Rear IO on many of these X670 boards is crippled beyond reason.

Edit: had to look up and Asus website has further details on these AM5 boards(as usual quite a few things are missing). ITX board is absolute beast and probably the most promising of this lot and while its great to see mATX board finally getting some love rumoured/leaked price seems too high(and if its true then Asus needs to be pulled off the high horse)

Hopefully others will follow suit after, I really like mATX and sadly this form factor hasn't received much love since Ryzen inceptions.

If Gigabyte has their Pro series of Matx boards(equivalent to their Z690) then it would be great start. Sadly AM4 didnt get decent mAtx boards for their flagship chipsets and atleast this Gene is a good start.
