ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming Review

Over the past 10 years, I have looked at a lot of ASUS and ROG branded motherboards including the Striker II and Blitz motherboards from 2008 up to this motherboard the ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming.

Enthusiasts prefer soldered IHS for their superior heat-transfer characteristics. It was known since the series launch that STIM will be restricted to the unlocked "K" SKUs, such as the i9-9900K and i7-9700K, while locked SKUs would retain thermal pastes. PC enthusiast @momomo_us (Twitter handle) de-lidded a Core i5-9400F sample to confirm this.
