ASRock Fatal1ty X470 Gaming-ITX / ac: new motherboard for small gaming computers

ASRock Fatal1ty X470 Gaming-ITX ac review

The motherboard manufacturer ASRock has just presented its first gaming motherboard, in mini ITX format, for the AMD X470 chipset. The new ASRock Fatal1ty X470 Gaming-ITX / ac is a very compact motherboard but it has all the necessary additions to make it a good model for that segment of small computers.
