Conclusion and Verdict
SuperO C9Z390-CG-IW is a tiny but powerful motherboard. Since the previous version, it was slightly improved but even the motherboard based on the Z370 chipset was already good. There is still something that could be improved but in general, it’s a successful product which should satisfy most users, especially these more advanced who are looking for a motherboard with a lot of settings to tweak. The C9Z390-CG-IW has two BIOS modes from which EZ-Mode is dedicated for all who are searching for a plug and play type of motherboard, and the advanced mode where I could say that we can find even too many settings.
The motherboard is fully stable and offers various features like RGB lighting or unique management software.
The motherboard is available on Amazon for about $270. It’s more or less as much as competitive motherboards in mini ITX format cost.
Pros:
- High performance
- Top quality
- Two M.2 PCIe sockets
- High overclocking potential for an ITX motherboard
- WiFi+Bluetooth
- High compatibility with memory modules
Cons:
- Chipset heatsink could be used for M.2 SSD cooling
Final words:
SuperO C9Z390-CG-IW is clearly worth recommendation. The motherboard offers a lot of features, high stability and high overclocking potential closed in a small package. Everyone who is thinking about a small, yet powerful PC should take a look at the C9Z390-CG-IW.
