ROG Strix H370-F Gaming ATX motherboard

The ASUS ROG Strix H370-F Gaming is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel H370 chipset for 8th and 9th Generation Intel Core processors using the LGA 1151 socket. It targets gamers and DIY builders who want a full-size board with RGB lighting and dual M.2 storage slots without overclocking features. The board includes a pre-mounted I/O shield, SupremeFX S1220A audio and Intel I219-V Gigabit LAN.

Check CPU generation and memory speed limits

This board only supports 8th and 9th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors in the LGA 1151 300 Series socket; older LGA 1151 CPUs will not work. DDR4 2666 MHz is supported only with 8th Generation 6-core processors, otherwise modules run at 2400 MHz or 2133 MHz. The chipset does not allow CPU overclocking, so K-series chips run at stock speeds.

Dual M.2 slots and expansion layout

Two M.2 sockets accept 2242, 2260 and 2280 drives; one runs at PCIe 3.0 x4 and the other at PCIe 3.0 x2 or SATA mode, with a heatsink on the first slot. Six SATA 6Gb/s ports handle additional drives. A primary PCIe 3.0 x16 slot takes a graphics card, a second x16 slot runs at x4 and four x1 slots add peripherals. USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A and Type-C ports sit on the rear I/O.

Questions about this item

Does the Strix H370-F Gaming ship with the I/O shield already fitted and are any cables or drives missing from the box?

The board includes a pre-mounted I/O shield in the retail package. No M.2 SSD, SATA cables or DDR4 modules are supplied, so you must buy those separately.

Which M.2 slot should I use for a 2280 NVMe drive to get the full PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth?

Install the drive in the M.2_2 socket; it runs at PCIe 3.0 x4, while M.2_1 is limited to PCIe 3.0 x2 or SATA mode.

What practical difference does the 2666 MHz DDR4 rating make once the board is built?

With an 8th Gen 6-core CPU the memory controller runs at 2666 MHz; faster modules will simply down-clock to that speed.
