Question 1

Best size case for mktherboard

Accepted Answer

Right now I'm looking at a computer that I built with this motherboard.  I definitely recommend using an mATX size case.  It won't fit in anything smaller, and anything bigger would just leave unfilled space/ unnecessary bulk.

That said, if you are new to PC building or of you have big, clumsy hands and don't mind a little unused space, then an ATX size would be fine.  It's not uncommon for pre built PC companies to put an mATX motherboard like this one into an ATX size case, and they usually look just fine.  Good luck!

Question 2

Best size case for mktherboard

Accepted Answer

I think the best size would be a micro ATX case, I'm personally using a Corsair 2500X for more space and it looks good, even though this case is large since it's designed for mATX and miniATX motherboards while at the same time being a big looking case but you can look for a slightly smaller (and perhaps lighter) case; it's all up to you.

Question 3

Best size case for mktherboard

Accepted Answer

I used the darkFlash Micro-ATX PC Case but pretty much any Mid Tower Micro ATX should do the job depending on what you like as far as style. I've also used the FOIFKIN K6 PC Case and Okinos Aqua 3 with Micro ATX motherboard builds.

Question 4

Can this motherboard support high-speed memory modules?

Accepted Answer

What makes memory "high speed"? For example, DDR4-2666 isn’t some slouch — that’s 2,666 million transfers per second. Yes, literally billions of data transfers flying back and forth every second. Even the “basic” JEDEC 3200 MT/s spec translates to 3.2 billion transfers per second. Not exactly slow-poke territory.
This board is capable of modules that go into 4400 MT/s as long as the modules are listed on the QVL.

Question 5

Can I connect multiple storage devices to this motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this motherboard supports multiple storage devices. It has 6 SATA 6Gb/s ports and 2 M.2 connectors for storage. One pcie 4 m.2 and one pcie 3 m.2.

Question 6

Will this mother board support a 1060gtx

Accepted Answer

Yes!  Have fun!

Question 7

Will the Ryzen 5600 cpu fit in this mother board

Accepted Answer

Yes, a Ryzen 5 5600X or non-X (like your 5 5600) will fit perfectly there since that CPU is AM4. Any other Ryzen 5 will fit on this motherboard. I personally installed a Ryzen 5 3600 and plan to upgrade to a Ryzen 5 5700x or 5 5800x and if it's possible one of these x3d versions for better experience in video games.

Question 8

Can a rtx 5060 8gb fit

Accepted Answer

Yes, the RTX 5060 8GB will fit on this motherboard since your GPU uses a PCIe 5.0 slot, which this motherboard has. Remember to remove the locking tab (just lift it) on the motherboard before installing the graphics card and make sure you hear a "click", then make sure the GPU is properly seated and connect the 8-pin cable that should come from your power supply (650W is recommended, but if you can, buy one of 700w or even 800w for more safety and a possible future upgrade).

Question 9

What ddr4 16gb ram works with this

Accepted Answer

Any 16GB DDR4 RAM that runs at 3200MHz will work with this motherboard, and if possible, look for one with a latency of CL16.

Question 10

does this motherboard support multiple GPUs?

Accepted Answer

There are multiple PCI 16x slots. If you have gpus that can fit within the slot distance then you could fit them. They may not run at full PCIe bandwidth on the third slot. You can change that in the bios or see what it is set to.
