Hello everyone, I have a query. I own a Ryzen 9 5950X and an RTX 3080 AORUS XTREME. I want to upgrade from my old case to a cooler master N200P. Now I’m trying to figure out which board works best for this setup. I’ve read some reviews and found that the B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX is solid with 8-phase 90A, but it gets quite hot. It’s not perfect for a small case, though—it offers plenty of connectivity options on a compact board, including a USB-C front header. The AMD B550 Mini-ITX AORUS is highly rated for AM4 builds, but it lacks many ports and USB/USB-C connections. I noticed some Bluetooth/Wi-Fi issues with older models. Compared to the N200P, both boards have similar power stages (around 60A), but more stages don’t always mean better performance at lower voltages. What do you think? Are there other options I should consider?

The NR200P allows mini DTX along with mini ITX, making it a viable choice if you have budget flexibility: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/skLwrH/...iii-impact

Recommend confirming your GPU compatibility first. The NR200P supports cards up to 60mm thickness, while the 3080 Aorus Extreme accommodates thicker ones at 70mm.

I'm not sure based on what you've wrote what you're looking for exactly but I have a Asus B550-I STRIX and its great. There are only 5 B550 options in ITX as Asrock makes two of them. Full breakdown of every X570 and B550 board available: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...2112472504

It's not completely correct. A friend's NR200 has a 55mm card, but he can still place some 15mm slim Noctuas underneath it with just a bit of space. It'll be very close together, and no fans will fit under a 70mm card.

you need a reliable board that works smoothly with 5950x, featuring plenty of USB 3.0 ports—preferably USB-C as they offer better stability compared to USB-A. I'm dealing with this problem where my USB-A 3.x devices keep connecting randomly. The 2.5Gb NIC is great for compatibility with my NAS, and I saw a video from Optimus Tech suggesting Gigabyte is a well-rounded option. They also mention using a different CPU for better performance.

The 5950x will run smoothly when auto oc is active with a 60-amp ITX setup.
