Any recommended Micro ATX Mobos for Ryzen 2700x?

[Cyberspirit]

I'm thinking about upgrading to a 2700x in a few months and I'm currently looking for a nice Mobo but I can't for the life of me find any higher end ones.

At the moment this one is my best bet:

ASUS TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING

But as far as I know, these Mobos aren't really made for OC or, am I wrong?

 

I've seen great ATX boards but, I'd also like to go MATX with this upgrade as well.

I couldn't find any higher end ones when it comes to this form factor.

The B450 is overclockable, you just want to find one that has good cooling for the vrms. The one you chose is good too. But there are others like this one: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450M-MORTAR

@Cyberspirit  Doesn't Asus have a Strix board that's smaller?  Might wanna check out their website.

So far the B450M Mortar is my best bet then.

I can't seem to find any higher end boards which is odd. Could they be out of stock or were there none, to begin with on mATX?

There is this one:

 

https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-B450-I-GAMING/

 

https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/TUF-B450M-PLUS-GAMING/

 

Here is the one I was thinking about:

The Gigabyte B450 Aorus M could potentially be another option.

 

The AsRock B450M PRO4 supposedly uses a "6+3" (6+2+1) VRM design, but considering it is a budget board, it is most likely doubled.

Realistically a 3+2+1 or similar configuration.

That said, in Vortez's review of the motherboard, they were able to push their 2700X up to 4.2 GHz with 1.4V Core Voltage.

The STriX B450 is m-ITX, rather then m-ATX, though.

 

EDIT: 

The STriX B450 appears to be a true 6+1 phase design.

6 phases for the CPU, 1 phase for the SOC.

I think I'll wait for Buildzoid's full review of the Mortar and we'll see from there.

 

I'm not a huge fan of the ROG Strix B450-I Gaming and the ROG STRIX X470-I because they are much, much more expensive and I need more than one PCI-E slot.
