X299 mini itx meme is real

ASRock’s X299E-ITX/ac Motherboard Now Available: Up to 18 Cores in Mini-ITX

And ppl believed it was a meme

Now i want asscock to make X399 ITX mobo.

why need 2 internet input??

doubel the internet speed

I mean, is it that impressive when we've already had this?

Problem with ITX for X299 is that Skylake-X is a fucking housefire. I also don't like that they changed it to 260pin. It doesn't even increase the max mem since the x99 board could take 64GB sticks no problem.

That would be a sight.
Now fuck, how can I use 40 lanes on such a board?

She is a big momboard

>x299
>i9
>ITX

So, do they sell pocket sized nuclear reactors? or how are you suposed to power/cool this magma pit?

Dad? its too big dad!

Have to agree with quick look at the VRM tells me this is a fire risk.

I would buy it unironically if I wasnt poor.

I want it.

>TR4 m-itx
Jesus fucking christ, what's the fucking point?

The power draw will be way too high. Remember how they couldn't make AM3+ ITX boards because the FX chips ran too hot? I expect they'd run into the same problem here.

Because we can.

...are those SO-DIMM slots? Not even full size RAM.

Mhmm, I can smell the fires already.

I'd be happy with matx Strix board

Won't be long now until TR4 Mini-ITX.

for memeing
or for the very specific task that needs 500 cores but not an extreme amount of memory or I/O

that is a shoop though

...

Where's the SATA connectors? USB, audio, etc. headers?

Wasn't that one a mockup? If you look at the one in it has a USB 3.0 header visible.

This.

Are you the guy who emailed me about it this morning?

>only one 8-pin
There’s no way this can run a 7980XE even at stock without great risk.

hell yes

Is m-itx ok for Z370?

"shotgunning"

>naked vrm
>single 8 pin eps
>sodimm memes
just

literal housefire

the X99 one doesn't have quad channel memory or three m.2 slots

extra m.2 slots would be handy if you want to use an adaptor on one of the slots to run something like a capture card or second gpu

inb4 asrock makes this for real

>three m.2 slots
TRIPLE ULTRA M.2 !!!1!!!11!!!!eleven!!!!kitty!!!!

Cramming this much hardware into an ITX form-factor isn't really possible using existing standards, so what Assrock could do is go full custom and sell a proprietary motherboard/case combo, in a front/back configuration similar to the DAN Case A4, but instead of just the GPU on the back it would have half of the mobo components.
The mainboard has just the CPU, power and memory on it. A secondary board connected via high-bandwidth ribbon cable would have the PCI-E, storage, inputs and audio.
I knocked up a crude variation of how it would look. Maybe instead of two PCI slots on the back, there could be one with a 90º bend so that the GPU can be flat against the back, but it would also require the I/O to go back to the CPU side.

Nice mockup. Most people who would buy this would probably want some kind of stacked pcie riser arrangement for muh mitx SLI, which you could probably get away with in a proprietary case.
