Biostar has added a mini-ITX motherboard compatible with the second generation of AMD Ryzen processors Pinnacle Ridge and Raven Ridge. The X470-GN looks rather similar to the previous model called X370-GTN.


The Biostar X470-GN is based on a mini-ITX form factor with two DDR4 DIMM slots. On the storage side we find one M.2 slot, four SATA ports and four USB 3.1 ports. In the case of the CPU power design we find the same implementation as on the X470-GT5 and the X470-GT3. Looking at expansion slots there is one PCIe Gen 3.0 x16 slot with metal reinforcement.

In addition, like on all the previous models, we see a Realtek Dragon LAN chip. We are quite curious how Ryzen CPUs will perform on this new little motherboard. According to the manufacturer, the X470-GN should be compatible with all AMD Ryzen CPUs, which are available and the board should work with XFR technology.
