no research given they are not out for review yet.

Yes, I know mate I'll post links to reviews as they appear.

Personally, I'm looking for the top ITX board but fear there will be nothing available to do the 3900x justice. Next step would be a mATX board and that's the space that could be more interesting as AM4 has not previously had any real choice for mATX. It may well be that the only feasible choice for 3900x will be ATX.

Plenty research to be done as information becomes available. :)

ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Impact (technically DTX) but should handle 3900X no fuss: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-Crosshair-VIII-Impact/

Cheaper end the ASUS ROG Strix X570-I Gaming looks to be a solid contender: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-Strix-X570-I-Gaming/overview/

Asrock have an it's board as well with Intel socket fittings which is kina interesting. If I was to pick without seeing reviews I would go with Asus x570 impact. I love my Asus maximus 8 impact, been a great board so far.

I currently have the x470i so I'm not sure the x570i will offer much more other than the ability to RAID 0 the M.2 drives and PCIE 4?

I'm assuming the Impact will have better power delivery and that'll interest me as I'm going for the top CPU, but I'll struggle to get it into my case without sacrificing a radiator+fans.

@orbitalwalsh cheers, Bud. I'm also awaiting ASRock info as I've had an ITX X99 Fatal1ty in the past and it was solid.

z390 ITX from them used 5 x ISL99227B 60A units . ASrock has always used differing brands of Mosfets to the other 3 big vendors and dont think this will change .

Guessing most like 6 X ISL99227B 60A with a new PWM controller , z390 was ISL69138 and only a 7 channel - ASRock has already stated its 6+2 so not compatible and they wouldnt use doublers . IR35201 is more likely the controller to be used, same as their flagship ATX boards and handle 6+2 configs .

Looking at 360A across the Vcore . Aorus is 420A and Strix is 320A.

ASRocks Thunder Bolt 3 is a nice touch though!

wonder if ASRock has dropped the £20 note in RMA shipments ? hehe

Would you say that in terms of power delivery, the Aorus ITX will be the top choice? Given that I'm looking to drop in a 3900x then I wouldn't want to see the most power hungry of then line up (so far) held back.

have to see the Impact , features same VRM , 70A beasts as Aorus. Believe it is 8+2 vs the Aorus - its the controller thats the blank area ..

Aorus are the only ones to use 16 phase PWM controller , MSI and Gigabyte use IR35201 . ASUS used ASP1400CBT VRM in the Hero/Formula didn't go down well.

MSI new 14+2 Godlike uses IR3599 VRM controller.

Phase multiplier - @tamzzy - asus could use this and correct their Z390 mishap

Asus ITX boards are either using Doublers on the Mosfets or Phase Multiplier controller- roughly meaning 2/4 power phases plug directly into one PWM chanel to achieve 8+ phases for Vcore .
Aorus would be better then the Strix, handles more power and in a better way. as for Impact, on theory Aorus could be better on how it delivers the power, even though Impact takes more amps across the VCore . Then it boils down to cooling and such .
Gigabyte have the better Customer service and RMA being UK based, but asus with Bios

seems like you'll be pumping 1.4v + on 12 cores :D

IMO it's highly likely the the X570 Taichi is the best high end relatively reasonably priced board. Reasonable chance that the Taichi Ultimate that the Aqua is based is best full stop.

Taichi / Ultimate were best X370/470/399.

I agree with you. It seems the Taichi the best "reasonably" priced top of the range for OC. (< £300)
Also seems has the highest ram support 4666!!!!!!!

https://www.anandtech.com/show/14451/asrock-unveils-new-x570-taichi-wifi-6-ddr44666-support

As much as liking the Aqua, I would have spend £500 maybe £600 on it. But hell not spending $1000.

Which ofc seems the Aqua is a bargain considering the pricing of the flagships CH8 & Aorus Xtreme & MEG. At £600 are bad value for money, regardles as much as I like the CH8 monoblock or the heatpipes extending all way to the SB on the Aorus Xtreme.

As it's relatively no-frills, hopefully the Taichi will be £300 or less. The Phantom this time seems to be the higher SKU, Taichi but with frills.

Only thing I don't like about the Taichi this time is that they've gotten rid of the understated colour scheme and design language. Hopefully they bring it back for the Ultimate ... which I can't imagine will launch before they've sold out of the Aqua. Because it'll probably be half the price, and be the same 16 phase setup (Taichi is 14).

The Aqua is a limited edition halo product, so the price is somewhat expected.

I'll likely get the X470 Taichi Ultimate if it's not going to be held back on the memory front.
