Pretty solid little board. I might be looking at an extra small build here in a bit when the new 3000 series from Nvidia do drop. I'm stoked at how small the PCB is and how it will look with a proper waterblock on it. So small hopefully I can smash one inside a m-atx/itx build with some radiator action to pair with it.

Very nice review, very nice board... too bad that there is no APU to put on it yet. Because of that and that most of the GPU board are 2 or 3 slot, so this board will fight with mATX board that are less expensive for the same thing. I hope that B550 will have soon an APU solution to exploit this card in a real small chassis (it would be really kick ass)

That board looks funny next to the radiator. Not a bad price either for such a tiny board.

Cool little board but I don't think it holds a candle at that price without more audio connectors(optical) and bios flash/reset button on the back. You can do better Asrock, I really wanted your b450's replacement.

Personally I think there should be a disclaimer on Asrock board reviews, they do not offer warranties like other companies. ASRock provides 1 year warranty service to Authorized Distributors, users should refer to the retailer or original vender RMA & Refund policy. That should influence any buyers decision. To me the cheaper price simply is not worth it.

It's the classic legal warranty... On other hand my experience with Asus and MSI with RMA are the same, both have legal 1 year (longer warranty are extra) and special price for Asus where the cost to send your product is at owner's charge for RMA after the 1 year.
