Opinions on mATX mobo for Ryzen 7

[DoctorSnoopy]

Finally Upgrading from my i5 2500k and a GTX 560 TI that died 2 weeks ago. So far I have ordered

• Ryzen 7 1700
• Corsair Vengeance 2x8gb 3000mhz
• GTX 1080 FTW Hybrid
• Currently planning to order a Fractal Define Mini C windowless

Trying to decide on which mATX board I should get. Can't decide between

• MSI B350M MORTAR
• Gigabyte GA-AB350M-Gaming 3
• Gigabyte GA-AB350M-D3H
• ASRock AB350M Pro4
• Asus PRIME B350M-A/CSM

Im not sure what makes the Gigabyte Gaming 3 $5 more than the D3H besides the PCIe slot.

In my opinion, get the one with most power phases.

According to this link

• MSI and Asus both have 6 phases
• Gigabyte has 7+1 phases
• Asrock has 9+2 phases

But, the Gigabyte boards have dual Bios. So currently leaning towards the Gigabyte or Asrock.

• Asrock has the most phases
• Gigabyte Gaming 3 seems to be the most popular board i see on forums besides the Asus which i think is just because supply is better for the Asus
• Gigabyte is about the same as the Gaming 3 as I see but has more fan headers and temp sensors

I would recommend the Asrock mobo personally.

I'm also looking at the ASRock AB350M Pro4, since only it and the MSI B350M MORTAR have type C under the mATX form, and ASRock's offering seems much better.
