Meet one of the nicer and smallest B550 Chipset based motherboards we review, the Mini-ITX based ASUS STRIX B550-I Gaming, at 17x17cm ASUS loaded this B550 motherboard with some good features including dual M2 slots, 2.5 GigE Ethernet, AX WIFI and a nicely designed VRM. Well, simply put it's nearly a mega motherboard at a mini size.

this is a sweet spot what with all the goodness (I.e.. durability) one would hope for and nothing over the top. well, maybe twenty ducats less would work:p.

Could you check the revision of I225-V? I can imagine people are interested whether its the old one that may fall back to 1Gbps with some switches or the new one that does comply to the spec.

Retail units will all have the revised version.
