One needs to remember that designing mITX boards for Ryzen is very difficult, given the amount of space the bare board gives the engineers. It'd be cool to see robust I/O, and X370, but the default mounting hardware already takes up quite a good amount of space on the board.

 

Trying to picture a good layout of the board, I still can't come up with a logical, and feasible layout to accommodate a 6-phase VRM setup, two full-sized DIMM slots, a PCIe x16 slot) display outputs (for APUs supported on the AM4 platform), and a plentiful amount of USB ports (with USB 3.1 Gen.2 Types A and C, and Gigabit Ethernet).

Hi Guys, 

does anyone have any info on this peculiar situation.  I see in the board manual a very neat thing:

image.png.ab2cdf4d16535b533df89f062f6f7e18.png

 

From how I'm reading this. According to this.
M.2_1 (top one) should work in PCIE 3.0 X4 mode)

and that the bottom one

M.2_2 (bottom one) should work in PCIE 2.0 X4 mode (basically PCIE 3.0 X2)

 

I'm waiting for the board to arrive and would like to use the back slot with something like a WD Black SSD for storage and added speed opposed to the usual SATA speed and the top one for the Samsung 960 EVO for the OS

Do you really need more than one Ethernet tho? Plus this is a b350 product not x370

HyperV has trouble on my system when it comes to shared network connenctions, so it definitely isn't a board for everyone.

I very much doubt that. No way Asus would make such a mistake. I'm sure it will work fine with Asus GPU's. Of course, it won't work with backplates like this:

But ITX boards generally won't.

The Strix cards are thick too.

maybe when X470 lands, they might want to see demand before investing money into that. The strix board already looks really good.
