It's about time we start seeing B450 boards, that Strix ITX board is quite nice.

I only see 2 x16 slots on the tuf plus gaming atx board.

So when do we start seeing B450 boards on store shelves? I'm actually looking to upgrade a rig to a 2600X and this could change what I plan to buy.

Look closer at the board. The x16 3.0 are the metal bracketed slots, with x1 between them. The x16 (x4) slot is black and sits at the very bottom of the board.

Thank you, I think you are looking at the strix, I meant the tuf. But it looks like they fixed the wording because it has changed from earlier.

bleh, i just gave up waiting on the b450 boards and bought a b350 last week. Oh well!

I think B450 boards will support splitting the PCIe lanes as x8/x8 for crossfire instead of the gimped x8/x4 configuration on B350. That's nice.

Why no Bluetooth 5? It's been out for a while now.

I'd love to see some decent board like this is micro-ATX format. This form factor is being largely ignored at the moment in AM4 sockets.

For single or dual graphics card systems a Micro ATX would have the room, and the X470 or B450 would make a great gaming box.

So many people these days build single graphics card systems, that ATX or larger systems just look empty.

ITX board are fully featured buy don't have room for 4 RAM slots, so a similar featured board but spaced out to fill a Micro ATX would be ideal
