The new Intel\u00a08th<\/sup> Generation Core\u2122 processors are the best desktop CPUs for gaming on the market.<\/p>\n

With up to six cores and 12 threads, these Coffee Lake chips also have huge potential for enthusiasts and power users who do more with their PCs.<\/p>\n

Their exceptional performance, unmatched versatility, and considerable overclocking potential are a natural fit for Republic of Gamers (ROG), so we\u2019ve developed a diverse collection of Z370 gaming motherboards for a range of priorities and budgets.<\/p>\n

Our latest lineup<\/a> reinforces ROG\u2019s role as both a breeding ground for innovative features and a proving ground where we test the absolute limits of performance.<\/p>\n

It includes standouts like the Maximus X Apex, a hardcore gaming and overclocking board designed to break performance records; the Maximus X Hero, which blends leading performance with premium extras; the Maximus X Code that redefines the performance essentials for gamers and enthusiasts and the Maximus X Formula, which is brimming with cutting-edge features fit for showcase PCs.<\/p>\n

While the Maximus series covers the higher end of the spectrum, the ROG Strix family opens the Republic of Gamers to a wider audience.<\/p>\n

It provides everything you need in a gaming motherboard but excludes some of our more indulgent extras to hit affordable price points. Full-sized ATX options include closely matched contenders for the sweet spot, the ROG Strix Z370-E and ROG Strix Z370-F Gaming, and an unexpected retro revival, the ROG Strix Z370-H Gaming.<\/p>\n

Smaller form factors are served by the mATX ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming and Mini-ITX ROG Strix Z370-I Gaming.<\/p>\n

Setting the benchmark for records<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lots of motherboard makers claim the best performance, but we\u2019ve got the results to prove it. Much of the credit goes to the Apex, an overclocking savant purpose-built for taking new CPUs to the ragged edge at sub-zero temperatures.<\/p>\n

Apex boards were introduced earlier this year with the Maximus IX series, and they\u2019ve already claimed multiple world records and top scores with Intel\u2019s Z270 and X299 platforms.<\/p>\n

Now, our internal overclocking team has continued that streak with the new Maximus X Apex, setting the highest 8th<\/sup> Generation Core i7-8700K frequency record by reaching 7.3GHz on all 6-cores and 12-threads.<\/p>\n

In addition, the highest DDR4 memory frequency record with a top speed of 5529.2MHz.<\/p>\n
