Do you understand how NZXT motherboards use shielding to safeguard their tiny parts? Could an ASUS board under $300 offer a similar protective feature?

Reviewing their full lineup reveals that only the ROG Maximus boards feature a complete shield. The most affordable is the Hero model priced at $600. The ROG Strix F and A boards offer partial shields, with the lower-priced option at $350. None of their H or B series boards provide this level of shielding, except for the Strix B660-I, a mini-ITX version of the B660 board, which costs $220.

There are several motherboards with shields other than ASUS, such as MSI, Gigabyte, and Acer models.

It varies based on your shielding preferences. The Asus models closely match the NZXT designs. Other options offer a comparable look but distinct styles. Below are budget-friendly picks under $300 with solid shielding: MSI Z690 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 at $295, Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Elite AX DDR4 at $270, and Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X DDR4 at $230, plus the Aero G at $290.
