I bought this from microcenter for $120 after discount and going to return it because it has vrm whine, paired with 7700x if mattered. Can someone suggest a am5 itx or mATX board of better quality? ~$250

I would agree with annesophic that purchasing a better motherboard with better VRMs and features is the way to go. This one is far too basic for my taste. I also am assembling a Ryzen 7700X build and went with the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX based on a lot of research from highly respected YouTube reviewers such as Buildzoid from Actually Hardware Overclcocking. He is a bit strange but he does know his stuff.

Except that board isn't mATX or ITX like he was looking for...

Why you would buy all the way into AM5 and NOT demand pcie 5.0 is beyond me.
