Hello HWCers

I just bought this case but have yet to purchase an ITX mobo.

Any good recommendations for ITX mobo? Preferably one with 2 x M.2 SSD slots. Intel or Ryzen ah?

This one saw in aliexpress, but very pricy
Amd 5700x and Intel 12600k should be very good performance

If going for Intel 12th gen can consider for 12400 , very good cpu , I’m using it in my Lian li A4-H20

Am using this bord now.. you can get Team Group Vulcan 5200 DDR5 which will cost approx $250 for 32GB to go with this board. It's the only one with 2x m.2 as mentioned

ya still unsure about the DDR5 but i guess that is my only option now.. not willing to go Z690I route lol
Based on my personal experience looking for a good ITX board for Intel Alder Lake, I really struggled to find one. Your options are very limited. Mostly requires DDR5, and higher end ones not just cost a lot, but the board also looks very crowded, so much so that it poses some problem for some air and water cooler. in the end, I gave up, and went with ATX. My preference was to get a H670, but a few days after I placed my order, I was told that it is out of stock and have to wait. So in the end, I got upsold to a Z690 board, but fortunately for 50 bucks more... :oops:

Yes sir... i've read the GB Z690I review they say some of the audio wire blocking the M.2 slot or something.

But then again i probably will just get the Strix B660I ba.. fuss free full black also like a nice

if dont want to spend so much (ironic as mitx is expensive as hell), can go ryzen and ddr4. got more options too, with msi, gigabyte, asrock and asus offering b550 and x570 itx boards with 2 m2 slots.
