Back when ITX was just taking off it was very much reserved in its own space aimed at a set market and it was pretty much unsure what path board makers will take. Right now though, things are very much in place and board makers now include the ITX form factor in their port folio of to include in many of their dedicated series of products. Today we’ll look at such a product from MSI, the Z97I GAMING AC ITX motherboard which is a part of the company’s GAMING line of motherboard.
The Z97I GAMING AC features many of the bells and whistles you expect from the high-end ATX models but crams it all in the small ITX form making it a no-compromise option when it comes to single-card applications while still placing it up in the GAMING stack for MSI’s Z97 port folio for its complete set of offering.
