Pricing for ASUS’ X370 and B350 motherboards have now leaked

 
Pricing for ASUS’ X370 and B350 motherboards have now leaked, with the company providing overclocking support for motherboards that cost as little as $69.
 
On the high-end ASUS’ X370 Crosshair VI Hero comes with a price tag of $209, which is $20 lower than the current price of ASUS’ Z270 Maximum IX Hero at Newegg. This is a great sign that AMD’s AM4 platform will be more affordable than Z270, though it remains to be seen which will offer a superior feature set.    
 
Below is a table which details the leaked prices and specification of four ASUS AM4 motherboards, from their ROG Crosshair series all way down to their low-end Prime B350M-A.
