ASRock is releasing a new ATX motherboard, the AMD Socket AM4 X370 Pro 4 comes in a black and white design and will start selling early March fir merely 95 Euros.

You'll need to like the design, but it's not bad really. The heatsinks might be a bit more simplified and the RGB bling seems to be stripped away. It comes with all the regulars you may expect from the X3870 range including two M2 slots, USB 3.1 Type-C, and enhanced audio. The board is based on a 9-phase power design and can house four DDR4 DIMMs rated at least up to 3200 MHz. It has two x16 PCIe slots.

Socket: Socket AM 4
Chipset: AMD X 370
Form factor: ATX
Memory slot: DDR 4 - 3200 MHz × 4 (64 GB maximum)
Expansion slots: PCI - Express 3.0 (x16) x 2, PCI - Express 2.0 (x 1) x 4
Storage: SATA 3.0 (6 Gbps) × 6 (2 ports inside are ASM 1061), Ultra M 2. × 1, M 2 × 1
LAN: Gigabit LAN × 1 (Realtek RTL 8111 GR)
Sound: 7.1 ch HD audio (Realtek ALC 892)
Interface: Gigabit LAN × 1, USB 3.1 Gen.1 × 6 (Type-A × 5 / Type-C × 1), USB 2.0 × 2, Audio terminal × 3, D- Sub × 1, HDMI × 1, DVI-D × 1
External dimensions: W 305 × H 224 mm

At only €95,- this motherboard seems like a pretty sweet deal if you wanted to go for a nice AMD Ryzen build.

Good price and good product. Don't want all that nonsense anyway, so it's nice to see someone catering to this. But I'll probably wait till we have X470/B450...

Considering this doesn't really lack anything that anybody really needed, I'd say this makes for a good product. But... it still boggles my mind why nobody is releasing mATX X370 boards. It's a decent market left completely untouched.

there is the excellent asrock ab350m pro4 in mATX,
i use it in the home office. with 2 x m.2 (1 x pcie, 1 x sata) it offers an exceptionally clean build for $90 more or less.
a friend of mine is building up his home studio and wanted a DAW... the ATX version will do nicely for not much. plus, for copyrighted material and the extra security you need, there is no built in wifi.
wifi AC is very nice and much more secure than N to be sure. i love it on the laptop. call me old school, but i dearly love me some hard wired ethernet.
anyway you can buy a wifi AC dongle for $25.

Also AsRock's atx am4 Pro4 boards are great for mining - those are cheapest am4 boards with 6 built-in PCIe.
Instead of buying a shitty celeron you can have a great cpu that can even mine you some Monero, Aeon etc =)
Also with latest BIOS theese boards kick ass in every aspect. Have my 1700 @3900 mhz pretty stable (though for heavy load you've gotta back up a little)
