ASUS is back, on 17cm this round, yes we review the all new ROG Strix X470-I Gaming, optimized for Ryzen 2000 / Zen+ on a motherboard that is 17x17cm. It has everything you want, including a full X16 PCIe Gen 3.0 slot for graphics, two M2 slots and all that you can use with last or new-gen Ryzen 5 2600X or Ryzen 7 2700X processors.

Thanks for this review Hilbert! Ever since the release of Ryzen been looking to go mini-ITX factor. Time to make a coffee and 'work'.
@Hilbert Hagedoorn: on your conclusion page you mention 'You can mount a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti on there if you wanted too, as well as two super fast NVMe M2 SSDs.' doesnt that mean however, you would need to push the GPU back to x4 mode? How much would this impact gaming performance..?

That right small is now new sexy! From now on Im building only mini-ITX PC's as they can be as powerful as bigger brothers. Plus the case can be squeezed almost anywhere.

Asus seems to have made a lot of odd priorities for this board:
1. The layout it weird, especially the SATA ports.
2. There was definitely room to have 6 audio jacks, but they only fit 3. They could've at least provided a connector for SPDIF.
3. I understand B450 chipsets aren't available yet, but X470 seems overkill.
4. Only 1 HDMI port? There was room for another display connector.
5. No USB type C?
There are boards with half the price that have more/better features than this.
