The ULTIMATE AMD X670E Motherboard Roundup Review

ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-I Gaming WiFi

Next up is the ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-I Gaming WiFi which is a little confusing, as it’s X670E, but is the “i” variant, meaning that it’s mini ITX and is actually the only mini ITX X670E board on the market from any brand. What’s funny is that every generation sees mini-ITX boards, though they are small form factor, rise in height due to the ability of adding new features without adding beyond the mini-ITX form factor.

Those unique features include the dual-stacked M.2 slots, which include a PCI-Express 5.0 slot along with a Gen 4 slot too, which sits comfortably next to the single PCI-Express 5.0 slot for your GPU. Along with this is a riser card, known as the ROG FPS-II card which gives SATA connectivity, along with various USB and front panel headers, again, while also saving on space.

Beyond that, there’s also the ROG STRIX HIVE which is a separate breakout unit that can sit on your desk or case and give some well-known ROG features including Q-LEDs, BIOS flashback button, USB ports and multimedia connectivity and controls.

Now, while this is the smallest board we have, it doesn’t skimp out when it comes to the VRMs with a 10+2 power phase design, with each stage rates for a whopping 110 Amps of concurrent power which are all cooled by a single large heatsink that merges into the rear I/O which also houses a single small fan which exhausts heat away, out of the rear I/O panel.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
