ASRock motherboard Motherboards Z370M-ITX/AC

I bought this board for my first build. I'm using a locked i3 so I can't comment on overclocking. No Thunderbolt 3 port but you do get two HDMI ports. I like having the dual and triple monitor options. The board works fine. No major issues nor failure. I'll eventually upgrade the processor. If I run into any problems, I'll update the review. Overall, its a great board with plenty of I/O. I do indeed recommend it.

Bought this to use in an ITX build for a friend as a HTPC. He's not computer knowledgable at all, so it didn't matter what he got, but it was a decent price for a Z370 board. It paired with an i3 8100 and founders GTX 970 just fine, and was able to play a lot of older AAA games (from a few years ago) just fine at 1080p. It won't do 144fps for new fast panels, but works great for 60fps. The board has some decent features I can recall, and the BIOS was decent. I'm a big ASUS fan, and while the ASROCK bios isn't as polished in my opinion, if you don't need to make an assload of changes it'll do just fine. This was a decent ITX motherboard, and depending on price, I'd buy it again if it were significantly cheaper than anything else.

Loved double Intel NICs and M2 slots. PCIe M2 SSD Samsung 960 EVO Series - 250GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V6E250BW) is a must-have and makes things fly. The high degree of integration makes ITX form factor sufficient for 90% of things you may want to do with any computer. I use it as an HTPC with i3 CPU and add-on video card.

First board was bricked due to a BIOS update which is a common issue on these boards as I later found out and why ASRock offers free BIOS replacements. The 2nd board's HDMI is now not working and this board only sees an HDMI port when I have to reboot it. I've only connected/disconnected the HDMI port maybe 5 times and now the whole system will lock up randomly because of it. Worthless board but I think I'm gonna have to buy another because I need the data off my drives.

good motherboard but the cpu power cable is poorly place. It makes it a bit difficult to plug in and it might get in the way of the heatsink

The motherboard is of excellent quality and fits neatly into a small case. Components fit relatively easily into the board. The Wi-fi inside works comparably to a PCI-E Wi-fi card (in other words, fairly well), but the provided antennae are extremely prone to interference. Of course, Ethernet is always preferable, but be sure to get other antennae if you intend to use the Wi-fi.

First one I got worked fine for 3 months (until an AIO water cooler line spilled all over it.) Second one worked for ~1 hour before frying itself and taking my CPU with it. I think it was the CMOS battery leads running between the VRM's and their heatsink. Wasn't trying to overclock or anything. Tech Support took a week to get back to my first inquiry, without a real answer, and it took >1month of back and forth to troubleshoot. In the end I just returned the 2nd MB for a new one from Amazon, and then had to guess that the CPU was fried and bought a new one, or I still wouldn't know what's wrong ($370 for the new CPU I won't get back). 3rd MB seems to be working so far. Aside from the problems mentioned above, seems a decent piece of equipment. Just send it back immediately if you have any issues instead of trying to go through tech support.

Works great, overclocking on this bios is straight forward. My 8700k is running stable at 4.8ghz. I am currently using a phanteks case that uses a ribbon to move the gpu behind the motherboard, so I am glad that the single m.2 slot is actually on the front of this board rather than behind it like tha f4tality gaming spec motherboard.

Très bonne carte mère. Fait le boulot dans un boîtier mini-ITX. Petit bémol concernant les deux ports Ethernet, je n'en vois pas trop l'intérêt et j'aurai préféré un meilleur système audio. Le design n'est pas tape à l'oeil contrairement à d'autres cartes, mais à des prix supérieurs. Utilisé avec un i3 8100 et une GTX 1050Ti.

Muy pequeña y 2 nics. Perfecta para routers. En las características dice que su tamaño es de 27x17. En realidad es de 17x17cm. De momento sin problemas.

I needed a mATX motherboard with modern chipset that supports slot bifurcation and this does beautifully. Plus Asrock support was excellent - real humans that understand bifurcation and answer quickly. For the record, this breaks the single x16 slot to x8 x4 x4, which, combined with an AmeriRack 1 to 3 riser, gives an x8 slot, an x4 slot and an x4 slot. The BIOS also offers an x8 x8 setting. You can also use slot bifurcation without a riser card with the Asus Hyper M.2 x16 card that connects 4x NVMe x4 drives, but the x8 x8 BIOS setting will connect 2 drives and the x8 x4 x4 BIOS setting will connect 3 drives. No idea if the Intel virtual raid would work.

自宅のESXi鯖用としてi7-8700に32GBで使っています。 不可思議な挙動も無く、安定しています。 NICが2個あるので、仮想環境では結構便利です。 M2も含めてストレージインターフェースはベンチで計測してもH97の構成の時よりもずいぶん実効速度が速くなっており満足です。

Excellent little board. I must admit to how impressed I am with Asrock recently as thier quality seems to have increased significantly. Installed an 8600K and all works without issue with just one weird problem. If using onboard graphics and then installing a graphics card, it is not recognised. To solve this, just reset the BIOS to default settings with the card installed and reboot.
