The distinctive sleek cuts across the ROG Strix heatsink are now accented with a futuristic cyber-text pattern, fusing multiple gaming cultures to create a unique identity for this generation.

ProClockers would like to thank ASUS for sending the ROG STRIX B360-F Gaming over to check out!ĪSUS’s take on the ROG STRIX B360-F Gaming: ASUS is betting that they can still provide a premium experience known to the Strix family without the cost of all the stuff most people don’t actually use anyway, are they right?

B360 doesn’t support overclocking, CPU or memory, but, and hardware enthusiasts might need to stop reading here, not that many people actually do this.

Intel’s B360 platform is much more affordable than the Z370 flagship, but what are you compromising on for that smaller price tag? Actually, for most users, not much.
