Thanks for this review Hilbert! Ever since the release of Ryzen been looking to go mini-ITX factor. Time to make a coffee and 'work'.
@Hilbert Hagedoorn: on your conclusion page you mention 'You can mount a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti on there if you wanted too, as well as two super fast NVMe M2 SSDs.' doesnt that mean however, you would need to push the GPU back to x4 mode? How much would this impact gaming performance..?

Asus seems to have made a lot of odd priorities for this board:
1. The layout it weird, especially the SATA ports.
2. There was definitely room to have 6 audio jacks, but they only fit 3. They could've at least provided a connector for SPDIF.
3. I understand B450 chipsets aren't available yet, but X470 seems overkill.
4. Only 1 HDMI port? There was room for another display connector.
5. No USB type C?
There are boards with half the price that have more/better features than this.

I would love to have seen this build in a Mini-ITX case with thermals. 🙂

And once again, another worthless motherboard review at Guru3D. Considering the fact that I have been following the website for a very long time, I feel ashamed to recommend any of its motherboard reviews to anybody.

Hilbert puts so much into his reviews and makes a point of reading the comments section, very often responding to sensible ideas.
Kinda leaves your comment feeling rather empty... and rather mean considering the huge amount of effort he puts into Guru3D.
@schmidtbag
SPDIF seems great for stereo and some people's amplifiers, but it does not have the bandwidth for HD surround sound. Are they ever planning any updates for it?
( I was forced into SPDIF by my MSI laptop which went out of it's way to disable surround sound channels via HDMI, many people have this issue with various models of MSI gaming laptops. The Latest Win10 17134.1 build fixed HDMI surround audio over HDMI on my laptop btw for anyone interested )

I can't find this motherboard available anywhere. Everywhere is out of stock or backorder. Do you guys know when it'll be released?
