Cheap Option. Should run 5600x at stock settings, even with some overclocking. Lacks BT/WiFI:
LINK
Medium Option. Should handle any 5600x overclocking without any issue, has 2.5 GB LAN port, and 1 G LAN port. A ton of USB ports. No included WiFi/BT.
LINK
Pricier Option. All the bells and whistles, and frankly overkill for a 5600x - WiFi 6/BT, RGB everywhere, 2.5 GB LAN, good built-in audio, etc..
LINK
Frankly I would not pay over $200 for a B550 board if you are running a 5600x.
I paid $189 for my B550 ITX board for my 5600x build, but frankly all ITX boards have a price premium added.
For your purposes, go with the cheap one or the medium. The B550-F WiFi board is frankly overkill.

Hell, they should get that used prime option for $115 on the medium board
Posted on 8/6/21 at 8:26 am to bluebarracuda
Yeah, thats a better value tbh
Posted on 8/6/21 at 8:39 am to boXerrumble
So I can get the B550 asus rog for $165. The same price as your medium option if that makes any difference

Also another question. The 5600x comes with a cpu fan and my case came with 2 fans. I have the Corsair 4000D. Any need to get anymore fans?
Posted on 8/6/21 at 9:12 am to Civildawg
Maybe a 3rd for an extra intake/exhaust, but you should be fine with just two. Most people overexaggerate on cooling needs

4000D airflow or non? With a gpu with a tdp of 230w, I could live with just one intake fan on the airflow version, but I wouldn't be super happy about it. On the regular version, I would absolutely want at least two intake fans.

It also becomes a function of noise. Running more fans at a lower rpm is generally more quiet than fewer fans at a higher rpm. If someone's case is far away, or they always wear headphones, it doesn't matter much. But for those of us who keep their case on their desk less than three feet from our heads? I would like to keep the noise down

Link to the board you're talking about. Mobo nomenclature can get kind of fricky, so it's best to make sure everyone knows they are on the same page

It’s basically the same B550-F Strix board but without WiFi6/BT.
That’s a little overkill too but meh

Non airflow. I’ll look for a couple of fans on sale

here's the board on sale at new egg today. It's the nonwifi version which is fine with me
So, here's where the devil is in the details:
Your case has a front panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port, but that motherboard only has USB 3.1 Gen 1. If you don't care, it's obviously not an issue. But if you do, that might be a deal breaker.

Have a friend who builds a lot of systems on the side offer me a cash + trade for a 3080.
I have a 5700 XT, and he's willing to trade the 3080 for that and $340 cash, seems like a no brainer really for me to get up to a 4k capable card like a 3080 and I will replacing my 1080p projector with a 4k one down the road (what my gaming computer is hooked up to).
I just have a basic reference design XFX 5700XT, the 3080 was shucked out an Alienware pre-built, never used. So it looks like this one. Certainly not a fancy 3080 but i could care less for the trade + cash im getting. Looking at people who have the alienware pre-built this came in, it runs around 70c while gaming which is plenty cool and should run a bit cooler than that in my Corsair 680x which has 3x120 intake, 1x120 exhaust and a 2x120 exhaust AIO, so airflow is definitely very good.

I've been building and upgrading PCs since 1986. I have never encountered a problem like I have with my new build.
Gigabyte Auros X570 mini-ITX MB
Ryzen 5600X CPU
G Skills Ripjaws 2 X 8 compatible RAM (it's on their list)
Zotac 3070
The PC powers up but I get nothing on the display. I've swapped the new 3070 into my 9900K build and it displays just fine. In fact, the image on my monitor is stunning with it installed.
I've done the Q-Flash to update BIOS and still no image on the monitor. It is connected via displayport.
All fans spin up but no post no display.

That’s a lot of troubleshooting possibility.
Is your gpu docked directly in or using a riser cable? When you tested it with the other system, did you use the same DP cable, or a different one?

He should try using 1 stick of ram too. Riser might not be 4.0 capable (most aren't).
Posted on 8/13/21 at 10:35 pm to VABuckeye
My 6700xt is doing the same thing but I can’t get a display on any computer. It was on a riser mining. The system crashed and never came back on so I got to plugging and unplugging components while troubleshooting and long story short, I might’ve plugged in a riser backwards onto to the motherboard while troubleshooting. It’s weird though because I never got a reaction from doing so. Burning smell, smoke, capacitor pops, etc.
Contacted AMD and they suggested resetting the CMOS on the mobo. Didn’t work and I’m not exactly sure why it would’ve. Hopefully I can get it replaced because I’ve only had it for 3 weeks.
Lights and fans come on but nothing else.

GPU is directly mounted to the motherboard. I used the same cable to connect it to both PCs.
Posted on 8/14/21 at 8:06 am to boXerrumble
I'e tried one stick of RAM, swapped sticks and tried one stick in both A RAM locations.
