Amd better cause intel to drop there prices. :edit: this was a joke comment I can't believe I got to the top thanks guys

[@SpringWaterPaul]

Matek amd is beter. amd will make intel drop their price

[@scrongi]

Matek Seeing as one of two of your replies is just worded so bad I will will be happy to answer your question for you. AMD is better than Intel because AMD are able to make Intel's prices drop on their lines of CPUs.

[@cooltechno360]

Translation: I hope AMD processors offer better value performance-wise, because then, hopefully Intel will finally lower the prices of their processors.

[@Terence.McKenna]

+Matek what fucking language does it look like dumbass

[@akimbojimbo6590]

Even if intel decides to retain their "pricing douchebaggery," the AMD processors will be cheaper nonetheless. And if there is any merit to their debut of the Summit Ridge processor against the i7 6900k, then they will be an incredible bargain that will blow intel out of the water hopefully.

[@drajah1986]

Brown PCB? The fk gigabyte

[@trevorjames7063]

Youbones Atleast it's not bright orange, like everything else Gigabyte has been pushing out recently.

[@Archon5712]

Goes well with Noctua ;)

[@bimbobaggins7658]

budget stuff is shit

[@chrisphergroup1]

Its like they spent time trying to find out which color is more likely to make you buy the more expensive models

[@bimbobaggins7658]

***** i have an i3 3210, dont talk noob

[@justinvorndran6985]

can't wait for AMD to finally be competitive again.

[@aneeshprasobhan]

Why arent they producing their own chips now ?

[@jeffreyz4632]

I can't wait too.

[@aneeshprasobhan]

Orion F what ?? elaborate pls

[@OrionFlynn29]

Aneesh Prasobhan basically Intel and Nvidia has technologies (hyperthreading , PhysX, etc) and AMD wanted to pair with them to help create better stuff but greedy greedy Intel and Nvidia both turned them down. Now AMD has Vulkan and sets their eyes on budget GPU and hopefully ryzen does well too

[@CossackHD]

I dunno, I had 80-120 FPS in Battlefield 4 Ultra on FX-8350 :D High end AM3 still rocks for the money, but not worth buying now.

[@MarcusH...]

3:45 rip SYS_FAN3 pin 4

[@MrDitkovich]

lol

[@bhippler100]

just bend it back it works

[@MarcusH...]

unrip pin 4, Brett Hippler to the rescue

[@bhippler100]

Marcus I'm the pin medic

[@daviddebroux4708]

rip in spaghetti *uses tweezers to straighten it back up* IT'S OK GUYS I GOT IT FIXED.

[@slimshadythe111]

CES coverage with studio quality b rolls 👌

[@ImAzraa]

To be fair, commentary was spot on as well, so its not just a pretty face lol 8)

[@landwolf00]

The fact that mobo manufacturers are targeting midrange makes me really nervous...

[@juansantiago164]

landwolf00 why it looks like a good thing to me they're making the boards more accessible to the masses do you don't have three products with high prices to buy for your PC

[@bear9781]

Juan Santiago The thing is, if AMD wants to really compete it needs to actually target the high range for once. For what feels like forever now AMD has been an alright budget pick but never a good high range pick.

[@dijosoul]

Reality of the situation...However the fact is AMD do NOT need to beat Intel on the high end (that's just the fantasy of fanboys). If they can give equivalent or slightly > i3/i5 performance at a lower price point with other value add features in the chipset (eg higher end audio, faster storage, etc) they'll carve out a nice niche. In fact, the AMD chipsets have been where they've been sorely behind. Good to see type c and m.2/u.2.

[@r3d0c]

AMD's 370 chipset is 2 years old already.. as usual amd falls behind, nothing new; take a look at Intel's z270 chipset, it's amazing and futureproof

[@juansantiago164]

rhn94 how is it already 2 years old because it doesn't support optane

[@009SOUNDSYSTEM1]

Ryzen up. Back on the street.

[@Ravenousjoe]

I really hope we some decent micro itx mobos for AM4.

[@stevenkutschat]

Yea i'm in the market for a NAS so an ITX board with an AM4 APU would be great!

[@itzW3LF]

I guess they already shown an ITX mobo

[@stevenkutschat]

W3LF yea GN showed one but gave almost zero info on it :| so "decent" is still far from certain.

