Whatever floats your boat i guess.

What in the world could you strap onto a mainstream consumer board that we don't already have and is useful/appropriate for this market segment?
I'd like to see more refinement in core areas of the design (VRMs, etc.) but more "bells and whistles" I can't think what they'd be.
B450 have already had the bios updates released...have you checked?
U.2 ports
10gbit LAN ports
more SATA ports
external cmos reset button
These for a start
I hear you, which is why I'm making my own single 8-pin for a custom front panel PCB, but it'll only work for my Maximus VIII Impact. But yes motherboard vendors would need to standardise their pin outs for a single keyed 10-pin connector to work. I like the idea of Asus's Q Connector, but it's bulky.I would like to see case designers and board vendors work together to make a new standard for the leds/switches so its one big connector you connect instead of multiple tiny fiddly wires.
Hoping to see higher quality motherboards for X570, would like to see a few more bells and whistles
appears to be practically non-existent though...AMD has needed to reduce potential IPC improvements
m.2 with a cable, basically
Aesthetics is entirely up to the beholder, I feel as though the vast vast majority of people really don’t care about these excessive shrouds though.
As long as the thing has decent vrms and features... it doesn’t matter to me, much like phones nowadays, it’s just trimming the edges and adding a few hundred dollars because ‘new’.
I wouldn’t mind a very simple shroud if it wasn’t flashy for the sake of it, that’s very much down to full custom builds imo.
keep the M.2 drives cool
lol. clearly forgotten.No one would put them there out of nowhere and without thinking about it.
Those "excessive shrouds" are thermal guards to keep the M.2 drives cool and safe. No one would put them there out of nowhere and without thinking about it.
That’s not what I’m talking about, it’s the unnecessary crap around the io port, random parts that make little difference to me, sometimes they’re truly well too big and I just wonder why...
It covers the naked, ugly PCB
What's the deal with everything RGB now?
I'd rather have more boards move the focus away from gamers and offer more enterprisey/prosumer type features, like the Supermicro/Asus/Asrockrack Xeon E3 type stuff but for AM4.
E.G Better NICs, less bling, more storage options, better support for remote management, more consistent support for PCIE bifurcation etc etc
Only one board offers this on AM4 - and it's not even available yet (Asrockrack X470D4U)
