I got Ryzen 3500X and RX 5500 XT 4Gb from PowerColor in ITX format. Will try overclock it and power from 200W.
3500X already working fine with 4.1Ghz @1.35v and 3733Mhz, CL16, GDM Off, memory (IF can't work at 1900). Tested on my X570 Gigabyte.

My good sample of 3400G will be sold.

What PSU are you using to do ACDC?

 

[dKenGuru]

I use Delippo power supply 200W, Dell analog. Works fine.