[@itzW3LF]

You're right :D

[@Archon5712]

"You’ll want an X300 motherboard in a tiny mini-ITX machine, and an X370 in a full-size PC. Both support all of the recent tech being baked into AM4" www.pcworld.com/article/3154720/computers/amd-reveals-an-army-of-ryzen-pcs-and-am4-motherboards.html

[@SugarWeasel1227]

If AMD delivers on the hype, their products and the resulting competition will create a renaissance for PC gaming and hardware

[@SovietRipper]

Dont forget the new apus with an integrated r7 360 igpu. A blessing for the low end gaming.

[@ubertiger151]

Kenneth Nguyen i find it sad that their apu is only as strong as an rx 460. some years ago they said they will have a chip as strong as an fx 8350 with an r9 280. but anyways im happy that they finally will release new cpus

[@ArtisChronicles]

UberTiger1 someday they'll actually have strongish apus. that day is not today, but so long as they continue developing apus that day will come.

[@ericzhuprogrammer]

HardwareCanuck's b roll is amazing. The production quality is probably one of the best among tech tubers on youtube, definitely better than LTT.

[@ScrattleGG]

It needs more "GAMING" in the product name. I don't feel like this is gaming enough to make me grandmaster in cs.go

[@ImAzraa]

Yeah you laugh, but there are definitely some dimwits around who buy buzzwords

[@SurajDeuja1987]

nvme and u.2 licensing fee...intel makes money either ways...damn intel...

[@napaextra5954]

you forgot that intel still pay AMD for x64 l

[@SurajDeuja1987]

Intel and amd are at cross licensing...forgot that...btw do you know if amd is using thunderbolt for egpu on laptops??

[@Starchface]

Smart Intel. It doesn't really bother me. It's sort of nice that Intel is allowing it, rather than withholding them. I suppose Intel would be sued for that, but still. That's the price AMD pays for spending so many years in the doghouse. The Lost Decade. Intel, for what it's worth, is licensing certain technologies such as x64 from AMD. It's a two-way street, even if most of the traffic is going one way.

[@SurajDeuja1987]

pillsnotbills yeah..the whole anti-monopoly acts across the world....so they are quite locked into each other...don't even get me started about the years gone by...

[@SurajDeuja1987]

***** amd's revenue for 2015 was 3.99billion...so by the numbers you've posted nearly 35% of amd's revenue is from royalty?? that creates new perspective to sitting on arse and doing nothing....

[@rahulchandran3462]

Is it just me or does this guy look like Chris Pratt....

[@digitalfruitcake24]

Romeo Romi He 100% does. I've always thought this

[@Raizan_]

Chris Pratt looks like Dmitry

[@MrDitkovich]

Same person

[@TexelGuy]

He's crisp rat

[@brianvickery4071]

Dmitri, amazing job giving us a look at the Gigabyte boards.

[@BrainSeepsOut]

The best part of AMD's CPU sockets is the fact that after like 10 years they still use the same cooler mount. That's just incredible and I applaud them for not being Intel and changing their socket every year.

[@jesondag]

Actually they did this time. The whole spacing is different, so aftermarket coolers need a redesign for it.

[@ArtisChronicles]

jesondag which is a bit unfortunate as I was hoping I could buy a cooler right now and use it later. I actually expected this though

[@Pistolero891]

Don't let us down AMD! Bring your A game pls

[@veronicarochester6288]

I just want to say great job on keeping us updated with everything while maintaining great quality on your videos! Keep up the good work, love you guys!

[@maninthevan53]

Everything is all gaming we do need some high end regular boards too.

[@CurtissB]

danny blackhorse msi make high end non-gaming mobos. i believe theyre called msi pro

[@godCobain]

because gamers make up the biggest chunk of market-share

[@intercointerface212]

+danny blackhorse just use gaming branded stuff instead of regular boards, the gaming bit usually doesn't make a difference to the feature set. Just buy whatever has the features.

[@maninthevan53]

I do have 3 pc at my home running top boards and never play a game or overclock , to get the top features I do use some gaming boards.

[@intercointerface212]

danny blackhorse So your point is null? Since the tag 'gamer' doesn't even make a difference in your opinion.

[@josh885]

The first round of boards we saw at CES seem aimed squarely at competing with the Z270 boards. I'll wait for the X99/X299 competitor boards. It will be interesting to see what Asus ends up offering. An X370 Deluxe board would be likely about perfect for me.

[@KXP70]

Fuck midrange, I want high-end or I'm not buying.

[@GamingLife076]

why wait? Dont the x370 come out first with the 8core. After that the rest?

