Best Mini Itx for haswell

shaunad · 2 Jun 2013 at 13:19

Anybody know if there will be a decent ITX board released for overclocking the new 4770K.

Also when it will arrive?

I saw there is one Asrock but I'd prefer gigabyte or Asus.

Thanks

I've seen some good reviews for the Gigabyte G1 sniper M5, its currently top of my list while i wait for more reviews to show up.

I too am interested in such. Would love to see an Asus ROG Mini some day.

I have a feeling Mini motherboard reviews will be low priority initially.

I require mini itx mate

to fit in a BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Cube Case

I'm hoping EVGA Z87 Stinger doesn't turn out to be a lemon like the Z77 was.

Thats real nice, any ideas on release date?

I'm considering mini-itx mostly because i dont want to pay for extra gpu slots i have no intention of ever using.

P8Z87-I Deluxe is the on the radar, if it as good as the Z77 version then should be a decent board.

You pay more for mini itx boards since they are still quite niche.

Gigabyte z87 board:
Don't think it will allow for much overclocking since it has a single 4 pin.

Only 2 ram slots is a deal breaker for me, I'm looking for the full power of a decent motherboard, just without the extra gpu slots.
mjones1: yes but the g1 sniper m5 seems to be the same power of the full board but for half the price, all for the sake of losing an ethernet port and 4 way gpu.

There are rumors of a ASUS ROG ITX revealed @ Computex on the 4th, so id wait and see.

R088ieS86 · 2 Jun 2013 at 14:59

no mITX boards have 4 RAM Slots.
you will have to stick with mATX.

Look what i found http://www.webhallen.com/se-sv/hardvara/177740-asus_maximus_vi_impact-mitx-z87

The upcoming mITX RoG board coming soon, apparently its being shown at Computex on tuesday. Price is around 250€, same as the deluxe board.

Think i will wait to see what that is, othervise i was thinking about the ASRock Z87E. Since asus mitx deluxe is about 100€ more, the ASRock card is better bang for the buck unless it gets ****** reviews.

That Asus ROG Maximus VI Impact looks interesting, but the additional circuit boards are going to be problematic when deciding on CPU cooler for a SG05 (don't want Corsair Hydro style closed loop blowing out the case front)

So far it's between this and the EVGA stinger, as I desire decent onboard audio.

that mobo

, dowant, bet the price will be steep though

R088ieS86 · 4 Jun 2013 at 16:39

I'd guess @ £200-£250.
The Deluxe was £180ish on release.

Good luck with that then.
