ASRock Top-end X370 Socket AM4 Motherboards Production Versions Pictured

Ahead of their launch, production versions of ASRock's high-end socket AM4 motherboards based on AMD X370 chipset were shown off, at the company-sponsored DOTA Pit gaming event in Split, Croatia. Our friends at Tehix.org shared with us some exclusive pictures. These boards were first spied and detailed at this year's CES expo. Besides looking more polished and ready for retail, not much has changed between these boards from the ones we saw at CES, except the distinctive Ryzen logo on the I/O shield cover, replacing the Intel Ethernet logos. On some models, the Ryzen logo even glows red or white.

The event took place in Split, Croatia. Not Czech Republic.

The last one is X370 Fatal1ty Prof. Gaming or black & red themed X370 Taichi? I remember X370 Fatal1ty Prof. Gaming had beefier VRM & I/O shielding, bta. Either way, that black & red thing is my alternative in case ASUS doesn't come out with something similar, i.e. ROG Crosshair VI Formula-X or some such sh1t. Thanx for info. Also - f*ckin' shiny/LED RGB'y!!!! lol

Taichi and Pro Gaming share the same PCB, that is true.

There are slight differences between the original Taichi/Pro Gaming PCB presented at CES and the current pictures. Do you see the small components above the battery? And the (fan?) headers on the right of the top M2 slot?

I was talking bout same thing, the one in this thread/news item looks more like black n red "facelift" of X370 Tai Chi, than X370 Fatal1ty Prof. Gaming. Thinking of it, i think ASUS might come with pure black & red + LED RGB'y mobo as well, it's not like ASRock deliberately thrown the X370 Fatal1ty Pro Gaming design (let alone mobo itself) out the window. lol

It's strange, I don't see any more oc-formulas on the new chipsets, both the new Z270 and these...

So would AM3 coolers work on the new platform ? the mounting system looks wider.

Feels good to see physical AM4 products, though what will really get my excited will be X300/ITX boards.

Clip on is the same, but mounting holes are wider. *from what I've read

Asus Crosshair VI Hero has AM3 bracket holes besides AM4, OC3D preview.

This mobo only states that it is compatible with windows 10... I have yet to see anywhere that shows that Windows 7 will work on it. I really hate windows 10 and don't want to upgrade to it. Does this MOBO support WINDOWS 7 64bit?

Yes they support pretty much any bios, don't be tricked by marketing. It just means Win 10 is "officially" supported, that's all.
