ASUS RoG STRIX Z370-F Gaming Motherboard Review

Synthetic Benchmarks

3DMark Firestrike

ASUS complete the triple fronted force of win here, with the STRIX F clocking into 3rd place in 3DMark. Overclocking closed the gap on pretty much everything, but the F certainly remained competitive.

Overclocked

Unigine Superposition 1080p Extreme

Again, with Unigine the F Gaming is scoring very well at 5516. Don’t ask me how the Mini-ITX model got 6386, as we think it’s powered by magic.

Overclocked

PCMark 10 Express

Now we’re talking, as the F Gaming blasted straight to the top of the PCMark 10 scoreboard, and held onto that lead even while overclocked. This means it’s going to be great for day-to-day tasks at home or in the office!

Overclocked

WPrime 32M and 1024M

Again, the F Gaming is setting some great scores, setting the fastest Z370 WPrime time at stock. It didn’t win with the overclocked time, but it’s still very close to the other Z370 motherboards.

Overclocked

Cinebench R15

For Cinibench, the Intel Core i7-8700K puts up a good fight. With the F Gaming helping the new CPU set the second fastest time for Z370 at stock, and a competitive score while overclocked.

Overclocked

Handbrake MP4 to MKV Conversion 4K

Once again, it leads at stock, albeit by a tiny 0.1 seconds, but that’s still faster no matter what. Overclocking saw a tiny improvement in performance, and it’s yet again competitive, but I did expect a little more here.
