It seems that a sales slide presentation of ASUS AM4 (Ryzen) motherboards has surfaced, and theres a lot of detail in there. ASUS seems to focus and prioritize two models, the Crosshair VI Hero and Prime X370.

The slides originate from an AMD "Meet the Experts" meeting held this morning and will bring a bit of insight into Ryzen motherboards.

This first model is a real gaming motherboard alright, suitable for overclocking and teaking as well with an advanced VRM for the CPU. It includes support for M.2-NVMe SSDs, USB 3.1 and 802.11ac Wi-Fi as well as ESS Sabre DAC and amplifier. The Prime X370 RGB has a M.2 NVMe support and USB 3.1 ports, buthere it uses a Realtek 1220 audio chip and lacks WiFi.

Both products all will see LED galore. And these are just two out of many boards released. ASUS will be fabbing X370, B350 and A320 motherboards.

Check the slides for all info, it is a good browse.

Looking at those Asus mobos, I still like Asrock ones much more.

SInce Nov 17th I am fighting 3 bricked boards ( +1 WS board ). Not nice.

Sounds like you're killing boards by your own hands(Or other faulty hardware or mishandling).

4 boards don't die by themselves. :3eyes:

I'm seriously considering one of the 8-core options for my next gaming CPU.

I really hope Ryzen lives up to the hype. They are saying one of the versions of this CPU competes with the high-end Intel-enthusiast models. I'd take one that competes even with an i7-5820 if the price is right.
