ITX MB for 9900k
ITX MB for 9900k
Hello, I purchased a 9900K for a great price. I'm planning to reduce my PC size since my new desk will be much smaller. I've already searched online but haven't found any really good ITX motherboards compared to the latest Ryzen options. Also, I need some ITX cases under $300 that won't damage the internal parts (like the 9900K+5700XT).
Coolermaster nr200 has a good appearance. Jonsbo A4 works well if you're okay with a smaller air cooler or a thinner 240 aio.
Checked out some feedback on the CM NR200, seems promising. However, I need the final decision by the end of August or the first week of September. I’m skeptical about ordering from AliExpress since it usually takes over two months (about a month in customs) and comes with a hefty 50% tax. (EU rules you’re familiar with)
The Asus or MSI choices are both solid options. Strong VRM performance. Here are the links:

Jonsbo is accessible in the EU via nearby stores. The Ryzen 3000 lineup offers smart options for compact setups due to its efficiency. The meme has turned around when an overclocked six-core Intel consumes more power than an AMD 64-core setup with stock. Edited August 13, 2020 by Jeppes
Considering your budget, the Asus Strix at $220 seems like a solid pick. The MSI Gaming Edge offers good value at $150, and the Aorus 3700x/550 combo could be worth it if you're willing to invest a bit more. The Jonsbo A4 is quite pricey at $300, and the NZXT H1 is on the higher side at $350. The CM NR200 might be available later, but it’s not ideal for a 9900k.
It looks like the most affordable option still offers solid VRMs, so I’d suggest going with it!
