Yeah its called a solid side panel case No but for real its extreme niche and also a biiiiiig issue with there being no standard at all. Pretty much a this one board and one case kinda deal work togheter
B650M Project Zero is a real board, the only one using AM5. I agree with @jaslion—it’s not a standard at all, which makes it a problem to avoid. Wait for an official announcement before considering it. Also, cables aren’t that bad-looking, but these boards are really frustrating for test setups.
I’ve seen many companies adopt this idea, and MSI has a complete lineup for the New AM6 Platform, which suggests it’s moving forward. As for CAMM2, I’m not sure if there’s any real performance boost—unless it’s just about the design. The P0 concept is cool, and the Phanteks Evolve X2 looks really impressive; I’m excited to try building it!
In theory, it provides superior high-frequency support because of its straightforward trace routing needs. Without any boards reaching the hands of memory overclockers to confirm these claims, we lack certainty about their validity. The best approach would be if ASRock releases the Z890 Taichi OCF CAMM2 alongside the standard OCF, enabling a fair comparison on a 1DPC board (CAMM2's lower max capacity doesn't matter). Many demonstrations at Computex have failed to deliver results. Remember SATA Express? I’d just accept it would eventually work when a major standards group—likely Intel, given their role in ATX—issues a solid specification that all manufacturers can adopt. This would eliminate the current situation where compatibility is limited to specific brands like ASUS or MSI.
