ASRock motherboard Motherboards Z370M-ITX/AC

So far so good and it has some great options for a small board M.2 Socket WiFi/Bluetooth and at a great price. using it with no problems yet. if your's gives you issues then probably got a bad board unfortunately its always a big gamble but I wish you the best of luck with your build.8700k processornode 202 caseNVMe TOSHIBA 256GBGskill 4-3200C16-8GVKB1080gtx tiwestern digtel 7200rpm black drive 2 GB.

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.

The media could not be loaded. 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.

I always buy either Asus or Gigabyte motherboards, but the fanboys on r/buildapc prompted me to give ASRock a try. Big mistake. I can't get any video, and worse; even though the board comes with a PC speaker I can't get any kind of post code, either. Unfortunately I bought the board too far in advance, so can't return it. Back to the drawing board, but this time with one of the trustworthy (and yes, more expensive) brands that I'm comfortable with.Edit: Following up on this, I bought this ASUS MB as a replacement: ASUS ROG Strix B360-I Gaming LGA1151 (Intel 8th Gen) DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 B360 Mini ITX Motherboard and had the system working in under an hour. The problem was the motherboard, my first (and last) ASRock.

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.

The mother board is great and the overclocks are stable. My only gripe is that the WiFi antennas are really crappy so I had to order new, larger router antennas for $15 (rp-sma ports) to fully use this board. I would still recommend this board.

This ASRock board works just fine if stock operation is what you're after. I wouldn't recommend this board for any kind of overclocking, however. While the BIOS is easily navigated, the design and implementation of the mainboard's VRM is such that as soon as any serious load is placed on the CPU the multiplier will drop. In my experience with this board, I've had the multiplier drop all the way down to x35 on my 8700K.So, the board functions wonderfully at base clocks. It's not hardly useful at all if OC'ing is what you're after.

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.
