If you've been tempted by the latest AMD Ryzen CPUs but only have a small case in which to build, then the Gigabyte AB350N ITX might be the very thing.

I'd fill the tea pot to be honest. :lol:

This looks like a motherboard that only EK can fix.

I personally dont see Gigabyte bothering so it may come down to 3rd parties tbh

I doubt there will be a monoblock for this board unless the sales are insane. But it could happen.

Another one of let's just put something on market. Does anyone know when or will there ever be mATX X370 boards?

The layout is quite horrendous, I much prefer the look of Biostars X370 MITX coming out soon with a logical layout rather than something that was designed by the old toothless drunk who lives behind the wheelie bins, Hope you do a review of that

That heatsink is too small too

We need something like the Asus Maximus Impact, Now that's an MITX board done well.

That would be awful, don't even say such a thing! But I bet it would sell like hotcakes, sadly.

With a 240 or 360 rad to cool the cpu and vrm's it would be way better than air!

This is true, but I seem to have developed an unnatural hatred for AIOs since I got into custom loops. It's like I was raped with an AIO but somehow mentally blocked out the experience, so I don't actually remember the rape, but I fly into a weird rage just seeing the letters "AIO".

After seeing all the mITX AM4 offerings that are currently for sale at Newegg, I agree with Tom's comments on the video. The VRM heat-sinks are way too small. The ASRock x370 board is better. I would love a mono-block for any mITX AM4 board. They all seem to have similar design of placing the power section on the left of the CPU socket. I wonder if there could be a little block made similar to a 2 slot memory block in width and then just different mounting mechanisms for the different motherboard manufacturers.

Function over form. If a board is choking I couldn't care how the cooling was done as long as it didn't throttle or turn into a storage heater.

I was waiting for the Predator EK 140 just for reasons like a itx build as that has a pump and res in one, also being able to expand.

The thing is that they were never launched..... even so I would prefer to have a EK Predator at 120mm (single) so you could have more compatibility.
