    Needs more blur - can still see too many details

    I think there's one of those weedy little fans in the back shroud, under the branding.

    I think it would be smart to wait for some refresh designs later in the year to see if any manage to cool the chipset passively. Back in the 90's/00's a lot of boards came with these tiny fans and they were very often the fist thing to die in a system.

    I used to stock those mini fans (probably still have some).

    If they're standard 40mm that'd be great. Slap a noctua 40mm on there and call it a day. But I have my doubts. It's probably a 37.2mm fan or some other horrible unorthodox size.

    Seriously. Taken with a Huawei P30 Pro and it's still this blurry? I know you guys are moving quickly booth-to-booth and only have so much time to snap a pic but at least take 2-3 pictures real quick so you at least get one clear photo.

    I'm not usually one to complain about photos since "gets the point across" is good enough, but this is pretty bad. I've taken better photos on my refurb LG Rebel 3 phone that cost me all of $10 USD. Anandtech must be a shoestring budget if its not equipping its people with a cheap point-n-shoot for Computex.

    Prob did burst mode, and just uploaded the first blurred pic instead of corrected one it shows.

    Are PCIe Gen 4.0 M.2 slots backwards compatible with Gen 3.0 NVME drives?
  • Reflex - Friday, June 14, 2019 - link

    Yes

    Did I (and Asus) mis-count? I only see 4 SATA ports, not 8.
  • pancakes - Friday, June 14, 2019 - link

    Spec sheet only shows 4 sata ports
  • rocketscience315 - Friday, June 14, 2019 - link

    right, text of article says 8
  • TheTechnoPilot - Tuesday, October 1, 2019 - link

    Yeah I'm wondering this myself as I personally need at least six for which ever x570 itx board I upgrade too from my current and jumped all over this until I read Asus' own spec sheet...

    Using the B350-I in my current rig and I have no complaints. Lots of features, perfectly stable. Glad to see the line continuing.

    hdmi 2.0 for $500+?
    No, thanks

    You are confusing the CPU price with the motherboard price. This series of boards typically runs $120-170 depending on the version 550 vs 570).

    A board like this you would typically pair with a dedicated graphics card, not an APU. You would care about HDMI version on the graphics card, not the motherboard. Also, honestly for a PC you should be using DisplayPort if possible anyway.

    This is definitely not a $150-170 motherboard - that stack of daughterboards as tall as the rear I/O alone can guarantee that (not to mention the reported $40 BOM cost of the chipset). The cheapest ATX X570 boards with leaked prices so far are about $160-170. This is a premium ITX board, and will cost far more than an entry ATX board. I'd be shocked if this was below $200, and not very surprised if it was above $300. Still, it looks like an excellent option for those of us not wanting to spend $600 or more on that DTX one. I'll likely be getting this, unless the price is completely bonkers.

    It's gone up slightly since I purchased mine (just glanced at Newegg), but not all that much. The X470 version, which is just as feature packed as this one, is currently $206 on Newegg (MSRP was $209.99). The B450 version is $165.

    I would expect the X570/B550 to run the same prices, they are drop in replacements and the features are at parity aside from the chipset.

    knowing asus I can sure say pricetag be high
  • mooninite - Saturday, June 15, 2019 - link

    I wish this had a 2.5/5 or 10Gbit NIC. All of the big brother ATX boards are starting to get them standard.
  • wilsonkf - Saturday, June 15, 2019 - link

    I wonder if Wifi 6 standard is finalized or not?

    i don't have much experience with mobos per se, as i see it, if i need a mobo for PhotoShop i should go for gaming boards.
