Recommend a Micro ATX M/Board for a 9950x3d..

[MarkeR]

Trying to get a build together and looking for a decent m/board to go with the cpu..

Budget around £100 to £130, will be on my lan, not going to overclock anything, hopefully a couple of nvme slots..

Thanks

What GPU are you planning to use? You're right on the bottom end of B650 boards with your budget I would consider upping it slightly to get one with a decent VRM for the CPU. Asrock do a cheap B650 board which is decent but I would have the fear using asrock on a 9000 series CPU. I have one on a 7000 series and its fine.

On pre-order, but I'd get this:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Sapphire Nitro+ B850M WiFi (Socket AM5) DDR5 Micro-ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-SPR-05690) = £119.99

Total: £123.98 (includes delivery: £3.99)​

Is that a CPU you're planning on hammering for hours on end? If so, I'd consider upping your budget.

I was going to recommend that but it's on pre order. The pulse version is in stock at £130 but it doesn't seem great.

Edit: Sorry I see you mentioned it's on pre order

Up your budget. A good CPU should be paired with a good motherboard.
