announcement of AM4 boards in a mini-ITX environment. It’s been a while since we’ve had a top-of-the-line AMD mITX build and, after getting the missing piece while visiting Los Angeles for SIGGRAPH, it’s time to see how that actually performs in an everyday environment. To help us with this, GIGABYTE sent along their new mITX motherboard for AM4 — the AB350N-Gaming Wifi. Since I needed to remove the ASUS Z170I Pro Gaming anyhow to free up the Intel Core i7-6700k for use in benchmarks, this offered the perfect chance to test it out. It also turned out to be the perfect timing to revisit an issue we found during the original review of Ryzen, an issue specific to GIGABYTE motherboards and Ubuntu.
