Uh, I know, I actually would like a Micro ATX board for this Micro ATX case, or a Mini ITX case (like an S300) for this Mini ITX mobo... but, hey, I don't need anything more in this computer than what these parts provide.

The 9900X is for... productivity; I intend to livestream 4k games while running other stuff, so I can park a core on the OS, eight on the game or LLM stuff, and the other three cores are free to help the others with OS or game, or be assigned to other things like converting a video while I'm doing other things.

This is to be an all-around do-everything machine with a small footprint.

Thank you for your thoughts.

I say that often!

Why would ITX lead to more fan noise? I'm using the PCIE 4 M.2 slot, which doesn't need the loud fan on the PCIE 5 M.2 slot. And, yes, coil whine is terrible... but I can *hear* the caps whine! (Thusly Jap Caps courtesy of Rubicon Japan tyvm).

I would, but I also want it to be small form factor, and it must be air cooled (not liquid cooled).

Otherwise, does this look like a decent build? Why so much hate for this CPU & MOBO in particular?
