Why this matters
Z590 is the enthusiast LGA-1200 chipset: CPU overclocking, more PCIe lanes and, as a rule, the strongest VRMs of the socket. Mini-ITX is for genuinely small builds: one PCIe slot, two RAM slots, and cooling is the real constraint.
Usually chosen by: builders who fixed both the chipset and the case size.
