ASRockova je Fatal1ty serija poznata po zanimljivom dizajnu, višim standardom komponenata i kvalitete izrade, te bogatoj opremi. Nerijetko tu pridodajemo i dobra overclocking svojstva, no u slučaju H370 čipseta to nije moguće. Stoga ćemo se u recenziji ove ploče osvrnuti na značajke iz prve rečenice ovoga uvoda. H370 Performance ploča između ostalog donosi kvalitetnu audio jedinicu, bogatu RGB LED rasvjetu, 10 Gigabitne USB Type A i Type C portove, dva M.2 socketa za SSD-e, socket i pripremu za M.2 WiFi karticu i deset faznu napojnu jedinicu s kvalitetnim komponentama.
Fatal1ty H370 Performance – prvi dio
Prije otprilike mjesec dana smo testirali malenu ASRock H370M-ITX/ac ploču, a sada je na red došla velika Fatal1ty H370 Performance koja spada u high-end H370 ploče. Namijenjena je korisnicima koji ne žele overclockirati i koji nisu u potrazi za K procesorom, ali svejedno žele dobro napravljenu i bogato opremljenu ploču. Da je ova ploča u tom rangu već možemo zaključiti i po pakiranju koje je vertikalno orijentirano, a unutar se mekog vanjskog kartonskog omotača krije tvrda kartonska kutija s nosačem na vrhu, koja odlično štiti svoj sadržaj.
Ploča se u kutiji nalazi ispod još jedne kartonske pregrade i to u poznatom ASRockovom pakiranju. Leži u stiropjeni privezana plastičnim vezicama i umotana u antistatičku vrećicu. Bundle se sastoji od vodiča za brzu instalaciju, CD-a s aplikacijama i upravljačkim programima, zaštite za stražnje I/O portove, dva SATA kabela i tri seta vijaka za M.2. Nije naročito high-end bundle, no što je tu je.
Ploča izgleda vrlo decentno, nije nakićena i nije šarenih boja. Dva su tona, crni i sivi, s tek malo žutih detalja na audio kondenzatorima. Crni PCB je malo prošaran sivim linijama, a sivih elemenata ima i na aluminijskim hladnjacima te na plastičnom pokrovu stražnjih I/O portova i audio jedinice. Ploča ima tzv. Gaming Armor koji uključuje high-density napojne konektora (24 i 8-pinske), 15 mikrona pozlate na DIMM i VGA (PCIE2) konektorima, XXL aluminijske hladnjake i Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 5 softver.
Layout ploče je generalno vrlo dobar, sve je logično posloženo. Svi bitni konektori su uz rub ploče, a M.2 socketi za SSD-e su iznad i debelo ispod grafičke kartice. Kao i uvijek kod ovakvih ploča, hladnjak na VRM-u je masivan i onda je na njega djelomično smještena i plastika pokrova, pa će vanjski ventilatori kod većih CPU hladnjaka stršati iznad tijela. Hladnjaci inače svoj posao odrađuju odlično i samo se onaj na MOSFET-ima malo više grije pri dugotrajnom opterećenju, dok su gornji i onaj na čipsetu mlaki cijelo vrijeme.
