A look at the Z270 Taichi and the Fatal1ty Z270 Professoinal Gaming i7:
Of the Z270 ATX boards, only the Supercarrier has Thunderbolt 3 with two type-C connectors. The rest are USB 3.0 or 3.1. Full list below:
USB 3.1 type-C boards (ATX):
Z270 Gaming i7
Z270 Taichi
Z270 Gaming K6
Z270 Extreme4
All other ATX boards (B250/H270 included) are USB 3.0 (but still have type-C connectors)
USB 3.1 type-C boards (mATX):
Z270M Extreme4
All other mATX boards except B250M-HDV are USB 3.0 with type-C.
The Z270 Gaming-ITX/ac also comes with one Thunderbolt 3 port with a type-C connector.
Hello,
I have a couple of questions,
Will the AMD get the OC Formula treatment?
Will the Z270 get the OC Formula treatment?
I'm a fan.
We understand your frustration, but at the same time the manual and website states that specifications and features are subject to updates and/or change at any time. The board works with the features promised in the original configuration with CPUs that were available at the time of launch, i.e. Haswell. If Intel makes a change in a future product that the board wasn't originally designed for, the options are to either leave the broken feature in and pretend it works, or remove it altogether - we've opted for the latter, as we simply can't guarantee functionality with Haswell Refresh or later.
We've forwarded your feedback however, and once more apologize for the inconvenience caused.
In a word - yes. 4096x2160 (full 4K as you mention) is a movie theater thing, and HDMI 1.4 supports 3840x2160 (consumer "4K") at 24/25/30Hz.
BIOS updates very rarely go wrong nowadays, and there's been lots of updates from a v1.xx BIOS to 3.xx for sure. Even though the problem might not be related to the BIOS, you're extremely unlikely to make anything worse.
A closer look at the SuperCarrier:
There's plenty of tiny fixes that go into the updates - we don't have a public list of these, the major ones are listed publicly.
They're firmware updates for the USB controller(s). These generally include bug fixes for certain (very rare) issues as well as stability/performance related optimizations.
Normally there's a few ports that are always on (for charging purposes), and a bunch that aren't. A simple solution would be to switch USB ports, another one would be changing the USB port behavior in BIOS under power options.
Warranty-wise, if something goes wrong, your first step is contacting the dealer. Normally our dealers are committed to supporting our products throughout the warranty period (3 years for select boards, 5 years for OC Formula), so you shouldn't need to worry about contacting anyone else.
In case the dealer refuses (or doesn't exist anymore) and the board is within the warranty period, the next step is to submit a ticket here: http://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp
Once we've had a look at the case, you'll get an RMA number, and the board needs to be shipped to The Netherlands, where it'll be 3-7 business days until you get it repaired or replaced.
No news is good news as far as a support thread goes, but now it's our turn to share a little something with you - namely the Z270 Extreme4 review over at KitGuru: http://www.kitguru.net/components/motherboard/ryan-martin/asrock-z270-extreme4-motherboard-review/
Perfect if you're looking for a board without gaming bling, as Ryan Martin so eloquently puts it: "The Z270 Extreme4 is a polished and well-balanced motherboard that should satisfy any consumer who has grown sceptical of the gaming motherboard. ASRock ticks nearly all the boxes expected for a mid-range motherboard and at a competitive price."

Actually - I do have a list of AM4 boards that will be available by launch, and it doesn't include any ITX boards, I'm afraid. On the other hand, I've heard the same will be true for pretty much everyone else.StarShock;30479649 said:

Skylake-X is too far ahead in time to even speculate. As usual, if it's possible, it will be done, but definitely no definite answers on that question at this stage.
As we're sure you understand, we're limited in what our partners allow us to share about upcoming platforms. There will be boards, they won't be that many at first, but they should cover most bases, ranging from lower mid-range to high-end.SiDeards73;30489181 said:

We'll look into this - thanks for the heads-up.
Noted - you're right indeed. Will forward this info to the people designing the stuff.Asrock Rep, please pass this feedback on, the battery on the Taichi board is offset in the black circle, this kinda ruins the aesthetics of the board, yeah i know, it will be in a case, often without a window, but still, many of us have windowed cases and like to show off our rigs, that battery placement is a bit of an eyesore!
A quick fix could be to have some form of black cap that sits over the top of it to mask the silver battery against the black background, issue solved! Long term it might be an idea to either move the print on the board to align up a bit better, or move the battery socket to a more aligned point
Anyhow i thought i would let you know, quite a few people have commented this is a major turn off for them, i know right? bit childish etc, but it is what it is, people care about aesthetics
It'll be similar to other new platform launches - there will be ITX boards later on, but not initially.
For your ASRock AM4 needs, we have a microsite:
http://www.asrock.com/microsite/AMDAM4/
As some of you might already know, our initial X370 lineup includes the X370 Killer SLI/ac, Fatal1ty X370 Gaming K4, the X370 Taichi as well as the Fatal1ty X370 Professional Gaming - specs can be found at the bottom of the link above.

Once the boards are properly launched, we will be able to answer the RAM questions better. Please bear with us.
As it stands now, yes. Hopefully there will be an update on this by the official launch as the X370 boards move to a much higher price range than previous boards, but our current info is 2 years, like AM3 boards.
BIOS updates don't correlate to warranty periods - there's always new versions coming as long as there are bugs to fix, whatever the board. I would definitely not worry about BIOS support.
Just got a test report on some DDR3-3200 kits that work just fine on the Taichi and the Professional Gaming, and 2933MHz kits for the remaining boards - I believe AMD restricts this information pre-launch, official support is for 2667MHz.Nice, couple of questions
Other vendors seem to have better DDR4 Support even reaching upto 3600mhz i believe? Does Asrock plan on being able to offer upto or over 3000mhz Ram support? your official site just shows 2666mhz
Why so much red on motherboards? i personally hate red as a colour, would much prefer blue or white LED's as seen on Taichi
Are there more X370 motherboards expected? and more B350 motherboards? If so when are we likely to hear about them?
Same caps and MOSFETs, yes.
The higher pricepoint is compared to 990FX boards, as the entire platform moves to a more premium point in the market thanks to the CPUs and chipset pricing.
Exactly what happens to the pricing will become clear by launch, we have no info on it at this point. Good thing it's very soon though, we're curious too on the marketing side.
There should be a bunch of X370 boards coming in later this week, we're told.
