ASRock  X299E-ITX/ac A Very Tiny Mini ITX LGA2066 Motherboard

ASRock managed to inject quite a few features into a 17x17cm motherboard, a Mini-ITX sized motherboard. The ultimate Mini-ITX has to have everything, X299E-ITX/ac was built on a X299 platform to give ultimate processing power, dual Intel Gigabit Lan along with dual band 2.4/5GHz 802.11ac WiFi.

Press-release -- Dual band 2.4/5GHz 802.11ac WiFi provides the best connectivity, USB3.1 Gen2 Type A+C are also available at the rear of the motherboard, more amazingly this little beast also supports quad channel memory up to DDR4 4000 MHz(OC), stunning performance on such a small motherboard.

In order to provide the best expandability ASRock engineers has to think outside the box, by adding two expansion cards, X299E-ITX/ac now has 3 Ultra M.2 and 6 SATA3 ports, absolutely no compromise for supporting high speed storage devices. Stability is also vital, with 60A power choke and Dr.MOS to form a 7 power phase design, this motherboard can handle heavy load as well as everyday task with ease.
 

 
ASRock has collaborated with water cooling expert Bitspower technology to developed a cooling block specifically for X299E-ITX/ac, it is able to dissipate heat for both CPU & MOSFET up to 300W, a perfect optional upgrade for performance seeker and water cooling enthusiasts.

ASRock has yet again broke the limit to crammed such performance as well as amazing features into a Mini-ITX size motherboard, not only that, X299E-ITX/ac received a TAIWAN EXCELLENCE 2018 award right after the official launch, a perfect affirmation that this little beast is the truly built for small form factor fanatics.

If ASRock manages this with Threadripper (doubtful) I'm in.

I am legitimately impressed with this. They managed to keep quad channel this time (they didn't with the x99 m-ITX).

wonder how it would handle a 7820x?

no the CPU is bigger than itx form factor ((maybe i am trolling lol :) ))

not sure of that as the mATX have the 4 of them... anyway about the 7820X i guess it would be nice on WC as those too become smaller with time and more effective.

This is some seriously impressive engineering, but I see this as being a very niche product, even moreso than the other X299 boards. Unless you're using one of the i7s or worse, a lot of the PCIe lanes will go to waste. Available PSUs and cooling methods to accommodate the CPU are also going to be pretty bulky. This platform would make for the best ITX build you can make, but for X299 (or X399) I'd rather have micro ATX. You'd get a slightly larger chassis but a whole lot more options, and likely a cheaper motherboard (in the event one is ever made).
