Best Mini ITX Motherboards of 2025

"I built my PC with the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and it worked flawlessly! I reused my old power supply and peripherals, saving a couple hundred dollars."

"For my audio DAW machine, I'm using this motherboard with a Ryzen 5 4600G and it operates flawlessly. I'm very pleased and would definitely recommend it."

"I found the ASRock A520M Phantom Gaming 4 to be a solid choice for my budget. It performs well with my Ryzen 5 processor, making it suitable for casual gaming and everyday tasks without any noticeable issues."

"I bought this motherboard to pair with my Ryzen 5700G processor and 64GB of RAM in a fanless Mini-ITX case. It works flawlessly under Arch Linux, providing a silent and efficient system for multitasking and media playback. The layout is well-designed, making the build process easier. I highly recommend the Gigabyte A520I AC!"

"Initially, I received a motherboard that appeared to be opened with a broken diode. I returned it and got a new one, which has been great. The BIOS was easy to flash and updating the drivers was straightforward. After updating the wireless driver, my Wi-Fi has been stable, and it works perfectly for my mini ITX build."

"I purchased this board for a friend's entry-level gaming build. It’s totally acceptable, but the single M.2 slot and slower Wi-Fi are a bit inconvenient. Also, the package didn’t include motherboard standoff screws, so I had to find some myself. Overall, it's a great option for the price!"

"This ASUS motherboard is pure quality. No flimsy parts and a solid build. I noticed the difference immediately compared to my previous MSI motherboards. Windows 11 and Linux Mint installed without issues. I’m using it with NVMe and SATA drives; there’s no going back now!"

"I bought this to pair with a KXrors S300 case. It fits well and was mostly easy to work with. The only issue was the location of one power connection at the bottom of the motherboard, which conflicted with bottom-mounted fans in the compact case. I had to omit a fan because of this."

"The ASUS ROG Strix B760-A Gaming WiFi D4 is truly the heart of my dream PC build. Its white aesthetic perfectly matches my setup, and it performs impressively under heavy loads. The quick-release PCIe slot and M.2 quick latches make upgrades seamless. The build quality is exceptional, making it a wise investment."

"I had no issues with the b650e ITX. Yes, it had no LAN or Wi-Fi drivers, but getting them on a USB was super simple. Honestly, I don’t see why people complain. No coil whine issue at all; it’s super silent. I would buy another one if I needed it."

"I was a bit hesitant to purchase from ASUS again because my previous board had faulty USB headers, leading to BSODs. However, this one runs smoothly. While it has a slightly longer boot time, it doesn’t bother me. I’ve had zero errors since finishing my build, and the design is very clean and cool."

"Overall, I think it’s a good motherboard. I faced some initial confusion about compatibility, especially with the AM5 backplate, which caused me to buy the wrong heatsink. But once I figured it out, it worked well with my 7950X3D and RTX 4070. Just be mindful of the slow boot time if you need to access the BIOS often!"

"I bought this motherboard for a compact build in China, and it runs Windows 11 flawlessly. After three months, I'm still satisfied. It's hassle-free, and I would definitely buy it again, though built-in wifi would be a nice addition."

"I purchased this motherboard for my 3D printed case. The price is fantastic, but I noticed some corners were cut. It has only four USB ports, which isn't enough for my needs. The design could also be better; for example, the case fan headers are under the CPU cooler, making installation tricky. Still, if you need a budget mini-ITX board, this is a solid option."

"I've built many computers, and this is my second M-ITX build. Unfortunately, this motherboard has been the least enjoyable to work with. It shipped with only one M.2 screw, and I had to buy additional screws for my wifi card. The lack of built-in wifi is disappointing, as I ended up spending more on a separate card. I might consider a different brand for my next build."

"I found the MSI Mag B650 a breeze to install. Solid construction, support for 2 NVMe SSDs, and DDR5 memory were standout features for me. The instructions were helpful, though my case front panel headers didn't quite match the diagram. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this motherboard!"

"Jumping back into PC building after 20 years was overwhelming, but the MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi made it easy. Everything was clearly labeled, and all my components were recognized instantly. Installing an AIO cooler was simple, and the motherboard stays cool while streaming. Overall, it’s a fantastic deal for the price!"

