i doubt it. Mini-ITX is power limited so you don't want people to be killing the thing.
There is no onboard wireless network like Zotac 9300.
Better onboard graphic?
I'm saying it probably won't be an OCer like the ATX boards....the board can't handle that much power draw.Sorry but I don't understand what you are trying to say...
Yeah could be tough to plug in your monitor with no ports on the back as wellNo on-board wireless is a bummer.
As for on-board graphics: there aren't any. P55 chipset, my friend.

I'm no expert on this stuff to say the least but the Gigabyte P55-UD4 has 12 no? The P55-UD2 has 6 clearly and this one doesn't appear to have 6 but 4....am I blind (yes, I really can't see well on a computer), someone show me what I'm missing because the chances of me being wrong is like 99%Hmm like fr500 said, it seems to be some kind of 5+1 phase power management (from the pix). Not too shabby IMO. OK you won't be breaking OCing records, but that should be pretty good nevertheless. That's the same as the P55M-UD2, no?
It's gonna be the best out there but DFI doesn't make the strongest OCers...but really, I think this is going to be great.

I don't read a large number of ATX reviews...I just happen to remember out of their two mATX AM3 boards one is not that great and one hasn't been reviewed (785g one) but the construction of the Gigabyte is superior, no?It all depends, really. There are people on this SFF forum who will swear by their DFI JR P45. From what I understand they are not easy to master, but once mastered they produce very good results. I don't really know about other chipsets, though.
My DFI-NF4 would like to have a word with you.

Haven't the recent reviews kinda been dull compared to the competition?Really haha. DFI are awesome clockers.
I'd like to see DFI release an AMD version of this board next.
I still like AMD better because their sockets don't change as often and are backwards compatible for a while.Haven't the recent reviews kinda been dull compared to the competition?

No on-board wireless is a bummer.
Even though it's an extra, at the very most, $20 I'm really glad they didn't pack in a useless 802.11G card onboard. Or even onboard N. Sorry. I already have one that I use. I don't want another internal wireless card taking up space in my junk drawer (I already have three from the Zotac boards I've bought).
Very true...and they are overall cheaper.I still like AMD better because their sockets don't change as often and are backwards compatible for a while.

Yeah I agree...it appears to be better than the Intel one coming out as well.They've really reached a plateau, all enthusiast boards overclock pretty much the same under normal conditions. Of course there are exceptions and pretty much every board has wierd quirks. I'm confident that this board will be the best overclocking ITX board yet.
I think everyone is on the bandwagon that mini-itx is the new SFF. I know SFFClub is going to concentrate more on it than mATX. Anandtech had an article about mini-itx being SFF and the IDC confirms that the small 13L and under cases are gaining huge amounts of the market share as is AIO.Yeah I think as we said in the past, mini ITX is the new mATX. I think manufacturers need to wake up and smell the coffee. 60cm-high towers triple-GTX295 (or whatever) with 1200W PSU will/should become a thing of the past. The new standard is mATX, and the new SFF is mini ITX, especially with 1-chip chipsets.
My pet peeve now is graphics cards manufacturers who seem to want to produce bigger and more power-hungry cards. Why did all of a sudden AMD produce a 5870 slightly longer than 10.5in? Until now their 4870/4890 were much shorter. And what do we hear from nVidia? They want to produce a 2-billion transistor GPU. How are they going to cool that? 13" triple slot cards? I mean what the hell. Anything bigger than a 5770 (ok then, a 5850) is ridiculous. I just sold my GTX 260 and when I took it out of my case I realised I had forgotten how big it is. Ridiculous (I know I said it already, but I like it).

You guys hit it right on the button...32nm CPU's are fast-approaching, and should hit 25nm in the not-too-distant future...GPUs are down to 40nm and 32nm should be no more than 2 1/2 years off...don't even get me started with how much more powerful mobile GPU's have gotten...I think everyone is on the bandwagon that mini-itx is the new SFF.

You are right though...the GPUs are ridiculous. No one is going to wait a case with a depth of 1.5+ feet just because the GPU is there.

SO WHY THE HELL ARE VIDEO CARDS APPROACHING 13.5 INCHES IN LENGTH?
