One could argue that being a small form factor product produces a price premium for having to engineer the hardware on a smaller PCB, and that there is potential for it to lack many of the features of full-sized ATX motherboards. The Impact is more expensive than other mini-ITX boards, and at $225 it competes in a serious price bracket with both micro-ATX and full sized ATX brethren. Today we review the Impact, designed to hold true the ROG philosophy in a 17 cm x 17 cm PCB. With Haswell and the Z87 Chipset there are two new members to the family: the budget Hero and the miniature Impact. In previous generations, the ASUS Republic Of Gamers (ROG) range has been split across three models – the micro-ATX Gene, the gaming oriented Formula and the more overclocker friendly Extreme.
