Gigabyte released a nice Thin ITX board that has support for PCIe x16 with 65W support.
Unfortunately not for AMD...
Problem is ... I can't find them anywhere lol.
Asrock has the IMB-1222 (Q470E), IMB-1223 (H420E) and IMB-X1222-WV (W480E, Xeon CPU) if you want thin mini-ITX, m.2, up to 80W LGA1200 CPU and PCIe-16x. Non Xeon boards are available as 12V or wide voltage (-WV suffix), while Xeon one is wide input only.

Group buy?
What's that port to the right of the two blue headers in the center of the board just to the left of the CPU socket?
I previously found a UK industrial company for the 9th gen boards. They would sell in bulk, but it was something like 20 boards. I'm not sure I could find enough nerds....
I attempted a GTX 1060 build with the older GA-IMB310TN, which also claims 65w CPU support but PCIe x4 slot. I canned the idea when I tested out the board and found it power limited any CPU to 25w max, with no way around it. Hopefully the IMB410TN isn't so power limited, but buyer beware I'd bet money it has a motherboard enforced power limit that is <65w.has anyone done a "Gaming" build with his
GA-IMB410TN motherboard? link? i want to...slap a zotac 3060 to it and a
