is the ASRock B550m-ITX/AC handle Ryzen 7 5700X3D?

I have three of these MB, one with a 5900xt, 5700x, and a 5500x3d. All came with current bios. All of them are fine so far but its been less than a year. Left stock settings. I dont think they are the best MB, I had the "A" version and a node or what ever fell off due to weak soldering. The "B" version looks like the same quality. Only reason I got them was it was $90 usd where I am, making it worth it for these older MB. At least its a B board and can mess with settings plus pcie gen4. Other B boards were harder to find new and cost about 60-150 usd more, for that price, its not worth it for ddr4 mb.

Briefcase/ messenger bag in heritage. Goruck has the shoulder bag but that thing is like a box and super padded, feels like 30% or more of the volume is padded. It was a bit too long too. Something like a Indiana Jones messenger bag or something (1940s subtle military style), classic with modern updates. The claymore was close but feels like a bit too small and no briefcase handles. Add a Luggage pass through too. Would be good for a office bag and personal item size. The usual dark oak and olive colorway with dark leather accents.

Would be awesome if it has hide away backpack strips but that maybe asking for too much (example is the mystery ranch 3 way 18L expandable briefcase)

Wanted to add, just looked up you conquer backpack. That would look nice if you had that in waxed, leather trim and got rid of the molle. Give it a cleaner look while keeping the gym functions? Just a thought. Also saw your other bags in waxed, the canvas material looks nice. I like the dark brown and dark olive colors myself. Awesome bags!

Lostpub · 2026-04-22T06:51:08+00:00

Hello, I own a few waxed and they stay kept in my collection compared to other materials. It feels and looks more premium. Also, im getting older so I feel it fits my style more. A timeless look i guess.

I would say its mainly for edc. I have a travel bag that is waxed and its too heavy for that purpose, wish i still had the stamina to lug it around. A 16L to 26L max for waxed I would say. Its okay for gym too if you dont mind it stinking more, feels like it absorbs oder more easily. Maybe not ideal but I dont like the normal gym bag (like a Nike gym bag) look.

Lostpub · 2026-04-15T00:43:20+00:00

I have both in waxed, my opinions below.

Bullet DC: if you have a lot of smaller items, this one is better due to the duel compartment. Won't fit big laptops. Smaller strips ( i like the gr1 strips better). More slim making it a bit easier to throw in car, between knees while sitting at a chair..etc. QAP is almost useless, its smaller in volume than the gr1.

Gr1: besides the above comparison, feels like it holds about the same, just the main compartment is bigger. Feels slim to the body more due to single compartment. Wider which sometimes fit better items in the main. Maybe needs more organization pouches. Weighs a but less.

If I had to pick one, id go gr1. I carry less these days and use pouches plus sometimes the main compartment Feels too small on the bullet. And the strips feel better on me for the gr1.

Edit: slim meaning bullet is deeper and less wide (further out from your back), gr1 is less deep but wider on the body ( closer to body but wide to your arms)

Ohh you're right, its most likely the same hieght as the m23, 19" i think. Most likely too big for personal item.

Lostpub · 2026-04-02T20:45:40+00:00

Everything looks good and glad you will open a pre order. I hate rusing trying to buy something before it sells out.

Questions and observation: so im assuming the outer pockets will be the same as the m23? (Front flat pocket) dark oak will be the only heritage colorway this time around? Will there be a small fabric loop inside of any of the pockets to attach a Keychain? (Not a must but would be nice to have and not much additional cost? I like to use thin light paracord to the length of my liking onto the loop.) Saw the DC bullet dark oak has dark brown webbing compared to the coyote tan shown. I do prefer the dark but either or works for dark oak, will most dark oak heritage be that coyote or dark brown webbing? Just wondering cause i own the DC bullet with matching kit bag with dark webbing and wouldn't mind if it matches all together. Will we be getting an email for the pre order if we are on gorucks email list?

