I watched the optimum tech b550 round-up and he said if you plan to set your own clocks/voltages it probably wouldn't be an issue. That may have been before the bios update though...If they are hiding the readings does that mean that even if you customize your settings it may still run hotter? My upcoming ryzen 4000 (or 5000 apparently?) build will be my first time messing around with this stuff.I was orignally leaning towards this board because it's fair bit cheaper than the asus boards in Canada. I've ruled out the gigabyte/msi models because of the higher socket position. If this board's sketchy power draw rules it out that leaves me with just the asus boards which are really quite expensive. The asus b550 is only like 20-30 less than the x570 and seriously lacks in usb A support (mouse, keyboard, headset, webcam leaves no free slots).Other possibly not valid concerns I have with the asus boards that maybe someone could clear up are regarding the raised sound card/m.2 section. I'll be using an ak120 mini cooler which uses 120mm fans that are pretty close to the board (likely wouldn't clear the top of the m.2 section). Is the m.2/sound card bit at least 60cm from the centre of the socket? Also some of the new GPUs have really thick back plates, which is pretty cool, but the proximity of the m.2/sound card to the pci-e slot maybe would be incompatible with thicker backplates?Thanks for any help.
