Most DDR5 variants are quite similar, focus on speed ranges instead of exact models. Look for a 6000 CL30/32 rated package that fits your budget and appearance. Four DIMMs aren't recommended. It generally struggles with DDR5 performance. I emphasize this point again—if you invest time in optimization, you shouldn’t be seeking this advice here. If the CPU debug light appears and both the CPU and motherboard have power connectors wired, that’s unusual. This might require soldering a replacement LED, though I can't confirm. My interpretation may be off due to translation issues, so please clarify if needed.
You can enable white color LEDs on your ASUS Prime AP201 by adjusting the brightness settings or using a custom RGB configuration through the BIOS/UEFI. Check the manual for specific steps related to LED colors and power controls.
Looking at these options, the ASUS ROG Strix B650E-I Gaming WiFi 6E and ASRock B650E PG-ITX WiFi seem to be compatible with your DDR5 RAM setup. The G.Skill 32GB DDR5 model works without issues in both cases.
For your 5.1 surround system, the ASRock B650E PG-ITX is a solid choice. It offers a compact design and good fit for smaller cases. If you prefer a more minimal build, consider a black or silver ATX case with glass windows—models like the Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX Micro ATX are available in those colors and sizes.
To fit everything in a 20-25 liter chassis, ensure your case supports M.2 NVMe SSDs and has enough internal space for your graphics cards and storage. The ASRock B650E PG-ITX should work well with your current hardware, especially if you upgrade to a smaller form factor.
For the best value under $100, look into budget-friendly options like the Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX Micro ATX or similar compact models in black or silver. These will help you stay within budget while meeting your requirements.
