In the System and Gaming Benchmarks sections, we reveal the results from a number of benchmarks run with the Core i7-8700K and Z370N WIFI at default settings, with XMP enabled, with the highest automatic overclock, and and using own our manual overclock. This...
Auto & Manual Overclocking Results
Auto & Manual Overclocking Results
It wouldn't be an HWC review if we didn't include some overclocking results, so we thoroughly tested this motherboard's capabilities, especially its auto-overclocking functionality. There won't be any ground breaking insights...
Feature Testing: M.2 PCI-E 3.0 x4
Feature Testing: M.2 PCI-E 3.0 x4
One of the big advancements of the previous two LGA1151 platforms was the fact that they brought the M.2 slot to the mainstream. Not only did they make this modern storage connector available at a more reasonable price, but it...
Feature Testing: Onboard Audio
Feature Testing: Onboard Audio
Since fewer and fewer consumers seem to be buying discrete sound cards, the quality of a motherboard's onboard audio is now more important than ever. As such, we figured that it was worthwhile to take a closer look at just how good...
Feature Testing: RGB Fusion
Feature Testing: RGB Fusion
Given its petite size, the Z370N WIFI obviously doesn't have most exciting lighting implementation. In fact, there are only four small RGB LEDs on this motherboard, all placed on the under side in the bottom left corner. As you will see...
Test Setups & Methodology
Test Setups & Methodology
For this review, we are going to be testing the performance of the Z370N WIFI in four configurations: default settings @ DDR4-2666, default settings @ DDR4-3866, with the highest automatic overclock, and lastly with our manual overclock. The...
