Any one got any info on this board?

I'm getting parts together for a Mini ITX build and things are a bit sparse in the ITX range.
Only other option is the ASrock fatality but thats discontinued now.

Will OCUK be stocking this?

Was going to do exactly the same but noticed the ASrock b350 is now sold out and listed as discontinued on a competitor site which had it at the best price.

Still the x370 version about but dont really need it for an ITX

Edit, never mind it's back in stock now.

do we have a price yet though?

Is it because these boards are aimed at gamers so they assume they will be running gpu's any way?

There is a distinct lack of itx boards thought.

To be honest I'll probably go for the asrock board. The strix is going to be too expensive for what you get.

I've not heard about poor CPU sockets like you describe but i agree with the poor vrm heat sinks. Again I assume they don't put better ones on due to poor cooling in most itx cases meaning most people won't over clock the CPU any way. Even the new strix vrm heat sink will be under par it just looks fancier.

Just starting my Metis case build in the project logs. Got a lot of inspiration from your thread, didn't realise it was yours at first.
