Ideally, because the system will have basically no real load, you should undervolt and underclock to reduce fan noise and reduce temps.

I'm still trying to learn how to overclock, now you want me to learn to underclock. I'm an old man give a chance to learn overclock first.

Basically the opposite of overclocking. 

 

Hinestly there is is no need for either in this instance. As you said yourself you’re gonna use it for Netflix only. 

 

Get yourself a cheap mobo and you’ll be totally happy with it at the end!

A cheap B450 board should do with your 2200g

I would look in to which board has the best vrm cooling, since that will matter in a small form factor environment, and go with that one. Even on a simple streaming setup, don't skimp on the most important part ?

Primary Rig:

CPU: AMD 7800X3D @ Stock PBO - Mobo: Gigabyte X670E AORUS Master

2 x 48GB G.Skill Trident Z Royal 6400MHz CL32 1.35V @ 6200MHz CL28-37-32-30 1.5V (still tuning)

CPU Cooler: EK AIO that will be being replaced when I get the chance - PSU: eVGA P2 1200W

GPU: Gigabyte RTX 4090 Gaming OC @ either 2595MHz @ 900mV or 2970MHz @ 1070mV

Case: Thermaltake View 91 - SSDs/HDDs: 1 Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, 2 990 Pro 2TB M.2s, 1 990 Pro 4TB M.2, 1 TeamGroup Cardea Z440 2TB M.2, 1 Seagate EXO X10 10TB HDD

Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G9 49" Super-Ultrawide 240Hz Monitor

The YouTube channel called gamer nexus says the best vrm on itx belong to msi, I'll probably get that one.
