In particular AMD’s B450 chipset offers high-performance mini-ITX computing at a reasonable price point and sacrifices very little compared to the more costly AMD X470 chipset. As such motherboard vendors can build high-spec mini-ITX motherboards at competitive price points, the ASUS attempt of which is the ROG Strix B450-I Gaming.

The board features a fairly lowly 4+2 phase power delivery, and with fewer heatsinks than the B450 Aorus Pro, we’re likely looking at a board that will get pretty toasty with an overclocked eight-core Ryzen CPU – more on that later. There are a few other niggles with the specifications too that mean this is likely only going to appeal to low budgets.

The B360M-ITX/ac includes Wi-Fi capabilities, USB 3.1 (10 Gbps) Type-A ports, as well as a M.2 slot. Those who are looking for RGB LED support will also have to look elsewhere as the board does not have any integrated, nor headers on the board supporting it. Users will have to bring the bling from elsewhere.

The X399 Aorus Extreme is absolutely bristling with features and high end technology, from the inclusion of three M.2 connectors through to three RJ45 connectors. “Three LAN ports?”, we hear you cry. Yes, dual Intel Gigabit LANs are matched by a 10GbE Base-T LAN.

I responded carefully, immediately aware of what this board should offer. Here, we have a chipset that restricts performance-tuning options like overclocking and memory speeds above 2666 MHz, so this ASRock Fatal1ty H370 Performance board is clearly for those more interested in the non-K Intel CPU SKUs, which aren’t exactly what we enthusiasts would consider “performance-oriented”.

There haven’t been too many new X399 boards released despite a new range of Threadripper CPUs landing (with more to come), but both MSI and Gigabyte have decided to launch halo products that sit high above their other X399 boards, and today we’re looking at Gigabyte’s – the X399 Aorus Xtreme.

The best Z370 board we’ve tested for the Micro-ATX form factor, the ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming has sufficient features and overclocking capabilities to meet our performance and value goals. But the need for additional voltage regulator cooling stops it short of broader recommendation.

MSI demonstrated perfect timing when they introduced the MEG X399 Creation at Computex. AMD announced the 32-core 2990WX Threadripper at the start of Computex then MSI followed up with this X399 motherboard that uses 16-phase VRMs that promise a new level of power delivery.

Gigabyte’s X399 motherboard range previously topped out with the X399 Aorus Gaming 7 and X399 Designare EX, both of which are rock-solid boards that I’ve had the pleasure of using on the bench and in system builds.
