What would be the difference between these two motherboards, pairing it with a r7 3700x. Can't decide which one help!
If you had to decide between these two, which one would you pick, and why?
I don't know which to pick because their specs are so similar. I planning to put in a ryzen 9 5800x with a aio connected. I also have some Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x16GB ram sticks if that helps you guys know which is best for me
High End ITX Build Help
Hello, I’m currently in the process of building a new system for myself this is going to be the second pc I’ve built, and my first ITX and water cooled system so I’m stepping into new territory. Hoping some of y’all with more experience and knowledge than me can help me with building my dream pc.
Here is my parts list. I’ll be building out of the upcoming SSUPD Meshlicious.
Not sure if I should stick with the B550 or go with the X570.
If anyone has any suggestions on anything I’d love to hear you out. Thank you. :)
The issue with the X570-I is that it lacks BIOS Flashback.
If you care about having a quiet build, dont get the X570-I. I returned mine because the chipset fan ran at 6000rpm at idle and it was louder than any other fan in my build. You can install a custom bios that will allow you to adjust the fan curve but you risk bricking your mobo and voiding your warranty.
As the title implies, I am trying to buy a motherboard for me new K39 build. Its the last thing I need to buy and I am currently trying to decide whether to get the Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO or the ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING.
They are the two cheapest motherboards in my region that both have 2 M.2 Slots, the Aorus is £30 cheaper than the ROG board.
The Aorus board has a backplate and I was wondering if that will any effect on clearance when installing it into the K39.
I have heard 2 people saying their Nvme ssd got fried using the Aorus, but except for that I have only heard good things about both. Has anybody got any good or bad experience with said boards? Are the noise levels low? Do either lack anything that I am missing?
Thanks for any help in advance!
Hey guys,
I'm currently in the process of ordering a motherboard for my ITX build and i'm seeking some advice for to choose one. After weeks of asking around and posting on forums, i've more or less accepted the fact that there isn't going to be any new chipsets for Zen 3. I've narrowed down my options to the ROG X570-I and the ROG B550-I. This build is an ITX and i wanted to get a board capable of running an OC 12 core or 16 core zen 3 processor.
A few variables i was able to ignore because it doesn't make much difference to me are:
ROG X570-I:
-
Doesn't have 2.5G Lan ( My internet speed is nowhere near 1G anyhow)
-
No Type C front header port for my case (Sliger SM580 can use a 3.0 header for the type C front connection)
-
DIMM slots go up to 4800MHZ (Nor sure Ryzen will need anywhere near this speed RAM)
ROG B550-I:
-
NVME Limited to Gen3 speeds on rear of board (Don't think i'm going to be using a gen 4 NVME as my secondary games drive but not sure)
-
Weaker power delivery according to Buildzoid (This is the most important part for me, i need it to comfortably run an OC Ryzen 12/16 core chip)
-
Extremely cut down Rear I/O (Seriously, this board has like 3 or 4 USB A ports)
Due to these factors, i've ordered the X570-I because i can live without the few drawbacks which pretty much don't affect me. What i wanna know however is if the ROG B550-I board is more than capable of running a 12/16 core Zen3 CPU. Sorry for the long post, thanks for any help you guys can offer!
Anandtech recommend the GIGABYTE B550I Aorus Pro AX.

For the love of God, don't buy ASUS
If overclocking is really an important thing for you and you want a configuration that is not too bulky and cumbersome, plan instead a configuration based on a microATX motherboard, you will have better VRMs and especially which will heat up much less because on a motherboard in miniITX format, VRMs are not really at their advantage, in microATX, there are a number of boxes that are almost as compact as most ITX boxes and above all you will have a lot of possibilities and possible options. Otherwise, you can also cut the pear in half: There is the ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII IMPACT motherboard in miniDTX format which is halfway between miniITX and microATX (although closer to the miniITX) but which is well cooled in terms of VRMs and a little better equipped in general.
