I remember them talking about ITX boards not selling so well, but it would be strange if they don't make one.

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

Not that I know about, but I would find it strange if Asus and/or any other major brand would skip out on that, now that Ryzen is a confirmed success. Especially since Asus Crosshair VI is one of the most popular mobos for Ryzen, and in general Asus mobos are well received among gamers and entusiast in all form factors and CPU-platforms.

this is taking too long and micro center does not carry the biostar board. at least the hosuton store i couldnt find it

I asked the guy I deal with the most at the Cincinnati Microcenter about the Asrock and Gigabyte boards and he thinks they will get them. All speculation though really. More waiting!

Perhaps in the US from say Newegg shipped to the US will be less?

Man that sounds selfish!

Can't wait to see your impressions @Moravid

I think the Asrock one looks the nicest so far. I don't like their wifi enclosure though. They have placed the antenna connectors too close to each other, making it impossible to use our own antennas. Asus is using the same enclosure, but the connectors are more apart.

You could maybe drill another hole in the casing if it wouldn't interfere with the card inside.

Not a perfect solution but a short RP-SMA - RP-SMA pigtail should solve that

EDIT: I'm assuming their using RP-SMA because basically everything consumer and wifi does but these type of pigtails exist for basically any combination of connector types.

I just wish it supported USB 3.1, honestly that's the only missing feature that kills the board for me. It's non-issue for anyone without a need for 3.1 support but I have an external Samsung T3 SSD that uses USB 3.1 and I desire that sweet sweet throughput.

sweet sweet throughput is sweet, but I find even 3.0 super fast.
And the only time I needed full 3.0 speed was when I was cloning a laptop hdd to an ssd, and even that was blazingly fast.

This is all subjective of course as I have not tasted 3.1 yet.

Has the Gigabyte B350 pricing been confirmed? I recall hearing it's $115 but can't seem to remember where. ASRock's seem pretty expensive (JPY price) in comparison if that proves to be right.
