best tested 2700x microATX motherboard with lots of USBs

[eurgbp]

which one did you personally test and would recommend?

I would pick between these ones slightly better power section and they all seem to have more USB than a similar ASUS board I haven't tested any personally but out of those three, I would lean toward the Giga. Without more research, it appears to have a better delivery system

Not sure about number of usb available, but have fully tested a 2700x on Asus Prime B450M-A with 3 types of cooling.

The board is capable of holding a boosted clock of 4ghz and is mostly reliant on cooling more so than anything else. Has 6 usb ports on the rear, couple of plugs for front panel and a pcie 1x slot for a usb card.

Ive had the board for a few months now and have tested 4 processors with it. Its a pretty solid board for being lower end.

What does this mean?: "Supports 105 watts water cooling (Pinnacle Ridge) . . ." Does it mean you can only run a 2700x if you have water cooling? So a big air cooler won't do? Doe it mean it will handle a water cooling pump that draws up to 105 watts? Seems like it is poorly worded.

do i need to add fans to vrms and mosfets?

Depends on the board and the cooling.
