Looking for ITX board for 5950x

[Ricotta Elmar]

hello guys,

 

i have a question,

i have a ryzen 9 5950x,

along with a rtx 3080 aorus xtreme

i want ot put this combo from my old large case in to a cooler master nr200p

 

but now the question,

witch board is the best for this cpu,

i scrolled trough some reviews exc...

B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX is a great board 8 phase 90 amps, but run quite hot , witch is not ideal in a small case but have lots of connectivity on a small board, even a usb-c front header

 

then there is

 

AMD B550 Mini-ITX AORUS, great board people rate this board the best of all itx for am4,
but lacks connectivity ports / usb / usb-c ports , it have a older bluetooth/wifi device where the bt seems to  run into some problems as i readed, but this board runs like 10c cooler than the asrock

so im kinda at lost what to do atm, both great board but both have their flaws, the rest of the itx all have like 60 am  with like 8+2+1 stages... but more stages doesnt mean it is beter at lower amps right ?

 

or do you guys know any other option i can do i don't know off

The NR200P supports mini DTX in addition to mini ITX, so this could be an option if you've got room in your budget:

Would advise double-checking your GPU can fit to begin with, the NR200P says up to a 60mm thick card, the 3080 Aorus Extreme is 70mm thick.

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.

Its not entirely accurate. A buddy of mine has a 55mm thick card in his NR200 and still fit some 15mm slim Noctuas underneath it with a few millimeters of room between them. 

 

It'll be real tight regardless and no fans will fit under a 70mm thick card.

People tested it that it fits

what i am looking for is a stable board that runs well with 5950x ,

with enough usb ports 3.x perfer usb c as they are more stable than usb a, i am facing this issue thay my usb-a 3.x dc randomly,

2.5g nic is nice to have for conmectivity with my nas,

 

i watched a youtube of optimus tech and gigabyte is the most balanced board, ofc he use a difrent cpu

Damn , and not even 2.5g nic

Will the 5950x perform stable with auto oc functions enabled with a 60 amp itx ?

Any of these boards will let the CPU operate as its expected. I'm not sure if maybe you think that isn't the case?

Yes that was i thinking becuase the huge difference in power delivery , is that wrong for me to think like that ?,

The 5950X will work just fine in any of those available B550 boards. There is also X570 though I don't really think X570 makes much sense in ITX unless you really need more than one PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot.

I gone b550 for that reason , and 2nvme is nice to have , although back one is pcie 3.0, 2.5g is nice to have to for my nas,

 

front  usb-c well the nr200p don’t have it buy i can make one , I’ve seen a mod for it,  

also i think phantom uses the more up to date hw for b550, like bt 5.1 , all usb 3.2 ports witch is nice to have , not that i need the bandwidth but just in case,

the back pannel looks so clean and organized ,

 

it is just the profile it have , it is hotter by 10c over other itx, and i don’t know if that is fixable,  

 

but why do this board have 90 amps mosfet if 50 is enough like asus strix have? Its like almost doubled power,

I don't think I can answer that, its just not important to me. Maybe ask in the thread from the creator of that spreadsheet I linked above?
