With the X370 board ASRock releases an enthusiast class product, I am not calling it high-end as this board has it all, features wise. More than plenty enough features to keep you busy for a while.
The Ryzen processor has its own PCIe Gen 3 lanes available for your graphics solution. Ryzen has 24 PCIe 3.0 lanes yet 4 of them are being used to interface with the chipset. Then, depending on the chipset used, it adds gen 2.0 PCIe lanes through the chipset. The X370 Gaming has been fitted with RGB LED Headers, all was kept very subtle and can be configured on/off/animated. The primary graphics slots have metal shielding.

The board has 3 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slots which can be arranged in these slot configurations with graphics cards:
- 1-way mode - x16 / x0 / x0
- 2-way mode - x8 / x8 / x0
- 3-way mode - x8 / x8 / x4
