The Gigabyte B550I AORUS PRO AX Motherboard gets a huge thumbs up from me before it even went on the test bench. It’s mini-ITX and that’s honestly a very rare thing these days. Most of the brands put out mostly ATX, and maybe one mini-ITX. If we’re lucky, we may see an mATX too, but those are even rarer than new mini-ITX models these days.

The Gigabyte B550I AORUS Pro AX features a 6+2 phase VRM design using top-tier 90 A power stages from Intersil, with two M.2 heatsinks, 2.5 Gb/s LAN from Realtek, and even a metal backplate to add rigidity and aid in cooling. There is a lot of motherboard packed in a small and surprisingly affordable package, so let’s dive right in!

The box for the ROG Strix B550-I Gaming doesn’t really look any different from any of the ROG Strix ITX boards I’ve seen for the last 4 or 5 generations. This includes the black background with the ROG logo with that Strix rainbow effect and then the picture of the board on the front.

With fewer slots than we’ve seen on the ATX versions of the B550 chipset the Aorus Pro AX ITX actually ends up being, on average, more PCI Express 4.0 than the rest. The sole PCI Express slot is the 64Gb/s PCIe 4.0, whilst there is one PCIe 4.0 and one PCIe 3.0 M.2 slots for your storage needs.

With the new Z490 chipset, Biostar has gone for a more mid-range design in the Z490GTN. This $200 model is in the price bracket often seen as hyper-competitive. At that price, it’s perhaps too-high for a basic system (wait for the B-series chipset version), which means that Biostar has to make an effort to provide enough mid-range features to make the motherboard worthwhile.

Many of those solutions have a new feature or gimmick to separate themselves from the pack. There though “the pack” often refers to something exactly like the Supermicro X11SCL-IF we are reviewing here. With the X11SCL-IF we get a single socket mITX Intel Xeon platform that is packed with functionality. Let us take a look.

It seems with every generation we see fewer and fewer mini-ITX motherboards, which is a real shame, as I absolutely love them. Then again we see even fewer mATX motherboards now, which is also a real shame. Thankfully, AORUS has a heck of an answer with their Z490I Ultra motherboard, which comes packed with incredible features for such a compact motherboard.

We really don’t see too many mini-ITX motherboards these days, and mATX boards even less so. However, we’ve been lucky enough to receive the new ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-I Gaming motherboard, which looks perfect for those wanting big performance in a compact form factor.

The Aorus Z490i Ultra is under Aorus’ lineup of board which carries the most variations – from specially themed boards to bringing the ITX offering of Aorus. There’s just something that Aorus does that makes their ITX boards shine even from other generations and platforms.

When it comes to mini-ITX AMD X570 motherboards there are only a handful to choose from. Today we are checking out ASRock’s offering which comes in the form of the X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3. We first saw the Phantom Gaming Series from ASRock with their Z390 Phantom Gaming X and we are hoping to see the same quality in the X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3.
