Hey everyone, generally the X570 models tend to offer better VRM heatsinks, thermal pads, and active chipset heatsinks compared to their ATX counterparts. For example, the X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI (ITX) usually has a more robust setup than the X570 AORUS PRO WIFI (ATX). Similarly, the ROG Strix X570-E gaming (ATX) often outperforms the ROG Strix X570-I gaming (ITX) in these areas.

ITX advantages are modest; ATX offers comprehensive support.

Which option offers the most effective VRM heatsink, thermal pad, active chipset heatsink, heatpipe, or finned heatsinks?

A solid ITX board needs effective cooling, while a robust ATX model also requires strong cooling. A bigger design usually handles heat better by spreading it out more.
