God help Biostar's marketing team. Holy crap.

All of them have been outfitted with what Biostar calls the 5050 LED Fun Zone

At least the color will go well with Corsair parts.

5050 LED Fun Zone.. giggidy!

I'll take an "LED Fun Zone" over an "Aura Sync" or "RGB Fusion" and day of the week!

Am I correct in reading that the AMD board doesn't support anything higher than 2400 MHz ram? I know I can always under clock what I have, but c'mon...

That's just been an issue with Ryzen, dual rank, double channel is limited to 240.

I'm running 2933 on my Asus Prime X370-Pro, hopefully 3200 when a future update makes it stable.
The issue is dual-rank and double-sided, which is almost all 16GB DIMMs. Just look at the qualified vendor list for ones that are tested to work at their rated speeds.

BTW, it's not MHz for the DDR ratings, but MT/s or MegaTransfers per second. The clock speed is still half the DDR4-xxxx rating, so DDR4-3200 runs at 1600MHz.

LED FunZone aside, I'm pretty grumpy to hear about new ITX boards that aren't AM4 right now. It's like a tease.

I like how many USB ports these boards have, though.

 

[CC Ricers]

They don't appear to have Wi-Fi

They have m.2 storage covered, at least.

And I'm assuming that with no wifi card that also means no Bluetooth. Very dissapointing if I want to pair controllers and other peripherals.
