I am looking for any recommendations on a mITX motherboard that has sufficient VRM Mosfet for this chip. I bought an MSI B650i MPG Edge and it seems this is not sufficient, Price is not really the issue, but size is as I already have the case and in all honesty do not like any mid or full tower cases. So has several parts Does anyone know an mITX board that will take this CPU, can you confirm it working rather than speculating as I already have to try and get a refund on the board I have

THanks in advance
 
While I can't confirm my suggestions will work as you requested, I do have some to give... I also have some questions. Are you asking this question with hopes to use that chip's integrated graphics? Is that why it's not sufficient for you? I have read that the B650i has had some pushback as the VRM heatsink interferes with coolers, but nothing regarding the VRM circuitry.

I'd recommend Gigabyte's X870I Aorus Pro Ice board. It's designed to support their multi-stage VRM design and handles 8+ vcore phases. Though advertised and not tested, it's more sufficient than MSI's B650i on paper.
