At bloody last, Asus Z77-I Deluxe: Ivy Bridge ITX

Check out the Digi+ VRM and 8 pin power locations! Also, the socket is finally in the middle of the board instead of right next to the PCIe slot. Looks like the Digi+ VRM location could hinder a few larger heatsinks

How cool is the VRM card?!? :eek:

I actually went "wow" out loud when I saw it.

The huge card on the side of the motherboard?

Or do you mean what is VRM? It's the regulators for the board power. Means this board should go in an SG05 and yet still overclock well.

Reminds me of some oldschool Gigabyte!

Just now mean ITX might not be so small!

Have Asus done mini-ITX before?

Looks so good, OCing was the main thing that put me off mini-ITX after my first one, but I loved the size and this looks ideal.

Not as yet, no.
The world is crying out for a worthy successor to the H55N.

WANT! So much want.

ace

cant wait to see some builds based on this board.

wazza300 · 6 Mar 2012 at 23:54

is that a tiny onboard ssd? i can see,caching ssd maybe?

Is it fine having the VRMs like that? But I must say... it makes more space on the board... so hopefully it'll be a very good ITX overclocking board!

READ MAN!! VR's, the power for the CPU!

Least the CPU is in the center so fitting cooling will not be a problem. Just need a GFX thats really powerfull and within the same footprint of the board.

I do like the 8pin & 24 pin locations
