Seeking an AMD AM4 MicroATX Mobo That Supports Dual HDMI Output
-
I don't think you will find a motherboard today that has limitations in the number of monitors you can attach to it.
So if it has two ports you can run two displays on it. If it has three you can run three displays on it.I had a look at one motherboard for the AM4 socket, Gigabyte I think, that explicitly stated that it supported three and it had VGA, hdmi and dvi.
Also pick a mini-itx card unless you have some specific reason for a microATX, for instance the number of PCIe slots or something similar.
PS. Why do you need two HDMI? Do you have specific monitors in mind?

Price. Can't find a Mini-ITX for near the price of MicroATX. Looking at around $49.

Everything that I have is HDMI. ANything else would require adapters.

If it does dual output at once, I'll just get a cable adapter and get this one...
ASRock A320M-HDV AM4 Socket MATX

As mentioned before there are no motherboards that doesn't support at a minimum two outputs - if there are two outputs on the MB. Dual and triple monitors is something everyone expects today.
From the users manual:
AB350M-HDV/A320M-HDV:
• Three graphics output options: D-Sub, DVI-D and HDMI
• Supports Triple Monitor
• Supports HDMI with max. resolution up to 4K x 2K
(4096x2160) @ 24Hz / (3840x2160) @ 30Hz
• Supports DVI-D with max. resolution up to 1920x1200 @
60Hz
• Supports D-Sub with max. resolution up to 2048x1536 @
60Hz
• Supports Auto Lip Sync, Deep Color (12bpc), xvYCC and
HBR (High Bit Rate Audio) with HDMI Port (Compliant
HDMI monitor is required)
• Supports HDCP with DVI-D and HDMI Ports
• Supports Full HD 1080p Blu-ray (BD) playback with DVI-D
and HDMI PortsNote that the resolution on D-Sub and DVI-D has is wrong above. It's the DVI that has the higher resolution.

Yeah @scottalanmiller, I just can’t imaging that the board you mention in the first post (or whichever post it was) does not actually run both outputs at the same time.
-
Awesome guys, thanks. I'll just live with a DVI to HDMI adapter, good enough. That board was so cheap (read: nothing more than what I exactly needed) that'll it'll make the most sense.

@scottalanmiller so now that you have an answer, I want to know WTF you are doing at the component level? I mean seriously. the time spent doing this intrigues me.

He wanted to reuse the processor he already had - from the looks of it.

No, just think that the A10-9700 is the right fit.

That's not what JB asked...

Well - JB asked about component level - and Scott mentioned a specific processor - I assumed (wrongly as stated by Scott's comment) that Scott had a processor he wanted to reuse - that would be why Scout COULD have been looking at components instead of whole systems.
Now that we know that Scott just picked a processor he liked - I agree with JB's question - time to look at whole system that fits the budget, don't worry about a specific processor, other than one that will get the job done.
-
I still don't know why component level was ever looked at. What is the need?
Whitebox is such a waste almost all of the time.

Agreed - who cares what processor it is, unless there was a specific need, like low power consumption, or super high flops, etc.

I was thinking more along the lines why someone is paying Scott $10,000 per hour to spec a motherboard... instead of CEO/CTO/CIO stuff.

Scott has always done this type of stuff as long as I've known him - I'm guessing he's either not paid to do it, or chooses to get paid a lot less TO do it.

So why do you care about the components? Just get something off of a shelf that meets your performance requirements.

Damnit @scottalanmiller, you just made me upvote something from @DustinB3403
