DP+HDMI + M.2 on back side... Good. WiFi + OK audio. I only wonder about price.

Honestly, having USB 2.0 on the rear I/O actually puts me off from buying a motherboard especially in this form factor.

an old gamer which has nothing to do with this Mobo?
With the same success, AMD can launch Radeon 580 Donal Trump super R3D edition.

But one of them is a Fatal1ty mouse port, that has to count for something no?

I'm really liking the specs on this tiny mobo , * DP , HDMI , Intel Nic , Good Wi-Fi , good integrated sound *. The only thing right now putting me off to build and upgrade my ancient , really old FM1-3650 APU HTPC is Ram prices
, if not this would be my board of choice. I really want to built a nice mini-itx HTPC a tiny one.

aside from all the hilarity over branding, i've been waiting for this board! Asrock has been hitting AM4 out of the park.

Ass-Rock has some really cool boards I must admit, I only had 1 so far but I read they are a division of Asus.

It'll be interesting to see how this compares to that ROG Strix one that was reviewed a few days ago.

I show it as an 8 phase but if its anything like previous boards its probably a doubled up 3x2+2 design in which case the vrm is junk going from my own experience with my ab350 gaming.

They schould really consider a possible name change Ass-Rock can be misleading to some folks. Like Asus spelled backwards would be Susa.
