Which motherboard to pair with a 5900x

[Nightlight42]

I am looking for a motherboard to pair with the 5900x that has good vrm and overclocking capabilities, I am going to get a rtx 3080 and probably 3600mhz ram as well as NVMe.
Budget would be around £250.

(Sorry I am fairly new to looking at motherboards)

I have just installed a 5950X onto a Gigabyte Aorus Master. It's stable and working fine. Got a CPU score of 14545 on Timespy with just the stock settings and PBO set to Auto. Using 4 sticks of the T-force Ripped 8Gb 3600 RAM and a WD Black SSD. In a queue for a RTX 3090.

Either of these would be fine. If you want something cheaper then you could go with a B550 board like the B550 Tomahawk.


My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Gigabyte X570 AORUS PRO (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 Chipset ATX Motherboard= £209.99
• 1 x MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk WiFi (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 ATX Motherboard= £209.99

Total: £431.08 (includes shipping: £11.10)
