Tiny new YTX motherboard format trims the fat, adds M.2 slots

Tiny new YTX motherboard format trims the fat, adds M.2 slots

The article discusses a new motherboard format called "YTX" introduced by the Chinese brand Maxsun. The YTX format is positioned as a more powerful alternative to the smaller mini-ITX, measuring 245mm x 175mm, almost as long as a mini-ITX board but 75mm wider. The key features of the YTX format include: - Three full-length M.2 2280 slots, providing more storage options - Power, SATA, and other connections positioned on the back of the motherboard for a cleaner setup - PCIE 5.0 slot, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 support - Four M.2 slots in total, though limited to PCIE 4.0 speeds The article suggests the YTX format may be useful for small, powerful builds, as it addresses the challenge of fitting a graphics card in a mini-ITX case. However, the lack of case support for this new format may be a hurdle, as it won't fit in a standard mini-ITX tray, though it could work in a micro-ATX case.
