I didn't understand some features until I went to ASUS' site and looked at every feature and its description there. Explanations aren't in the manual for how the hardware works. For example: the EF Fan header is not Exhaust Fan Fan like I thought, it is Extra Flow Fan. Just an extra chassis fan header, I guess. I did have to replace the thermal pads on the M.2 slot, they were too thin and too slim (narrow). 1mm pads worked fine for my 4Tb Crucial T500 drive I put there. I wish the second M.2 slot were mounted on a 1/4" standoff from the back of the board, my temps are 58 for the 4Tb WD SN850X

Motherboard is great so far has all the features that you would need for a modern motherboard in 2026 only downside is it holds two stick of ram but my PC build is strictly for gaming. You can get two 128 gb DDR5 if you really need it lol

Took a little fanagling but it eventually worked out.Great bit of hardware for your Mini-ITX build. Fit this into the KKSB K1 case from Kickstarter Years ago. It's like 7L of room.Very compact, and this motherboard had all the bells and whistles I wanted for the full PCIe 5 Go around. PCIe Riser Cable is even 5.This Motherboard is smooth, and thee ASUS BIOS has always been user-friendly in my mind compared to some others I've used in the past.Grab one now!

Llego en el tiempo estipulado y en excelente estado.

Poor stability. PC takes 1-3 minutes to turn on and sometimes not at all. Everytime I turn it on windows says "something happened, reset your pin". I have done extensive troubleshooting and nothing fixed it. The drivers dont have gui/window when you double click to install, I have no way of knowing when it's done or not. New MSI motherboard fixed the problem completely, instant boots and no issues. Also when I stalled the drivers a GUI appeared like its supposed to.

There are at least two other ITX B850-sized boards; in my case, I am not able to detail full ITX usage, as I bought this board for a combination of stability and RAM overclocking.First and foremost, this motherboard does not support an Arctic Liquid Freezer III; the tubes will be hitting the NVMe heatsink block, as well as even the NVMe when the block is off. You may be able to install the pump NORTH; however, you may cause your cooler to develop bubbles or deteriorate.When it comes to overclocking RAM, this was on beta BIOS 1001 and 1002; it is able to go to its supported rate; however, it se

The ROG Strix B850-I is a powerhouse in a compact form. Despite its mini-ITX size, it delivers excellent performance, strong VRMs for stable overclocking, and plenty of features packed into a small board. Wi-Fi 7, PCIe 5.0 support, and solid cooling solutions make it future-proof, while the sleek ROG design keeps it looking premium. Ideal for small-form-factor builds that don’t want to compromise on power.

I want to really like this system, but some of their choices just make no sense and cause issues. Performance wise it does well and is what you expect for a B850 chipset.Where this design fails is when it comes to the little things that become a big problem. The "on board" audio is just a USB audio, and it is just really not good. I use an external DAC and even with that, it is just bad. So bad, I actually plugged in a USB SPDIF, and it worked better. The WIFI is horrible, as is the BT. Luckily I have LAN as it was bad. Again, even plugging in a cheap USB wifi was better. Then you have the des
