Seems like mostly a downgrade from their B650i Aorus Ultra, for more money. The B650 had a heatpipe to cool the chipset and one of the m.2 drives, and a backplate to cool the rear m.2 drive.. and 3 M.2 drive spots total.
@ethanschwake4369 nope. Especially not for itx. Usually the biggest difference is pci e lanes. But seeing as itx only has one slot, they aren't needed. I'm currently using the b650i with a 9800x3d. Love it and love the 3 m.2 slots.
@@spartan612 not usually no, this IO genuinely has less than average ports for ITX. Yet it costs almost double, all for 5.0 GPU & NVME, not worth it at all
Noone will buy it at $600AUD down here and it'll soon drop in price, if Gigabyte wants to shift them. Pretty typical story with PC components down under.
Only choice is right! After reading all the complaints about ASUS coil whine, then getting disappointed with the lack USB4 on ASROCK, I was about ready to give up and go back to Intel. But this board looking amazing. And it's white, which I love. After owning several black motherboards and cases, I know the pain of losing screws and not being able to see very well inside the case. Yup, this is my next motherboard, the price is much better compared to the ASUS X870-I at $450 usd.
I would love a mITX MB with 10Gbe, but they never existed.... sacrificing the PCIe for 10GBe seems pretty... crappy... but an m.2.... regardless, no expansion in the SFF chassis so the only way is to USB4 it... which I hate... or can we desolder the 2.5Gbe with a 10Gbe (connector and chip?)
Great review. For the future, it would be good to provide information whether there is a coil whine. None of the reviewers pays attention to this. Unfortunately, more and more equipment is being made on a mass scale. And when browsing the Internet or doing other work, there is nothing worse than a buzzing motherboard
@@errr9408 If they didn't mention coil whine, there probably wasn't any-or, at least, it wasn't bothersome enough to make note of. Even when coil whine is a problem, that's not necessarily representative of the whole product line. In many years of assembling PCs, I've encountered many instances of bad coil whine being isolated to a single unit with another purchased from the same batch being just fine. It's usually pretty easy to remedy as well if you're able to discern which component is making the noise. Just squirt some hot glue on it and it'll stop it from vibrating at those annoying high-pitched frequencies.
@@Derek.IversonBelieve me, most reviewers don't pay attention to it. They review the product, some put it together like GS for what props, the fans don't have low rpm so they may not even know that the board is "playing". Or they will put it in the case where it will jam the coils together with the fans. He doesn't buy a record and doesn't spend a lot of money to glue it..
Design looks very cool, but too bad they didnt go for X870E but just X870. X870E at least is a micrometer better than X670E, but regular X870 is not better (its worse, got fewer pci-e lanes etc). One might think that it doesent matter on Mini-ITX as you have less stuff to plug in, but I would like to see it executed so you had more ports and maybe riser or some "remote m.2" expansion slot, or plug in slot like on the mATX board X670e gene from Asus.
This being the 2nd X870-I motherboard to come out, I like the white fabrication (a feature that was primarily reserved for intel boards) , I would have liked the addition of an clear cmos button on the rear IO shield. It did come late to market cause I've already picked up the Asus Strix X870-I and built a system around that. This board would have looked badass paired up with my Starfield branded 7900 XTX.
Just upgraded my PC last weekend with this little guys big brother, the X870E, absolutely love the all white look of these board...Gigabyte has done well with the recent released AM5 boards 👌. Great vid again guys.
board looks good but rear I/O is meh at best & audio header is unusable. I will give them props for only using breakout cables for the fan headers this time. I returned the B650i because of all electronic spaghetti that was in my case after building with that board.
All white ITX, I've waiting... But[3] R.G.B. connectors, but only 2 non-CPU fan headers; and yes their still those weak mini fan connectors with extension cables. ...well whatever I guess. That audio connection - NO.
Why all new itx suck in one way or another? Gigabyte has less m2 slots, asus b850 does not have 40gbs type c, x870 has but it has annoying dac which not only looks tacky but also is so unnecessary
Not Nvidia, when Nvidia figure it out how to do it "better" they'll just jack the price up by 50% or more, i'm sure gamers will miss him whenever he decides to go to Hell
Never before did we have such a plethora of choice for mini ITX cases, but a limited and boring selection of ITX motherboards
Fr. Only two mobo choices in my country lol
two whole X870. One with a wierd audio gimick and insane price, the other is white lol
Dinosaurs at the helm haven't realized that the market preferences are shifting.
I'm disappointed that they didn't have 3 nvme slots like the b650i aorus ultra.

