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.

The Onboard Device menu allows the user to enable or disable the LAN interface (but also enable/disable the LAN Option ROM):

The Boot Menu allows the user to select the boot sequence, along with some other options:

The Security menu allows us to specify Admin/User passwords, but also adjust Secure Boot properties:

The O.N.E. area is available for system performance tuning; the voltages can be adjusted with increments, while the CPU Ratio can be easily set:

Since the board does also come with an Agesa 1.0.0.6 BIOS, we will see the whole set of timings available for adjustment:

Information regarding the installed RAM can be checked out inside the Memory Insight menu:

RGB LED options can be also adjusted from inside the UEFI interface, via the Vivid LED Control menu:

Finally, we’ve got the Save & Exit menu, that allows the user to save, discard, load factory defaults or save the settings to specific slots:
