Maxsun has unveiled its latest YTX Form-Factor creation made with the help of DIY-APE, a popular DIY brand known for making some unique motherboard designs. The latest motherboard is their Terminator H770 which also comes with backside power connectors.
Maxsun's Latest DIY-APE Collaboration Is The Terminator H770, A YTX Form Factor Motherboard With Backside Power Connectors
There aren't a whole lot of YTX motherboards out there and DIY-APE is one of the few companies who design such boards. The concept behind this form factor is that most small form factor cases only have room to support Mini-ITX cases which means that they don't have enough vertical space for a mATX case. But these cases do have horizontal space and that's what YTX takes advantage of.
Coming to the specifications, the Maxsun Terminator H770 YTX motherboards come with the LGA 1700 socket which can support up to 14th Gen CPUs and an 8+1 phase design. The motherboard is based on the Intel H770 chipset and offers two DDR5 DIMM slots for up to 96 GB capacity support. The PCH is featured under a heatsink and the VRMs are also cooled off by a large heatsink.
Expansion slots include a single PCIe Gen 4.0 x16 slot, three M.2 (2x Gen4, 2x Gen3) slots, & two SATA III ports. There's also an additional M.2 slot on the back of the PCB. You also get an angled front-panel USB header on the front along with two fan headers. A large heatsink will also cover the front of the motherboard though it is not shown in the pictures.
On the backside of the Maxsun Terminatory H770 YTX motherboard, you get two additional SATA ports, the USB front-panel headers, a 24-pin ATX connector, three RGB (2x ARGB, 1x RGB) headers, and an 8+4 Pin power connector interface for the CPU. I/O on the motherboard includes 6 USB 2.0, two USB 3.2 Gen and a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C port, HDMI/DP, Clear CMOS switch, a 2.5 GbE Ethernet LAN port, WIFI 6E and a 3-channel HD audio jack.
There's no word on the pricing but the board should cost around $200-$250 US and hit retail next month.
