Overview
Not a budget board, this ASUS ROG Strix is built for a top Ryzen gaming or creator PC, with five drive slots for fast SSDs, a reinforced graphics slot and very fast USB-C ports. Multi-gig Ethernet, the newest Wi-Fi and ROG SupremeFX audio come built in.
Storage room, fast networking and front and rear USB-C cover nearly any enthusiast build. The second large slot runs with fewer lanes, and HDMI output relies on the processor having graphics.
Who it's for
Enthusiasts stacking several fast drives and a top graphics card will use the board's capacity. Builders on a modest plan will pay for features they leave empty.
Pros and cons
- Five M.2 slots
- Reinforced graphics slot
- Fast USB-C rear ports
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in
- Second x16 slot runs at x4
- Onboard video needs integrated graphics CPU
- Large board for small cases
- Dual power connectors needed
Performance notes
Expansion headroom comes from the chipset's many PCIe lanes, which feed five SSD slots and fast USB-C, though some slots share bandwidth. Memory speed above stock depends on the processor series and overclocking. Dual power connectors and ProCool II hardware support steady power delivery to high-core processors.
