We have looked at X470 motherboards from all vendors, except for MSI and today we take a look at one of MSI’s high-end motherboards, the X470 Gaming M7 AC, which is well equipped to fight it out in the high-end X470 arena. The motherboard is loaded with MSI’s latest features, and as such is well positioned to take full advantage of the new 2000-series AMD processors. Let’s take a look at this motherboard.

While we have looked at a few X470 ATX motherboards, we haven’t taken a look at any smaller motherboards for the X470 platform. Today we will take a close look at the X470GTN, a mini-ITX motherboard designed for the high-end X470 platform. While we did take a look at the X370GTN a while back, today we look at its replacement, the X470GTN.

ASUS designed the X399 ROG Zenith Extreme to be the pinnacle in terms of features and capabilities for the AMD Ryzen Threadripper processor.

Asus knocks it out of the park with the ROG Strix X370-I Gaming when it comes to Mini-ITX form factor motherboards. If money is no concern and building a water-cooled small form factor box is the goal, this Asus surpasses other boards and lands our Tom’s Hardware Editor Recommended Award for that use case.

What’s so good about the B350i Pro AC? It all comes down to the power-phase design. There are nine phases in total here (with the closest competing ITX board housing a meager six in contrast), which helps provide the additional grunt needed to balance the power from that Ryzen core. As soon as you start to take a look at those performance numbers, it’s obvious how big a difference this has made.

Now ASUS have launched their TUF branded X470 motherboard, the rather obviously named TUF X470-Plus, supporting Aura Sync RGB LED lighting, DDR4 3200MHz, 32Gbps M.2, and native USB 3.1 Gen 2. All the major technologies are in place, so it only remains for us to grab our 2nd Generation Ryzen 7 CPU and see how it stacks up against the competition.

AMD has truly made a huge comeback with their Zen architecture chips. From the entry-level market APUs over mainstream Ryzen and enthusiast Threadripper to the enterprise-level EPYC processors we’re using today.

The ASRock AB350M Pro4 is based around AMD’s B350 chipset and built into the Micro ATX form factor. This board’s small dimensions as well as its price are deceptive as the ASRock AB350M Pro4 boasts many of the features and accommodations I would expect from a full fledged X470 board. Dual M.2 slots, AMD Quad CrossFire support, full overclocking support, 7.1 channel audio, and USB Type-C are just a few of these standout features on the ASRock AB350M Pro4.

With ASUS’s ROG Strix line of products being quite popular with gamers, and AMD’s Ryzen CPU’s also gaining back quite a bit of Intel’s market share in a short time period, coupled with the demand for smaller and more efficient systems, it’s a no-brainer that ASUS would launch the updated ROG Strix X470-I Gaming. Following hot on the heels of…
