Any suggestions on a motherboard to buy for use with a Ryzen 5950X?
Needs to have good power supply, decent NVMe cooling, lots of USB ports, room for an NH-D15 and no horrible LED lighting or ridiculous tiny high RPM fans. Don't need a single SATA port or other legacy nonsense.

Don't really care that much about the size, as long as there's a way to use a GPU without missing PCIe lanes while using the NH-D15. microATX or ATX are both fine. Anything larger is pointless. Price isn't super important.
Too many choices, always the hardest part to choose...

I run an ASUS X570 Plus with my 5800X - good price/perf. Pro model has 2.5GbE, a USB 3.2 header, and WiFi 6 if those matter.

Maybe you can use this spreadsheet of all AM4 motherboards to sort through the chaff? docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d

Most of the features don't make much difference to me beyond good power supply and USB ports.
I settled on ASUS since I can't go with my strong preference of EVGA (Intel only) and chose the PRIME X570 Pro because it's the cheapest one with support for additional USB-C ports.
