ASUS ROG Strix B660-I Gaming WiFi LGA 1700(Intel 12th Gen) Mini-ITX Motherboard(PCIe 5.0, 8+1 Power Stages, DDR5,WiFi 6,2.5 Gb LAN, 2xM.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD Support, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C)

I've used this for 2 builds now. Flawless installation. Good build quality. Posted right away with no problems. Here are my components:Mobo: Asus Rog Strix B660-I GamingRAM: Corsair Dominator CMT32GX5M2B5200C40, GSkill Trident Z5 F5-5600J4040C16GA2-TZ5RSNVME: Sabrent Rocket Q, WD SN750CPU: Intel i5-12400Cooler: Asus Tuf Gaming LC120 AIOFan: Coolermaster mf120 haloNotes:-You must install the drivers from the dvd before any hardware components (LAN, wifi, bluetooth) will work. This is the first thing I do after installing windows.-The ROG symbol on the mobo does not actually have any LED lighting. It's just an iridescent sticker that doesn't do anything.-I am using the Armoury Crate program which works well by itself to run fans and the RGB LED's. I initially installed the AI Suite but then uninstalled it as it seems unnecessary.-The GSkill RAM works out of the box with aura sync and is synced on startup. The Corsair RAM does not work out of the box. You have to run the Corsair iCue and then install the aura sync add-on. But if you run iCue on startup, it screws up the aura sync on startup. So in the end, I'm running the Armoury Crate on startup but not the iCue which gets all the RGB working properly except for the Corsair RAM. Bottom line is if the RAM RGB sync is important to you, get the GSkill.-The Aura sync works fine with the AIO fan, Coolermaster fan, and Airgoo LED strips. You will need to get an ARGB splitter cable - I'm using the Coolermaster version.

Simply by nature these Mini Motherboards can't have the power the big ATX and E-ATX boards are capable of having. That is a simple logistics element. There is only so much room to put the parts. Certain things must be on there for the motherboard to function so they cut down the quantity i.e. 2 NVMe rather than 5, and one is on the back of the board. Fewer power capacitors, and fewer sockets for power, SATA, fans, and ARGB. This board has those things maxed out for its size. Just looking at a computer won't tell you what size motherboard is used but this board stacks up against many of larger size. It is capable of fairly powerful gaming and "standard' computer tasks will just breeze by. We have built 4-or 5 units using this board and all our customer are very please with the units.

Used for gaming. Great board and no issues so far.

Solid motherboard, good price for the features it offers. Only thing is that it supports DDR5 but that shouldn’t be a problem in few months as the DDR5 prices falling down

I don't need to reiterate all the features of the board; you can read that yourself. But Asus, you need to highlight LGA 1200 bracket compatibility! I wasted three days waiting for an LGA 1700 bracket (off Amazon, which didn't fit my Kraken 120 btw, but I knew it was a gamble) and just for s--ts and grins, I tried to fit the 1200 backet that came with my AIO on the board. Imagine my surprise when it actually fit. I then went through the motherboard manual and finally found the page where it said you could use either 1200 or 1700 bracket. Aargh!So yea, I'm giving this thing 5 eggs just for LGA 1200 compatibility alone. I mean, we're like 6 months or more past when LGA 1700 was released and every brand of CPU cooler I know still doesn't include the brackets for it; you have to special order it off their website and then they tell you it's on back order. It sucks. Again, I feel like it this needs to be highlighted more. Especially for boomer-lites like me, that only builds a pc once every 4-5 years and don't keep up with the latest trends.

I bought this motherboard after several months reading and researching about it, especially because I wanted to get an i7 12700k. While I know many will advise against getting a "K" CPU, I wanted the most performance straight out of the box and I really don't care about overclocking at all. So the Asus B660-I Gaming was my choice for my first ITX build and all I can say is that it delivers what's expected from it.Solid performance, great I/O, 2 M.2 slots. Very easy to install and decent clearance for my AIO block (Cooler Master PL240 Flux).I am very satisfied with it.

Mighty mini motherboard handles my i5-12600K efficiently and at low temps. With a Noctua NH-U9S cooler and only one case fan the temps barely break 40C. Despite the high heatsinks on the power delivery caps the Noctua 92mm fan fit perfectly on the board. Read some complaints about high temps on the NVME drives but my Samsung 980 Pro runs at less than 45C under load. The downside was that the high plastic cover on the I/O unit prevented cable management of the CPU power cable even though the Fractal Design Nano case provided a hole for running the cable behind the motherboard. The build has been running consistently for several months now and am pleased with this ITX system--my first one. Thought that an ITX motherboard might be too hard to build on but this one was a pleasant surprise and Asus used the standard front panel configuration which helped.
