ASUS has been “cashing in” on the Republic of Gamers branding at the lower end since Z270 so the theme with the packaging is unchanged for the ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming. For those that can recall ASUS was very adamant about not associating its lower-end product stack with ROG, instead opting for the “Pro Gaming” branding. Now the ROG branding, when tied to STRIX, starts at the lowest price point it ever has done for the ASUS motherboard portfolio.
Highlight features on the packaging include AURA RGB lighting, the M.2 heatsink and front panel USB 3.1 header.
The accessory and documentation bundle is as follows:
- ASUS ROG Door Card
- User's manual
- Cablemod voucher code
- ROG Cable Labels
- ROG Stickers
- Driver and Utility DVD
- WiFi antennae with stand
- Rear I/O shield
- ROG SLI HB Bridge 2-Way M
- 4 x SATA cables
- Cable zip ties
- 1 x RGB extension cables
- 1 x BRG to GRB adapter cable
- CPU installation tool
- Temperature probe sensor cable
- ASUS CPU Fan holder bracket
- Selection of screws for M2 mounting and 3D Printing accessory mounting
Most likely my next MoBo. Great Review.
