Hi Guys,

I appologise in advance I am about to build a new pc and was looking at the 9800x3d but struggling to find what board to go for as the more I read the more I find things like Coil Whine or boot hanging or long times booting amongst other issues.

I know all boards are not 100% and I do appologise as I can see there is dedicated threads by owners of some of the main choices but a lot of them are old and without going through each thread wanted to know after time has passed what would be the recommendations on board?

Normally I go for the mid range Asus ROG so in terms of budget looking around the £200-£250 mark maybe minimum of 3 m2 slots that can be used without impacting performance elsewhere. and I was going to add 2x32gb vengenance 6000 ddr 5 memory as I believe this is the sweet spot as I do Racing / flight sims so think the extra 32gb would be benificial :)

I will be keeping my 3090 for now until i can find a decent priced 4090 as I dont think the 5090 is going to be much of a step in VR

Thanks again for your help, much appreciated :cool:
 
Thanks guys really appreciate the quick responses

So if i want the M2 slots with no performance hit elsewhere do I stay away from x870 then ? Dont think I am going to use USB4 as I will need usb 4 devices to benefit the performance.

Good to hear about the boot times being resolved.
 
Thanks for the advice...

So thinking of getting this Tomahawk as it looks stable, however trying to find a compatable rgb 2x 32gb expo kit is something else... I was going to get the corair vengenace 64gb kit (CMH64GX5M2B6000Z40) but after checking the compatability list for memory on the msi site and this was not listed?

Anyone have or know what black RGB 2x 32gb 6000 ddr5 memory around the £200ish mark that is compatable and worth having?

Many Thanks ;)
