Not every yr nosotros expect at construct novel motherboards. Heck, that's non every 10 years. In an enthusiastic PC world, for sure things are relatively easy, spell others nowadays a greater challenge. Spank the label on CLC Asetek? Relatively easy. Hire designers to move amongst established production facilities to construct variations of existing cases expect slightly unlike from others? Not besides difficult. Getting that facility to arrive at an alone novel representative pattern that mightiness involve novel tooling? H5N1 combat challenging
But generate an alone novel motherboard from construct clean sheet? Only the most experienced motherboard brands volition exercise it. Until now?
Labeled has been designed inward California as well as manufactured inward China, N7-Z37XT is the showtime NZXT foray into the motherboard market. We are non given details nigh how much command ODM provides nigh its circuit design, although it is probable that NZXT is at to the lowest degree responsible for determining which connecter to role as well as where to house it.
Designed to back upwards the Grid + (fan) as well as Hue + (lighting) controls NZXT, N7-Z37XT is available amongst either W1-white or -B1 dark shroud.

Conspicuously absent from the N7-Z37XT specification canvas is whatever genuine USB 3.1 Gen2 controller, inward the fan marketplace position where almost every traditional construct has only upgraded the latest PCIe 3.0 x2 version. Some boards inward the cost degree fifty-fifty bring ii of them, the minute is dedicated to the newly introduced forepart panel header. We only exam i representative amongst newer Gen2 connectors, but it volition live interesting to encounter if NZXT introduces that is non supported yesteryear this board.
Boards inward the N7-Z37XT cost degree ordinarily bring dual gigabit Ethernet every bit well, as well as the absence of those extra features makes a striking departure on the I / O panel. On the other hand, about of the absentee features bring enabled NZXT to avoid sharing of resources, which is something fifty-fifty tin forcefulness out non live done yesteryear its competitors. All features of N7-Z37XT tin forcefulness out live used simultaneously.
Intel Z370 PCH is yet express to thirty HSIO resources, as well as NZXT employs 29 of them every bit ii NVMe M.2 slots, ii additional PCIe x4 slots, PCIe x1 slots, 8 USB 3.0 ports, as well as 4 SATA ports. NZXT fills multiple I / O panels amongst USB 2.0, which does non require HSIO resources. We also found quite a lot of analog good ports to back upwards 7.1 surround, Line In as well as Line Out together, along amongst due south / PDIF optical output, HDMI, DisplayPort, as well as CLR_CMOS keys.
While it's possible to configure upwards to 4 NVMe drives using a combination of four-lane PCIe x4 path slots as well as 2 x4 PCI slots, the chipset link to the CPU is yet express to the four-track DMI of Intel. And spell at that topographic point is no HSIO sectionalization that volition disable the slot or device, a split upwards PCIe x16-lane CPU controller volition yet serve ii x16-sized slots inward x16 / x0 or x8 / x8 mode, using the minute card's automatic detection. to construct that transition. No magic tricks or latency boost centers; only a well-designed pattern to construct amount role of existing resources.
Available inward blue, red, purple, white, as well as black, the hot launder hide is made of the same painted steel amongst the larger motherboard shroud. Removing the upper cooling hide also facilitates access to connectors along the transcend edge.
Removing the ii plastic covers shows ii M.2 slots as well as a Port lxxx diagnostic code screen. H5N1 3rd plastic slice of a similar trend does non include imports, as well as possibilities are added according to the comprehend styles M.2. The primary USB 3.0 connecter as well as 4 SATA ports tin forcefulness out also live viewed from this angle.
The lower border has an HD-Audio header forepart panel, ability as well as reset buttons, 3 USB 2.0 headers, a minute USB 3.0 header, 4 fan headers, an AC-97-style forepart panel push clit as well as a LED group, BIOS switch selector switch, when deployed, re-create the active firmware ROM through the inactive ROM.
The transcend of the N7-Z37XT has v fan headers as well as an RGB LED connector. The minute RGB LED connecter is visible inward the rectangular shaft hole nigh the transcend of the forepart edge.
While a dark plastic I / O hood is screwed, the motherboard hide is painted securely amongst metallic locks. Underneath was a traditional looking board amongst a matte dark mask.
The N7-Z37XT mounting kit includes 4 SATA cables, ii RGB magnetic / adhesive strips, ii RGB adapter cables, ii RGB extension cables, one-link SLI bridge, I / O shield as well as unobtrusive threaded hardware.
