Really nice article and I'm more happy with my purchase of this motherboard, that I got yesterday, after reading this 
I went away from ITX previously, due to the limiting 16GB RAM. Although, this can have 32GB, wich is a win for me
Just a quick, probably silly question, but when you went to those 4000+ memory speeds, did you just go into the BIOS and then set it to 4000, saved and restarted? Or did you do anything else to make it run stable at that speed?.

It will work with just XMP but Id advise you working the VCCIO and System Agent volts down as low as you can one at a time

Ahh okay, cheers. My memory is only 3000MHz though, but will check it out and do
You wont be able to just expect that to hit 4K. I have seperate 3866, 4000, 4133 and 4266 kits I just use for XMP testing....

Nahh dude, as long as I can manage to get it to actually run at their advertised 3000MHz speed stable, I'm all good

Board is more than capable. It XMP'd 4266 ffs.

Yeah well since I've never really manually tried those speeds, hence asking. But good to know it does well beyond my ram speeds
I'm so with you on that one, one of the big reasons I just fell in love with it and had to have it (which also made it a perfect choice)

Agreed there, aside the ROG logo but that's just my personal preference
ttl, any chance you could get a temperature reading of the M.2 SSD while it had the cover on? Just curious to see whether it actually keeps the temperatures low like the MSI one was intended to do.

Really looking forward to the AM4 Strix boards
Me too. I'm pretty set on going RyZen for my next build assuming it's not a complete catastrophe. It'd be nice to have an AM4 version of this Strix mITX board so I can have a great looking board either way.

There isn't an ITX board that does though?...

Yup EVGA. It's pretty basic though.
It might be because of the height of the wireless card? no idea.

Ahh my bad, forgot about the Stinger.
Although not end of the world, since the Strix is nicely designed anyway. That said a cover would be welcome.
Plus most ITX cases doesn't really show off your components anyway.
