I don't see the case and cooler setup. Are you thinking about running a stock cooler?
That's still uncertain, but I'm aiming for the smallest possible setup. My understanding is that with a larger case, the stock cooler could work, but if you go really small, an AIO would be necessary. I'll push the case fans to their limits and consider water cooling if required. Updated November 24, 2020 by MacGuy Clarification
For a tiny setup, you can use terms like Slagger when the NZXT H1 includes a PSU and AIO.
1. mini-itx offers slightly fewer options compared to an ATX board due to limited expansion slots and ports, though it remains more compact.
2. The motherboard may include a BIOS flashback button for updating BIOS without using the CPU; the ASUS X570-I features this and performs exceptionally well among mini X570 models.
3. A Ryzen 5000 processor can see about a 10% speed increase with four sticks of 8GB RAM, such as four 3600MHz CL16 modules, though opting for 400MHz CL18 might improve stability.
Only two slots are available for ITX boards. If you're planning to go, consider adjusting the RAM size.
I have been researching this board and I like it better than the board I originally was looking at, thank you! I had a question about ram, as I am trying to use 3200 CL14 ram. This board does not natively support 3200, only with an overclock, is there a disadvantage to this? There is a very similar board (X570 I Aorus Pro Wifi) that supports it without an overclock. Am I better off with the board that supports the speed I want natively, I want the system to be as stabile as possible.
