question about Asus x370 strix

[Asingo]

For Asus x370F strix I read many similar comments like this one :

"The board it self is pretty thin. (probably to keep cost down)"

Can this be a problem on long range? Affect board durabillity?


On the other side Asrock wrote this for their x370 k4 board:

"High Density Glass Fabric PCB design that reduces the gaps between the PCB layers to protect the motherboard against electrical shorts caused by humidity."

So thin PCB, danger of electrical shorts?

I wouldn't worry about it. ASRock is known to cut corners to achieve their price point (not always a bad thing). Their PCB design is likely just as thin as the Strix board. Motherboard margins aren't great (except maybe at the very high end). You usually get what you pay for.

Some reviews stated that Asus x370 prime (probably the same as Asus strix) pcb requries delicate touch

As I noob of PCB I imagine that more thick pcb more isolation - protection

My point is I wouldn't believe the marketing speak from ASRock. It's probably just as thin, especially in the lower range boards.
