Ryzen Mobo Suggestion

[4330thgink]

Due to my case I'm in need of an ATX mobo that has ALL vertical SATA headers instead of having them laid down to the edge.

6+ headers. $Cheap$ is highly desirable.

It doesn't have to be pretty(will be in a 4U rack case), it doesn't have to be a great overclocker, it doesn't have to have great sound(will probably be disabled).

This will solely be for a file storage, Plex, FTP, local DNS, and other misc home server duties. While I may OC it just a little for full load needs, the majority of the time it may be underclocked.

Doh! Please move to AMD Mobo section. ...I thought I was in that section.

asus prime x370($130) or b350(90 AR) are your best options for an atx board 4 of the 6 ports are vertical.. otherwise your next best option would be to grab a pair of pcie controllers since anything beyond 6 sata ports are shared with the m.2 slots and/or are only sata 3gb/s if you wanted to use the m.2 slots.

Will an matx board allow you to use the horizontal sata ports? There are quite a few good ones that have 4 vertical and 2 horizontal but the form factor might allow you to use all of them.

Unfortunately, no..

Rack mount case with a partition between mobo chamber and drive bay area.

After looking at countless mobo's, AMD and Intel, only Intel has one with vertical headers. Figuring in price differential between AMD and Intel rigs - I'd be still under budget going with a PCIe card for more SATA ports.

Thank you!
