ASRock H610M-ITX/AC Supports 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors (LGA1700) Motherboard

My first Mini ITX build was a confusing. When you go this small (SharGwa PC K29), everything you know about power supplies goes out the window, Mini ITX boards can be as expensive as ATX boards, and cooling can be a challenge. I'm writing this review to say, out of all the hitches and hang ups encountered over the course of my build, this board wasn't one of them. I don't have a lot to say, and I mean that in a good way. My Thermalright AXP-90 X47 actually managed to bend this board, but it's totally fine. It could use a 2nd NVME slot, cause I had to finally buy a 1tb drive I don't need in case I end up needing it.Overall a fantastic board, it works with only 1 of the 2 4 pin CPU power connectors installed, and the included fan control is pretty easy and works great. If I had 1 gripe it would be the lack of 2nd M.2, but for the form factor I understand. Couldn't be happier so far.

Kept getting 5 beeps when powered on and couldn't post, which is a code for either a bad cpu or gpu, pr bios battery, who knows, because asrock won't tell you in the manual. Ended up being a bad hdmi cable. really... why are you checking for this? Just do the normal beep like how it has been for decades, and if I don't see anything, then I'll check the display myself. 5 beeps has got me thinking I have a bad cpu or something, so I do all this troubleshooting for no reason because you are beeping for things that you don't need to be worrying about. Or if you are, at least tell someone about it in the documentation, but it is really not necessary to beep about the monitor.
