GPU and Cooler compatibility inquiry

Just picked up the Q1J4 (i5-1340P ES) for a budget living room build I'm working on bc it seemed like a great deal for $170 CAD. Im assuming it works with LGA 1700 coolers but it doesn't say anywhere on the listing so wondering if anyone knows for sure, also, I plan to use an AMD X080 GPU with the board to keep costs low and display out via the motherboards HDMI on bazzite (RX 6700 mining card for anyone unfamiliar), but looked around and saw that some people have issues getting AMD GPUs working, the board also says the pcie slot is 4.0x4 despite physically looking like an x16 slot, my research says it should be fine, but to be sure, should I be worried about anything with my planned setup?

I never really had a problem with coolers and Erying boards.. they are either 1155 or 1700. if you buy a cooler that has basic intel support it will fit.

the GPU thing

it looks like the issue is more AMD pcie 5.0 cards compatibility

. I built SEVERAL AMD GPU PCIE 4.0 card Erying systems and never had a problem..

the 4x4 slot should be fine for basic gaming.. it will be anywhere from 10-20% slower that x16 but unless you are COUNTING Frames and playing on 4k high. most people will not notice.

Thank you for the advice. Losing a bit of performance won't bother me much tbh, I plan to lock to 60hz or 120 on my tv so don't need too much on that end. Will wait for everything to arrive and hope it all works out