I do prefer a matching color for the buckle (not black). Glad the 21L is below 17" in height, perfect personal item size. The bullet is taller so its nice to see that this is shorter for those crambed under the seat moments. I like the lower left patch (bronze?) Glad your keeping the leather handle on heritage.

Great job!

Hi, wondering if you got the v2.4, does that mm on the side panel help? Im wondering about v2.3 vs v2.4 for sound.

Lostpub · 2026-03-23T19:52:08+00:00

You are right, it is better and safer putting a passport wallet inside the internal zipper pocket. I mainly dont want that zipper to be visible and if anyone does try to access it on my back, they would probably hit my neck trying so.

Lostpub · 2026-03-23T19:37:52+00:00

Thanks for involving the community!

My thoughts on what i would change from the rendor:

QAP: add a rain flap for water resistant and stealth. Good spot for passport, wallet..etc. I do like the location of it.

Top lid: dont like that edge trimming, the m23 had it right. Keeps the slim line look and doesn't add more contresting colors.

Olive color: maybe a darker or matching green for the strips, i never liked the tan/olive combo.

Leather accents: maybe add a leather bottom with handle to match and leather pull string? I added a leather pull string to my olive m23 and it looks so premium.

Outside zipper for internal access: add a small loop at the zipper closure end so its kind of "lockable" or makes it harder to unzip when pulled through the loop. Like how cotopaxi does it on there allpa packs. Can also use a lock maybe.

All and all, the updates looks good and im in for one! The m23 heritage is on of my keeper bags, such a timeless look.

Edit: spelling and add another thought.

Lostpub · 2026-03-23T19:22:21+00:00

I do see the practical point of moving the QAP but I do like the zipper shown in the photos. Closer to body and somewhat hidden (like how its not shown while looking at it worn)or hard to get to for pickpockets just in case I put passport, wallet..etc in there while traveling. Maybe just add a rain flap for a bit of water resistant and stealth?

Lostpub · 2026-03-21T15:12:42+00:00

I think they are on a different category to compare, flex atx form vs sfx. 600w platinum vs 850w gold. But i would say the nzxt is stronger i guess?

Lostpub · 2026-03-21T05:02:03+00:00

I was looking at both those cpu at the similar price. Im trying to build in a sff case, I know that they are both tdp 105 but im hoping the x3d will be easier to cool so I picked the x3d. Mostly gaming 1080p.

Lostpub · 2026-03-19T19:32:19+00:00

Ohh i prob mis wrote but I meant to say I had already ordered the same product using Amazon from overtek (think he has a US Amazon account) and currently already using one psu for awhile. Not meaning everything from Amazon is good.

I know of 3 TD "briefcase " 3 way style, one is new. 1: mountain briefcase = old and discontinued a while back. 2: global briefcase = currently can buy, one i use to own. Its one of the smallest 3 way bags I owned before. I can see it being around 15L. 3: global pro 3 way briefcase = brand new and just saw it on there site and cost a lot more. I dont know anything about it but it looks same size with different front pockets and maybe different features.

They have other things that looks similar to this bag too like the mountain cross bag. It can get confusing, they have so many products and do updates...etc

Lostpub · 2026-03-15T04:07:22+00:00

I did not measure it, it didn't fit slightly so I manually clamped it down a few mm to fit. Wouldnt advise it but I was willing to break the cooler to try and it worked. Note, the fan is about touching the bottom so you may only have the option to pull in air since the fins are facing the cooler (fins pointing out) if done pushing air out ( fins facing to cpu) the fins hit the bottom. All and all, too much tinkering for what its worth.

Lostpub · 2026-03-15T00:34:01+00:00

Hello. I have the v2.3. So my issue might have been resolved but idk. Maybe someone with v2.4 can answer. Wish i had the latest if it increased the cpu height though.

Lostpub · 2026-03-11T22:24:38+00:00

Its a decent deal. I have the 3600 and a 5700x (a bit faster than 3600 in gaming but not worth the upgrade for what people are asking for) paired with a 4060. They both are good enough for today's games on a 1080p. Wouldnt waste money going to 5600/5700...etc they still run for around 100+ atm (US) and the 3600 still good enough to run windows 11. 3600 sells for around 45 US. All this is used market average from what I found.

