To keep costs down, the MSI B350 Tomahawk uses the budget oriented controllers, such as the Realtek ALC892 audio codec and a Realtek 8111H network controller. Onboard video includes a HDMI 1.4 port, a DVI-D port and VGA. Users with an APU expecting a DisplayPort will have to look at pricier motherboard options.

The behemoth Core i9-7980XE CPU can easily draw that 300W at stock with MultiCore Enhancement enabled, meaning the Core i9-7980XE will crush the VRM of many of those boards just at “stock”. So with all that in mind, I strapped my own Core i9-7980XE CPU into the ASRock X299 Extreme4, powered it up, and immediately began overclocking. Let’s take a look.

ASRock offers us really interesting motherboards which are top quality and meet our expectations. What more, most of higher series motherboards are exceeding our expectations and it’s the case with the X370 Gaming ITX/ac. It’s a perfect motherboard for gamers who want to build small but powerful PC using AMD processor.

With the AM4 socket, this motherboard will house everything from the Ryzen range, such as the Ryzen 3, 5 and 7 series, including the 1800X. However, today we’ll be testing it with the Ryzen with Vega 2400. With the cost of the CPU and motherboard coming in at around £230, and not requiring a GPU for 720P and even 1080p gaming performance, that’s a tempting deal for many consumers.

We have taken a look at a few B350 motherboards that support the iGPU capabilities of the new Raven Ridge integrated graphics, but now we will take a look at an X370 motherboard with the same capabilities. The ASRock X370 PRO4 is an X370 motherboard with a very basic feature set, but designed to support the new Ryzen APUs. Let’s see what it has to offer.

Today we have another B350 chipset motherboard in for review, and this time it is one from MSI. These B350 motherboards we are reviewing have integrated graphics outputs, and in this case, MSI has added three GPU outputs onto the rear IO panel, and they even include VGA (D-SUB).

That said, the ROG Strix Z370-I Gaming, like many Z370 boards, doesn’t appear to offer that much more compared to its predecessor. In fact, the two boards look nearly identical, with large heatsinks covering a very similar-looking array of CPU power circuitry as well as a large heatsink covering the PCH and M.2 port.

It has the usual X299 selection of 8 DIMM slots supporting DDR4 at 4133 MHz for mind-blowing bandwidth. Storage, always important, starts with the ‘still pretty fast’ eight SATA ports and quickly ramps up to the insane world of U.2 and M.2 NVMe drives which pump out numbers so high that you would think they’d just been to Woodstock.

MSI’s Tomahawk comes with limited RGB, which makes sense, since many buyers have never really wanted to pay for that feature, anyway. Those few who swoon over RGB, however, likely won’t be disappointed by its minimization at this price level, while others who passionately hate it can simply turn it off. But that’s not the only feature that MSI scaled back on this relative “budget” Z370 board.

You get an ACK – specifically, the MSI X299 Gaming M7 ACK. This motherboard includes 3-way SLI and Crossfire support, dual M.2 slots with a unique heatsink design attached to the chipset, both front and rear USB 3.1 (10 Gbps) ports, dual Realtek audio chips, Killer based networking, and plenty of RGB LEDs to light up the case.
