I can confirm that the Noctua NH-L9a with the NM-AM4-L9aL9i mounting kit works.

Yeah I think their mounting points are identical but their stock mounting brackets were different due to the differences between AMD and Intel mounting points.

I'm gathering parts for a small build based around this board and 1700x. I don't think it's a SFF built per say but still a small one.
Case is Core 500 and wanted to ask if maybe someone knows if NH-C14s will work with this mobo and case?

And additional question, can this mobo take 5 fans? 2 of them will be connected via splitters ( 3 headers).
I don't know how much can the headers take ( Amps). The fans are NF A14 PWM

According to the manual, CPU header is 1.0A, Chassis optional/Water pump header is 1.5A, and it doesn't say for the normal Chassis header so I assume 1.0A also.

NF-A14 PWM draws 0.13A according to Noctua.

Looking good!

How are your temps? Can you do me a solid and see what HWinfo or other software reports?
Still don't have a case yet so testing in open air.
Using Prime95 small FFT and fan set to max 2500rpm.
Stock voltage and no oc it will throttle at 75C to about 3.4-3.5GHz.
Force frequency to 3.6GHz stock voltage it will shut down at 95C in 1-2mins.
Force frequency 3.6GHz and undervolt to lowest 30min Prime95 small FFT stable 1.1625V temp is 76C.

HWinfo64:

CPUID HWMonitor:

Thanks for the info. I'll toss CPUID on tonight and compare. I don't see what HWinfo shows on yourMotherboard temp on your screen shot however . I believe it to be inaccurate as my bios shows 44-49 and HWinfo calls 'motherboard' 112-119. Perhaps they will dial that reporting in on future HWinfo updates. These boards are new.

When I use F stream the AB350 Gaming ITX temps look alot better ...35C on MB instead of reported 120 through HWNFO or the t20 is F ??

It also shows correct temp for 1600X
