Same line of course comparison shows b550 TUF and b550M TUF may offer better build quality. If extra I/O or headers aren't required, opting for a full ATX board could be advantageous.

Occasionally the VRM performs better on the ATX model—like the B450M-A Pro having a significantly inferior VRM compared to the B450-A Pro. For the B550 TUF, the performance remains consistent.

The ATX model usually has a bigger heatsink for the chipset, but the chipset itself doesn’t overheat much on a MATX system, so it’s not a big concern.
