Synthetic Benchmarks
3DMark Firestrike
For a mini-ITX motherboard, I was expecting performance to be a little lower. However, the chunky VRM hardware on the I Gaming didn’t slow it down in terms of performance at stock or while overclocking. It set our second highest score at stock, and a high score while overclocked. I retested, it scored high three times in a row and I suspect it may be a healthy BIOS that’s helping it keep that lead. Perhaps the other Z370 boards will catch up with a few updates.

Unigine Superposition 1080p Extreme
Stock performance was superb, killing it compared to the other Z370 motherboards and it remained competitive while overclocked too. Already it’s shaping up to be a good high-performance motherboard.

Overclocked
PCMark 10 Express
The GPU throughput was clearly great, and that continued into PCMark 10, with our third highest score so far at stock, and our second fastest while overclocked. Clearly, those 6-core Intel CPUs are pulling their weight nicely.

WPrime 32M and 1024M
The new Intel Core i7-8700K is no slouch and sets some impressive times. The Mini-ITX board didn’t set the fastest, but it’s certainly in the ballpark with other Z370 motherboards at stock clocks. However, once overclocked, it was the fastest board, albeit by a small margin.

Overclocked
Cinebench R15
Again, the Cinebench scores are right where we expected them to be. The bigger motherboards pulled slightly ahead, but in the real world, you likely wouldn’t notice a difference.

Overclocked
Handbrake MP4 to MKV Conversion 4K
Another solid score here, with all the Z370 boards scoring about the same. Clearly being mini-ITX isn’t a problem for this board, and it’s keeping a solid pace so far.

ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-I for this motherboard after I create a user account and your client I want to know how much will be the shipping cost for Greece in total euro. Thank you very much, after all, Georgios Keramiotis.
