Have not posted here in 14 years and so had to setup new account as forgot my username and password and email address has changed since. Anyway, finally got around to building a new PC (part list below) for gaming and general use. The only thing I am short is a Motherboard.
But other then AM5 motherboard I am stumped which model. I would like some advice on what I should go for. Budget not really a concern. However I hate rgb. I am not interested in overclocking so I guess 18+2 power stages @110amps and heavy duty heatsinks won't matter.
I also don't need a dozen usb ports, thunderbolt/usb4, latest ethernet or wifi7. So I should probably be looking at B650/B650e. Gen 5 NVME support would be nice down the road though when the things run cooler and have better random r/w performance.
Are boot time issues still a thing with expo turned on or has this been ironed out in bios's. I made sure to buy memory that are on the QVL for these boards I read up on
