As M.2 NVMe SSDs get ever more attractive through affordability, capacity and performance, it is certain that these lightning fast storage devices will soon be a must have solution for gaming or even everyday use. ASRock has seen this trend and went all out to be the first to include the M.2 heatsink as standard equipment for the mainstream motherboard, the B365 Phantom Gaming 4 even has two separate M.2 heatsink for secondary high speed M.2 SSDs.

It's not only the Apex boards that have a non-standard PCB shape. Asus has recently also started to apply it in the TUF series ;)

Ah! TUF boards haven't been interesting after they lost that premium status after Sabertooth boards. :p

Still, the colors of that Gaming boards brings immediatelly Apex boards to my mind. :D

I think for me the most interesting part about these new B365 boards is not extra PCIe lanes or absent USB3.1, but rather RAID support out of the box (both PCIe NVME and SATA).
Would be an interesting option for a future work PC upgrade, if I don't go team Red before it becomes available.

Yes. It's in QVL.

Are they ready, right?
