Asus ROG Strix Z690-I Gaming WiFi Leak Shows Off Stacked Board Design
Over the past few generations of Mini-ITX boards we've seen Asus add more and more stacked layers and its upcoming ROG Strix Z690-I Gaming WiFi seems to be taking this to the next level with what appears to be no less than three stacked layers on top of the main PCB. What can be seen from the side-shot of the boards is that there's at least one PCB for audio as well as what appears to be an ARGB and fan header, as well as what should be two layers for M.2 NVMe SSDs with associated heatsinks.
The rest of the pictures of the board have been put through some kind of filter which makes it hard to ascertain any details, although we can spot a USB type-C and USB 3.0 front panel connector. Asus has carried over the VRM heatsink from the Strix Z590-I Gaming WiFi by the looks of things, although it seems like the extra NVMe slot has been implemented on the cost of two SATA ports. We'll have to wait until the official unveiling to find out the full details, which should be sometime next month.

If someone told me it had the same amount of functionality as a single-layered MicroATX board, I wouldn't immediately dismiss that statement.
@W1zzard Would love a review of this or a similar board. It'd be great to see how the build experience is on one of these.

We've gotten a lot better connectors since then though. Who knows, maybe this board has a third slot on the back?
Why not use the motherboard plate a a heatsink for the rear SSD? Just requires a thick thermal pad...
itx is expensive : 10 layer , 90A vrm , low sale

He ran a BBS on it... Sadly the Taiwanese companies never listen to suggestions, as we're just stupid bignoses that knows nothing.
