Ah, one decent manufacturer. Cool. Now some mATX ones. :)

The AB350M Pro4 is an matx board... The rest of the world is getting it - not seeing it anyplace in the US. What gives ASRock?

Funny thing i love this color palette: fits HAF X perfectly. This one (Fatal1ty X370 Prof. Gaming) will be my mobo of choice if ASUS won't come up with something that surpasses it, just hate how Crosshair VI Hero looks, even with all this RGB red stuff & especially with 3D printing.

Yeah, need some reviews on the integrated audio (never imagined I would say that). I may just get rid of my card. I just use optical or coax, anyway. Win10 drivers are shit for creative.

Could anyone offer an insight to the fact that the X370 Fatal1ty pro's spec page and user manual specify the maximum memory frequency at 2667 MHx? Seems awfully shy when compared to the Asus' CH Hero and MSI Titanium's 3200 MHz.

Could the AsRock's reported frequencies be only the base frequencies and not the OC frequencies? Asus and MSI clearly specify the offered 3200 MHz is when OC'd.

I had the same confusion, but it's actually just the model name that contains the confusing "AB350M" nomenclature. If you look at the specs, it has a regular B350 chipset.

The Gigabyte GA-AB350M has the same problem, unfortunately.

Asrock may be the only ones making it clear what Ram will run when all channels are filled.
Apparently the higher specced Ram will run when one or two sticks are used, but not four.
This should be fixed in a future BIOS update.

Cool. Looking around, I guess I'm a fan boy. Out of four running systems three have ASRock boards (the other is an Asus). I also recently bought an ASRock H110M-STX for a project. There was also an old Gigabyte system here, but I gave it to my sister-in-law last month.

My only issue is the limited Ryzen launch, otherwise I'd be building a 4C/8T Ryzen system for my causal brother-in-law using the PRO4. However, it'll probably end up being an i5 because it doesn't matter to him. AMD will see my money when the 6-cores and X300 drop while ASRock regularly sees my money :)

Not sure why you're talking about the chipset. The OP was referring to the board's micro ATX formfactor.

only diff i can see between x370 taichi and gaming is power+reset button

The fatality also has 5gbs network, creative audio (still on realtek 1220) and more rgb lighting around the vrm and io cover

I dont care for any of them, the network may be a bonus one day, but im in no hurry to upgrade from 1gb, and i would really rather not have the creative audio, and rgb's are for turning off:)

The Missing buttons on the taichi really bug me though, and while the intel taichi's are nice too, i'd prefer them in all black
