Approved

The STRIX B360-F Gaming is one of the better looking B360 motherboards out there and it arrives with a good array of features – giving gamers a slice of the ROG pie without costing the earth!

Mid-range motherboards used to mean that you were having to make serious concessions to get them in at a price point affordable to the masses. We generally dreamt of high end ones, and then purchased the closest approximation we could get within budget. As Intel have placed more and more of the controllers and hardware connectivity options onto the chipsets themselves, so both the B360 and H370 offer an awful lot for a relatively modest investment
