the last one looks like a gigabyte? is it rebranded from gigabyte?

 

[dj-electric]

Y U NO put a nice aluminum sink on that VRM's with push pins?

^ last matx one does look like a gigabyte. Hopefully the prices are competitive. Around $60 for the a55-itx would be sweet.

 

[devguy]

lol, the first picture says, "ASS-ITX WIFI". Do not want.

mordern mosfets generate less heat.

Modern CPUs suppose to consume less power

They finally figured out people want a full size 16x slot!

But you always feel better when the mosfets are covered with of aluminum sinks right?

I get stress marks when components run @ stock clocks so yes, indeed

I wonder when that A75-ITX model will hit the shelves. Be careful, I searched for "Zotac A75-ITX WiFi" and realized that I was browsing the old FM1 model. Even if you add FM2 to the search, the second link is for the TPU review of the FM1 model ...

Enough with announcing mini-itx FM2 boards. How about releasing some.
