Higher memory clocks can be achieved on a motherboard with an external bclk generator.

See the Auto rules and resulting bandwidth below.



For example an M.2 drive running at Gen 2 x4 with 140 RECLK will give you 2800MB/s of bandwidth.

Still looking for SLI capable mATX.. Guess we'll have to keep waiting for more sFF options.

I feel like AsRock has the best lineup this time around.

For one they don't put RGB LED on their "Pro" line

Does Gigabyte not make UD3/5/7 anymore? I really hate the Gaming branded MB.

Aorus is still the "Gaming". I used UD3 for Z170 build and loved it. So clean. Have A88X UD4 and Z77 UD5. Always been a UD fan. X58 UD7, P67 UD3, 990FX UD3.

Yeah Designaire might be the right stuff. I hope Gigabyte make a goo ITX MB. They do not seem to bother much with ITX in Intel from what I have seen.

I hated the 990FX UD3, for ITX you'd be looking out for a X370 WIFI from Gigabyte, otherwise you''d want the "D" lineup from them, D3H, HD3P, D3, HD3 (That's the "UD" lineup now).

from what I'm seeing there will be an AM4 version of all the 1151 boards so I don't think anyone will be left out in the cold

Please add power phases (of most import to me) and a small description of the different chipsets would help, I keep forgetting if the 350 is able to OC.
Also the price is important and there are alot of leaks on that as well. Mem speeds where available.

Pricing is still largely unavailable atm (still unconfirmed), mem speeds are only available on the Biostar boards, 2 x MSI ones (still not confirmed) and the Hero.

I'll have a look around and see what I can find, I wouldn't get your hopes up though

Yea, had an old Biostar board with some FX cpu years ago and that TF2 board was a monster, holding out for a good matx board from Gigabyte though.

Also praying these vrm setups are gonna be adequate, it's a bit worrying after BD.

I saw a bunch of that info yesterday, it's all in the threads on OCN. Just put a question mark on unconfirmeed info.

If you want to make a thread like this you have to correlate all the info, pictures don't cut it we need real info.

When it comes to Phases, Moar is almost always better the range I've seen is 7 to 16. The mosfet types are important as well. 7 crappy fets and you see a nice little fire.

Motherboard TDP ratings and how they relate to VRM quality
Motherboard TDP ratings and how they relate to VRM quality (Click to hide)

A lot of people claim that their boards are rated TDP (measure of processor heat output, but rough indicator of power consumption) at 125W-140W and it's still safe to run that processor on that board. Not that you should take these ratings with a grain of salt, but you should be reminded that all motherboards are ratified in TDP capability, with processors at stock speed and with the stock cooler installed.

At stock CPU speed and with the stock cooler (air blows past the heatsink fins and onto the board, so some air gets to the VRM area and other motherboard components for cooling) you are within that TDP limit. When you overclock or use any aftermarket CPU cooling that is not downward-blowing, you're then exceeding these limits, which may bring additional heat and instability into the VRMs (though this can be fixable with MOSFET heatsinks and fan). Overclocking is usually associated with many tower heatsinks that blow over the motherboard; this removal of VRM cooling may significantly increase chances of catastrophe. In a sample, 70% of all VRM failure incidents happened with aftermarket CPU cooling installed.

Motherboards with lower phase count and lower rated transistors usually have VRM systems that run hotter and are more prone to failure. Heat causes a lot of VRM problems including unstable power delivery and even fire hazard. Proper MOSFET/VRM cooling may help, and some boards allow you to monitor VRM temps (i.e. TMPIN2 on HWMonitor on some Gigabyte boards - for your board it may depend, TMPIN2 may exist or may not at all and it may not even be VRMs). Though different VRM systems may be rated for temperature differently, ideally the temperature should be the same as the CPU load (i.e. my VRMs load at around 60, with my CPU tagging along at slightly lower than that). Typically, proper VRM cooling installed will allow for higher TDP capability as the VRMs can run under less heat and stress - as a result the TDP is rated higher than usual for stock speed operation.
