BIOSTAR RACING X370GTN AM4 Motherboard Review

Motherboards/AMD AM4 by stefan @ 2017-08-19

With the X370GTN, BIOSTAR has succeeded to offer plenty of goodies, in a compact ITX format; due to a smaller VRM, the manufacturer does recommend CPUs with a maximum TDP of 95W, but if we do use it with a 65W SKU, we do also have some overclocking headroom. In our tests with the Ryzen 3 1300X, we have succeeded to achieve the same results as with the high-end Crosshair Hero VI from ASUS, by just setting up the multiplier and the voltage inside the UEFI interface, which is really easy to use.

Overclocking Stage

Overclocking with the RACING X370GTN board is considerably easier than the process we have found with the X370GT7; we only needed to adjust the multiplier to the desired value, set the voltage with the supplied increments and that is about it! Considering the smaller VRM, we were surprised to see that the board could keep up with the ASUS C6H while having the Ryzen 1300X CPU running at 4GHz.

 

Here are the details during the 4GHz @ 1.372V system run:
