Just a little comment to the author of this update. Under Asrock you have a board listed with the Xpower name, which I would assume would be by MSI.

Otherwise nice posting, please keep us up to date on these releases.

Too bad that they cheaped out on their Ryzen boards cpu VRMs (nikos mosfets), even ON their "top tier" $330 X370 xpower gaming titanium...

Works like a dream over here, I even overclocked it to 4.1 GHz 24/7. So far (out of the 3 AM4 boards I tested) the XPOWER seems the best one, based on the performance I get in benchmarks and games. I like the feature set on it as well, but I have to admit I bought the board because of the great looking silver PCB.

I don't doubt that it works well, but it is simply too expensive for the quality of the components in it (i.e. cheapest that there is)!

Titanium PCB

Why do none of them seem to have the up-to-date Chipset driver on their website? It was released last month and you can find it on AMD's site, but all of these motherboard support pages still seem to have their latest being from February or March.

That board looks absolutely awesome; one of the best looking Ryzen mobos.

The list looks substantial. This is good news for me since I haven't built my Ryzen rig yet.
