A person looking to purchase an ITX motherboard might be someone who values compact systems. Other benefits could include cost-effectiveness, space efficiency, or compatibility with smaller components.
Hi there, ITX fan here. The sole reason I own an ATX setup is because I unknowingly got one during a conversion project. The rest of my rigs run on ITX boards. You're spot on about the main perk being the compact size. Weight comes into it too, since choosing an ATX usually means a smaller, lighter case. In my opinion, they’re also way more enjoyable to assemble. It’s all about fitting everything together, which makes the process more engaging. ITX isn’t for everyone—it suits a particular kind of builder, maybe even a bit of a challenge. I love it, value those advantages, and that’s why I prefer going this route.
They generally provide superior memory overclocking due to more layers and a 1DPC memory layout. The record for memory frequency was achieved on an ITX board for some time. Otherwise, space constraints limit most options.
