I'm following the discussion with very interest. So i'd like post 2 question about the other z370 mATX:
ASRock Z370M Pro4, Gigabyte Z370M D3H, MSI Z370M GAMING PRO AC i noticed they are without WIfi ngff card a part MSI but is full of USB Type A and no 3.1. Is it more hackintoshable(XD) the asus for you or there is somenthing else apart the higher price :-D? And Did u enable the type A? I see you remapping well by your pic u posted but no about that. Sorry for several questions but it's christmas time for hackintosh gift lol.
I looked at those motherboards too. Here are my observations:
ASRock Z370M Pro4
10 Power Phase VRM
No USB 3.1 Gen 2
No M.2 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth
No DisplayPort
Gigabyte Z370M Gaming PRO AC
Weak VRM
No USB 3.1 Gen 2
No M.2 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth
No DisplayPort
MSI Z370M
USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports
M.2 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth
4x SATA
Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (Wi-Fi AC)
USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports
M.2 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth
DisplayPort
6x SATA
My second choice would have been the MSI. The only weak point I saw was 2 fewer SATA ports compared to the other. This is something I could have easily rectified with a PCI-e card.
When mapping out the USB ports, we don't have to worry about mapping the USB 3.1 Gen 2. The USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports are working fine on my build.
