Overview

Building a compact Intel Core Ultra PC around this ASUS board starts with its current Intel socket, DDR memory slots and a reinforced top speed PCIe slot for the graphics card. DIY touches like a pre-mounted I/O shield and BIOS FlashBack make the build easier.

Strong VRMs, fast storage and current wireless networking in a micro ATX size suit a capable small form factor build. Fewer expansion slots than full ATX limit add-in cards.

Who it's for

Gamers and creators building a smaller tower with a single GPU will be well served. Workstation builders with multiple expansion cards should consider a full ATX board.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Robust power stages
  • PCIe 5.0 graphics and M.2
  • Newest Wi-Fi onboard
  • Pre-mounted I/O shield
Cons
  • Micro ATX limits expansion
  • Only one PCIe 5.0 M.2
  • 2.5Gb LAN, not 5Gb or 10Gb
  • Thunderbolt needs add-in card

Performance notes

Power stage count and heatsinks determine how steadily the board feeds a high end CPU under load. One top generation storage slot unlocks the fastest SSDs, while the other two run a generation slower. AI Cooling adjusts fan curves to temperature.
