Gigabyte B550i AORUS PRO AX Motherboard Review @ ThinkComputers

Small Motherboard, Amazing results.  Kinda.

Mini ITX motherboards really are the future of desktop computing.  They have everything a modern computer needs and due to NVIDIA killing SLI there is no reason to have more than one expansion slot.

That is unless you are an audio enthusiast in which case you need at least two.  So, ya Micro ATX is the future of desktop computing!!

I’ve always been a fan of mini-ITX motherboards. It is still very impressive to me that we can cram so much into such a small motherboard. With the Ryzen 3000 series and upcoming Ryzen 5000 series building a super-powerful small form factor system couldn’t be easier. Gigabyte has the perfect motherboard for you too, the Gigabyte B550i AORUS PRO AX! B550 motherboards lack full PCI-Express 4.0 support, but you will get it on a single x16 slot and an M.2 slot, which means in the mini-ITX form factor you really aren’t losing all that much. Gigabyte’s B550i AORUS PRO AX is loaded with features which include a 6+2 VRM with 90A power stages, USB 3.2 support, dual M.2 slots, WiFi 6, 2.5G LAN, RGB lighting and much more! Is this the ultimate mini-ITX motherboard for Ryzen? Read on as we find out!

The only drawback is that this board is a B chipset which means no overclocking.
