Aorus Z370 Ultra Gaming Motherboard Review

It’s Z370 launch day and that means we’re back with yet another feature packed motherboard! This one is from Aorus, the flagship gaming moniker from Gigabyte.

It features support for multiple graphics cards, high-performance memory, overclocking of the CPU, and blazing fast storage solutions. So let’s dive in and take a closer look at what it has to offer.

Features
With 8th gen Intel Core Processor support, the new somewhat new Z370 platform is a small upgrade on the Z270 platform.

ASRock Z370 Fatal1ty Gaming K6 Motherboard Review

The new Z370 chipset motherboards may not be what everyone wanted when it comes to the new Coffee Lake CPUs. However, our reviews of the i5-8400 and the i7-8700K really surprised us at just how fast the new Intel hardware really is. Sure, Z370 offers no innovation over Z270, but with the new 6-core CPUs installed, they’re some of the fastest gaming hardware on the market today. With that in mind, we’ve got yet another premium gaming motherboard to test today, the ASRock Z370 Fatal1ty Gaming K6!

Equipped with the upgraded 1151 socket for 8th Gen Intel Coffee Lake, the K6 is packed full of high-end features. It supports quad-SLI and 3-way CrossFireX for extreme gaming builds. You’ll also find very high-quality sound hardware, negating the need for external sound processing. There’s a huge amount of storage options, including M.2 and Optane support. If that wasn’t enough, there’s dual LAN too, which certainly couldn’t hurt if you’re a serious online gamer.

ASRock Z370 Killer SLI Motherboard Review

The new ASRock Z370 motherboards have already impressed us, as have many other Z370 motherboards. Do they offer anything new over Z270, not really, but they do allow the use of the new 6-core powerhouse that is the Intel Core i7-8700K. Z370 established its self as the fastest gaming platform around this week, and I’m eager to see that trend continue with the Killer SLI motherboard from ASRock.

Equipped with the upgraded 1151 socket, the new motherboard delivers support for the latest Coffee Lake processors from Intel, as well as blazing fast DDR4 memory, and multiple graphics card.

It should be a robust overclocker as well, supporting up to 4266+(OC) memory, and running a Digital PWM 10 Power Phase design for the CPU. Of course, you’ll get a 45A Power Choke, Nichicon 12K Black Caps, and much more, allowing you to maintain high overclocks and stable voltages for extended periods.

ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-I Gaming Motherboard Review

One of the first motherboards we’ll be testing is the new ASUS RoG STRIX Z370-I. Of course, it’s also one of the first Z370 Mini-ITX motherboard we’ve tested too. Mini-ITX is a popular market, especially for those who want a compact system that doesn’t eat up lots of desktop space, or that they can take to LAN gaming events. However, you’ll still want high-end performance, and the I-Gaming is pretty robust in terms of features, so I have high hopes for its gaming performance.

COLORFUL iGame GTX 1080 Ti KUDAN Review

There are cards that I would like to test and there are cards that I would love to test. KUDAN is one of the most expensive and hardest to find graphics cards in the world. It took me few months to convince Colorful to send one of these cards for this review. Two weeks ago, the package arrived.
