Naturally in the ITX format there are some reductions in power phases and PCI Express slots to accommodate the small form factor, but for those of you who run a single GPU, a decent but not extravagant amount of DDR4, and a handful of storage options then the Strix B450-I wants for nothing.

They’re packed an X299 socket into a mini-ITX motherboard, and they certainly didn’t stop there either. With Intel Optane support, triple M.2, dual-band AC WiFi, dual Gigabit Intel LAN, dual USB 3.1 Gen2, Super Alloy Components, four SODIMM slots, and more… yes, all that on a mini-ITX board with a huge CPU socket. It’s beyond belief, but they did it, so let’s get testing!

What’s so good about the B350i Pro AC? It all comes down to the power-phase design. There are nine phases in total here (with the closest competing ITX board housing a meager six in contrast), which helps provide the additional grunt needed to balance the power from that Ryzen core. As soon as you start to take a look at those performance numbers, it’s obvious how big a difference this has made.

With ASUS’s ROG Strix line of products being quite popular with gamers, and AMD’s Ryzen CPU’s also gaining back quite a bit of Intel’s market share in a short time period, coupled with the demand for smaller and more efficient systems, it’s a no-brainer that ASUS would launch the updated ROG Strix X470-I Gaming. Following hot on the heels of…
