Motherboard Incoming AM4 Mini-ITX boards

[NATi]

Personally, would have gone with biostar earlier, but it was allways out of stock.. now waiting for others.

Really the X370GTN isn't a bad board. It's just that Biostar has acquired a reputation for only making low-end budget boards and, while it's debatable if it even matters, things like only having a 4-pin CPU power connector kinda reinforces that idea.

I actually like the board, but it doesn't have AC. I trust the Asrock board will be just as good and not much more expensive while giving AC.

Do you mean 802.11ac?

yes
I got used to how people on reddit shorten the whole thing.

Can someone make a list of all the upcoming Ryzen ITX Boards please? First Post maybe @MarcParis ?

 

[jeshikat]

• ASRock X370 Gaming-ITX/ac
• ASRock AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac
• BIOSTAR X370GTN
• BIOSTAR B350GTN
• GIGABYTE GA-AB350N-Gaming WIFI

Might we expect to see any AM4 ITX offerings from Asus or MSI...?!?

 

[jeshikat]

ASUS likes to go all out on the Impact (and now Strix) boards but otherwise them and MSI are actually fairly conservative when it comes to bringing new platforms to Mini-ITX so I doubt we'll see ITX AM4 from them anytime soon.

Guh, a Strix grade AM4 board would be so cool. If only...

They do have Strix AM4...it's just incorrectly sized.

Oh right, they've got some full ATX boards. Quick, saw one in half, that'll do it.

DO IT NOW I WAS TRAVELLING AND MY 6600K GOT FRIED

BTW, Biostar says the X370GTN supports PCIe bifurcation.

Where are the x300 chipset, any news?

 

[jeshikat]

None of the motherboard vendors mentioned it at Computex that I heard.

It seems a bit like no third-party mobo-maker is going to use it. And to be fair, what use would it be to have the X300 chipset? Does that feature anything that either the B350 or X370 can't do? It is cheaper to have less production lines, and it adds less confusion to the consumers. It is confusing enough that we already have X99, X299, X370 and X399. We don't need X300, do we?


On-topic, I really wait for Asus B350/X370 ITX boards. I hope they will equip them as good as their Kaby Lake counter parts with dual M.2 and USB 3.1 Gen 2 front headers.

Since the Ryzen CPUs have stuff like SATA, USB, and M.2 built-in it's possible to build a basic Mini-ITX motherboard that only uses what's on the CPU. So the X300 is a cheap, bare necessities chipset for motherboard vendors to make budget ITX boards.

 

[zovc]

X300 might make more sense once we have AM4 chips with integrated graphics.

Has Asus confirmed they are creating an ITX board for Ryzen?
