INNOVATION
& AUDIO
M.2 Audio Combo
ROG Strix X370-I Gaming features an innovative riser card to help alleviate the constraints imposed by the mini-ITX form factor. The M.2 Audio Combo Card frees up prized real estate by raising M.2 drives and SupremeFX audio circuitry above the mainboard to minimize lateral signal interference. And it's neatly covered by a stylish heatsink that's capable of keeping the latest high-performance SDDs cool.
SupremeFX
Shielded audio, superior sound
ROG Strix SupremeFX audio has levelled up, delivering an exceptional 113dB signal-to-noise ratio on the line-in connection, and 120dB on the line-out for crystal-clear recording and playback. We've also added a low-dropout regulator for cleaner power delivery to the SupremeFX S1220A codec, plus Texas Instruments® RC4580 and OPA1688 op-amps for high gain with low distortion. It all adds up to audio that envelops you as never before.

Dual Op Amplifiers
One op amp adds voltage gain while the other works as a buffer. Together, they're capable of driving 32-600Ω headphones effortlessly.
LED-Illuminated Audio Jacks
Backlit audio jacks save you from fumbling around in the dark.
Premium Nichicon™ Audio Capacitors
High-quality Japanese-made components that produce a warmer, natural sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.
Sonic Studio III
Sonic Studio now supports HRTF-based (head-related transfer function*) virtual surround for VR headsets, casting an immersive aural landscape that draws you deeper into the action. The intuitive Sonic Studio interface also offers a range of EQ options, allowing you to tailor acoustics to suit personal preferences or the characteristics of your headset.

SURROUND SOUND
Surround sound for a truly immersive audio experience

SONIC STUDIO LINK
New Sonic Studio Link VR functionality extends its HRTF effects to headsets like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
*A head-related transfer function is an audio algorithm derived from sound data recorded through a dummy head. Test tones are played from a spherical grid around the dummy head to obtain subtle changes in sounds that come from different directions. The results are combined into an algorithm that allows Sonic Studio's virtual surround to process sound true to life.
**Please note Sonic Studio Link is available only in version 3.6 and later.
Connectivity & Networking
DUAL NVM EXPRESS PCIE M.2
LET YOUR SSD SCREAM AT SPEEDS OF UP TO 32GBPS
With x4 PCI Express® 3.0/2.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 32Gbps* data-transfer speeds. It is the perfect choice for an operating system or application drive, making your whole gaming PC or professional apps work as fast as possible.
* AMD Ryzen™ processor required for full PCIe 3.0 bandwidth.
USB 3.1 GEN2 TYPE-A
ULTIMATE-SPEED 10Gbps WITH ONBOARD USB 3.1
With two USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-A ports, you'll experience data-transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps – twice as fast as USB 3.1 Gen1. USB 3.1 Gen2 is also completely backward-compatible with existing USB devices – so you'll be set for breakneck USB 3.1 Gen2 speeds with every connection.
INTEL GIGABIT ETHERNET
MORE THROUGHPUT AND LESS PROCESSING EQUALS FASTER ONLINE PLAY

Lighting
AURA LIGHTING CONTROL
With ROG Strix X370-I Gaming we've upgraded our Aura Sync RGB lighting so that you can tastefully accent your build with a range of colors and effects. An array of RGB LEDs is embedded into the M.2 heatsink, so the ROG logo now glows by your command. And for off-board illumination, there are headers for 5050 RGB strips and addressable RGB gear, allowing Aura to radiate throughout an entire chassis. Fire up all your Aura Sync devices and see them perform in perfect harmony!
