I'm sad that all of the new B550 mITX boards (this included) have so few external USB ports.

I'd like to use an Alpenföhn Black Ridge inside a DAN case A4-SFX on an ASUS ROG Strix Z390-I Gaming, but it has the limitation that I have to put the fan below the coolor, rather than above as usual. If that fan shall be 120mm, I can only use VLP DIMMs. Where do I get these DIMMs from? When...
