I myself have the H270 version of this board and I've found it works very well in my Ncase M1.

I almost went with this board, but nobody could keep them in stock, so I went with the Asus Strix Z270 itx board instead.

Why would you want an inferior platform when you got Ryzen.

Ryzen 7 1700 8c/16t for $299 is a no brainer choice. i7 6900K for 1/3 the price.

AM4 mini itx boards are all but non existent.

Not sure what your point is on this, but Mini ITX boards only have a single PCI-E slot.

Nice board and review , thanks Thomas!

I'd add "no RGB LED" as a Pro to that list.

This was the first board I went with but then chose to go with the ASUS Z270 Strix ITX simply because of the additional M.2 slot.
