    Motherboard GA-A520I-DASH - Is this a crossover Thin Mini-ITX? Does anyone know where I can buy one?

    That is interesting as I still can't find this Motherboard anywhere. It is also interesting because the Support site says it does not (does not specify) support for the CPU/GPUs they are selling. This would be an expensive way to get one at around $500 AUD above the cost of the CPU+NVME SSD alone.

    You are better off using an internal DC->DC supply like this approach especially if you are using a Mini-ITX case: https://hdplex.com/hdplex-400w-hi-fi-dc-atx-power-supply-16v-24v-wide-range-voltage-input.html Assuming you could find a place to buy this motherboard you would still have to have...

    Motherboard GA-A520I-DASH - Is this a crossover Thin Mini-ITX? Does anyone know where I can buy one?

    If your using a Mini-ITX case and not specifically a Thin Mini-ITX case you would be better off trying to use a miniature internal DC-DC power supply like this: https://hdplex.com/hdplex-400w-hi-fi-dc-atx-power-supply-16v-24v-wide-range-voltage-input.html Then you can use a laptop brick to power...

    I know from experience getting LVDS to work is a tricky beast. But I have succeeded a few times EVENTUALLY! You need to have the all the components configured correctly I.e. correct connectors, cables, screen/converter board and LVDS BIOS configurations. You have my commiserations

    Assuming you could get this board and easily hack the BIOS this might currently be the best option: AMD Ryzen™ 9 PRO 3900 (65W TDP) (12C/24T) (OEM only) Then later once the BIOS support or is hacked then this: AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900 (65W TDP) (12C/24T) (OEM only)...

    @infoberg Note: AMD A520 chipset (and therefore this motherboard) is apparently not compatible with AMD Ryzen 5 3400G, Ryzen 5 3400GE, AMD Ryzen 3 3200G, Ryzen 5 3400GE (and their PRO equivalent versions) and all the previous Ryzen 1000/2000 Series processors.

    Motherboard GA-A520I-DASH - Is this a crossover Thin Mini-ITX? Does anyone know where I can buy one?

    Thanks for the heads-up on the problem I have now fixed about 8 of them.. No idea how that happened! Even tho the 2nd Network connector rises above the 25mm opening it will fit within a typical Thin Mini-ITX case lid. I have done this before with some other motherboards. The reason this is not...

    Motherboard New X570 ITX board: AsRockRack X570D4I-2T

    I don’t think Ryzen has a DMI link per se (that’s an Intel standard as far as I am aware). There is a similar southbridge bottleneck if that’s what you mean but the x16 slot on this motherboard is not connected through that and is connected directly to the CPU lanes. Maybe I don’t fully...

    Although way late (sorry) - I would recommend its use for a Workstation which is what I am doing.

    Is this possibly a crossover Thin Mini-ITX ie a Mini-ITX with the possibility to mount it in a Thin Mini-ITX case? Does anyone know where I can buy one? GA-A520I-DASH (Crossover - Not strictly a Thin Mini-ITX motherboard) https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-A520I-DASH-rev-10#kf Unique...

    Motherboard New X570 ITX board: AsRockRack X570D4I-2T

    RETRACTION: I really should not have said that the ASRockRack X570D4I-2T motherboard has a suite of overclocking tools. What it does however have is many confusing (including overclocking) BIOS options but literally, no normal gamer style overclocking aids/tools. The motherboard is a pain in the...

    @ermac318 I had not spotted that motherboard yet. If I had I too may have chosen that one. https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=X570D4U-2L2T#Specifications Even that board too if it supports overclocking will depend on case cooling and/or heatsink mods to "handle"...
