Geometric Future launched its Model 0 Flamingo "folding box" chassis series, half a year after it was showcased at the Computex 2024 Taipei Computer Show. The Model 0 Flamingo is a Mini-ITX chassis with a unique feature: it wraps around your system like a cardboard box. The chassis has a compact format measuring 81 × 206 × 208 mm with a volume of 3.47L. It is built from 1.2 mm thick steel plates coated with anti-static, fire-proof, and mildew-proof fabric in black color with touches of gold-like elements. For cooling, it relies on a giant mesh top circle and numerous ventilation holes. There is no room for additional fans, except it can host a 60 mm height CPU cooler. The chassis comes equipped with a compact custom Guitarra 200 W power supply manufactured by Quanhan that measures 70 × 35 × 170 mm.

As we said, the Geometric Future Model 0 unique feature is the ability to be folded without the need for any tools, with magnets included in the material of the case itself keeping it together. Additionally, detachable magnetic feet allow users to orient the case in both vertical and horizontal modes. However, as interesting as it looks, the Model 0 has some drawbacks: it is only compatible with ITX motherboards and does not support PCIe expansion (no graphics card can be added). Currently, there is no information about pricing. However, it should be around $100 if Geometric Future would like to attract SFF/HTPC users.

ADATA tends to save the year's biggest product launches for Computex, but brought a fairly big selection of its latest case, power, and cooling products to the 2025 International CES. Let's begin with power, and the company showed us its new super-compact XPG Pymcore Platinum PSUs. These may look like SFX-L PSUs, but are actually ATX, with a very low depth, and yet full modular cabling. The 120 mm fan cooling the thing is pushed to the very edges of the fan intake. These PSUs meet ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 CEM standards, in fact exceeding them with 235% excursions for 100 µs. As the name suggests, this PSU offers 80 Plus Platinum switching efficiency.

The XPG Starfighter case is one of ADATA's first cases built on the Exoskeleton design language, where the outer body of the case is what provides structural support for the case, rather than an inner chassis. The cuboidal case features a chimney design, where air is drawn at the base, and vented from the top, with all the hot components along the way, and the graphics card installed along its height. At the top is a large 160 mm fan that pulls air. The case supports a Mini-ITX motherboard, and an SFX power supply. ADATA says that the case should support the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. The demo build at ADATA's booth featured a Palit RTX 4080 SUPER GamingPro, which is a fairly large card.

ASRock announces a full line-up of motherboards using the AMD B850 chipset. New products include high-end Phantom Gaming series line up covering Mini-ITX to ATX form factor, mainstream Steel Legend which features white PCB design and also Pro RS series for budget friendly users.

Ready to Power Everything!
The new ASRock B850 motherboards are designed with 14+2+1 power phase, 8-layer PCBs enabling excellent memory overclocking and exclusive low-ripple 1000μf 20K black capacitors that guarantee stable and superior performance for the CPU. The boards also support the latest PCI-Express Gen-5 Graphics card and equipped with Blazing M.2 (Gen5x4) SSD ports.

ASUS today announced the B850 and B840 series of AM5 motherboards for AMD processors, which includes models from the ROG Strix, TUF Gaming and Prime families. These motherboards give builders higher speeds, more ports and more slots for USB devices and M.2 SSDs. Many ASUS B850 motherboards also break into the next generation of wireless networking with WiFi 7 support, and also provide robust support for fast DDR5 kits. In addition, each model makes the PC building process easier than ever with tool-free M.2 SSD installation, easy troubleshooting and hassle-free installation and removal of graphics cards.

Meanwhile, B840 motherboards are designed to serve the needs of builders who do not intend to overclock their CPUs or install a PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSD or graphics card. For anyone looking to build a very affordable and efficient PC—perhaps one centered around a CPU with powerful integrated graphics capabilities—ASUS B840 motherboards are a cost-effective choice. The first ASUS B840 motherboards all hail from the tried-and-true Prime family.

Earlier today, ASUS uploaded a first sneak peek of several upcoming AMD AM5 motherboards—which we assume will feature the B850 and B840 chipsets—which according to the post on Facebook, will be launching within a couple of weeks. The boards will most likely be on display at CES, which kicks off on the 7th of January. The picture is obfuscated for obvious reasons, but what is clear is that there will be several different SKUs from all of ASUS' typical sub-brands such as TUF Gaming and ROG.

