New Build ryzen 3600.

Hello

First post here

I´m live in Brazil and hardware usually is very expensive here. But i managed to buy a "kit" with Ryzen 3600 + Asus Prime B450M Gamming/BR (this board is manufactured in Brasil and because this is more cheap) + 2x 8 GB Teamgroup DDR4 2666 for a good price. This system works fine with PBO on, max clocks around 4100-4150 with stock cooler (i bought a 120mm tower to test, but not arrived yet).

But, i know this a "weak" board (dont have heatsink at VRMs, but i applied small heatsinks i already have), in the memory, only managed to got 2933 stable @ 1.35V 16-17-17-38. With 3000 fail HCI memtest in seconds, ever with 1.4v (i suspect is very high from non bdie chips).

I need to build another machine for and office and already have a Ryzen 2200G (used before, but the motherboard died) and i planning to buy in next 2-3 weeks in Portugal (a familiar traveling here) a new motherboard, memory and a 1TB SSD MVME to use with this R5 3600, but have trouble to choose, in the market have lot of options and my budget is around 400-450 euros for the 3 components.

The current Asus motherboard and memory go to the 2200G.

Motherboard:

- MicroATX or Mini ITX only!: B450 vs X570... I know X570 have pcie 4.0, more lanes, etc, but is useless for me now and very expensive... And have the chipset fan dilemma...

The MSI B450M Mortar max is very interessing and cheap.

But i planing to go to mini ITX case and Gigabyte and MSI have nice options for B450 under 130 euro. A X570 ITX starts at 200 euro, but really recomended?

Memory:

- 2x 8 GB 3200 CL14 with Bdie or 3600 non-bdie? memory with bdie is much more expensive with non bdies... I want to achieve the zen2 memory "sweet spot" (3600-3733), but timmings matters? i can use the diferente to buy a "better" motherboard or go to 2x 16 GB.

M2 MVME:

The Kingston A2000 is very interessing. Use TLC, good speeds and very good price! QLC is a nogo for me!

Cooling:

I have a Corsair h100i and the refered Tower cooler. But Ryzen 3000 have very limited OC headroom, i think using AIO is almost useless and the AIO is almost 4 years old and have fear for a pump failure...

Rest of hardware

- Shappire pulse Vega 56

- Corsair RMX 650w

- Case Corsair 350D

- Crucial MX500 SSD 1 TB SATA + seagate 7200 RPM (The MVME drive replacing this)

-4 noctuas fans (2x 120mm and 2x 140mm)
