List of Mini-ITX/DTX motherboards with a Key A header (for front panel USB C)

[littlefatwolf]

I planned to buy ROG Strix B450-I. But now, it seems I need to pay twice more to make the front type-c work

Just checked ROG Strix X570-I, no 20-pin from the picture either. Hope Asus can add it before official release.

I wouldn’t count on it. Those sort of changes require PCB relayout usually, and that’s time consuming to do through a new round of engineering samples/etc. Once they are showing it in public, they’re usually trying to nail down firmware and final parts suppliers.

I’m planning to go with the blank plate on the front. But I don’t really need it for a gaming rig.

Can you connect a rear usb-c with the front header? From a stylish point of view absolutely not pretty. But i don't want to pay for the 400 dollar assus x570.
ASRock X470 Gaming-ITX/AC had got a rear usb-c

Does anyone know if there will be clearance issues by using the ASUS Crossimpact, it's expansion card for M.2, and a Kraken X52?

Couple questions, where the hell did you find one and what case is it going in?

 

[TasteTheBean]

@Hohyss can you let us know how tall the expansion card is?

 

[Hohyss]

Hi all, some friends at home today but i answer soon
Find at alternate.de (or .fr) and install in futur M1 V6 and on a benchtable now.

@Hohyss can you let us know how tall the expansion card is?

length 96mm
depth 76mm with conector
thickness 16mm with radiator

Setup Ok with Noctua NH-C14S

Edit : Some photos

The crosshair VIII would be tempting if it fit w/sound card with 2070 super and no bottom fans. Motherboard is the last remaining piece I’ll need once the M1 preorders ship.

 

[TasteTheBean]

Does it shift the graphics down, i.e. making the compatible list of GPU different? I ordered the EVGA 2070 Super XC Ultra, already knowing I can not add fans beneath it.

depth 76mm with conector

The maximum height of an air cooled CPU cooler is: 130mm with side fan bracket installed, 135mm without.

NZXT Kraken X52 has a radiator thickness of 30mm. Add the fans, 25mm, for a total of 55mm.

That means there's an allowed clearance of 75mm.

Is my math wrong or would we be forced to use thin fans?

If you use the Kraken you have to use the fan bracket to attach it to, won't have the clearance for the Crosshair.

How. Did. You. Get. That.

I thought that was coming out in a month!

EDIT: Super wish I was in Europe about now: https://www.alternate.de/ASUS/ROG-CROSSHAIR-VIII-IMPACT-Mainboard/html/product/1555263?event=search

There's actually quite a bit of space vertically between the GPU and the fan bracket - over 32mm in the upper mounting position:

This should be more than enough for the Crosshair's expansion card.

What CAD program is that?

The dimension text looks like Alibre's default font.

Are you saying that with the SO--DIMM.2 card installed, the Noctua C14S is still able to fit properly?

Sketchup. The font is Tahoma.
