The Asus ROG STRIX Z370-I is a compact, ITX form factor motherboard for 8th-generation Core series processors. Despite its small size, it packs a lot of features and connectivity. Inside, it offers two full-size memory slots, SATA and M.2 for a variety of drives, and a PCI-Express x16 slot that can be used in cases with enough room for an expansion card. Externally, the board provides a wide range of connections: analog and digital audio, WiFi, Bluetooth, gigabit Ethernet, four USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, and two USB 3.1 ports (including one Type C). There are also two video outputs, HDMI and DisplayPort, thanks to the Intel graphics built into the CPU.
William George (Marketing Project Manager) Says:
This board packs a lot of features into a small size - and fairly small price tag, too. That is important for compact systems, since there is very little room to expand or add features beyond what the motherboard includes. The single PCI-Express slot is usually for a dedicated video card, at least when the chassis it is installed in is big enough, but could also be used for other devices if needed.