@@VeritronX is there any big feature difference from B650 to X870 in the itx scene?

oooo not happy with the lack of rear USBs. seems bare
Isn’t that the case for most of these boards in this form factor?

Been waiting on this. Beautiful board.
$600 AU! $300 US is high but OK. But the AUD plus GST is not half the US dollar value.
Marco, we just gotta hope the USD drops hard so our AUD rises high thus should bring electronics prices down
Once the total price exceeds the import duties threshold, sure, but at this price point double is really hard to swallow.
Noone will buy it at $600AUD down here and it'll soon drop in price, if Gigabyte wants to shift them. Pretty typical story with PC components down under.
While I expect a reduction in features, that IO feels REALLY barebones
I came to see the AM5 socket… I was not disappointed 👍
I don't know why they can't get 3 m.2 slots here. the b650 one has 3 slots.
X670e has 4 freaking slot and non are compromised. Like who in the world only uses one M.2 slots, as a gamer I would used all 4.
which b650 board is that?
2.5Gb lan only ?
Technically U r paying much more for a naming upgrade along with a usb4 port.... Same situation as the Rog one

Any thunderbolt 5 usb 4 gen 2 ITX boards yet or do they just hate customers?

just moved to the M-atx version, the pro ice, to follow you into the A3 wood with a new to me, 4090 ;-)..... i do like the white look.

Price for it is just nuts.
Gonna wait for other brands to drop their itx boards. I'd take their B650 board over this one because this seems like a downgrade to be honest.
We don't really have a choice for a white mini itx AM5 motherboard

Use your influence to get msi to catch up. They can't save intel but they can bring that edge ti to am5 sooner than march. edit even if it is white...
It's coming in Jan
@@GearSeekers thank you for intervening. It's good to have friends with influence.
Nice looking card but I hate it so much when they place the 8 pins EPS in that spot. It's so hard to access and unplug.
With the availability of 5GB switches I would much rather have 10GB ethernet ports.
Which slider do you guys use for your b-roll?
It's white with a 10 layer PCB; it must be good for something... Right? /s

Cool looking mobo, will look sick in a all white PC
YES!!!! My next board.
no drivers usb stick 🤔
Can this do 8000MT's and up on RAM?
Aesthetic is nice. 2.5gb lan not an upgrade for me.
I bought this for my Phanteks NV9 Case in White just because lol for my 9800x3D. I like to be different
Does it support ECLK oc?
we need micro ATX AM5 motherboards. ITX is too restrictive. I want three or four M.2 slots and that’s not possible on ITX.
Should I return the Strix I just got?
If you want the USB 4, yes.
700 on amazon US after this video
I Need some cheaper Itx boards

Outrageous price for the features tbh. X670 here we go
I am annoyed it's not being called Spinning Rust!
#makespinningrustspinagain
the PCB is actually silver not white
Still hate it
I'm really digging this board. Plus I'm glad they ditched that stupid breakout piece that they and Asus did.
Gigabyte have some nerve still refusing to budge from using those godawful mini pwm connectors
just bought this
in my dream
just bought this one today, got it for $370 instead of getting the B650E-I from Asus ROG Strix that priced $350.
Man. I got through 5 minutes of the voice volume fluctuations and had to shut it down.
Goofy Australian accent didn’t help either
But Itx White makes no sense xD
It costs 350eur what the actual fuck
B650E-I has a better price, and gigabytes A620 ITX motherboard isn’t bad
For the lower price still Rog b650E-I from ASUS offers better features and quite rich back I/O.
No TOSLink... so I'm out. Maybe I should just get a new AVR.
super expensive and breaks super early

fat finger problem!hahaha
Ich versteh kein Wort… 🤷♂️
Gigabyte and ASUS are by far the worst motherboard manufacturers.
These one M.2 PCIE 5 lane bull crap. These X870 boards are a god Dann joke. Who uses one M.2 drives, not real gamers.
I hope companies make matx boards. I wanna do my tower 300 build already 🥲
dont buy this board it has xmp issue
what issue specifically?
