Yes. I can confirm that works, I have my 2 exhaust fans on a splitter working under pwm correctly from the aio_pump header. Can't fault this motherboard yet. Bios update was needed though to get the ram at 3200mhz, but no issues there now.

Hi, The AIO-PUMP header is listed as pwm controllable on the website, and in the pin diagram in the manual it says aio pwm, as I'm not using an aio can this header be used to pwm control another case fan. My instinct says yes, but it may need checking in bios or fan software, is that correct? Thx

I have one already while I finish off collecting parts. I've got an r3 1200 I bought for it but just wondering, as it was released quite late if it may have supprtrd the 2xxx series already with a later bios, to save me opening the 1200. Might just pick up a cheaper 1600 or 1700. Didn't think...

Has anyone else tried a new ryzen CPU yet on this board? Will it need a BIOS update? Also has anyone got 2 nvme's running, any issues with the pcie 2x4 of slot 2?

UK and Europe will probably have higher stock prices than waiting for a US retailer. The place I bought mine from in UK is selling at £155 for the B350i which is about $207 and that's without shipping.

I'd not read about bclk on these boards, but the only difference I've seen is that thev X370i has the ESD static protection that the 350 doesn't.

Definitely out in Europe I have mine now.

I already have a 960 evo but had planned a m.2 sata for the other slot, glad I didn't buy it before the board. I'll look for a slower nvme for the back.

Typical, so to utilise an nvme in pcie 3 and use both slots you'd need a second nvme. Think there's still a few pcie 2 nvme sticks on the market, right?

Finally ordered mine today. Under £150 at CCL.

Overclockers UK have both in stock.

If you search Google for PCH temps then a few Asus Rog threads to come up, and temps range between 30-60deg. I wouldn't worry about that. Anyway isn't it a given that most ITX components run warmer than ATX boards due to their size and the small cases we put them in. I'll take a warm PCH over...

CCL listed them both as in stock yesterday, but they lasted 30mins then out of stock. I got an email but by the time I got a chance to buy they'd gone. They had the B350i at £154.17.

M.2 on sata isn't that bad. I have a 960evo nvme waiting for this board but will get a second sata m.2 as it saves space and removes the need for a sata cable. Some sata m.2 are cheaper than their standard sata ssd.

Good to see the detailed discussion on the vrm heat. Not worried by this board. Still think I'll stick to a top down air cooler, as I'll only be overclocking a 1200 for now until Zen 2 anyway.
