What customers say about "Key Specs"

ASUS PRIME X370-PRO ATX Motherboard

Great board, good quality and no problems with compatibility. Highly recommend.
It's good that it is compatible with many processors.
An excellent list of supported processors.
Works perfectly with AMD processors. Overclocked is very easy.
Terrible motherboard, compatibility is poor!

Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming 5

You can set the Gen 3, Gen 2 and Gen 1 in motherboard bios and this gives makes the motherboard very flexible and easy to troubleshoot compatibility issues.
I noticed that the maximum clock speed measured on my cpu was 4100mhz - 100mhz over the turbo clock of the 1800x, even though I never overclocked the CPU.
The board has good power usage and I was able to overclock my ryzen 1600 with ease with low voltage.
This board bricked itself and possibly fried a CPU.
Working fine for over a month and then without any warning CPU fault light on reboot.

What customers say about "Memory"

ASUS PRIME X370-PRO ATX Motherboard

RAM is running at 3200 no overclock on the CPU.
I have a stable 4ghz overclock on both machines with ryzen 1600 and memory speed is amazing.
Has excellent memory speed. Everything works as described.
Works great with 64GB of memory.
16GB of Corsair LPX 3200 that I can only get stable at 2933.

Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming 5

The motherboard will run Corsair Vengence LPX 16GB Kit DDR 3000 and post with the XMP profile - so support for the less expensive Micron memory is good up to 2933 speed - not all motherboards will post with 8GB modules at that speed.
Memory QVL is magnificent. Running a 2600X with 3466CL16 @1.35 Volts.
This board runs my 16GB DDR4 Crucial Ballistix memory at 3200Mhz speed with a flick of a switch (enabling XMP in the BIOS) without any trouble at all.
Turning to Samsung memory and DDR 3200 Class 14 16GB dual 8GB modules, the current F5A bios is pretty buggy and generates a Triple Beep Error, before posting successfully with every change of hardware and reset reboot.
Supported memory list is incorrect. It did not work with Corsair or Team 30000mhz memory as stated best it would run at was 23000.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

ASUS PRIME X370-PRO ATX Motherboard

Excellent motherboard. Lots of connectivity.
The board has a good layout, decent sound.
Great mobo was pretty easy to setup. Plenty of SATA ports, 2 PCI express slots.
Board have many ports and connectors that works fine without any issues. Highly recommend.
An excellent motherboard with a large number of USB ports.

Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming 5

You have full control over the PCI-E system on this motherboard, all of the slots are routed to CPU.
The motherboard can support 5 GPUs via USB 3 riser kits. Decent i think.
I have 2x bluray drives, 1x nvme ssd, 1x 2.5 ssd, 3x 3.5 SSHD and i still have 2x sata and 2x sata express ports spare.
Only bad point so far is the placement of the m.2 port as its way to close to the main pci-e port.
The GPU on primary PCI-Express slot needs to be a lesser GPU.

What customers say about "Features"

ASUS PRIME X370-PRO ATX Motherboard

Best feature filled board for the price.
Onboard audio is very decent on this board.
It's very stable and has great features.
An excellent motherboard that has great features. Highly recommend.
There is is no quick-CMOS clear button on this board.

Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming 5

Fan controls via the bios work perfectly. And, the RED LEDs are very pleasing on the eye, without being overly bright for people installing in a Windowed PC case.
The onboard sound chip can run 2 seperate inputs at the same time (i use my rear for main 7.1 speakers and the frount ports for dedicated headset/mic combo) is that good i dumped my sound blaster Z pci-e card as it just wasnt nessary any more.
This has been the best motherboard ive owned in years, the rgb is great and has so meny options, lots of fan headers and loads of sata ports.
I also bought an Aorus GTX 1080ti Xtreme edition, which is another Gigabyte product that claims to support RGB Fusion, but over the course of six months I have never succeeded in getting the RGB on this motherboard to sync with my 1080ti.
When I first got this motherboard and plugged in the 1800x, I didn't realise the BIOS was a much older version than the current one Gigabyte had released for this board.