[@bin_ph]

If you want High-End, buy Intel not AMD

[@GamingLife076]

Dude everything below the 6900K get's beaten by 8core Ryzen. Is the 6900K not high-end ? I thought so. Or does your high-end label require a 1200,- chip.

[@chrisbrinzo]

GamingLife link to benchmarks??

[@GamingLife076]

Leaked Blender render, gaming benchmarks? Well it's all over the internet.. did you watch Horizon event?

[@ChiefFalque]

Very happy about APU and CPU sharing the same socket.

[@nbrikha]

Thank you for the AMD coverage. I probably won't buy one, but I used to be on the Red team and it's nice seeing them try to get back in the enthusiast range. Nice looking boards

[@leo-ub6nb]

1:53 "Utra fast storage..." I'm guessing you meant ultra?? LOL 😂

[@JudasIsHere]

The second one totally got my attention... let's wait pricing

[@stevenkutschat]

agreed

[@alecday3775]

While Kaby Lake looks to be not the best upgrade path from Skylake (lets be honest here: it isn't an upgrade at al from Skylake really they are performing pretty much neck and neck); Ryzen is shaping up to be the better upgrade option for those needing to upgrade from Skylake right away but don't have the money for the X99 platform CPUs from Intel. Performance on the SR7 CPUs is looking really promising and if the price is right could be a real game-changer in the CPU market and also a massive shakeup as well which is what is so very much needed.

[@StachelyPigglyBottom]

Awesome. AM4 is going to be an all encompassing platform for pretty much any consumer and that's just awesome. Thanks for the review!

[@johnakos23]

last time i was this excited for a cpu release it was back when the lga1155 socket launched with sandy bridge.

[@Mutio86]

Hope they'll do an M7 too with Creative Core audio - that'll be the board for my AMD Ryzen system :)

[@RathOX]

Asus Z270 ROG Formula IX already sold me

[@Jknessmic]

I've been on AM3 + for 10 years I'm ready for AM4!!!

[@TaintMeat68]

Some aio coolers come with adaptor hardware so the plastic brackets around the cpu socket can be left alone . You mentioned people will want to remove them yet that's not always needed .

[@TP95112]

Nice to finally see some modern motherboards coming out for AMD

[@Michael55fication]

I have a feeling this is gonna be a good year for the market

[@superlongnamethatgooglesur1282]

Why is everyone worried about how amd will make CPUs to challenge billion dollar supercomputers? Why isn't anybody worried about a CPU made in the Rx 480 category where it'll serve the mass PC gaming majority?

[@CurtissB]

SuperLongNameThatGoogleSuprisinglyLetMeHave why would anyone think these could challenge billion-dollar supercomputers?

[@superlongnamethatgooglesur1282]

Lapine Block why would you think the first part wasn't sarcastic, I didn't mean it literally, I meant a CPU able to compete with Intel showing their big profit dick to everybody.

[@ArtisChronicles]

Coltc8 it should, but definitely wait for some performance numbers by reviewers.

[@r3d0c]

1:55 "ooltra fast"

[@MyBrothersMario]

Finally RGBW is being put onto motherboards.

[@trevorjames7063]

I'm really hoping high end mini itx boards start becoming common. I've been dying to get my tiny pc built.

[@audieliem4843]

Gong to build a HTPC using Ryzen when it launches, personally hoping for Aorus ITX mobos to launch at that time!!!!

[@worthless_opinion]

Finally DDR4 memory! About fucking time.

[@Mixbag]

metal shields over pci is not for support its to shield the signals within the connector from interference

[@LFactoRve]

those mobos looks so clean

[@TheJerzyslugga]

Ima start piecing my build together now so all I'll need is the new mobo and chip

[@budczus]

What is the music title in the background. Seems great for driving.

[@ouroboros_on_the_orange]

Finally...AMD was lately so off with their game that Intel was literally sleeping with their development since they had a major head start. Sharper the competition better for the consumers and development it self.

[@CodySoape]

With Ryzen I'm mostly interested in a SFF productivity build as I just built an i7 Z170 gaming rig. We know that high clocks with as few as four cores are great for most gaming set-ups, but I would love to have an eight core rig that doesn't cost as much as Intel's X99 platform for productivity.

[@vel0city96]

You forgot to mention a crucial thing about B350: it still allows overclocking. Pair that with the fact that all Zen CPUs are unlockable and you have the perfect board for people who game with just one GPU but also like a little more mmmph out of their CPU. Boards with the B350 chipset will sell incredibly well considering it's target price point and the features you're getting from it.

