    here's to hoping Asus brings back non-Gaming TUF boards some day.

    also, keep up the good work noting the VRM MOSFETs and related chips. it's definitely appreciated and helpful in choosing a board now that i'm starting to learn what to look for!

    is that a 4+3?

    That is an American release, not a European release. Sure, you can buy it, but you'd end up paying shipping and import duties on it which probably wouldn't make it as viable as waiting a week or two.

    Interesting note from the Newegg site:

    AMD Ryzen series CPUs (Raven Ridge)
    - 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 Slot (PCIE2: x8 mode)*
    AMD Ryzen series CPUs (Raven Ridge 2)
    - 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 Slot (PCIE2: x4 mode)*

    so it looks like Raven Ridge 2 is DECREASING the amount of PCIe lanes for the PCIe x16 slot?

    With the integrated GPU, AMD may be allocating the PCI Express lanes to other things for Raven Ridge 2. This is also why we need the industry to move to Gen-Z so the CPU doesn't need to allocate specific lanes, and the bandwidth to the bus is all that matters. From there, you could configure how much bandwidth/lanes go to which slots in the BIOS, or make it dynamic based on how much is going on in your system.
