Intel’s first batch of Coffee Lake desktop CPUs added cores alongside a high-end Z370 platform primed for overclocking. The increased horsepower is ideal for people who do more with their PCs, whether it’s serious work like content creation and video editing, or recreational tasks like live-streaming gaming sessions. But extra cores aren’t limited to flagship territory. They extend all the way down to the entry-level Core i3, and today they’re joined by new H370 and B360 platforms that bring additional connectivity to affordable price points. We’ve deployed these chipsets across a complete family of ASUS 300-series motherboards that help everyone get the most out of their PCs.
A new generation built on an evolved foundation
Every build and user is different, so we offer a range of options across ROG, TUF Gaming, and Prime lines. While each family has distinct aesthetics and personalities, all three draw from core ASUS DNA that has been carefully refined over nearly 30 years of making motherboards. Signature features can be found throughout, from DIGI+ VRM circuitry that delivers reliable power to the CPU, to OptiMem trace routing that improves signaling for your memory.
Our critically acclaimed UEFI BIOS makes it easy to dial-in your rig. Along with providing the usual selection of intuitive tuning options, it has a new search function that lets you quickly find and modify specific settings. Configuration profiles can now be saved and shared with others, and the firmware retains them after updates. Even novices can flash the UEFI with the integrated firmware updater, which automatically downloads and applies the latest release without booting into the operating system.
PC gaming is on everyone’s lips, but we’re doing more than just talking about it. Our new H370 and B360 motherboards provide better cooling for gaming by intelligently adjusting the speed of system fans based on the GPU temperature of select ASUS and ROG graphics cards. System fans are usually governed by CPU or chassis temperatures, but gaming taxes the graphics card more than anything else, making the GPU temperature a much better trigger for ramping up the cooling.

Some of the boards’ shared features are contributed by Intel’s latest 300-series chipsets. The H370 and B360 go beyond their Z370 predecessor by integrating not only USB 3.1 Gen 2 support for next-gen peripherals, but also optional 802.11ac Wi-Fi for wireless networking. And they retain support for Intel Optane Memory, which uses ultra-fast flash storage to reduce load times for the mechanical storage commonly found in entry-level machines. The H370 platform can also turbocharge storage performance with bootable RAID arrays based on NVMe and SATA drives.
ROG Strix brings gaming motherboards in all sizes
Unlike recent entrants, the Republic of Gamers has been building gaming motherboards for over a decade. Our experience and expertise shows in the new 300-series family, which is filled with upgrades that simplify assembly, enhance cooling, and improve the look of your PC.
The new ROG Strix motherboards are emblazoned with unique cyber-text patterns that range from bold and colorful to subtle and monochrome. We add more color to the entry-level models because system lighting isn’t as common at that end of the spectrum, and you shouldn’t need LEDs to stand out in the crowd. If you want to light up your chassis, all the boards have a header for RGB strips that illuminate your entire system, and Aura Sync can match colors and effects with compatible components from ROG and our partners.Form meets function in the pre-mounted I/O shield we pioneered with the high-end Rampage V Edition 10 motherboard created to celebrate ROG’s 10th anniversary. Now available on all Strix H370 and B360 motherboards, this feature streamlines the installation process for budding builders and savvy enthusiasts alike. It also looks cleaner, especially when paired with the I/O covers that now adorn even our Mini-ITX models.
Tuning your system’s cooling for maximum performance with minimal noise is easy with Fan Xpert 4. Its configurable response curves can draw from a range of sensors, including an external probe, and Extreme Quiet modes for the CPU and system fans offer instant stealth. These adjustable options are complemented by a dedicated header for all-in-one liquid coolers that doesn’t require any setup—just plug in and go.
Additional enhancements are available across the line, including SafeSlot reinforcement to protect against damage from heavy graphics cards, Intel Gigabit Ethernet for lag-free wired networking, and SupremeFX audio that pulls you deeper into games. Dual M.2 slots provide plenty of storage capacity for ever-larger downloads, and the UEFI integrates secure-erase functionality for both SATA and NVMe SSDs.
With solutions for multiple form factors, the Strix H370 and B360 series scales to fit any build. The ROG Strix H370-I Gaming and Strix B360-I Gaming squeeze the Republic of Gamers experience into a compact Mini-ITX footprint that’s perfect for minimalist battlestations and LAN party rigs. Both boards keep your primary M.2 SSD cool using a double-decker heatsink that also dissipates thermals from the chipset. Aura illuminates the entire right edge and combines with a header for addressable RGB strips to enable next-level lighting effects, while dual-band Intel Wi-Fi with MU-MIMO support adds wicked-fast wireless networking.
