Pros: - SFX power supply - Usually very quiet* (see other note below) - ATX adapter bracket included

Cons: - Screws holes layout not standard, work only with 3 holes bracket - Automatic fan control annoying

Overall Review: Usually SFX power supply have 5 screws hole to fit either 3 holes or 4 holes layout. Unfortunately, my case used the 4 holes layout, so I had to drill a new hole to be able to fit it correctly. *The power supply automatically controls the fan depending on the load and temperature. However, instead of starting it slowly for few minutes, it only start the fan for small burst of 5-10 secondes about each minute. Also not ideal if the case layout rely on the power supply to exhaust some of its air, which it is my case and might also explain why it actually need to start the fan. Would have been nice to have a switch to decide if the fan is allow to stop (like Corsair "Eco Mode").

Pros: - Stable and easy overclocking - Good quality, feel solid - Overall good specifications - Great BIOS

Cons: - Terrible fan control - USB 3.0 connector should have been in angle (connect to the side) - Integrated I/O shield doesn't fit exactly, it left a small gap with the case cutout. - Slighty too much voltage when not overclocking

Overall Review: I hesitated between 3 or 4 stars. Basically a good motherboard, but I came from another Asus board, the B350-F, that I consider almost perfect for the price. I upgraded to a 2700x and need to put a second M.2 drive, so I decided to also upgrade the motherboard. Except for the better chipset, there is not much to justify that this mother board is 100$ more. If the X370-F model has a second M.2, would probably choose it over this new model. I also begin to hate fan control with Asus boards. By default, the minimum value cannot be set lower than 60% unless running the fan tuning, which generally detect it correctly fans specs, but there is often one of the fans than its minimal value remain at 60% or higher. This behavior happens even with high end Noctua PWM Fan. Ironically this issue was less severe with the B350-F. Also maximum/critical temperature cannot be set higher than 75c, wich also limit how to set CPU fan curve. Also, might be subjective, but I'm really not a fan of the reflective ROG text sticker on chipset heatsink. Fortunately, the rest of the design try to keep a very neutral look (everything mostly black). M.2 heatsink is also annoying by blocking access to pci express release notch, that almost require to use a flat screw driver to push it down, unless you have very small fingers. Heatsink on the bottom M.2 slot would avoid this problem (like it is the case on several others Asus boards). Having a right-angle USB 3.0 header to be able to connect it to the side would have made cleaner cable management. Many motherboards have 2 of these header to feature both options. Finally, the overclocking on this board is really easy and in most case you can left voltage and everything to "auto". However to achieve that, Asus tend to always provide more voltage than needed. So if you are not overclocking, there is room to undervolt to keep idle temperature lower. It will affect a bit the XFR boost, but if you are already not using any OC profile it will have very negligible effect.

Pros: - Good performances for a 1070 Ti - Small size - One of the cheapier 1070 Ti - Seems good quality and solid

Cons: - Relatively noisy - No "Zero fan" fonction - Limited cooling capabilities

Overall Review: Basically choose this card for its small size to have to potential to put it in a small mini-ITX case. Still a very nice card, perform even better than a MSI Gaming 1070 Ti Titanium that I have in another system, probably just have been lucky and get a better chip with this one (silicon lottery! ;)). In theory have less overclocking potential, but still perform better than my MSI card at max overclock. The card look great (nice backplate and white LED) and feel solid. The only inconvenient is really the fan noise that is still louder that higher end model and doesn't provide any function that stop the fan when the card is below a certain temperature. The cooling capabilities are also more limited, but in a reasonably ventilated case it doesn't really make a huge difference (3-4 degrees at most).

Pros: - Small - Low Power - Dual Gigabit LAN

Cons: - Not very powerful - Sata Only for storage, no M.2

Overall Review: If you intend to use as small PC for light day-to-day task (Internet Browsing, Media, etc.) it will do the job at a very reasonable price without taking a lot of space. It could also make a good HTPC. On my side, it was the dual gigabit Lan interface that make it perfect (in theory) for a small router using pfSense. For a very basic usage, it worked ok (though there is some tweak for starting the installation). However, it used realtek chip that are not very well supported on pfsense, which often lead to very low transfert speed and even making it crash on medium/heavy traffic load. If you plan to use for pfSense, do some research before buying to avoid wasting your time.

Pros: - Low Profile - Samsung B-Die chip - Overlock easily to 3466 Mhz

Cons: - XMP timing relatively high

Overall Review: Really good memory for Ryzen if you want fast RAM without going with a very expensive kit. I checked mine and it is Samsung B-Die chip, which generally work very well with Ryzen processors, though other buyers reported that modules are with Hynix chips XMP timing are relatively high, but I was able to lower it equivalent to CL15 on x470 board with a 2700x.

Pros: - TKL very compact - Cherry MX switches - Backlight very bright with good brightness control - Good build quality

Cons: - Not RGB! :( - No wrist rest - No cherry mx brown option for this model

Overall Review: I used on a daily basis a Corsair K70 with cherry MX brown switches. I wanted similar keyboard with TenKeyLess format to save space on my desk and better positioning for gaming. I would probably have chosen the K65 RGB, but it was too expensive for what I am willing to spend on a keyboard. Finally got this one a sale. I would prefer mx brown switches for the tactile feedback, but the mx red still feel great. Built quality is excellent and the frame feel very solid even if not using brushed aluminium like the K65 (or K70). Backlight is good, and very bright at maximum level. Brightness control can be adjust directly on the keyboard or through the corsair utility application. It would have been nice to have an included wrist rest, but the keyboard is still very comfortable to use without it. Overall very satisfy with this keyboard and I have no regret that I could not get the K65, though RGB would have been nice! 😉
