Motherboard to match ryzen 2600

Andygully · 12 Dec 2018 at 08:06

I'm looking at different motherboard to match the ryzen 2600 I keep seeing people recommend the Gigabyte Aorus GA-AX370-Gaming 5 AMD.
Is it any good or should I be looking at a 450 or 470 board?

What is your budget and what features do you need? Like Wi-Fi etc.

recommended as VRM design better then b450 for extra £30 in some cases, also should deal better with zen2 and zen3 chips in the near future .
best B450 board is Aorus ITX due to using very good and expensive Phase chips followed buy MSI Mort board which is ATX .

I would take this over the X370 offering:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Gigabyte B450 AORUS PRO (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £109.99

Total: £120.49 (includes shipping: £10.50)

Which is what I was going to recommend if you asked for something fully featured at a reasonable cost, but you didn't actually end up saying which features you wanted.

Good choice though, really nice board.
