Asus announced new Z370 motherboards in the ROG, Strix, TUF, and Prime families.
These motherboards have support for Intel’s 8th Generation Core i processors.
According to the company, these new Z370 based motherboards are designed with overclocking in mind. Depending on the motherboard, end users can choose between 5-Way Optimization or OC Tuner intelligence that automatically overclocks your system based on the type of CPU you currently have installed. Asus also stated that its Z370 motherboards are capable of memory overclocking up to DDR4-4000 speeds with all slots populated, and some are even capable of reaching DDR4-4333 and higher.
Sans the mini-ITX motherboard offering, these new Z370 motherboards all support multi-GPU configurations and SafeSlot reinforced PCI-E slot technology that prevents damage from moving a system with heavy graphics cards.
The LEET Z370-Lightsaber is an ATX motherboard equipped with all the features you’ve come to expect from a Z370-powered board, including up to 64GB of 3,200MHz dual channel DDR4 RAM. There are three PCIe 3.0 x16 slots for multi-GPU configurations and an additional three PCIe x1 slots for expansion.
This motherboard is outfitted with two M.2 Gen3 slots with Intel Optane support. There are a total of six SATA 6Gb/s ports that support RAID 0/1/5/10. The LEET Z370-Lightsaber comes with fifteen USB ports–two USB 3.1, six USB 3.0, and seven USB 2.0.
ECS has upgraded its digital power delivery system with durable chokes and MOSFETs, for increased stability and smoother power delivery. Audio duties are handled by Realtek’s ALC 1150 8-channel (7.1) HD audio. This board boasts an onboard audio amplifier, Nichicon capacitors, golden audio connectors, as well as independent power delivery for the audio chip to avoid electromagnetic interference.
Additional features include a BIOS update button, BIOS Set button, and an Auto O/C button. The LED code selector allows you to switch the three-character display between post codes, CPU voltage, DIMM voltage, CPU temperature, and PCH temperature.
The LED Trace Path with Multi-Color Choice lighting system is adjustable via the included Intelligent EZ Utility.
