You realise if I stick to intel with this board, and not Ryzen then it will not fit and then I will have to use a hammer to make it fit, then when I switch on it will catch fire and explode and my house will burn down, and I will not win I will lose everything You do realise that don't you?

Waiting on the Wifi boards. :<
Depending on the features, will be the deciding factor on form factor, although I'd prefer ITX,currently there is only this steaming pile of garbage they call a motherboard to choose from (It's a £100 with literally nothing on it, considering I bought a z87i pro for £128 years back and it came with everything including the killing my samsung f1 but that was samsung's firmware fault). :/

All good mate, 3900 @ 1.37v using p-state (LLC3) with 3466CL14 RAM @1.4v. SOC 1.140v
All nice and stable on the C6H Beta 9945 UEFI (Agesa 1006).
I'm not touching it now until some official UEFI gets released. 4ghz for me just not worth my while, too much voltage jump and don't need the performance.
Good luck.

ROFL! How's your Ryzen? My 1700 is at 3.9 (plan 4.0 next week) with memory etc working beautifully.

I had one on my 1700 until I got an AM4 mount for my X62, they're not bad and broadly in-line with my old Evo 212, but it does get noisy (for me at least) when OCing, which on an unlocked chip is expected. By stock cooler comparison it blows everything else out of the water, but i'm a noise freak :smiley:

to be honest i don't think its necessary to change the cooler especially if your not overclocking.. they seem to run really cool anyways.
but if you can get £30 back then i guess theirs not much difference in cost..

1600 non X seems to be the best bang for buck!!
dont even need a cpu cooler.. stock is decent and quiet

Agreed, for a gaming oriented system, or something of SFF the non-X chip would be my pick too. The cooler is fairly decent though with an mITX it may impact its efficiency given it's a top-down fan, better with a front-back direction I'd imagine though you can probably sell it for £30 and get a smaller BeQuiet or Noctua model.

I thought sli/x-fire was the singular reason to opt for x370 over b350?
As far as I can tell, this board has only 1 pci-e?!?
:Edit:
Ah, more usb3.1 & more sata.
Still seems kinda weak sauce given how much cheaper b350s are.

This is pretty much the only mITX board on the market with the AM4 socket right now, there are no B350 boards to compare it to if that's the form factor you need.

This motherboard or wait a it longer for Asrock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming-ITX/ac and the Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac ?
Looks like Asrock will be a better choice here, but no idea about availability of Asrock boards. Price will be around £150 I think, don't know if it's worth waiting and the extra ££.

This is mITX, so unless you need additional PCIE slots or you're planning on 4 DIMMS (which I'd warn against anyway) I'd say you would be no better off by waiting.
Which CPU/GPU are you using with it?

Yeah, I wonder where the Intel defense force (IDF) are these days.
Maybe they're all reading up about x299 and trying to make any sense of it, there's not a lot to be had.
X399 renders it DOA.

It's a common misconception that the sockets are different. LGA 1151 and AM4 are in fact exactly the same but marketing would have us believe differently.
Do the squint test, they look the same, right?
