Motherboard Smallest 1151 socket motherboard

[buLL]

Hey guys!

I was doing a Google search about the worlds smallest motherboard with a 1151 socket, and I just found this one. See how awesome this little thing looks! Unfortunately, I think they are not available for the general public, only for specific requests. Anyway, I think it would be cool making you guys aware of its existence.

We only need a PCIe x4 slot !
Great find

OMG Brilliant

@Aibohphobia New challenge! World's most powerful 3.5in Hard Drive!

I might be able to use this in my new project if STX doesn't work out. Are the mounting holes to LGA standard?

I'm not seeing CPU cooler mounting holes, just board mounting holes. The heatsink needs to be suspended by the case or be part of the case. Or use thermal adhesive. I'm perplexed they went with a desktop socket, a mobile socket or even soldered CPU would have made a lot more sense.

Yeah same here, this is weird

There are other tiny boards available, some with more PCIe lanes available.

Make it for a Xeon and allow 64gb ram and 2 2280 ports.

Anyone find a cooler solution for this yet?

Sorry for reviving this old thread, but I saw this and was intrigued. On axiomtecs product page, the 4th image shows a cooling solution:

I sent in an inquiry and they responded! An affiliate actually gave me a link to a product purchase page and for $379-$465 you can get these in either H110 or Q170:

It's about $400 and can be bought on Mouser.com. I was toying with the idea of this as the ultimate SFF gaming PC if I could get my hands on a low profile GPU and a 35W CPU, but the mPCIe connection on it is x1 @ 1.1, basically making any GPU utterly useless.

UDOO BOLD is
- smaller (120mm x 120mm vs 146mm x 104mm)
- cheaper ($300 vs $400 + CPU)
- more powerful (Vega 8 vs HD 630)

I'm sure there are plenty of sff boards that make much much more sense. I think latte panda is making a gaming version of their board rn, but it was interesting seeing this as I've never really seen a sbc this size with a desktop socket.
