Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
The only thing i see missing so far is Thunderbolt 3 support. It would be nice to be able to attached super fast external storage or other peripherals to such a small powerhouse.
That's odd.. the AMD socket AM4 chipset features clearly state http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/chipsets/am4
370x USB 3.1 G2 + 3.1 G1 + 2.0 : 2+10+6
350b USB 3.1 G2 + 3.1 G1 + 2.0 : 2+6+6
Why would they not use this essential feature of the chipset? Maybe the board was originally designed...
I REALLY hope the absence of USB 3.1 gen 2 in the specifications are a mistanke as two of those are included in the X370 chipset. I have been waiting for this board since Ryzen launch and will skip if if indeed the specifications are correct.
Yeah. I'm checking this thread daily to see if anyone tried a TB3 device on the motherboard. Only need a TB3 mini-itx motherboard to finish this build.
Nice find. My 6700K and Samsung 950 Pro are still in the original boxes waiting for a Thunderbolt 3 miniitx motherboard for sweet magic to take place. *REALLY* looking forward to someone trying the port with an TB3 device.
I'm undecided between this and the Silverstone SX700. I'm mostly after a low noise unit so maybe the 120mm fan in the SX700 is the best bet, but only time will tell.
I don't understand why Intel is not pushing Thunderbolt 3 harder. There are just 5 motherboards out (full ATX) with TB3 support and the whole eGPU rollout is still very uninspired with just a few products announced at CES.
I still think eGPU is the holy grail of small form factor system and...
The Gigabyte Z170N-G5 would be a nice buy for me, but the lack of DisplayPort means i can only run my 4K screen thru HDMI at 24hz only. So annoying they put a crippled HDMI port and not a DP on this board. :(
