What it is
Our main score for this model, 1–10. It combines specs, expert reviews, best-of lists, owners and ratings from across the web.
How we count it
Parts: Technical score 40%, Reviews score 20%, List score 20%, Sentiment score 10%, User score 10%
Marks: Each part gets a mark out of 10. For reviews, lists and owners, a typical model in this category gets about 8 and the best one gets 10.
No data yet: A part with no data shows "?". It counts as the mark of a weaker model in this category (4 in 5 models with data score higher). This way, models with reviews, lists and owners usually come out ahead.

What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.8 for now.

Verdict

The Gigabyte H370N WIFI is a compact Mini-ITX motherboard designed for 8th and 9th Generation Intel Core processors using the LGA 1151 socket and Intel H370 chipset. Key technical specifications include support for up to 32GB of dual-channel DDR4 memory (2666MHz), dual M.2 PCIe Gen3 x4 slots (one on the back), and dual Intel Gigabit LAN. It offers versatile connectivity with built-in Intel 802.11ac Wave2 Wi-Fi (up to 1.73Gbps), Bluetooth 5, and triple video outputs consisting of dual HDMI (including one HDMI 2.0a for 4K/60Hz) and a DisplayPort. Main pros include its high-end Realtek ALC1220-VB audio codec, dual BIOS redundancy, and the inclusion of multiple 'dual' features rarely seen on Mini-ITX boards like dual NICs and dual M.2 slots. However, notable cons include the lack of true USB 3.1 Gen2 (10Gbps) support, only four USB Type-A ports on the rear I/O, and the front M.2 slot's placement directly over the chipset heatsink, which can lead to higher drive temperatures.
