By the way, R7 1700 is 500h/s in XMR, https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/monero-mining-performance.12116/

Does anyone has these mobos and can test them for mining?

I'm tempted to go with the cheapest ryzen cpu when Vega launches (Ideally 4C4T, but it might not launch before vega). It brings some XMR mining ability, the ability to cpu mine new coins and handle high cpu load unoptimized miners (like in the early days of zcash) and imo, slower depreciation and easier resell of the cpu and mobo. It will be good to know if 6 gpus work.
I have that Asrock AB350 and I've used it for mining before sending it off to a cousin of mine for gaming purpose only but don't ever try investing on that CPU for mining, 500hs in XMR won't give you any joy and you will be wasting electricity for pennies, how about getting GPUs like RX580 8gb editions?
