Still in vogue
The Asus H110I-PLUS is one of the most affordable Mini-ITX motherboards, compatible with the latest Kaby Lake processors, including the best-selling Pentium G4560. A new revision of this motherboard has already begun to go on sale, supporting Kaby Lake, as they say, out of the box. But if you come across an instance of an older revision, you will need to manually update the BIOS firmware.
No problem
The theoretical disadvantage of the Intel H110 chipset compared to the new B250 and even the old B150 is the DMI 2.0 bus instead of 3.0. But in fact, the chipset interacts through this bus not with a fast processor and graphics card, but with much slower SATA and PCI-E x1 devices. Therefore, the throughput of even the old version of the DMI bus is enough for most users.
outdoor installation
Despite the reduced size of the printed circuit board (some of the electronic components had to be moved to the back), the Asus H110I-PLUS is a full-featured motherboard with two full-size DDR4-2133 DIMM memory slots and a full-speed slot for a PCI-E 3.0 x16 graphics card. The lack of PCI-E x1 slots for internal expansion cards (improved sound, wireless network, video recording) is partially offset by numerous USB ports for external devices that perform the same functions.
