The cheapest price I've observed for this board, some past discussions on a previous deal by going here

After watching an hour-long video by Buildzoid on GamersNexus (at double speed) and a few videos at Hardware Unboxed the conclusion was that if you're going to buy a cheap AMD x570 motherboard then the best pick was the ASUS X570-P, as it had a decent VRM setup that remained cooler than it's more expensive competitors from Gigabyte and MSI.

That said it is a budget board and is what I'd consider to be fairly minimal on cool features. There's no high end audio chipset, it lacks a debug LCD screen, no BIOS flashback button (meaning you'll need a CPU installed to flash BIOSes), no built in power / CMOS reset switches and no fancy RGB lighting (you'll still get 2 RGB headers with Aura Sync compat) but it'll get the job done in most scenarios.

Specs
8+4 DrMOS power stages (similar to the ROG MAXIMUS XI HERO)
4 x DDR4 Memory slots up to 4400MHz

1 x PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16 slot
1 x PCIe 4.0/3.0 x4,
3 x PCIe 4.0 x1,
2 x M.2 SATA/PCIe 4.0/3.0 Slots,
6 x SATA 6Gbps,

Rear Ports and USB:
HDMI 1.4, Gigabit LAN, 4 x USB 3.2 (Gen2) Type-A (via back panel), 6 x USB 3.2 (Gen1) Type-A (2 via back panel, 4 via internal header),
5 x USB 2.0 (2 via back panel, 3 via internal header)

7.1 Channel High Definition Audio

    Great budget board but without the BIOS flashback button and CMOS reset will be a deal breaker for myself personally. Overclocking will become a pain.

      Gigabyte Gaming X should have BIOS flashback feature that this board lacks.. CMOS clear is done through shorting the jumpers like good old days.

      Also tip: you can actually wire up the case reset switch directly to the CMOS clear jumper (only if the board uses 2 pins). Most people don't need a reset switch nowadays and if you're OC'ing it's handier to have CMOS clear button right on the front panel of the case.

        Yeah that is actually a very good idea.
        Funny thing a friend has the Gigabyte X470 Aorus Gaming Wifi 7 and a recent update bricked the main BIOS, it was pretty easy to restore with the backup available. So yeah definitely a key feature.

  • snoopydoop on 26/09/2019 - 12:15

    Does anyone have recommendations for a case for this? Something quiet and minimal ideally.

    • incipient on 26/09/2019 - 12:51

      Personally I'm a fan of the coolermaster Silencio cases. They find a nice balance of price and noise for me, and the range has expanded a bit recently.

      The reviews can be a bit middling, but normally it's people complaining about the case not excelling in any one area. I've used the 500 (i think) as my server for a good 5-10 years and it's great.

      The only real area for improvement for my model was the fans. The stock ones weren't cutting edge quiet. I stuck in some quiet Noctuas and it shaved a few db.

      The other thing would be CPU fan. If you're going quiet, use either a Gammaxx cooler for a low power CPU or if you're on a budget. Or use a Noctua D15 if you want a basically passively cooled CPU.

      GPU - without massive cost, get a AIB card with a good cooler, and tweak the fan profiles if you're really after quiet. When you're thrashing a GPU, it's going to be loud.

    The missing features you refer to are really focussed on fairly extreme overclockers (light overclockers shouldn't be pushing the envelope too much to lock the motherboard/bios!) or extreme case makers (some RGB light strips will do the job for most people).

    The only future-proofing issue I have for this is the lack of USB C ports at the back, but easily fixed with a case with a USB C port or two.

      Don't you need a USB-C front header on your motherboard for that which are even more rare?

  • atom1319 on 26/09/2019 - 13:49

    What exactly does 8+4 DrMOS power stages mean?

    • titeywitey on 26/09/2019 - 14:07

      It describes the power delivery hardware on the motherboard. If you plan to overclock a 3900x on this thing, it's something you would want to know about and do some research to pick the right board (hint, this isn't that great of a x570 board for extreme overclocking, but it's still way better than most b450/x470 boards and even some of the other x570s).

      If you plan to basically plug-n-play a processor instead, then all you need to know is that this board can handle any of the current Ryzen 3000 cpus without any issue at all.

      the ATX board is also on sale, if you bothered to look.

          sorry your comment was exceedingly vague, I wasn't certain if you wanted MATX or you thought this was only MATX - maybe you should try communicating with more than 1 syllable words to actually impart details. Or stick to flinging poop.

    thanks for the head sup on the discount, like a lot of other people I'm upgrading my system to AMD and saying goodbye to $1300 (effectively $1600 though, nice work Computer Allianace to see prices had NOT been jacked up like most other stores do when they have discount codes on ebay).

      nice.. email confirmation the parcel is on it's way.

      estimated delivery is Friday 4th October.
