here's as rx-3 70 gaming k4 motherboard that is supposed to offer a nice balance between price and performance though is with all things yes let's take a look at this board and whether it is really worth your money welcome back to tech city and let's take a look at this vrm you get an 8 plus for phase power design sporting c no power SM for 336 low side MOSFETs and SM for 337 high side MOSFETs that are rated at 40 and 35 amps at 100 degrees Celsius respectively chokes are rated at 45 amps and the KFOR features 12 K solid state capacitors there are four dimm slots capable of supporting up to 64 gigabytes of ddr4 memory and currently XMP profiles were not working with this mainboard and the maximum I could get my memory too with speeds of 20 400 megahertz with 1t command timings however there was no option to change the command rates which is important for getting higher memory overclock especially past 3 gigahertz unreasonable voltages the vrm heatsink itself was getting quite hot I measured it at about 63 degrees on the sink after 20 minutes divided 54 at 3.85 gigahertz on my 1700 X this was unfortunately the max I can take this CPU to at one point three five six volts and the CPU although booting would not work at higher frequencies ironically enough cross testing my overclocks with others showed that this seems to be about the voltage sweet spot for these CPUs on 24/7 overclock and the k4 fatality handled that absolutely fine the onboard audio is quite simply exceptional with minus 90 decibel levels of crosstalk the lowest I've seen yet and features the ALC 1220 codec with 7.1 surround support and the mic input as usual on a throg board is quite solid with low noise I'll let you guys have a listen there is a quick mic in test on the X 370 gaming k4 motherboard with AV mode of boom pro microphone plug directly into the mic in port with a volume level of 50 and a plus 10 decibels there are 2 m2 nvme PCI slots that support native booting and to pcie 3.0 still pleated 16 speed slots of support SLI or crossfire there is also a full 24 PCIe land connectivity available on this board with the options for an extra 4 PCIe 1 speed slots and beside a connectivity you get 6 side of 3 slots that can be put into a raid array there's also three USB 2 and 2 USB 3 front outs 5 fan headers with one being a dedicated water pump header a TPM connector a doctor debug bias readout HD audio and comport headers and three LED connections there is only a single box on this board and looking in the BIOS menu just like any Azeroth board there is a lot of features here with the ability to manually overclock peace states which are essentially like your C States but you can program them the way you want to with different voltages and clock speeds this is where I really like to set in over clocks manually to take advantage of the cool and quiet features if your processor is not being stressed there is also options to disable and enable many of the features on this board so there is no option to save your overclocking profiles which was a pity you can however change memory timings and even attempt to enable XMP profiles looking near the rear of the board there is also the option for a wireless module that can be connected via an m2 slot which the module is not included with the motherboard further down there is two ps2 ports HDMI out six USB 3 ports which one is a finality Mouse port for a thousand Hertz polling one USB 3.1 and one Thunderbolt connector below that is your standard audio an optical jack and an rj45 port for the Intel I to 190 NIC so verdict time and the gaming case for is a solid motherboard coming in at 145 USD or 220 AUD and that even includes a dank RGB LED on the X 370 chipset heatsink which I know you guys all love though giggles aside it features a decent vrm in good onboard audio solution and of course a fast intel i to 119 neck it is this combo that will certainly keep gamers happy though the vrm still doesn't feature mosfet as good as the higher cloth Taichi which is also more expensive and overclocking is really hard without a clear CMOS button especially on an entirely new architecture which makes me recommend this ball to people who just want to get a risin are 70p you a good cooler and just slap it on and let the auto overclocking do its thing in other words this motherboard will be a great solution for those turbo noobs just getting into tax or people who couldn't be bothered overclocking hey guys if you enjoy this video be sure to hit that like button and if you dislike the view I'm sure to pop a dislike down there and let me know in the comment section below what you think of the as rock X 370 gaming k4 motherboard is it going to be your X 370 motherboard of choice would love to hear your thoughts and opinions as always and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace now for now bye