[@SovietRipper]

Man that sounds so sweet

[@LRM12o8]

But no SLI/CF. also bear that in mind

[@vel0city96]

LRM12o8 It's a mid-range board. People buying these boards don't have a dual-GPU setup. If you do want CF/SLI you get an X370 board.

[@LRM12o8]

Vel0city I know. But I see myself as a budget gamer and I'd like to have Crossfire for the event of getting a second RX 480 was cheaper than getting a better GPU somewhere in the future. it might not be all that likely, but it would've been a nice option to have also for midrange. Anyway that was just fyi, since one could assume a board with three x16 PCI-E slots would be multi GPU capable

[@ArtisChronicles]

LRM12o8 I'd probably use those slots for extra USB slots or something along those lines. maybe more sata controllers

[@guynumber20]

Finally you're back 👀 tired of falling asleep with that other guys voice

[@PixelYohan]

Kind of makes me upset that the only reason most people want to have AMD be successful is for Intel to drop their prices. I sincerely would try to get an AMD build. Right now I'm using a Xeon 1231v3 but my next build would probably be based on an AMD CPU + GPU.

[@SovietRipper]

I was gonna buy a small i3 6100 and a mobo. Then i heard that Ryzen will have new APUs with an integrated r7 360. Oh boy, bye intel, i want to try that shit. Im gonna 100% wait for Ryzen now. I really want to help AMD get back to the race. And the new APUs are literally a blessing for the budged gamers, literally a discrete GPU integranted, i dont want to see more of the Intel HD graphics.

[@ubertiger151]

YHN a xeon e3 1231v3 is still a very good cpu its basically an i7 4770. it will serve u for like more years

[@Homemedrunkimtake]

Was building an M-ITX powered by Intel... But now that I've seen this new AMD boards. I might just drop it and build a full case!

[@aef6259]

Keep the Ryzen coverage coming!

[@brunoaamello]

2:39 -> The socket is not like am3/am3+, it is like fm2/fm2+, which I don't think is the actual predecessor of ryzen.

[@NicksDomain101]

I cant wait for Zen APU's, should totally change the budget oriented build game if they're good.

[@SovietRipper]

The new APUs would have an integrated r7 360. AMD will literally just kill the super low end GPUs like NVIDIA 740 or etc

[@Blendedasian]

if this gen's A10 has a 35W version that runs current games at 60fps on medium settings on the integrated graphics, i'm a happy camper with a mini-ITX build.

[@DanielLecoqRooster]

Here's hoping some interesting APUs come out of this

[@dogetothemoon223]

Sorry, noob question but why does AMD stick to PGA? Is LGA patented by Intel or something?

[@markdavenportjr5129]

Nice cant wait to see some real amd ryzen 8 core benchmarks this spring. :)

[@sayasitht.9708]

Wow you must have the best 1080p camera since all your uploads look like they are uploaded in 4k.

[@alanmcelreath8477]

So hype for Ryzen to be released!

[@darkphoenix7225]

noticed foxconn in this video weird seeing there name on a Gigabyte motherboard

[@louisss645]

Nice thumbnail with Mac play/pause bar in it

[@Lolimaster]

AM4 mobos looks so clean when many circuitry was moved to the CPU-SOC. For equal features they should be cheaper than intel ones.

[@officialpfk6296]

Legend says, Hardware Canucks might reply to you :)

[@franonymous3096]

Dennis Syme its a lie

[@Dragoslav_MD]

Well done Gigabyte & AMD, well done.

[@thetrigger173]

hope they will release the m-atx or even mini-itx motherboard for AM4 :D

[@Cmdaddy88]

Anyone else notice how rough and unfinished these mobos look compared to their z270 counterparts? The latter have a nice sleek smooth finish to the boards

[@drunkwookie]

just making sure but these boards stick to the standard form factors, atx/eatx etc... looking to buy a new case and powersupply ready for my new build :D

[@DimiS1978]

Killer Nic... Intel Nic or gtfo

[@unclerubo]

Yeah, about that, all three boards have one Intel NIC, as can be read on the boards themselves in 1:28 . I thought it was pretty interesting, considering the AMD platform...

[@Bayonet1809]

High end AMD motherboards have always used Intel NICs; the companies don't hate each other, unlike their respective fanboys.

