Question 1

Can I install a video card on this motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Yep you can install you're own GPU, it doesnt have an integrated video card built in so it's meant for adding your own.

Question 2

Will Win7 run on this board?

Accepted Answer

I wish , but no, I could NOT get Win7 to install.. i have heard that some People have got it to work, but it wasn't easy..

Question 3

does it use a ddr3 or  ddr4 ram?

Accepted Answer

DDR4 ram, it says in the specifications tab.

Question 4

Will the i-9 9900KF work on this?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you can't overclock with this board. The max RAM you can run is also 2666mhz which is midtier by today's standards. If you are into RGB control via a motherboard header, this has a single 4pin header which is also very limited. Not a lot of options for MATX boards at the moment. Overall its a decent board. I'm currently running this board.

I'm considering switching to the MSI MPG Z390M which allows overclocking, supports faster RAM, and has more options for RGB add ons.

Question 5

Question 7

what storage does it support?

Accepted Answer

You really need to install SSD (solid state drive) for best performance. It holds M.2 type up to 2280 length. The specs page lists all compatible types, but if you're looking to see what has worked, I installed WD Blue 3D NAND 1TB PC SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s M.2 2280 Solid State Drive - WDS100T2B0B for my main drive, then I installed Intel Optane M.2 2280 32GB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x2 Memory Module MEMPEK1W032GAXT to accelerate the SSD to 32GB/sec. Then I installed WL 2TB (2 Terabyte) 64MB Cache 7200RPM SATA III (6.0Gb/s) Internal Desktop 3.5" Hard Drive for backup storage.

Question 8

is it compliant with PCI express 1 2 or 3?

Accepted Answer

Yes, per the Asus website, these are PCIe 3.0 slots
If you google "ASUS ROG STRIX B360-G GAMING" and go to the manufacturers website, the full specs are listed.

Question 9

how do you reset the bios on this motherboard?

Accepted Answer

There's a jumper that you can bridge.  You can find the location by looking at the manual. Or you can remove the button cell battery for 5 seconds before reinserting it.

Question 10

does it take i3 intel core?

Accepted Answer

Hi. This motherboard (by looking at the Specifications) should be able to support any 8th gen or above processor. Also, it must be an LGA 1151 processor. I have found one that matches this processor in case you cannot find one, however, this question answering platform will not allow links, and it thinks I put in a phone number.
