Ouuulalalaaa... :-Q Finally an interesting (non-OC) tinyWS-mATX-board for Ryzen Pro (4750G? - yeah, I know it'll be hard to get one - but on the other side the chance to find such a puppycombo in a Lenovo minitower, wouldn't surpirise me) But they should develop a 'MultiInterfaceCard’ for the PCIe x4+ slots(2 slots wide), that contains 3 x Thunderbolt and 7 x USB3.2 (3x type C and 4 x type A). :-D

The chipset has limited lanes, 1 x TB3 means you drop support for a 2nd M.2 and adding another means one m.2 shares resources with a lot of other components on the board and probably limiting the PCI-E 16 slot to only 8 lanes. Also asking for so many separate USB-C ports when you already have TB is silly since TB supports USB C. The only alternative is to introduce PCI-E switches but again its limits bandwidth to all devices and really drives up cost. Makes little sense when better platforms for such requirements exist in the prosumer category. If you need all this it's best to wait for USB 4.0 since it has support for TB3.

Was waiting for an x570 server board to hit the market and this checks all the boxes. IPMI, dual 10gbit ports, 2x M.2, 8x SATA, passive chipset cooling, 16x / 8x / 1x slots all in an MATX, nicely done Asrock!

it's a board from "Asrock Rack" and so for industry and server. so the limit to X8 isn't an issue as it is the standard in the segment, most board are even only wired in X8. why so many USB over TB? because in the segment TB cause a lot of compatibility issues and USB can be converted in RS232 (wich is important in industry) This board is really easy to get and to use, it's just an update of the X470 version they have done before (and you can get it bundled with an Athlon or Ryzen PRO if i remember)

If you like to build yourself a small home-server or NAS, this might be an interesting alternative for you for a compact build. ASRock Rack launches a MicroATX server motherboard under the name X570D... ASRock Rack Releases MicroATX X570D4U-2L2T based on X570 chipset

the miniITX version is at 444,95 euro the light mATX version (without 2T at the end) is at 275,95 euro this one mATX is at 419,95 euro price are +/- 20 euro depending on site.
