AMD AM4 motherboard product suggestion thread

[cbn]

In this thread post any features you would like to see in upcoming AM4 motherboards.

Here is my suggestion:

1. ) Mini-DTX form factor with PCIe x 16 in the first position and the M.2 and PCIe x1 both in the second position.

This so the motherboard can be installed in dual slot Mini-ITX cases like the Silverstone Sugo SG-05 and the Coolermaster Elite 110 and the M.2 slot can be on the front of the board rather than on the back of the board like we see with Intel LGA 1151 Mini-ITX boards.

One nice thing about the Coolermaster Elite 110 is that it can mount two 80mm fans right there next to where the M.2 slot would be on a Mini-DTX board:

So I can imagine airflow to the M.2 SSD would be quite good even with a dual slot Video card present.

Here's hoping. Honestly, I'm mostly waiting for Zen in the hopes that it will come with some quality mini-DTX boards. Even if Zen underperforms Skylake, if the form factor happens, I would still choose it.

Zen will underperform against Skylake but the added cores will help. I feel like the IPC will be as good as Haswell but will probably end up not being able to break the 4.5ghz barrier under water.

Let's not be so hasty. None of that is substantiated.
