On our test bench today is a specialized motherboard from the guys at ASUS Republic of Gamers, and oh boy, what a motherboard it is. I?m talking about the ROG Maximus X Apex Z370 motherboard which is built on the E-ATX form factor and brings another type of avenue to conventional gaming themed boards for Intel's Coffee Lake 8th generation processors. I am of course talking about overclocking and performance. Also on the test bench is the Intel Core i3-8350K quad-core processor which notes a jump in the desktop CPU segment from 2 to 4 physical cores in the Core i3 models and an extra 2 cores on the Core i7 range. Is the i3-8350K a force to be reckoned with in gaming compared to other models in our graphs? Let's take a look at the specifications of both.
