GIGABYTE Z590I Vision D (LGA 1200/ Intel/ Z590/ Mini-ITX/Dual M.2/ PCIe 4.0/ Front USB Type-C/Intel WiFi 6/2.5GbE LAN/Motherboard)

One of the best mini itx motherboard that I have purchased. You can’t go wrong with this one.

This board work flawlessly and supports Windows 11. This wasn't my first build so I knew what to expect and this board fulfilled my needs. 11th gen I7 processor, 32gb of ddr4 4000 memory, Corsair liquid cooling, and a Nvidia graphics card completed my build. A word of caution, I tried air cooling but the cooler I selected even though it was listed on the manufacturers site didn't fit due to very close quarters around the CPU socket.

No FP Audio header will drive perfectionist crazy. 90% of chassis has FP audio, but you’ll have to let that cable dangle. The DP port in the back is only for input, not output, which means you’ll need to get an adapter for the thunderbolt if you want to use integrated video.Other than that, it’s a good looking board, that almost got it right

This little Mini MB does hav ea lot of features but they forgot, or made value judgements on, some others. On a positive note the board has Thunderbolt, 3 fan sockets bwsides the CPU pump, and six SATA ports. On the other hand in today's world what board really needs 6 SATA ports when you have 2 NVMe M.2 connections? My biggest gripe is why they arbitrarily eliminated any front sockets for the front Headphones or HD Sound. Almost all boards have those sockets and cases have the cables to plug into rhem. We built with this board and have dead ports on the front of the case for the headphones & micerophone. So those along with the HD audio wires have no where to go. What were they thinking - or NOT thinking?

Great connectivity and port selection, excellent performance for the price, reliable and stable.Have always gone ASUS in the past, but GIGABYTE has shown me that maybe I should shop around a bit more going forward.

I wanted to keep this, but it did not have the front audio port connector. I had to return it. I wanted it because it would have been a good all around mini itx motherboard with thunderbolt 4. The price was right. But I had to return it. It is not a big thing, so if you need thunderbolt 4 and don't want front audio port connector, this would be a decent fit for you.

Complete and Brandnew

The ITX platform’s biggest challenge is the cooling.1. Why the Gigabyte only releases the Intel vision mobo! Intel has worse heat management than AMD. This mobo on a wrong platform from design phase.2. The consequence is if you install an air cooler, it must be a high profile one, which covers the mobo surface. I buy this mobo because of the looking, I do not want the cooler covers my mobo.3. No liquid cooler will fit on this mobo, I have tested three different LC, all money was wasted, if you try different LC like me, the Amazon charge you 50% restock fee for sign of using.As shown on the pic, the tube bracket occupies the ram space.Finally, I bought this mobo because of its looking, and I have spent extra extra money on the Gigabyte Vision 3080 Ti for paring to this mobo, and this mobo is over $300, and plus liquid cooling restock fees. If I have a second chance I won’t buy this board, other options like aorus series can save you over $300 on your build for the same specs, and free up AMD options for you too.
