ASUS can be said to be one of the best diversified companies in the 3C field, not only gaming laptops and wireless router are doing well, graphics cards and motherboards are also very strong, is the world's third largest graphics card manufacturer, motherboard shipments and world share have long ranked first in the world.
ASUS started with motherboards at the beginning, so motherboards have long been a key business, and graphics cards, notebooks are one of the three pillar businesses, although affected by the decline of the global PC market, ASUS 2018 motherboard shipments will be reduced by 2/3 compared with the peak, but it is still the leader of the motherboard market, accounting for 45% of the global share, of which ASUS X299 series motherboards in the Asia-Pacific high-end market share is more than 70%, Z270 series accounts for up to 60% of the share in the gaming field, The leading position is hard to shake.
From the point of view of product line, ASUS does not have many motherboard series, from high to low are ROG MAXIMUS series, TUF series/ROG Strix series and PRIME series, but there are a lot of products, covering all fields of high, medium and low, Intel chipsets account for about 7-8 percent of all products, mostly medium and high-end products above 800 yuan, and there are not many entry-level products below 600 yuan.
ASUS SPLIT THE ORIGINAL ROG SERIES INTO TWO SEPARATE SERIES, ROG MAXIMUS AND ROG STRIX, TWO SEPARATE SERIES, OF WHICH ROG MAXIMUS IS ACTUALLY A TOP-OF-THE-LINE SERIES INTEGRATED BY THE HIGH-END PRODUCTS IN THE ORIGINAL ROG SERIESEXTREME, RAMPAGE, AND CROSSHAIR, WITH A SMALL NUMBER AND A PRICE OF MORE THAN 3000 YUAN; The ROG Strix Raptor series is a combination of the PRO GAMING series and the Gamer series, which are relatively low in the original ROG series, which is lower than the ROG MAXIMUS series, which can be understood as the ROG series with the "Eye of the Loser" logo but slightly cheaper, and the price is at the 2000 yuan level.
ROG ZENITH EXTREME can be described as ASUS's current strongest AMD platform flagship, using X399 extreme chipset, the materials are very powerful, overclocking is also quite convenient, with gorgeous AURA lighting effects, SupermeFX sound effects and 10 Gigabit network cards, as well as innovative multi-functional LiveDash OLED system dashboard, the name of the strongest X399 motherboard is none other than it, the only obstacle to purchase is probably the price of up to 6000 yuan, suitable for top game enthusiasts.
On the other hand, the flagship of the Intel platform, ROG RAMPAGE VI EXTREME (R6E), in addition to the differences in supported platforms, the overall design of the two is very similar, and the same features can be found on almost all two motherboards, such as LiveDash OLED, a rich variety of function buttons, DIMM.2 expansion slots, and cool AURA lighting effects, 2018 and ROG MAXIMUS X FORMULA, ROG STRIX X370-I GAMING WON 16 RED DOT DESIGN AWARDS, SETTING A NEW RECORD FOR THE NUMBER OF AWARDS WON BY A COMPANY IN A SINGLE RED DOT DESIGN AWARD, BUT THE PRICE OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF YUAN IS MORE EXAGGERATED THAN THAT OF ZENITH EXTREME.
If you don't need a top-of-the-line platform, you can choose the ROG Strix Z370-I Gaming or ROG Strix X470-I, both of which are available for Intel and AMD platforms, respectively, and both are ITX versions, which Techradar calls the best Intel and AMD Mini-ITX motherboards, although there are only 2 memory slots, but it is enough for most people, suitable for users who use mini consoles but want some overclocking performance.
The TUF special forces series focuses on extreme stability, the materials and design are built for stability, most of them have heavy armor, and it is the only motherboard series in the industry with a 5-year warranty, TUF is positioned at the same level as ROG in various ASUS series, and it is also the most advanced positioning, but most of the products on sale use mid-range B360 chipsets, so most of the products in this series are priced lower than the ROG series.
PRIME master series is ASUS's entry product series,H310/B360Chipset products are the majority,The price is mostly below 700 yuan,From the naming point of view, it is mainly a single word suffix product,The higher the letter, the more advanced the model,Such asZ370-A>Z370-B。
TUF Special Forces series and PRIME Master series do not have overclocking function, which is more suitable for ordinary users, and the specific choice is TUF B360M-PLUS GAMING or PRIME B360M-A, both of which are the same in terms of memory and graphics card slots, but TUF B360M-PLUS GAMING is positioned higher, and is better than B360M-A in terms of network card, power supply design and warranty period, the important thing is that the current price of both is the same, so TUF B360M-PLUS GAMING IS UNDOUBTEDLY MORE WORTH BUYING.
