im looking to build an itx but warned by a friend to be wary of small rom size chips for bios on itx mobos like the msi b450 ac and was wondering if there are other mobos like this that i should avoid and if so can somebody list them?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600, GPU: Asus ROG Strix GTX 1070, RAM: T force rgb 16gb 3200Mhz, Mobo: Asrock B450M Pro4, Storage: Adata 128Gb SSD and Seagate Barracuda 1Tb HDD 7.2kRPM, PSU: Corsair 750W 80+ bronze,Case: Corsair 280x, Headphones: Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless, Speakers: Bose Companion Speakers

the small rom chip doesn't actually matter right now because the update availability to next gen Ryzen appears to be the exact same for all B450 boards.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

so would you say is a b450 still worth it then?

Yes. Be advised that AMD specifically said that any B450 motherboard updated to accept next gen Ryzen will not be able to revert, and will only be compatible with third gen CPUs and onward.

is there any valid reason other than pcie 4 and wifi 6 to get b550?

More straightforward CPU support I suppose, and slightly better ram support. Though, with a third gen CPU, any decent B450 board will run 3600MHz memory no problem.