What we can also make out is that there will be at least one Mini-ITX board and one micro-ATX board, with the latter being the TUF Gaming branded board. We tried to clean up the picture a bit, but ASUS has managed to hide all details of possible models names and most of the text is kind of hard to make out. Nothing really sticks out in terms of features, although it's clear we'll end up seeing some higher-end B850 boards, judging by the fact that there are at least three ROG Strix SKUs coming. The question is if there's a market for these boards, considering the B850 chipset is pretty much the same as the B650E chipset, but with optional PCIe 5.0 support for the M.2 slots and no USB4, unlike its X870 counterpart.

Update Jan 1st: ASUS posted a picture of their upcoming mid-range Intel boards on Facebook as well, but as with the AMD boards, ASUS obfuscated the image, although not quite as badly this time around. For its Intel lineup, there's also a lower-end Prime board included, in addition to the TUF Gaming and ROG Strix boards. ASUS didn't reveal any launch window for the Intel boards.

Minisforum has decided to expand the series of motherboards used in its own mini-PCs with two new models, namely the BD795M (M-ATX) and BD795i SE (Mini-ITX). In principle, these motherboards are almost identical to those in the BD790i series, keeping the included AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX 16 cores processor with frequency of up to 5.4 GHz and integrated AMD Radeon 610M graphics. However, both have some minor physical differences. As for specifications, they offer two M.2 2280 SSD slots (one PCIe 5.0), support for DDR5 SODIMM memory with speeds up to 5200 MT/s, and a maximum capacity of 96 GB. The motherboards offer a full-size PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for users who want to add a dedicated video card.

Unlike the BD790i model, Minisforum decided not to include a CPU cooler for the BD795M model, leaving the cooling solution to the users' choice, a decision that has the collateral effect of a lower price. The motherboards even include an AIO pump connector, so users aren't limited to air cooling. Minisforum confirmed that the CPU has a TDP of 100 W and can also operate at 120 W. Also in the series of minor changes, the BD795M motherboard lacks the SSD heatsink and SSD fan connector but includes an internal antenna adapter.

With its futuristic look, including the tempered-glass side and front, the AK5G RGB is the ultimate home for high-end hardware which has to be seen.

Behind the motherboard tray, two 2.5" SSDs or one 3.5" HDD can be installed, offering maximum storage support.

ADLINK Technology Inc., a global leader in edge computing, announces the launch of the new AmITX Mini-ITX motherboards, a range of compact form factor motherboards sporting the latest Intel technology for high-performance computing. The new AmITX series supports processor options ranging from low power consumption Intel N97 to high-performance 14/13/12th generation Intel Core i9/i7/i5/i3 and includes features such as PCIe 5.0 x16, 2.5 Gbe, DDR5, USB 3.2 Gen 2, and M.2 B/E/M Key to suit applications in smart city, smart manufacturing, and smart medicine.

The Mini-ITX motherboards in the AmITX series boast 2.5GbE LAN for ultra-fast data connectivity, USB 3.2 Gen 2 to connect with other devices, M.2 B/E/M Key slots for SSD, and wireless cards, and RS-232/422/485 to connect with machine components. The high-performance computing AmITX-RL-I supports 14/13/12th Gen Intel Core i9/i7/i5/i3 processors up to 65 W TDP, up to 64 GB of DDR5 4800 MHz memory, and has a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for a GPU card. The low power consumption AmITX-ALN has an Intel N97 processor with 12 W ultra-low power, supports up to 32 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz memory, and has a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot.

When the initial batch of AMD X870/E motherboards were announced, there were no signs of Mini-ITX motherboards, but now Gigabyte has launched its first X870 Mini-ITX board and it's a bit of a hit and miss in our opinion. The X870I Aorus Pro Ice comes in white, as per the Ice moniker that Gigabyte likes to use for its white products and this might really appeal to some and put others off. Feature wise, we're looking at a single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot—as per most Mini-ITX boards—two NVMe M.2 slots, one PCIe 5.0 and one PCIe 4.0, but for some reason, Gigabyte decided that a single USB4 port was enough.

What makes the single USB4 port decision even worse is the fact that the board only has a USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gbps USB Type-C port and the front panel header is also limited to 10 Gbps. On a brand new board, this is really quite disappointing, but the Pro SKUs are usually feature limited models from Gigabyte. The rest of the ports around the back consists of an HDMI 2.1 port, although it too is limited to 4K 60 Hz output, which again is disappointing—the USB4 port is capable of 4K at 240 Hzvia DP Alt mode—two USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gbps USB Type-A ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 5 Gbps USB Type-A ports and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, a 2.5 Gbps RJ45 Ethernet jack, a WiFi antenna connector for the onboard RTL8922AE WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 module and a pair of 3.5 mm audio jacks mounted on a separate PCB. There's also a BIOS flashing button around the back.
