It's ATX, micro ATX.
Whoops that is my bad, I thought it was the ITX version. In that case, ignore everything I said above!
This is Micro ATX not ITX. Looks to be a few dollars cheaper than normal price.
Not $200. Bought one a few weeks ago for $119
for most people this board is perfectly fine,
Worth noting this is a shorter version of matx. Potentially could fit in some itx cases ( I believe itll fit in the nr200p with a little modding)
Yes shorter, but it’s got the extra PCIe slot which most likely won’t fit unless the case has room for unintended additional slots
Be warned that the GPU sits right over the nvme and right above the pcie1x - which is important if you want wifi/bt.
I have just built a friends system with an RX 570 and 3300x and this motherboard which operates fine but does warm up after a while. I haven’t noticed any issues with the nvme due to heat but I haven’t had the chance to really hammer the system yet.
Due to the poor design, it matters not which case you put it in as airflow won’t completely overcome the problem. The only answer is a pcie riser to move the graphics card away - in which case you might as well buy a better motherboard. My friend got his for $105 and is now forking out over $100 to fit a 600mm riser plus grate.
Of course, if you don’t want to overtax a system it will probably work fine but put in a sata drive not nvme.

This configuration can still fit a 2 slot GPU with a wifi card, its just anything thicker than 2 slots (including 2.5) won't fit.
Yes but the graphic card’s 1st fan blows directly into the pcie card and just creates more heat as there is no airflow.
All GPUs I've ever seen have fans that pull air up from below into their heatsink and PCB, rather than the other way around.
From my own experience of using a motherboard with the same layout the wifi card had very little impact on airflow.However, of course this is gonna vary from case to case and you are definitely right in flagging this as a potential issue!
@jp1011: Sorry, yes of course you are correct it is attempting to draw air but the Wifi card is almost completely blocking the fan causing increased temperature of the card which is heating up the nvme. I am not sure of the tolerences of the nvme but I have heard they certainly don't enjoy getting hot.
I am waiting for my wife to bring the Dremel home from our business otherwise I would put up before and after pics showing how close everything is. I plan on hanging the RX570 from the roof of the case with a 600mm riser increasing the airflow available to it. As the USB ports are on the top, and modern graphics cards come with stoppers for the unused ports, having the hdmi/DisplayPort ports on the top of the computer will make it easier to change the plugs or move the pc as you don't have to get to the back and fumble around.
Wow this is really cheap. Usually goes for about $200. Reviews are relatively poor but for this price there aren't any other options for an itx b550 board.
