ASUS TUF Z370-Pro Gaming review - Product Showcase

When we place the motherboard at an angle we see the rather familiar socket LGA1151. It will support Coffee Lake procs, these are referred to as the 8th generation Core series processors. If you count along with me, it appears to feature a six power phase design for the CPU. 

 

 
Storage ports then -- ASUS is equipping the board with six SATA3 ports. There are two M.2 slots that have been tucked away close to the upper and lower PCI-Express slots. See that in the photo below.  

 

 

PCIe Gen3 x4 is fast, delivering up to 32 Gb/s data transfer speed per connector, the M.2 solution supports RAID modes. Again, the Z370 chipset runs out of PCIe lanes, the M.2 units are shared between SATA ports. 

 

There are two M.2 SSD slots available, two 8cm type 2242/2260/2280. Both support PCIe x4/x2 Gen 3.0. The NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 onboard connectors are however shared with the SATA connectors. So if you use the upper M.2 slot then SATA1 will be disabled. With the 2nd M.2 slot in use it means that port 5 and 6 are disabled.

 

And, as stated on the previous page, it supports single and dual channel with support up-to DDR4 4000 (O.C.) and starts at 2133 MHz memory modules. 4 x DDR4 DIMM sockets can sport up-to 64 GB of system memory. We recommend something in the middle, a nice 3200 Mhz kit for example is a good balance in perf/price ratio. Volume in the end matters more than frequency, keep that in mind.
