ASUS ROG Strix X370-F GAMING AMD Ryzen AM4 DDR4 HDMI DisplayPort M.2 ATX X370 Motherboard with USB 3.1

Loving this board, just built a new PC a month ago and this board gave me everything I needed and wanted. My only wish is that it had 2 USB 2.0 headers so I don’t need a internal hub. The BIOS is simple and easy to use, I used the tool in the BIOS to OC and it set my CPU to 4GHz and RAM to 3000MHz without any issues. I was amazed at how much of a difference the M.2 SSD makes, it’s my first SSD and I watched Win 10 install in 13 minutes, and from being off the PC loads into windows with everything loaded and ready to go in less than 10 seconds...This time I went with the trend of RGB and the board has a strip that compliments the rest of the build nicely. There’s 2 RGB headers on the board and the AURA software works like a charm to control all but one RGB part(the RAM fan is Corsair which requires its own software). The Coolermaster RGB fans are daisy chained and add a nice look to the PC, I thought only having 2 RGB headers would limit my options but a few splitters and I’m golden.Overall this board is a beast for its price, there’s only a few boards I liked better but were much more expensive. I used the included CD to install the drivers since I didn’t have internet access initially, some reviewers have said that using older drivers would cause issues but it worked perfectly and I updated later.My setup:Define R6 Black TG caseThis boardAMD Ryzen 1700xEVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SCCorsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB)Corsair H60 Liquid CPU CoolerSamsung 960 EVO M.2 Internal SSDSeagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm HDDThermaltake Smart Pro RGB 750W PSUCorsair Dominator Platinum Airflow RGB LED memory FanXPG Storm RGB LED Cooling Heatsink for M.2 SSDCooler Master MasterFan Pro 140mm High Air Flow RGB Case Fan- 1 120mm Static Pressure fan on the H60 radiatorPROS:PriceUSB3.1, front and rearPlenty of USB ports on rearBIOS is very user friendly2-way SLI and 3-way Crossfire supportEZ overclockingM.2 SSD readyAURA SyncVR ready- if you want to use VR make sure you GPU also supports it3D Printer support- I’ll never use it but it’s a cool featureCONS:1 USB 2.0 header, taken up by case I/O panelManual could be more specific in places but the necessary info is thereNo WiFi, I don’t use WiFi on PC's but it’s a feature that should be on all boards nowadays imoWish there were more RGB headers but I’m not sure how many boards have more than 2Overall I’d recommend this board to anyone, wether it’s for gaming, video editing, or just everyday use and you want to be future proofed. ASUS builds solid products and I’ve never had any problems with their boards in all the builds I’ve done for myself or friends/family.

The main thing I want a motherboard to do, is run stable, and without any annoying issues; and this thing does the job. Put my Ryzen 7 chip in, plus 2 sticks of 16gb ram, and booted first try. BUT, I'm also able to overclock my Ryzen 1700 to 4.0, and my RAM to 3200 running stable. The audio is eh, but I use an external sound card anyways. Lighting effects are nice, and I can apply lighting effects to the Wraith cooler the Ryzen 1700 comes with, and the Corsair memory I bought. BIOS updated are always being released. Only complaint is that there's only 2 USB 3.0 ports on the board. Wish there were 3 or 4 considering my Corsair link hardware uses the usb ports, but not a huge deal

The media could not be loaded. I've had this board since 2019, and never any issues. It did take me a few years to figure out the lights are fully addressable, (oops)But I am a graphic designer with a ryzen 7 2700x and a rtx 2070 and this boards kept everything together while I run every possible Adobe program with at least 5 documents in each for the last 4 years.Just updated her to the latest 6036? Bios build so hopefully she'll take a new cpu.

Absolute beast of a motherboard with two small problems. Seating the m.2 ssd was harder than expected and sticking ram into the slots I had to push down much harder than on any other motherboard I have used. I also had a problem when trying to get my ram to 3200mhz where the computer would turn on but only the DRAM light was on with no signal going to the monitor. After having a friend put his g skillz rgb ram into my motherboard we were able to reset the bios, then plug my g skillz ripjaws ram back into the motherboard and it worked while being set to 3200mhz. I didn't see any other people having this problem online so this took a few hours of trial and error and I would have been out of luck if I didn't have a friend with DDR4 memory nearby. Once I got through all the troubleshooting and got everything to work, this was easily the best motherboard I have ever owned. The bios compared to my old Gigabyte AM3 motherboard was much more intuative, xfr works like a dream, and after resetting the bios my 3200 mhz ram has worked without any hiccups.