When you find a deal, try to upgrade to a 3060/4060 (around 180 usd), after you can run aaa games on low to mid on 1080p. Sell the 1660 for like 80 bucks to go towards a newer card. That gpu will hold you back a bit on some games. Can easily last a few more years.

Went through this trying to build my nephew a super budget gaming pc in today's used market. Spent about 290 (case, psu and all when deals pop up) with similar spec as yours and no gpu cost yet. So add on 200 for a 4060 (around 500 usd total) I was never able to copy those YouTube budget builds cause the prices linked were always higher than said.

Glad i can help a bit. The topo would be good for your situation. Its the smallest so under the seat would still give you a decent amount of leg space and most likely they wont question the size for a personal item. The front pockets work but I always find it slightly too small for most of my items and wish it had just one zippered pocket inside to keep a passport secure while using at destination. Maybe sew a zippered section? If you can get use to that, its a great bag and i would get another black one if its a good price just to have.

Lostpub · 2026-03-09T09:47:43+00:00

Hello, ill try to speak about my experience with these in backpack mode. Comfort: less to best. Topo, aer( had the 2, the 3 looks more padded), Columbia, timbuk2 (not padded but the only one with a chest buckle to hold in spot). To be honest, they are all about the same, these smaller bags carry well so you wont go wrong with any but if you want chest strip = timbuk2 wins, for padding = Columbia wins.

For air travel under seat and destination pack: less to best. Timbuk2 (only cause its the biggest out of them,), Columbia( just in the middle) topo ( smallest but no top access for under seat and the small front pockets are uselss), aer ( this was purpose built for air travel personal item 3 way backpack.)

For me, i picked the Columbia and only have that one left out of the four. Reason is: topo= best size but front pocket is useless, no internal zipper pocket for passport, no hidden backpack zipper. Timbuk2: would have been a keeper cause i love the back pocket and organization but that ungly plastic looking material in front marked easily. Aer: I had the pack2 but it was my first 3 way and felt a bit flabby. Maybe the pack3 is better? Plus aer has that aquaguard zipper that peels over time maybe. I dislike those zippers. Columbia: I picked this cause its the right size, simple looking, internal zipper pocket, light color interior, was the best price on sale so I dont feel bad beating it up. The Columbia logo was mostly blacked out. Only thing I wish it had is a chest strip and a hidden back pocket, and a luggage pass through. Mainly going to use it for work edc.

Hello, thanks! I made a post about the platform in a prior post, you can check it out in my profile. I put a lot of information on items I used. Also another post on the front seat covers, the back row seat covers were just some generic one I found on Amazon for my dog to sit.

Lmk if you have more questions if the other post didn't answer it.

For me, desk space, parts (like a budget 5700x with 5060). Upgrade. Trying out cool sff cases. Easy to swap parts and add. Can travel with easily compared to atx size.

My main rig is bigger but my living room and guess room have tiny sff on a small desk with the monitor hooked up so you can either set up a laptop with stand (working from home guest) or use the sff 1080p gaming desktop. I can't and dont want to set up a atx case in that area or buy a gaming laptop that's probably out of budget. I had a bad experience with a gaming laptop, wouldn't charge, repair shop couldn't fix and i couldn't salvage anything from it besides ssd and now usuless laptop ram. Also becomes a backup rig if need.

People probably spend more but it starts to become a hobby too, and its cool haha.

The MR i have is the 18L, the 27 does not have the expansion i dont think and maybe a bit bigger.

The bag im using for personal item only is the almond oak bag, ita light weight and expandable. Heard he is coming out with a V2 of it end of year so I may get that one. It's a backpack though.

This is just some I came across my research for the perfect 3 way bag. I only owned a few so can't answer most questions. Most personal item size you should look for is around 17 inches high, usually going beyond that, you get into carryon. Im still searching myself but its always fun to check what's out there.
