*** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***

Itx Gigabyte Ab350n WIFI, is nearing completion.

My personal thoughts are it's good to see an 8 pin cpu power socket although the location is a bit crap, and seems to have a healthy number of phases for the power reg.
Wifi is a nice feature but once again we're going to be let down by a HDMI 1.4 port, although DisplayPort 1.2 is also included.
I think this is going to be my next board

The first review of that motherboard:

A bit underwhelmed. Not terrible but just misses the mark. Wireless dual band ac and displayport are a plus but not a fan of it not having an intel NIC or USB C. Shame he didn't remove the heatsink to get a shot of the power circuitry. Useful to now how far any corners have been cut.

Think hes quite right that it will get superseded fairly easily once the full range of itx chipset boards from manufacturers appear (whenever that is).
 

Actually if you read AGESA 1006 notes, it added support for 4000mhz RAM. Unfortunately many mobo manufacturers, like ASUS, went cheap on their boards, hence they are struggling to hit 3200 most of the time.

Also this was posted for the K7 today :)
