ASRock AM4 ITX officially announced...

HeX · 29 May 2017 at 13:34

Packing all the power of AMD's new AM4 series into an astonishingly compact space-saving Mini-ITX footprint, ASRock will also be launching and demonstrating the new Fatal1ty X370 Gaming-ITX/ac and the Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac. Apart from the chilling killer design, two boards come with two HDMI outputs, 802.11ac WiFi solution, 7.1-CH with Realtek ALC 1220 codec, heatsinks that effectively improve heat dissipation and promotes overall performance.

About time. Interesting that it's X370 rather than X300. Is there any actual chipset differences, or are they interchangeable names for AM4 itx?

That Bitcoin board is the funniest thing I've seen for a long time. Got to love Asrock's shenanigans.

Anyone know or have a guess at how long it will be until these are available at retail?

+1 I am about a week from pulling the trigger on a Taichi - but a mini ITX build would be significantly more awesome if they are landing soon.

The Gigabyte ITX is due first week of July. Hopefully these shouldn't be far behind.

Can't be long now.

The boards are now on Asrock's site

Identical except the X370 one has the antenna block.

sgavan · 30 Jun 2017 at 16:48

Odd that the Gigabyte has no optical

HeX · 7 Jul 2017 at 12:30

ASRock ITX boards are now up for sale in the US, $115 for the B350, $160 for the X370.

B350 = $115 (£89*1.2) = £107
X370 = $160 (£125*1.2) = £150

They look good, more interested in the X299 one.

I hope the Gigabyte ITX boards are better than the last ones I purchased. The H170N Wifi and the X170N Wifi were shocking!

Gigabytes one out in the woods now, B350 chipset but seem to hit 3.9Ghz with Ryzen cpus and 3333 on the ram

VRM cooling on the gigabyte is apparently insufficient and exceeds thermal specs on anything but the 1500X.

The ASRock will do the same. Both have small heatsinks and the ASRock is rocking the x370 and same amount of VRMs at first look but have a feeling it's one more .
Can safely operate at 125c and hits 90c in tests . Few Gigabyte and Asus boards that don't have any VRM on cheaper b350 chipsets and do just fine on OC .
Be interesting to see both ASRock x370 and gigabyte b350 ITX under load - both for me would run same temps with their small heatsinks and be safe .
Doesn't help again tests down on open benches

Same problems as the boards I mentioned :rolleyes:

kororas · 14 Jul 2017 at 10:29

Looking forward to this board, first upgrade for nearly 7 years.

Jon20 · 19 Jul 2017 at 13:43

The B350 version is now in stock at some retailers. Have ordered one.
