Count the inductors (the rectangular bits). That's the *maximum* number of VRM phases you're getting. Since there's video outs on the mobo you're getting 5 phases max for the CPU, because iGPUs have their own power delivery (1 or 2 phases). Those antenna connectors are most likely brass, not copper. Copper is darker. These mobos aren't recycled. Recycled mobos are sold as such, these are new ones (that may or may not have salvaged parts). Also, Aliexpress is a great place to find non-mainstream stuff, cheaper than you could in the west. There's no way I could find a new Socket 1151 ITX mobo for a bit over 50€ locally. :D

Ah yes. I could have sworn it was the number of inductors but I didn’t know about the igpus part. Good catch! I wouldn’t reccomend it for a first time builder but if you’re a tinkerer and willing to play with stuff, AliExpress has some awesome deals and some really cool stuff. Can’t wait to play around with this thing once I can afford a cpu for it

i have the b550i paired with a ryzen 5700x and is very nice, the only downside for me is the m2 at the back, heats a lot and is the gen4 m2 and is a little bit hard to cool on my 3.8L pc case

What makes the drive run so hot? I’ve never heard of that being a problem before.

I think he means more about brands that retail in North America since this board would never be sold in America retail wise.

nakard toes and knees probably not the best idea, those are teflon washers not standoffs, having an m.2 on the back is often implimented on itx boards thats not unusual.

U are talking about the board like china just started to make electronics? what are u yapping about, most mobos and electronics are made in china. Its not a recycled mobo its their own brand. ITX mobos usually has m.2 front and back so thats nothing new.