[@unclerubo]

Well, as the NIC is not part of the chipset itself, it's up to the board manufacturer to choose which one to use. I haven't had a high end AMD platform in a while, and I sure want to, but knowing how Intel usually behaves, I'm kind of surprised that they allow board partners to use their controller on an AMD platform...

[@countbaker5595]

Killer is shit. MSI Z97 got me issue with memory leaks. If only I was more educated before.

[@unclerubo]

As far as I know, the difference between a regular NIC and a killer NIC is that the latter has some special software dependencies and a dedicated ARM processor with its own RAM to prioritize packets. I don't know how adding another couple of layers to the network stack won't increase latency but I'm not an expert. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@keremayhan3687]

Can you do a video about creating your own keyboard please ?

[@BenjaminWagener]

Would be nice to see some U.2-SSDs for consumers. I would definitely prefer them to M.2 based SSDs. Less cooling-problems...

[@HSHighScore]

Super cool mobos, just waiting for u AMD :D

[@dirtydoge756]

Too bad for Gigabyte i'm never touching another one of their mainboards ever again.

[@alicksu571]

Battledoge Games why?

[@dirtydoge756]

I've got an X99 SOC FORCE by them and out of the 15+ rigs i've built, this is the only gigabyte board. It has the most fussy bios i've ever used. I cant even OC in it anymore, the boot device goes missing every time I do and this board is literally MADE for overclocking. Like, that's pretty much it's sole purpose and it cant even do that. Hell, I cant even restore shit to default and rely on the "OC" button built on the mobo to do the OC because the boot device still goes missing. Reset everything back to default and bam, it boots fine, but no OC. A buddy of mine has the SOC champion and has the exact same problem. Not to mention other issues i've had with this board including crashes while in the bios and settings not saving. It's a well built, aesthetically pleasing board, but all the pluses are wiped away when it's hardly functional. I should have just stuck with MSI or Asus, both of which I've never had this many problems with before. I have phoned gigabyte several times about it and they insist there's nothing wrong with the board and that it must be something I'm doing when I know what I'm doing. I've done this same shit on different boards and never had these issues, so not only do they refuse to RMA it, they claim it's working as intended. I CANT EVEN GET IT TO OC WITH THE SIMPLE OC BUTTON BUILT ON TO THE MOTHERBOARD WITHOUT THE BOOT DEVICE GOING MISSING! HOW IS THAT "WORKING AS INTENDED"!?

[@peoplez129]

Yeah my last gigabyte motherboard fried, and took my GPU with it. There was a clear fried spot on a chip on the motherboard, it looked like someone had broken a piece off. It was a MA770T board. They actually had a lot of failures with that board but covered it up and never acknowledged it so that they didn't have to do a recall. I think it was either a manufacturing defect or it was due to the 2oz copper inner layers. It either bridged some connections from within the board, or the heat transferred to the copper from the board which transferred heat to components that weren't designed to take that kind of heat. I mean believe it or not, there are components on motherboards that aren't designed to operate in the same temps that the CPU puts out, and it typically isn't an issue because they're nowhere near the CPU for it to be an issue. But if you have say, a copper layer sandwiched inside soaking up heat, it could transfer heat to areas you don't want it. I have an Asrock Z97 board now, and when I was using stock heatsink, even at 70c I was getting issues. Upgraded to a beefy heatsink and all the heat related issues went away, no more sudden reboots. Anyone with a 4790k knows that 70c is nothing and shouldn't be an issue, but it was the temps from the CPU causing issues in other components. The beefy heatsink more readily gets rid of that heat and keeps me at 55c max. Haven't had an issue since.

[@BatteredWalrus]

I'm just hoping that they'll have a mirco atx version

[@alessandropezzano5842]

I don't see any replaceable op amp in audio section unlike the z270 gaming 5...

[@Etheoma]

Again I just wish they had changed the mounting system for there coolers... That's my only complain for Zen, they should have changed it to something like the mounting system for Intel's 2011 platform now that's a nice mounting system. No back plates needed for custom cooling.

[@SirMo]

Damn, it's going to be a tough choice between all these motherboards.. I like the all white accent control..

[@SirMo]

I did, it's awesome, I am between that and MSI X370 Titanium

[@Olter_]

SirMo FUCKIN RACIST

[@Olter_]

Ruma Your name translates to "ugly" in Finnish

[@SirMo]

Olter My case is silver aluminum so I want to match the mobo with my case.. somehow that makes me a racist.. ok lol

[@lucasferes3519]

I'm excited to see what is coming but i built my high end PC last year, my only option was Intel but i really hope AMD do something about it, at least starting in mid range market.

