The only thing i see missing so far is Thunderbolt 3 support. It would be nice to be able to attached super fast external storage or other peripherals to such a small powerhouse.

That's odd.. the AMD socket AM4 chipset features clearly state http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/chipsets/am4 370x USB 3.1 G2 + 3.1 G1 + 2.0 : 2+10+6 350b USB 3.1 G2 + 3.1 G1 + 2.0 : 2+6+6 Why would they not use this essential feature of the chipset? Maybe the board was originally designed...

I'm getting this board as the Ryzen mini-itx boards unfortunately are lacking way behind. Can't wait for it to hit retail.

I REALLY hope the absence of USB 3.1 gen 2 in the specifications are a mistanke as two of those are included in the X370 chipset. I have been waiting for this board since Ryzen launch and will skip if if indeed the specifications are correct.

Shipping Jan 2018? Is that a conservative if everything fails estimate or the real expected delivery date?

Yay! Finally an ITX motherboard with Thunderbolt 3! I'm getting this one.

Nobody tried a thunderbolt 3 device on the Gigabyte Z170N-Gaming 5 yet?

I have a Danish VAT number. Can you deduct the german VAT if I provide you my number on ordering, (which is normal practice btw.)?

Yeah. I'm checking this thread daily to see if anyone tried a TB3 device on the motherboard. Only need a TB3 mini-itx motherboard to finish this build.

Nice find. My 6700K and Samsung 950 Pro are still in the original boxes waiting for a Thunderbolt 3 miniitx motherboard for sweet magic to take place. *REALLY* looking forward to someone trying the port with an TB3 device.

I'm undecided between this and the Silverstone SX700. I'm mostly after a low noise unit so maybe the 120mm fan in the SX700 is the best bet, but only time will tell.

Still no Thunderbolt 3 mini-itx board. Hopefully that will change when the Razer Core is released and everyone will be talking about TB3 based eGPU.

I don't understand why Intel is not pushing Thunderbolt 3 harder. There are just 5 motherboards out (full ATX) with TB3 support and the whole eGPU rollout is still very uninspired with just a few products announced at CES. I still think eGPU is the holy grail of small form factor system and...

The Gigabyte Z170N-G5 would be a nice buy for me, but the lack of DisplayPort means i can only run my 4K screen thru HDMI at 24hz only. So annoying they put a crippled HDMI port and not a DP on this board. :(

Such a shame all the tablets coming out with TB3 all have the Intel Core M processor. :(
