Asus has some of the largest selection of motherboards and we have the minuscule ASUS ROG Strix B550-I motherboard on the test bench. The ROG Strix B550-I is a mini ITX motherboard which is great for small builds. Over the last few generations, ITX boards have been able to meet the performance of their full-size counterparts and the Strix B550-I aims to keep this trend going.

Though looking similar to its immediate predecessor, the improved 8+2-phase power stages have chunkier heatsinks on this time around, though as anyone who follows motherboards closely knows, there’s really no need for elaborate cooling for anything other than seat-of-your-pants overclocking, which goes against the grain of this board in any case.

Stylistically, the Tomahawk series has turned towards the PRO models , with characteristic geometric eyes on the heat sinks and the grille, discreetly giving way to more fancy designs – MPG Gaming Edgeand MPG Gaming Carbon , available only in WiFi variants (which the MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk does not have).

The Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO should be considered a mainstream motherboard with some advanced features. Instead of going for the best in everything, the B550 AORUS PRO tries to keep things sensible and practical.

Little about the ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming [WI-FI] can be referred to as ‘budget’ though, as this easily could be a premium motherboard due to its features and a $229 USD price tag. The board as stated is positioned in an higher end region of what is considered the mainstream segment, it does look properly STRIX styled, stuff we like of course.