[@alexvillalobos7137]

A shit load of fan headers please thank you

[@dukedurell]

Nice features on those boards now If AMD releases the CPU for it I can upgrade from my old Phenom 2

[@marvfpv1590]

well, if the cou prices are in the 200$ area, they would be a pretty good intel killer

[@Zeroplanetz]

I'm hoping for some nice motherboards like what's offered for intel's CPU lineup on the high end.

[@19880215]

Well i'll be damned.. it's the second coming , he has Ryzen!

[@beachboy_boobybuilder]

I'm looking forward to Dmitri reviewing the awesome 8 cores Ryzen and X370. No AM4 work station mobos?.

[@4rtur3k]

Does someone knows what's the background music?

[@Starchface]

I like that AMD didn't bother with a GPU on the die. They are focusing on what's important. Funny that the chipset is called 370. Coincidence? I love it. It's so exciting. Those motherboards are making me feel something down there.

[@SovietRipper]

Thats why this generarion APUs are so insteresting. Someone who wants high end gaming would not be instered in a igpu so why making them pay for it? meanwhile AMD is gonna bless the low end gaming with an integrated r7 360 with the new APUs, probably the most powerful igpu i have hear of, a discrete/low end gpu killer.

[@Starchface]

What you give to the GPU you take away from the CPU. Obviously there are limits to what can be done because of heat dissipation, power and bandwidth requirements, but if AMD can provide performance at least as good as a decent i3 with that, they will have something.

[@DoomWalker42]

Trying to decide between AMD Ryzen and Intel Kaby Lake - upgrading from an i5 4690k. Wanna overclock and mainly use my PC for gaming and word processing and various multimedia tasks. Will have to wait for prices and benchmarks but 2017 and 2018 will be exciting years for PC enthusiasts.

[@DoomWalker42]

Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately all we can do now is wait and see. I want to wait anyway until I am more financially stable since I will easily have to spend around 500-1000 pounds to get a new CPU/mobo/DDR4 ram/gtx 10-series upgrades.

[@screes620]

ITX Ryzen motherboards please.

[@TheRealSkeletor]

Honestly I don't see the point of the onboard display adapter on a board for chips with no integrated video. Who the heck gets a > $200 motherboard for use with an APU? APUs by nature are for people who do budget builds (nothing wrong with that), so they'll likely be using a cheaper motherboard as well. I would rather they just save a few bucks by not even including the display port on these higher-end motherboards.

[@bayanzabihiyan7465]

I see your point but remember that they said that these boards would be compatable for the next 4 years, by that time they may have a beast NAVI based apu that someone with a then "old" mobo could use

[@Jdawg33198]

I really hope AM4 is going to be backwards compatible with AM3+ just like that chipset (AM3+)

[@ubertiger151]

Phteven for some reason im sure this wont be possible lol

[@brooklynforge4591]

Where are the mini ITX motherboards? I know they have the X300 chipset for enthusiast Mini ITX and I have a mini ITX rig.

[@spedracer55]

they seriously need to get the pins off the cpu

[@parselmeister2871]

Spedracer55 they cant the intel lga is a patent

[@sumsardoto]

Why? It makes no difference.

[@_Jonez_]

Never bent cpu pins. But I did bend a couple of LGA pins when installing my 4690k. Seriously the intel cpu bracket sucks xD

[@MarcusH...]

Can you check out the 144Hz 4k monitors pls

[@ivanluhi]

Any news on ITX motherboards for AM4? (High end, preferably...)

[@stevenkutschat]

you're not the only one hoping for that :)

[@PK-un9ol]

looks good so far also whats the song in the background?

[@OldMan_PJ]

Need MATX and ITX boards. No enthusiast is building with bloated ATX anymore.

[@GamingDatorer]

did we hear the thermal max of the socket? didn't AM3+ start to melt at 62 celcius?

[@ubertiger151]

I've heard that about Intel cpus, but becuase AMDs sockets are made out of plastic it is supposed to "melt" sooner than Intels. Hence my question what the new thermal thingy was.

good video do you know how's the ASRock compared to a gigabyte

[@JecIsBec]

So this looks like the z270 motherboards are a bit more updated than the gaming specific AM4 ones, would that be fair?

[@LRM12o8]

why does the B350 board have three PCI-E x 16 slots though? I thought B350 doesn't support Crossfire/SLI?

[@dazextralarge]

O don't remember AMD sockets being hollow in the middle before.
