@TechGuyBeau this is flipping amazing. To think, you take that mobo, throw some RAM and an SSD in it and you have a full-fledged 16 core/32 threads at 100W that can literally do almost anything in a tiny little chassis and vesa mount it to the back of a monitor. Wow. I didn't know that this existed but know I NEED to have it. Awesome find and review!
I'm using this board in my all-nvme ITX NAS! It's an amazing little setup - I've managed to cram SIX nvme's into this thing... yes, you heard that right - SIX nvme's in an ITX motherboard, along with 10g networking. Bifurcation is enabled on the gen5 x16 slot allowing x4x4x4x4 and using an Asus Hyper M.2 Gen5 card (4x 4TB Gen4 nvme's), along with a gen4 nvme boot drive (x1 lanes) in the unused wifi slot (using a 90deg. adapter setup); and then another Gen4 drive in one of the dedicated M.2 slots. Finally, I use an M.2 to pcie adapter to run my Mellanox 10g NIC. Everything runs *flawlessly* and it literally just sips power.
I like this board and concept, but I don't understand the point of having 16/32 core CPU with inferior iGPU, when equivalent 8/16 core ryzen with better iGUP has comparable multicore Geekbench 6 result.
Got that motherboard and it's an absolute beast of a performer for its size, price and value. It's almost a steal! Got mine all-in for 329 usd here in the philippines

I love this little thing immensely

What screws have you attached the fan to the fan brackets with? It didn't seem to come with any...
Thanks for the informative video. Do you think you can undervolt the CPU and get some extra performance for the same watts?
it would be perfect if it had a type c header.. mannn
En un vs con la M4 mini de stock ¿cuál sería la mejor?
Have you tried PTM7950 on it?
It has it on during the video.
What about the wifi antennas that are missing? Is it possible to add your own?
Yes you can but it has to fit under the fan. There is a little pci slot right near the 2 hole cutout on the back
did u tried overclocking the cpu and ram with the new bios?
Ram yes, CPU no. I was able to manually type in up to 5600mhz
@@TechGuyBeauHi, would it be possible to make a video on how to overclock the ram?

It had the pci slot. It’s meant for building a full system.
Dedicated GPU is the way to go for gaming; but the iGPU is nice for a very powerful compact NAS setup.

Brother you got robbed. I got it for 149$ with rtx 5090 1tb as a gift here in papua new geniue

Put one of these in a shiny snake s400 v2 with a phanteks t30 (had to ziptie it on). Amazing form factor for the performance it gets.
