For our next X370 review we look at the brilliant ASRock X370 Gaming Professional Fatal1ty. This enthusiast class line of Ryzen motherboard is not just stylish, it has 5 Gbps Ethernet, AC WIFI, dual M.2 slots and every feature you could wish for on the high-end Ryzen platform.

I originally was looking at this one but settled on the Taichi in the end as I wasn't too bothered about the 5Gbit ethernet which was the main difference between the two as they both seem to have the same VRM setup and other features.

This is a horrible design. If you use the M.2, which I would plan to use, this disables the last PCIe slot which if I plan to use two older GTX970's in SLI would leave me only 1 - 4X PCIE slot available. Since I would also like to use a PCIE tuner board and a PCIE sound card because any built in sound card no matter how good the caps are using software processing is pure crap. FAIL board.

How many people are planning to have four PCIe cards in use? Replace the two 970s with a single Pascal card.

Fan headers: these are important to anyone going with air in a case. Reviewers work on an open bench and often forget all about fans. I only see provision for about four fans, and the control characteristics available aren't described. Asus has been doing much better than this for at least ten years.

M.2 headers: I wonder why nobody yet stands these on edge, instead of flat. That would be a much better use of mobo space which is always at a premium. I think they would cool as well as (if not better than) flat.

I guess the flat orientation has been the default one because the M.2 have always(?) had the functionality of using a screw to fasten them to the mobo.
