just got my hands on THE first AM4 mini ITX motherboard

purecain · May 8, 2017

ok so I decided against using am3. the problem being the backplate design that comes with the water 3.0 from tt.

for those people who are managing with it, be careful you don't bend your boards.

so I had a look at corsair and noticed they were offering a free bracket which will fit my tt cooler. as I have a corsair h100i they sent me one for free.
that was on Thursday and ive just received an email to let me know delivery will be on Wednesday. so not too bad of a turn around...

cant wait for it to get here.. :toast:

2 new Asus Strix boards just appeared for pre-order on overclockers, and 2 more prime ones

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...ocket-am4-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-69w-as.html
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...ocket-am4-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-69v-as.html

The X370 ones pre order price is a bit high, but some of overclockers prices have been higher than elsewhere recently, particularly Asus products

The X370 ones vrm looks very similar to the x370 pro, though may be slightly better
The B350 has a further reduced looking vrm, but still looks better than most B350 boards

Thing about the VRM's is they aren't really holding these chips back on air...

I've been on lookout for that mobo. Hope it hits Canada soon.

Grings · May 8, 2017

I'm really digging the B350 strix board in my previous post, i think its the 1st b350 I've seen with the new realtek audio and intel lan

If they can be found a bit cheaper than that listed pre order price elsewhere (likely) this could prove a decent semi budget option

Grings · May 9, 2017

It looks more like an x370 pro pcb given a rog makeover, at least in terms of cpu and ram vrm sections

it looks like it should be priced a bit lower, closer to the msi carbon and such

On the z270 equivalent strix range the -f is midrange, and the -e model is a lot closer in quality to the proper rog boards

I would stick with the crosshair personally

Nice I'm curious about the finished build, give us some pictures.

had i known better i would have gone b350 and r1700

cdawall · May 9, 2017

Right now microcenter is selling the 1700x/1800x with $100 off motherboards that's the better deal. 1700x and a free gigabyte b350 is a killer setup.

well, this one hit retails here, in indonesia, just yesterday, and quite cheap too

i think it will spread round the globe pretty soon

sorry to let you down but am not gonna build another AM4 rig atm as this board is a sample provided by the local distributor, just gonna do a quick test, have a peek to the UEFI and maybe try to see how far it will clock my 1800x

it does indeed look very nice, I've returned my Asrock AB350M as I bought the wrong one at the time but I may swing for this if it's available over the next couple of weeks and the price comes down a bit

I'd still go with the AMD Ryzen 1600 because of the higher base clock.

3.9 doesn't seem hard on the combo even using the old wraith coolers.

trparky · May 9, 2017

But I'm not going to pay close to half a grand for just the processor.

Why? I have a 6850k currently and a motherboard that isn't cheap. Welcome to higher end parts...

I am hoping to see more ITX. It hurts that there is only one ITX mobo.

ITX + 1700 (non-x) + RX460 (or560) and Define Nano is what I've been thinking. I am actually waiting for APU more though.

new dividers coming to ryzen cpus in September. ddr4000mhz possible...

Possible, but for most it won't be probable.

justimber · May 10, 2017

will build an AMD rig soon due to Ryzen

I totally abandoned the desktop after the Dozer-gate (was really excited to replace my Athlon64 and Phenom II rigs) and had to settle on a gaming laptop (to lessen the upgrade itch that I had that time.lol)
just waiting for prices to subside a little bit and for more mobos to be released then i'd sell my current lappy and return to desktops hehe

any recommendations on a build? just need a mobo, proc, ram....will use an old GPU for now since i'm waiting for vega to be released too.

edit: sorry. forgot to include budget

about $1500

Cheers!

Why? ddr4 4000+ is the top end of ddr4 in speed and price, how many R5 1500 owners are willing to spend more than their processor on 16GB RAM? anything 2666-3200 is where most of the DDR4 sales are sales are, not a small % of people who are going to be buying 4000+ RAM

RejZoR · May 10, 2017

I'm waiting for Ryzen based APU's so I can finally retire my AMD E-450 lappy. Buying Celeron or Core i3 feels like a ripoff with prehistoric dual core design, but a quad core Ryzen APU should be nice even at lower clocks for basic models. And if they'll come with Polaris/Vega GPU part, they're gonna be pretty sweet.
