ITX MoBos options like Asus ROG B760, AsRock Z790M and Gigabyte Z690 AORUS ULTRA all share a comparable price. Which stands out depends on your needs. Asus B-series mobos offer some customization potential and seem to use higher-end parts, while AsRock’s design is straightforward but features the Z790 chipset. Gigabyte sits in the middle with an older chipset but still provides more features than AsRock. The difference between Z690 and Z790 is minimal, though newer models like Z790 or B760 usually come with better DDR5 memory support.

With a 13th generation processor, I’d choose the ASUS ROG Strix B760 board. I’d definitely pick the ROG Strix version.

Both heatsinks sit on top of the system, which is ideal for ITX setups, ensuring proper cooling in an SFF case.

Despite being labeled solved, I think it's important to note that Gigabyte had to pull back a version of that board. All the other versions they didn't recall are also reported to have significant memory problems.

This effectively positions the Asus ROG Strix B760 as the top choice. I was concerned about the B-series due to reports of downvolting problems with 13th generation CPUs on other platforms.
