INNOVATION
& AUDIO

M.2 Audio Combo

ROG Strix X370-I Gaming features an innovative riser card to help alleviate the constraints imposed by the mini-ITX form factor. The M.2 Audio Combo Card frees up prized real estate by raising M.2 drives and SupremeFX audio circuitry above the mainboard to minimize lateral signal interference. And it's neatly covered by a stylish heatsink that's capable of keeping the latest high-performance SDDs cool.

SupremeFX

Shielded audio, superior sound

ROG Strix SupremeFX audio has levelled up, delivering an exceptional 113dB signal-to-noise ratio on the line-in connection, and 120dB on the line-out for crystal-clear recording and playback. We've also added a low-dropout regulator for cleaner power delivery to the SupremeFX S1220A codec, plus Texas Instruments® RC4580 and OPA1688 op-amps for high gain with low distortion. It all adds up to audio that envelops you as never before.
