ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E Gaming Motherboard Review

M.2 PCIe Performance

We test M.2 PCIe performance using an Aorus PCIe Gen 4 2TB SSD. This SSD uses a Phison-based PCIe Gen 4 controller.

M.2 performance is right where we’d expect it with our blazing fast Aorus PCIe Gen 4 SSD hitting almost 5GBps on sequential reads.

Cooling performance from ASUS’ metal heatsink is good enough, with our logs showing a peak drive temperature of 60°C for our relatively light speed tests.

USB Performance

We test USB 3.2 performance using a PCIe NVMe SSD connected to a Sabrent USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) Type-C M.2 enclosure.

Read and write speeds in the 900MBps range are exactly what we should be seeing from ASUS’ USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps ports.

SATA 6Gbps Performance

For SATA 6Gbps testing we use a Crucial MX300 750GB SSD.

SATA 6Gbps performance is also exactly where we'd expect for our Crucial SSD.

Audio

Rightmark Audio Analyser is a freeware benchmarking utility designed to objectively test the performance characteristics of audio solutions. We setup a line-in line-out loop and execute the record/playback test before generating the results report you see below. A sampling mode of 24-bit, 192 kHz was tested.

Rightmark Audio Analyzer rates the ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E Gaming motherboard's SupremeFX audio system as Very Good overall.
