This board is especially a great value being well under $100 while current AM4 ITX boards all costing more than that. Only thing that would hold me back is that the onboard audio is probably a downgrade from what I have, then I gotta use the Xonar U3 which is a big dongle of a USB card...
@CC Ricers, if the board is to my liking, due to it being very unique on its own. I will see I can wholesale purchase a bunch of them for easier availability in the west 
I must say, SuperBuy makes nice pictures. But I like that the board is shipped in a Gigabyte box haha

Wow. The back of that board is completely bare. They should have put a pcie x4 slot and like 3 more m.2 2280 slots. they've got plenty of room!
It's LGA 115X mounting, and that means a TON of LP coolers fit.
It is interesting! Very unique board!
Like windfall said its 115x, the coolers i bought are that aswell
The coolers are like 21-22mm in height.
With lets say a 3 to 5mm standoff from the case (which im developing myself) it would be less then 3 cm in thinkness, so which so proper gap for air the build (incl case) could end up with a size of 18 x 18 x 4 cm, which is 1.3L

Challenge: get the volume as close as possible to the volume of the power brick needed to run it.Like windfall said its 115x, the coolers i bought are that aswell

On a more serious note, this looks awesome. Looking forward to hearing how well (or not) those coolers perform. Looks like both of yours have heatpipes (unlike the first one posted in this thread) which ought to make them somewhat decent, at least.
It can if it would have been a STX format, with horizonal ram slots.
What do you reckon the odds on running one of these passive with say a 200GE, its a 35W cpu after all. OK it blows the skinny AF idea out the window as you could slap an IS-30 from ID Cooling on which is 30mm. but for science!
ITX board case size enclosure (70mm high?), an M2/SSD, RAM and see if a low power brick solution could be shoe horned in. The plug could be interesting though.

If you're running passive, why not use a regular ITX board? I don't quite see the benefit of going thin-ITX if you're going to need a big enough case to fit a suitable passive cooler anyhow. Of course thin-ITX saves you the hassle of getting a DC-ATX PSU, but on the other hand regular boards are more full-featured and (usually) cheaper. Then again, a 35W CPU should be possible to cool passively with a case-panel heatsink (like HDPlex's passive cases) even at relatively small size, so if there are any thin-ITX cases with a design like this out there, that'd be mighty interesting.
True, bit sucked into the moment I think there. a thin blower style cooler could work. I would think though the power brick is going to be the main sticking point if your trying to keep the size down, but then a low power CPU will help with that anyway. I may have a dabble with some super slim PC at some point.
That very clearly has a fanned cooling system. Looks like they're using stock Intel heatsinks without the fan, but with a separate fan mounted in hte case somewhere - I'm guessing it's integrated into the bottom plate next to the PSU.Luna Design said:
As I said above, it'll be really interesting to see what @BryceK 's results are with those coolers. Definitely interesting. It's pretty crazy that it's possible today to build a fast 4c8t system with a decent iGPU (capable of mid-to-low 1080p or high-ish 720p gaming) into a case no bigger than the Asus nettop I once bought for my parents which had a 2nd or 3rd-gen Atom - and entirely upgradeable and serviceable to boot (that thing was ... neither).
There are ever fewer reasons for people to own full-size desktops.
