I don't like this random scribbling Asus have seen fit to put over all of their new products.

Talk about having the almost perfect visual appeal and then wrecking it.

 

[HJ1mech]

What is Asus's new obsession with random buzzwords being slapped on? Stop it it looks stupid.

why X470...?

i have not looked at the specs to be honest but is this chipset not a bit of a waste on an ITX mainboard?

what does it offer that could not be achieved with a B450?

PCI lanes should not be a problem with a board that has just one PCI16 slot and 2 SATA ports.

get rid of the gamer lingo crap and you'll have my support.

I think you can safely say because they can and someone will buy it , ASrock did the same with x99e- itx

just noticed it has 4 sata ports but that did not change my question.

well i was searching for an ITX mainboard the last year (have an empty ITX case here that waits for some hardware).

but i am not paying 180+ euro for the asus x370 ITX.
i buy only asus, no need to recommend asrock, gigabyte or MSI etc.

i don´t need that system but i would build one if i can get an ITX board from asus around 120 euro.

But in the ASRock X99E-ITX/AC case, it was the only ITX motherboard for the X99 chipset. And to be fair, it was a good motherboard for an 5820K for example. As I had both once

yes it was and still is , i was just speculating on itx-board and the chip set on it that could be seen to be overkill for this form factor

Because Asus will likely again only offer one ITX board and will have it be the Strix yet again for the best profit margin.

Still retaining my complaint about the X370/B350 ITX boards that the rear I/O is just too bare. They could have at least put some USB 2.0 ports and changed one of the USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports to USB-C. Or even given a full 6 port audio I/O for surround sound since if you have a GPU, there's no way of having it otherwise

Yes agreed, it looks very vague if I shall be honest. I’d like atleast a few more USB porta on the back.

 

[Kleptobot]

still wouldn't get this as it has no optical sound output

 

[NeverBackDown]

Optical? Man just use USB
