I recently lost my motherboard gigabyte ax370 gaming k5 to a power surge and Im short on budget for a new one. I'm looking at a msi b450m which a m-atx mobo for my ryzen 1700x which is in budget but my work requires the processor to be running at 100 load for 12 to 14 hours at a time.. I have a h100i liquid cooler. Should i go for it or do I need a b450 atx for this purpose? Please help.

Awesome.. I have heard about some instances where the motherboard heats up under full load coz its a micro atx and not a full atx. Any Chance of that happening?
It can happen but not with that CPU. a 12 or 16 core CPU may have some trouble though, Good case ventilation applies anyway.

Yes, it's capable of that.
