are ATX boards made from higher quality components than mATX ones? or they just differ in size and number of slots?

it depends

 

but if i take a pro4 for example: in that case they're no different for the list, but just have a different size and slots

 

but there are examples that are better or worse on different form factor

I think I will buying  ASRock B365M Pro 4  Motherboard with i5 9400f. Any pros and cons about this motherboard?

Pro will be cheap but not barren in features? Also being renamed B150/B250 based on 22nm it supports old Windows with tweaks.

OK,  is there better than this ASRock B365 without bent wallet, and latest BIOS firmware to support 9400F?

ASRock B365M Pro4 motherboard cost $69.99 at Newegg. So I looking between $70 - $130 motherboard that latest BIOS firmware to support 9400F.

I cant see that deal from PCPartPicker, but I can see this

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813144161&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker, LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

unlike B365 though B360 is older and there is a slight chance it doesnt have 9th gen support. Why 9400F though? It's not that fast, not that cheap, and there's no iGPU so one less advantage to Ryzen and non F Coffee Lakes.

I am into gaming, not streaming. And i5 8400, 8500, and 8600  costs 40 to 80 dollars more than 9400F.

i can't follow that one... you're not getting more theads because you aren't using them for a certain workload, while gaming can utilize them too?

 

that's a first timer

Technically he's right, 9400F is a better gaming chip than the R5 2600 even when overclocked and using high frequency memory, but LGA 1151's upgradability is quite limited when only the i7 (about 20% gains on average) makes sense without overclocking (the board doesnt support OC). The i9 simply wont drop in price just like older i7s like the 4790(k). Not a good value choice in the long run.

Where does it fit in the list? At face value it seems to be very similar to the Ultra Gaming, just with a tad more RGB and a Wi-Fi card.

Ay, missed it, sorry!

I though it was on par with the X370GT7, it does encourage me getting rid of mine...

you may or may have noticed it has voltage problems... and since I'm purely basing on vrm and problems, it comes out low

Mine doesn't but my friend's GT8 does, the voltage on his is all over the place.

Mine is beyond annoying with RAM, some kits it doesn't boot with.
