Strictly speaking, this RoG board is not an itx (it is slightly longer), but it is by far the most innovative mini board.

In our view, however, the Impact is more than worth it: the way in which Asus managed to create space for two (well-cooled!) M.2-ssds and the different overclocking features (bios-flashback, hex-display) is definitely innovative .

The main goal of ASUS, with the ROG Crosshair VIII Impact, is to satisfy demanding users with a refined palate thanks to its natural propensity to overclock, especially as regards memories. Thanks to the compact dimensions, in fact, many of the microscopic latencies to be attributed to a more bulky form factor are effectively eliminated, reducing the length of the tracks and improving the cleaning of the tensions.

DD's MasterPiece

It is an impressive board that you should not underestimate simply because it is smaller in size. It holds several records in extreme clocking of both RYZEN 9 and AM4 processors, including the absolute record across all platforms over 6000MHz with DDR4. With the new AMD RYZEN 9 3950X, you can have a more powerful PC than anything Intel can offer.

I love it!

The board itself worked great, I did not encounter any problems with construction, drivers and so on. It is really richly equipped due to its size, in this size simply has no competition, the amount of gadgets is really, really large.
