ROG Strix H270I Gaming motherboards combine a compact, mini-ITX form-factor with bold aesthetics, premier performance, & incredible audio to deliver gaming experiences with punch & unrivaled style. Support for the latest Intel processors & technologies, plus exclusive ROG innovations — such as the revolutionary double-decker heat sink — take performance to the next level to give you the edge against opponents. ROG Strix H270I charges every movement of every game with thrilling energy & equips you with epic speed & agility. Join the Republic with ROG Strix H270I Gaming & dominate your game! Gaming innovation ROG Strix H270I Gaming has an innovative double-decker heatsink design that allows the M.2 SSD to be stacked atop of the PCH heat sink, which is then topped off with an additional metal heatsink for the M.2 drive. The two heatsinks are thermally isolated to prevent the PCH & M.2 from affecting each other. The double decker design not only cleverly maximizes the board space on mini ITX board, but also dramatically improves heat dissipation, cooling the M.2 SSD by up to 20°C for better stability & enhanced gaming performance while featuring a stylish angular design to enhance the look of ROG Strix H270I Gaming builds. Outshine the competition ASUS Aura Sync RGB LED technology makes ROG Strix H270I Gaming the control hub for your illumination ambitions — so its easy to synchronize incredible lighting effects between compatible components, including RGB LED strips, graphics cards, keyboards & even mice! Change all LEDs in unison or employ dynamic modes to flow the illumination effects smoothly across all synchronized devices
