Second (Not Junky) AM4 Motherboard Spotted

[alamox]

thats fake apparently

[Djole123]

Wait a second, is that a 24+8 pin power connector?

Interesting placement for the power ports

Even more interesting placement of the SATA ports, a fairly large hsf and you've lost SATA connectivity entirely? 

[Thony]

That socket section is large as fuck ! It better be for 32/64 core CPU.

[You_are_a_cunt]

Hm, I just hope old(er) AM3 coolers/pumps are compatible with the "new" mounting bracket, 'cause I don't really want to buy a new AIO (or spend half a year's worth of paychecks on a custom loop)

That had more to do with the fact you needed room for more than 1 chipset + the power delivery.

No it was because you needed a ridiculously powerful set of VRMs and giant heatsinks to go with them. When I had an mATX AM3+ board, I overclocked my FX 6300 to 4.2GHz. The measly 4+1 phase VRMs did not like me.

 

The main reason why there never has been a mini itx AM3+ board.

Was simply because there was no real market for it.

And yeah spacing would also had been an issue.

But It would not have been impossible to do.

The only problem is that it would have cost way too much money to develop it.

And there was no market for it anyways.

 

Same can be said about m-atx am3+ boards.

The main reason why there not have been highend micro atx am3+ boards, is simply because there was no market for it.

With vrm components today, it would not be any issue to implement something like a 6+2 phase design on a micro-atx AM3+ board.

They could simply use a IR35201 8+0 phase flexmode pwm, run it in 6+2 phase mode.

Or an ISL6379 / 6388 6+1 phase implementation.

Since NB could basicly run on 1 phase.

But yeah like i said, it would cost way too much money to develop, and there is a not big enough market for it.

Because nobody would spend allot of money on a micro atx AM3+ board anymore.

24-pin ATX connector with the 8-pin EPS connector located next to it. It's just not something we're used to seeing on larger boards.

I would be their market. I know a lot of other SFF guys on other forums who would have loved an FX processor on mITX.

Oh ok. They are so close together I thought the CPU would pull 300W...

[DocSwag]

I kinda feel bad since I thought it was real but it turned out to be a huge hoax...

So funny though! Wccftech got totally rekt on this one!

 

I guess none of us noticed that summit ridge has a cutout in the middle with no pins in it but that that CPU socket has pin spaces in the middle...l

 

Well that just took wccftech down a few notches on my trust-o-meter, not that they were high up on it in the first place!

Some one took a shot of the pins, when lisa su was holding it. It has pins in the middle. Can't seem to find that pic.

 

Edit: it has no pins in middle

This is true of AM sockets, but there have been ITX and Mini-ITX FM socket boards. Which is the closer relative than the earlier AM series.

There were DTX boards the fit in a fair amount of ITX cases. There is also a singular AM3+ DTX board that I have in an itx case.

There is an AM3+ DTX board that fits inside many ITX cases. Ive built a machine from it myself with an 8350.

I wish dtx came back and more GPUs only have IO on 1 side so you can build a ITX sized dual GPU water-cooled  rig

I believe Shuttle PC uses DTX boards

Thats correct, something from ECS.

but its an AM3 board not an AM3+ as far as i know.

I posted a link of me running an 8350 in it o_o;;

I wouldn't be surprised if he's being paid by wccftech or is one of the wccftech staffs' alternate account lol

Man alive, that is some nasty placements indeed.

This image is so poor quality it might just be a fake.

Looks like Hassan has came out of his hiding hole and wrote a new article on the GTX 1060. Most just show the leaked pic, he goes further by pulling numbers out of thin air. There are rumor on the specs for GTX 1060, but no one is saying, this is what they are, expect for him.
