ASUS ROG STRIX X870-I GAMING WIFI AMD AM5 X870 Mini ITX motherboard 10+2+1 power stages, Dynamic OC Switcher, Core Flex, DDR5 AEMP, WiFi7, 2x M.2, PCIe®5.0, Q-Release Slim, USB4, AI OCing & Networking

Amazing motherboard for ITX, is compatible with all the latest hardware and comes with an interesting cluster (I rarely use it but its still amazing to have). the best feature for me on this motherboard is that it comes with 2 NVME SSD slots on the front of the motherboard rather then the traditional 1 front, 1 back design most manufacturers are known for with ITX motherboards.

First I must say this motherboard makes life easy. Compared to the gigabyte motherboard that consider mid price was a pain for the year I had it. The dongle is cool use. I can turn the volume and focus on the application that is open. For example I have vc on discord and game open, doom, fortnite I can lower the volume of the game and not lose volume from discord while chatting with friends. Also the added bonus the power button turns on your pc don’t have to reach to the actual pc anymore. As well as headphone input. I got tired of having my headphone connected to my elgato mic. Never needing to mess with settings when elgato go nuts. The comments people made here about screws people talk about being tough around the ssd m.2 I had zero issue. Not sure what people talking about. Not sure if it was bad luck on them. As well as booting I had zero issues. Compared the gigabyte motherboard which was a pain since building this board gave me no issues. First try boot. Even if something went wrong there’s buttons I can use to reset. I don’t have to poke areas like I’m trying to jumpstart a car. It runs smoothly. I didn’t need to buy windows again but that may be I bought it with more than one use. Or windows fix stuff but all I know I didn’t have to install windows when I replace the motherboard. Wifi I can’t say much on since I prefer to have my pc direct connect to router but since everything been going great I imagine a wifi 7 has to be good too. Just long as your internet is good too. Don’t let the negative reviews stop you from thinking of purchasing this because it does everything like it says and my cpu actually been running cooler too

Great product, very high quality

The motherboard is a solid, premium-feeling product with a feature list that is nearly unbeatable in the ITX form factor. HOWEVER, the connection between the daughter card that contains the front panel connectors is a weak spot, a very weak spot. It does not stay well-seated on its connectors. My motherboard would not respond to the power switch no matter what I tried. It did seemingly have power (a single LED was visible with power activated with one of the switches set to something other than its default setting. But... Changing polarity? Didn't work. Using the onboard power switch pins? Didn't work. Because ASUS is notorious for its lack of support, I purchased a PSU tester (tested good) to verify that the problem wasn't upstream from the motherboard. I also bought a different second case. In all, I have been troubleshooting this problem for... longer than the return window. Now I need to go see what warranty support ASUS will provide. I regret the purchase and should have gone with a less function-forward design.

Linux users, beware. The Mediatek MT7927 wifi/BT card on this board is completely unsupported on Linux and has been for at least a year with little signs of hope, even on the very latest kernel (6.19rc7 as of writing this review). Mediatek simply does not appear to care about driver support. People are having to disassemble the board to install proper wifi cards like the Intel AX210. It is ridiculous that we cannot get a proper wifi/bt card on a $400 board. Otherwise, everything has worked so far (RJ45 LAN included) and I have no complaints.
