I want Asus to make a non-gamer branded board with one of those big ass I/O heatsinks.

Been working on a small SBC/LP single slot GPU based system...
Also, I am now an SFF Guru instead of a master of cable management, and I am now fourth from the bottom on the notable members list.
@jtd871, I'm coming for you!
(And @K888D after that.)
Someday, I will beat everyone, including Aibohphobia. Some day....

Blue. Good contrast against the cooler and suits the muted color of the case.I have an issue - red or blue?
so the 1660ti was released, and I kinda don't get the itx-but-3-slot versions o_o which itx case that's focused on short GPUs would be able to fit those?

but they all accommodate full-length cards in the first place ._. the LZ7 and the like would be out of luck
wouldn't fit; will need cutting; okay there's one
So the bracket requires three actual slots? I thought it was like extended double-slot. That's even more crap.
eeeeeeeeeah.....
EDIT: even if the card has a 2-slot IO shield, that's still a 3-slot width ._.

I'm pretty sure they just made that card to tilt all of us.
posting these here (just so I could close a few tabs ,_,). mostly about ITX boards with 8 SATA ports (and a possible portable NAS build. contemplating if I want it to transcode as well)
- ASRock Rack C236 WSI
- https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=C236 WSI#CPU
- 8 SATA ports
- single USB 3.1 5x1 A port for boot USBs (or adapt an M.2 SSD to USB)
- compatible with gen 6/7 core CPUs (7th gen requires BIOS update)
- i3 7350K (from ebay?)
- https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=C236 WSI#CPU
- ASRock Rack C246 WSI
- supposedly out by march
- https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=C246 WSI#CPU
- 4 SATA ports + 4 more via OCuLink (requires OCuLink to 4xSATA adapter separately)
- SATA/NVMe M.2 2242 socket via PCH (SATA switches lanes with SATA_1 on OCuLink cable)
- compatible with gen 8 core CPUs (no word on 9th gen yet)
- apparently the i3 8100 is better than the 7350k even in some single threaded workloads?

Supermicro officially has the stupidest IO shield nonsense on it.
"Play harder" printed dead smack in the middle. Not only that, but some of the letters are uppercase.

Oh didn't even noticed. Nothing very shocking there, still better than dragon or gun shaped heatsink MSI uses.
Problem solved. Removed the plastic fascia sticker completely.
