The motherboard is the central hub of any PC regardless of the overall aim of the build. It connects all of the components together so that they can ‘talk’ to each other and bring about their dedicated purpose.Without it, the other components would be useless.
There are actually several different types of motherboard available. Which one you choose depends on what your use for the PC is. If you are wanting to build a small form factor PC, or an HTPC (home theatre PC), a Mini-ITX motherboard will be used.
This is the smallest form factor that is currently available on the market. With the ITX variety, there are two main types which is based on the CPU you want to use. These are AMD and Intel motherboards. Everything else on a PC is interchangeable between builds, apart from the motherboard and CPU. What this means is that if you choose to use an AMD CPU and you then decide you want an Intel CPU down the line, you will need to get an Intel motherboard instead.
When it comes to picking the best mini ITX motherboard, it’s important that you get the right one. There are quite a few available on the market, so it can be tough to pick out what the best ones are. Generally speaking, it is important that the one you buy is from a reputable supplier such as Asus or MSI. Tied to this is the connectivity. Many of these boards are now equipped with USB type C which is an important thing to look out for since many devices are using this type of interface.
Likewise, there will also be more fan headers on the device which means you can help keep your PC cooler for longer. This is especially important when using a smaller case since if you don’t keep the system cool, it is effectively turning it into an oven. This will in turn damage the components within your case over time.
The more premium units will also have higher quality components. This means that it should last longer as opposed to cheaper products. This also extends to the protection of the other components such as the RAM. When it comes to gaming orientated mini ITX motherboards, many of these now support overclocking which will allow you to increase the performance of the CPU and also the RAM.
