While ASUS’s original X299 motherboards are still very well equipped to handle Intel’s HCC (up to 18C) parts, Intel even used them for reference scores for the 7980XE, the Rampage VI Extreme features some reworked socket circuitry and improved VRM cooling to better handle the new CPUs. The motherboard actually doesn’t even support Kaby Lake-X CPUs, and only supports the new Skylake-X CPUs, and as such is focused on supporting the new CPUs to their maximum.

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 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.