"My experience with the MSI MPG B650 Edge WiFi has been outstanding. It handles my RGB-heavy setup effortlessly, with plenty of USB ports and M.2 slots. The RGB management is seamless, and the Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 provide fast connectivity. I highly recommend this motherboard for anyone looking for high performance and aesthetics!"

“I purchased this motherboard to pair with an AMD 8500g. Although I anticipated needing to update the BIOS beforehand, the price was appealing. The process was straightforward, but I struggled with the lack of vendor documentation. After watching some YouTube videos, I discovered that the update was highly dependent on the USB stick's format. I initially used an older USB 2.0 formatted as FAT32, which was widely recommended, but it didn’t work. Eventually, I found an old USB that I could format to FAT16, and when I plugged it in, the lights started blinking, indicating progress. After the update, everything worked well, except for a glitchy Bluetooth connection, which I later resolved with a new driver. Now, a month later, the motherboard has been a champ – no issues at all, so I’m upgrading my rating to 5 stars.”

“I was a bit nervous due to some reviews, but this motherboard has been working as advertised with my 7800x3d. I recommend updating the BIOS as it helped my USB ports function consistently. While it lacks an extra M.2 slot and has only two USB ports, it's manageable with a large HDD or SSD. Overall, it’s been a solid performer at a good price.”

“I bought this for a compact SFF build, and honestly, it’s a great board for the price. It comes with all the features I could want. The Wi-Fi works great and has a good range. I would definitely recommend it to anyone on a budget.”

"I found this motherboard to be exactly what I needed for my OPNSense router project. Its mini-ITX design and lack of WiFi make it perfect for my setup. The build quality is impressive, and while the UEFI BIOS isn't as robust as others I've used, it gets the job done. The fact that it supports DDR5 is a big plus in this category."

"Overall, I'm quite satisfied with this board. I paired it with an i3 14100F and RTX3060, and it functions well. However, I did need to update the BIOS before it would boot. The onboard sound wasn't great, so I ended up using a USB sound card instead for better audio quality."

"While I appreciate the affordability of this motherboard, I was disappointed to find that it seemed used upon arrival. The USB 3.2 pins appeared damaged, and I just couldn't justify powering it on. I'm opting for an MSI MAG B760 instead, as my experience with this product has led me to move away from Gigabyte."

"I used this in an open-case build and found it well-engineered and visually appealing. The BIOS may be tricky, but it has all the necessary settings. The integrated Wi-Fi delivers near hardline speeds. I added mini heatsinks to the VRMs, which helped lower the temperature. Overall, I’m very pleased with the performance and silent operation of my build."

"This motherboard exceeded my expectations. It’s the only B650 board I know of that features PCIE x16 gen 5 for GPUs. If you're building a white AM5 setup, I highly recommend it. Although I'm not a fan of ASRock Polychrome for RGB control, OpenRGB works perfectly. The board looks stunning and offers plenty of PCIE lanes and NVME slots."

"I replaced an older FX board in my HTPC with this one, and it works flawlessly. After a couple of Windows 11 reinstalls, it’s stable now. However, I found the memory slots a bit difficult to deal with in my case. Unfortunately, I encountered beep codes and extended boot times, and the board has become defective, leading me to the RMA process. I’m not impressed with the warranty terms and might reconsider my choice for future builds."

"I bought this from Amazon warehouse used for $152, and the package was like new. The board was still sealed, and I saved $60. I had to update the BIOS to boot my Ryzen 5000 series CPU, but it worked perfectly after that. It's a great board with 8 fan headers and multiple RGB options. The VRM's are outstanding, and it can handle a 5950x easily. Just keep in mind, there's no internal USB-C header."

"I've found this board to be really good. My only minor issue is the RAM slots are close to the CPU socket, which required me to adjust my cooler fan. It does need a BIOS update for 5000 series CPUs, but the Q flash feature makes it easy. The orange light on the back of the IO is cool, and I can turn it off if I want. Overall, it's a solid choice."

"I got this motherboard for my Hydra Mini chassis build. It went together well, but I experienced an issue with 4G decoding causing problems in Windows. After switching it off, everything worked fine. The M.2 mounting confused me at first, but I figured it out. I've been using it without any issues for a few days now and would recommend it."
