The ASUS Republic of Gamers (aka ‘ROG) is a family of premium gaming products ranging from video cards to motherboards to peripherals, but every enthusiast knows the foundation of any build is the motherboard. If you look up the definition of ‘Hero’ and ignore the bit about a sandwich, you are left with “a person who is admired or idealized…

Of course, there is a slightly more obvious difference, which is that the Z370-E includes silver heatsinks, and in the flesh these do actually look pretty good and make a change from the dark grey or black colour schemes we’ve been seeing of late while still managing to maintain a colour-neutral scheme to complement RGB lighting.

ASRock’s Taichi branded motherboards have been a very popular choice the last few generations for their well-balanced platform offering rock-solid, easy to use premium features at an optimal price point. The Taichi features the usual machine gear pattern over the majority of the board but in a more subdued grey and black contrast with a large gear shaped heatsink over…

With the launch of Intel’s 8th Generation desktop processors last week and the need for a new chipset (Intel Z370) we have a slew of new motherboards on the block. ASUS has quite a few different Z370 motherboards available right now, from their higher-end Republic of Gamers (ROG) brand to their more affordable Prime series. I am actually a huge fan of the Prime Series.

ASRock’s OC Formula series motherboards typically trade blows with other top overclocking products such as ASUS’s ROG Apex and GIGABYTE’s SOC series boards, and with this generation, ASRock is bringing out their A-game. While the motherboard might look very similar to other X299 overclocking boards with only four memory DIMMs, a hefty VRM, and many full-sized PCI-E x16 slots, it actually packs some serious hardware you won’t notice without reading this review.

In our hands today, we have the MSI Z370 GAMING PRO CARBON AC which, as its name suggests supplies us with 802.11ac functionality straight out of the box. Along with the WiFi capabilities, this board also arrives with dual M.2 slots, trademark MSI features like Audio Boost 4 and MYSTIC LIGHT RGB functionality.

The board certainly looks cleaner than its direct predecessor. Two separate, screwed-in heatsinks sit at right angles to one another, by the CPU socket, though underneath there’s one long heatpipe, covering the power delivery section. You may think that directly above this duo is another heatsink, yet this is not the case.

Feature-packed motherboards often exceed the ATX specification out of necessity, and the Z370 Godlike Gaming follows that concept with a slew of slots and on-board controllers packed tightly on a 10.7”-deep board. Because it’s over an inch beyond the 9.6” (or 9.625”) depth of standard ATX, MSI affixes the EATX label so common among boards around this size.

As a Strix board, it has Asus’s now standard color neutral layout that uses black and gray, RGB lighting, and the angular Strix look. Today I’m going to take a look at its features, confirm that it performs well, check out the UEFI, and then talk a little about where it sits in the market and find out if it is worth picking up.

It should be a robust overclocker as well, supporting up to 4266+(OC) memory, and running a Digital PWM 10 Power Phase design for the CPU. Of course, you’ll get a 45A Power Choke, Nichicon 12K Black Caps, and much more, allowing you to maintain high overclocks and stable voltages for extended periods.
