Introduction
With ASUS’s ROG Strix line of products being quite popular with gamers, and AMD’s Ryzen CPU’s also gaining back quite a bit of Intel’s market share in a short time period, coupled with the demand for smaller and more efficient systems, it’s a no-brainer that ASUS would launch the updated ROG Strix X470-I Gaming. Following hot on the heels of its X370-I Gaming, the X470-I gaming gives it a 2nd generation update under the hood while retaining a well thought out layout jam-packed with features. Today we’ll see just what changes have been made to the Ryzen 2nd generation platform.
