The new X299E-ITX/ac is for those who need up to 18 CPU cores and up to 64 GB of quad-channel DDR4 memory in their SFF machines for reasons.

They can make this but not a mDTX board....

This has got to be the best board Asrock has designed in a WHILE. It's like they iterated based on every single user complaint from the previous X99 model.

Its Laptop DDR4. Its pretty easy to find and buy and not extremely overpriced.

And as for the dancase, yes.

I love ASRock. This is absolutely insane and mostly pointless but they did it anyway.

No idea what the card on the left side is, but it looks like the VRMs are on a vertically-mounted card. (Unless that's an M.2 adapter that can also take a DIMM-based Optane drive?

Also, since this is Socket R4, it should be able to use the same coolers as Socket R3 (LGA-2066 and 2011 v3, respectively), and looks like it requires the narrow mount seen on the previous X99 board.

This is one of the "Because we can" products and i support that.

The fact they did go with a regular socket vs the slim like last time helps.

Also the on of the left is M.2

I wonder if Bitspower will make a monoblock for this also? It doesn't look doable, because those VRM's look like they are tucking underneath that SATA port riser board, unless one just forgoes that board, and just utilizes the M.2 solely.

Unbelievable. Almost perfect! I would rather have (2) m.2 slot and full size dim slots. Even if it was 2 slots instead of 4.

Look closer, it uses the normal square mount instead of the narrow one on the previous board.

I find it beautiful both aesthetically and functionally, which are 2 departments I'm not used to see AsRock shining on.
