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.

Memory Bandwidth Difference

The GEIL PC4 25600 3200MHz CL16 8GBx2 Samsung B-die kit we have used did operate correctly even at 3200MHz, thanks to the AGESA improvements.

With the help of the AIDA64 utility, we have been able to check out the memory bandwidth differences at 2133MHz, 2400MHz, 2666MHz, 2933MHz but also 3200MHz.
