Perfect Board ZERO Defects

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2018

PROS:
Perfect Board for MATX build paired with NZXT's H400i case. My 8700K overclocks to 5.3Ghz on 1.36v without issue. I've also got this paired with a 1080ti Evga FTW 3 Hybrid. The temperatures on the board itself never go above 32c, my CPU while under load does not go any higher than 51c my GPU is overclocked to 2075Ghz and has not gone over 55c. I game at 1440P and my frame rates range from 180 - 200+.
CONS:
This board does not have an RGB header.

I do not mind that his board does not have an RGB header. I have 4 RGB fans that are seen on the inside of the case and have the non-rgb stock case fans where they cannot be seen (I have a Kracken X52 cooler with the radiator in push pull). Overall, I am very happy as this system chews through everything I throw at it and is a gaming beast. This is a GREAT MATX MOBO by ASUS!!! Would recommend and purchase again. On the other note, I also have the z370I and currently use that as my test bench....that board does have the RGB header and USB type C. I am curious as to why this was not included on the Z370-G.

Does not work out of the box.

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2018

Issues I've had with this motherboard:
3) Fresh Windows 10 install is unable to properly detect the networking adapter.
2) ASUS included the software for this motherboard on a disc (rather than a USB stick or memory card that a modern computer in a small form factor might use)
3) Official BIOS from the update page for this specific mother board is unable to be flashed because it is "not a valid bios file." Total nonsense.
4) Official LAN drivers from the update page for this specific motherboard will not install because, "no intel adapters are present on this system." Nevermind
5) Official LAN drivers from the Intel update download page for the networking adapter listed as being present on this motherboard will not install because, "no intel adapters are present on this system." Nevermind that the installer detects the Intel I219-V adapter before attempting the install....

Didn't really bring your A-game with this one, Asus. Product should work out of the box. Official updates should install. BIOS updates should flash.

Works Fine for Me!

I was very nervous upon buying this motherboard as everyone seemed to be 50/50 on it. Some said it was great and others said it was defective or DOA. Well I can say that with my purchase, I have no problems so far with my Asus Rog Z370-G Micro motherboard. It works fine but I also decided not to update the bios. Considering others saying it was prone to failure supposedly, I decided not to risk it. Works as intended, good product!

I like this board a lot

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2018

I like this board a lot. One thing I want to get out there, beware if you're planning on using with EVGA CLC 240 all in one cooler. You'll need to get some washers to install on the back of the board in order to keep the pump bracket in place. Otherwise it won't be secured. This board is very well designed. I wish they'd include antennas to connect to the wireless adapter instead of the shark fin but it's not that big of a deal. Installed the board in a Phanteks 400s case and everything went smoothly. Easy to build and location of pins made wire management easy. Aura sync is nice for LED color control. BIOS has nice intuitive interface.

Sharp design, good feel. Didn't like that my case didn't have all the raised sections to secure the motherboard with, but that's easily solved. As motherboards go, it appears to be working beautifully. My only hangup is where the 8-pin for the CPU is located. IT's in a real heck of a spot for hooking up with your power supply (and a lot og gaming motherboards seem to favor the upper left hand corner for some reason). Still, aside from a frustrated scream or two trying to get the cpu part connected, everything else went great.

Added bonus; the instruction manual that comes with it is very thorough and explains a lot. It's incredibly appreciated.

Aura firmware corruption and audio issues taint an otherwise decent board...

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

Lots of hype, little substance.

Even though Aura has traditionally meant RGB lighting on-board as well as via RGB headers, I was disappointed to find Asus decided not to include an RGB header on the mATX version (Z370-G). Then after only a week of use the firmware in the Aura MCU somehow got corrupted so now the on-board lighting is completely dead with no way to recover.

Second, the on-board audio is a MESS. According to ASUS reps on their forum the Realtek 1220 codec drivers somehow conflict with Nvidia GPUs and cause all kinds of audio pops and crackles. Additionally, the audio output heavily favors the left channel and requires manual adjustment in the mixer to compensate. ASUS blames Realtek on their forums, but if they are aware of the Realtek codec issues why do they continue to use them in their products and advertise as if they have a premium audio implementation?? C'mon ASUS!

Since basically all MSI, Gigabyte, and Asrock Z370 boards perform almost identically, I really see no reason to overlook these issues--especially when paying a premium price for the ASUS brand. The competitors also include USB-C and RGB headers.

I've ordered an MSI Gaming Pro AC and will be returning this back to Amazon for a refund.

Examine Your Product on Arrival

Originally received a DOA motherboard (at least that was my suspicion after troubleshooting all my other parts.) Sent for a return, and got another motherboard. Worked instantly after installing the newer one. I suspect it was the poor packaging (product comes only in cardboard and plastic baggies. Also comes unsealed as well.) Hopefully this motherboard lasts, it has some nice features and is aesthetically appealing.

Great board provided it's not DOA

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

Pros:
6 SATA connections
4 DIMM slots
2 PCI-E x16 slots
Onboard wi-fi
USB 3.1
Premium board in a mATX package

Cons:
UEFI layout isn't as straightforward as MSI
First board arrived DOA, thankfully Amazon replaced it next day delivery. While that's really the only con I've found with it, it's kind of a big deal to me given that it's the second Asus board I've had that arrived defective in the last 3 months (I used a B350 Prime in December that came with bent pins in the USB 3.0 header). I don't know as I'll be ordering any more Asus products given that they're 0/2 in my household. It's a fantastic motherboard provided you get one that works out of the box. Though for the price, you'd expect it to be fantastic AND work.

The little things....are now gone.

Not a bad board. Not sure why they removed the USB-C port from the z270. Most of the other z370 ASUS boards have it. Not a huge fan of the single LED in the bottom right, most other boards have a few lights that highlight the board better. Reports of coil wine, will have to test.

And why on earth is the m.2 perpendicular to the board lol. I guess this is better than on the back being mostly non-assessable, but MEH.
