ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING

Worth Considering

The mid-range Republic of Gamers motherboards from ASUS have always been a safe and reliable choice for their respective platforms and the ASUS ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming does nothing to buck that trend

Performance

When this is combined to the upgrades ASUS have made to their own technologies it's clear that whilst you could potentially install a Intel Core i9-9900K into your existing Z370 motherboard, to make the fullest use of all it has to offer and eliminate any potential compatibility problems, going all in on the Z390 is the way to go.

Premium

Pitting this ROG motherboard against other familiar Z390 motherboards it’s great to see some outstanding performance figures coming to the table. We were especially impressed by the options inside the UEFI BIOS for overclocking – which are extensive.

4 stars out of 5

Build quality is excellent [...] we had no issue regarding performance even with our CPU overclocked up to 5GHz.

This motherboard provides a great base to build a high end gaming machine [...] and will fit with many gaming configurations thanks to its neutral design. [...] We appreciate the placement of fan connectors which makes installation easier. [...] AI Optimization is also quite efficient and we got our CPU overclocked up to 5GHz.

Very Good

If you want to build your own gaming PC with high quality components for an intel CPU, the Z390-E is a gorgeous motherboard which is affordable and dominates its competitors.

This generation the Strix in my opinion is a real 'I want to have this' board, with a tighter finish and thicker decoration than ever before, lets just say one that does not fall short compared to the more expensive ROG options and leaves something like the Prime well behind.

In the end, we can be short about this STRIX, it's really good when it comes to BIOS, features, and stability.

It's everything your heart could desire

The featureset of this motherboard is really impressive. Do not forget the built-in WiFi and Bluetooth! Because of this kind of additions, the Asus ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming is just nice and complete. A motherboard that you can trust.

ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming claims to fairly occupy a place in any high performance PC, and its gaming design is assumed by the developer

This is great option for building a gaming system with a couple of massive graphics cards, top-end audio subsystem, efficient cooling, enhanced 10-phase power subsystem, gigabit LAN controller with the ability to prioritize traffic, and support 802.11ac Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 5.0 wireless interfaces.

Asus Rog Strix Z390-E Gaming on the day of the release of the text was not available in Poland, and abroad its price was about $ 250 (about PLN 1000). I think that the record is definitely worth the money. It has been fantastically made and does not limit connected components. It has a lot of connectors on both the PCB and the back panel. It should be distinguished up to three USB 3.1 Gen 2 and USB-C connectors. The disc also has rich additions or a built-in Wi-Fi card, which is still rarely found in new designs. If it goes to Poland at a similar price as it is available abroad it will definitely be worth investing in and making it the basis of a new computer.

The Intel Core i9 9900K and ROG STRIX Z390 E-Gaming have successfully completed all the tests that the writer offers. Except the temperature problem, it is almost perfect and this combination will be an extremely valuable option if you are looking forward to having a super PC.

RUBY

If we compare what we all get for this money, it will be clear to us that this is a shorter Maximus series for the lower price, so it's logical that the motherboard deserve Ruby and Overclocker award.
