The arrival of the new processors amd has turned out to be a complete success, not only because of the versions aimed at simpler computers such as the series Ryzen 9000 basics, but also for the 9800X3Dwhich has already managed to convince many people to make the change to have what many call the best processor for games. But it is clear that they are not the only component that matters in this case, since we must also take into account that the motherboard is just as important, this time Gigabyte has launched one created for these processors in a smaller format, since is mini ITX
There are various formats of motherboards, generally the one we usually use the most is the ATX, but it does not imply that the others do not have a high enough demand for companies not to create them, which is why we can see very different, such as the mini ITX format, which allows creating computers with a much smaller size but without losing performance.
Gigabyte launches its new mini ITX motherboard for Ryzen 9000 processors
The boards created with the chipset that offers the best performance for the Ryzen processors 9000 They are not new, we have seen how various companies have launched models that come with a large number of specifications to offer the sufficient power that we expect from the new generation. But there are not many that have a format like the one Gigabyte has presented, and its new high-end motherboard has what it takes to build a miniature PC that offers us the ability to save space without losing power.
In this case, the brand has launched the new X870I Aorus Pro Icewhich comes with all the advantages that we can expect from the X870 chipset with a really small size, but without leaving aside the connectivity that a board for a next-generation PC needs.
- Dual channel DDR5: 2 DIMMs with support for AMD EXPO memory modules.
- WIFI EZ-Plug: Quick and easy design for installing Wi-Fi antennas.
- EZ-Latch Plus: PCIe and M.2 slots with quick release and screwless design.
- EZ-Latch Click: M.2 heatsinks with screwless design.
- Friendly UI: Multi-Theme, AIO Fan Control, and Q-Flash Auto Scan in BIOS and SW.
- New Power Monitor in HWinfo to monitor the CPU power phases in real time.
- Ultra-fast storage: 2 M.2 slots, including 1 PCIe 5.0 x4.
- Efficient thermal design: VRM Thermal Armor Advanced & M.2 Thermal Guard Ext.
- Fast Networking: 2.5GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 7 with ultra-high gain directional antenna.
- Expanded Connectivity: USB4 Type-C with DP-Alt, HDMI.
- Reliable Audio: Realtek ALC4080 HD Audio and audiophile-grade capacitors.
- PCIe UD X Slot: PCIe 5.0 x16 slot with 10X power for graphics card.
Although it is not the first motherboard that we see with this format (and probably not the last), Gigabyte shows that it has a large number of functions that they can implement in models that turn out to have a different standard, as is the case of the technologies that have been designed to reduce the heat of the M.2, as well as the new screwless anchors and the like.
