The Frozr Active Cooling System Looks Huge Next To It!
Fans of ITX systems should take a look at The FPS Review’s MSI MPG B850I EDGE TI WIFI article, as it might just be the next motherboard for you. Among the highlights are a Gen5 PCIe slot, a single Gen5 M.2 slot along with a Gen4, 5Gbps Ethernet, WiFi 7, a 20Gbps USB-C port, and a second 10Gbps USB-C port. Those who hate dealing with case header pins and dislike the aesthetics of small cords running to the motherboard will love the EZ Front Panel Cable and the 1 to 3 EZ Conn-Cable which combines the fan power connectors and RGB cables into a single cable.
The small size doesn’t impact performance at all, with their test parts hitting the same speeds as on full sized boards. The installation of parts is a little more fun, as your fingers don’t have much room to work with, but The FPS Review didn’t run into any huge issues setting up their test system. The $250 price tag is a little higher than most B580 boards, but if you want to build a tiny system with all the performance and most of the features of a larger model, the MPG B850I EDGE TI WIFI could be worth the investment.
