Intel Z370 Motherboard Review Collection
The ASUS ROG Apex line of boards have always been known for its focus on overclocking as well as unique design implementations like the “X” shaped board and the unique ‘DIMM.2’ slot – a DRAM-like slot for a bundled add-in card that can be used for two additional M.2 modules on a PCIe 3.0 x8 link.

Gigabyte’s Z370 Aorus Gaming 5 offers a more cost-conscious alternative to its big brother, the Z370 Aorus Gaming 7: Shaving the second Gigabit Ethernet port off the I/O panel, the firm also shaved $50 off the price tag while adding a low-cost Wi-Fi adapter. A few onboard buttons are also gone, along with the Gaming 7’s single M.2 heat spreader, but Gaming 5 buyers still get the three M.2 storage slots of its higher-priced sibling.

The Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming-ITX/ac broadens the Mini-ITX options for mainstream-CPU overclockers, while adding Thunderbolt 3 to the mix. Still, we suggest buyers choose their favorite Z370 Mini-ITX board based mainly upon what connectors they need.

By now, a few of you are wondering why the non-Wi-Fi board simply didn’t reclaim the two PCIe lanes previously dedicated to the Wi-Fi board’s 802.11ac controller. The only answer we have is that the unchanged PCB layout likely leaves those two resources as a pathway to nowhere.

Just take a look at the arsenal attached to this 9.6-inch square of PCB joy: two M.2 PCIe SSDs, six SATA 6GB/s ports, dual PCIe x16 slots, USB 3.0 header, five PWM fan headers, and support for 64GB of DDR4 running all the way up to 4,000MT/s. Pretty snazzy. It’s not a huge amount, but it’s more than enough to forge any number of RAID arrays, run SLI and XFire configs, and pump a decent amount of airflow around all at the same time.

This board comes packed with all the features you’d expect from a Z series motherboard including dual M.2 slots with SATA and PCIe Gen 3 X4 support, USB 3.1 Type-C, RGB Fusion, and Smart Fans 5 to name a few. But you can pack all the features into a motherboard you want, it all comes down to performance.

While the iGame Z370 Vulcan X V20 looks nicely designed, small items (ranging from its manual to its firmware) need some final polish, making it a tough sell as a high-end enthusiast Z370 board.

The Prime Z370-A supports keeping all three of its x16-length slots active, even when hosting two M.2 drives, which should be seen as a significant benefit by anyone who might ever consider installing two M.2 drives. Sharing problems are still present but lessened, as the second M.2 slot gets only two PCIe lanes until the user goes into firmware and sets the slot to x4 mode, which disables two of the SATA ports.

While many enthusiasts want the latest, greatest, bleeding edge in features, that often extends into unproven territory. If you are willing to take some risks, that’s fine, but many builders want one thing: a build that lasts and never gives them problems. To that end, Gigabytes Ultra Durable line is built with one thing in mind. Lasting Quality. The top…
