Hey folks, have a couple of questions actually regarding the motherboard for my new (and first) mini-itx build. I am going to install either the Gigabyte Aorus X570 Pro Wifi or the Asus X570 Rog Strix I-Gaming. I have both boards here new in box. I ordered them at different times and wasn't sure what would come in. Technically I have three MBs because I ordered the Asus from two different vendors because it was out of stock for so long. So which one do I go with. I have read multiple threads already but none really come to a conclusion.
Secondly, I was very surprised that the Asus did not come with a pre-installed I/O shield like the Gigabyte did. I thought they were supposed to be preinstalled - no? It's the same on both Asus boards, and both are brand new in box from different vendors so I am guessing not lol. Just wanted to be sure since the Asus site indicated the I/O shield was indeed preinstalled. Thanks in advance for any help.
