Almost of budget AsRock matherboards have an Intel NIC.

The ASRock Z370 Extreme 4 has issues with XMP. on their forums : http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6860&PN=1&title=z370-extreme4-xmp-bug
People are having real issues and its been 3 mos later and it doesn't seem to be fixed yet. I also saw the same feedback on Amazon under the 1 stars, so this sent up all kinds of red flags for me and I won't be purchasing the Extreme 4 as a result

I was checking out the site and came across the Z370 Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 review and the so called (editors) said that they didn't like the VRM design when in fact that Motherboard has one of the best VRM's that money can buy. I think they got that board mixed up with one of the lower end models like the Gigabyte Ultra Gaming. I have the Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 with a i7 8700K OC'ed to 5GHz at 1.250v. with a old school ZALMAN cnps 9900MAX 300watt cpu cooler and 60°c at full load with the VRM also at 60°c. So to say this board has a VRM that the editors don't like is subjective. I think the VRM is great cause of the results I got. The board uses the same components that are on the new eVGA Z390 DARK and the X299 DARK. How could you not like the VRM. The price I got the board for was $150.00 and the 8700K for $280.00. I couldn't pass that deal up the board expensive when it released but now can be bought for much cheaper. I'm surprised it didn't even make the list on best Z370 boards.
