Board for a 10400f

[Minibiker]

Hi all

Just looking to see what a decent board would be for a 10400f... I was thinking B460, the Z490 I think may be a bit to overkill

Any help appreciated

Cheers

B460 will limit ram speed to 2666mhz for the I5 z490 doesnt so you have to way up the price to performance.

Msi has Wi-Fi but no pcie x4 slot.

CODE My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Gigabyte B460M Aorus Pro (Socket LGA 1200) DDR4 Micro-ATX Motherboard= £89.99
• 1 x MSI B460M PRO-VDH WIFI (Socket LGA 1200) DDR4 Micro-ATX Motherboard= £96.95

Total: £197.44 (includes shipping: £10.50)​

That's the only thing I didn't think of, my RAM is a Corsair 3200mhz kit so won't get the full wack from it on B460

If you buy a z490 board then your in the price range of a 3600 and b550 motherboard.

Any recommendations on the Ryzen side of things in the same price bracket bud
