More like one board with a choice of chipset that is unlikely to make any difference whatsoever, except save you some cash if you get the B350 over the X370.

The X370 supposedly has an MSRP of $129 and the B350 should retail at $109.

All we need now is a none-biostar board and we're good to go

Hey Biostar, here's a product suggestion:

Take your useless LEDs and DVI port and shove them up your collective asses.
Then, replace them with something that would be useful on an mITX board - something like, I dunno, MORE USB PORTS ON THE BACK PANEL. Since, you know, most mITX cases don't have anything more than a single USB 3.0 front connector, so even if you include 50 USB2 headers on the board, it doesn't make a scrap of difference.

Honestly I'm convinced that the person who puts a VGA connector on a 4K monitor is the same person who puts a DVI connector on a mITX motherboard. And that they're retarded.

DVI is the best video connector out there. I wish everything was connected with it.

I guess people who put wheels on a car are idiots aswell? Just because we have the technology to make a car hover/fly doesn't mean that every new car has to do that. Wheels are still better. Same with video connector. Just because HDMI and DP are newer, doesn't mean they are better. DVI is still better than anything else.

Wow you lack a lot of intelligence. Please troll elsewhere. Research DVI. Go back to your desk job and stuff it.

And exactly how many CPUs can you buy today that can use that DVI connector?

Displayport is superior to DVI. DVI is antiquated tech left over from the early 2000s when it was introduced.

How many times are they going to announce these? I swear this is like the 3rd or 4th time I'm seeing a thread here about them.

As much as I'm pining for an AM4 iTX, these just aint gonna cut it.

Do some damn research before making nonsensical statements.

Ever heard of constructive criticism?

Hmmm, I wonder who the one who really lacks intelligence is...

Good to see there's one other person (and apparently, only one) who understands display standards in this thread. DisplayPort is a superset of DVI's functionality, plus it's a physically smaller connector, plus it's royalty-free; there's literally no reason to go for DVI if you can have DP.
