So I’m looking for a good motherboard for the Ryzen 3600. I was looking at the Newegg Black Friday deals and they had the Asrock b450 steel legend for $70. I was wondering if this would be good for over clocking or should I just go for something with bios flashback like the b450 tomohawk? Thanks

If you buy the steel legend and it needs an update, message AMD customer support to get a boot kit (or see if a friend will lend you a CPU.)

 

The steel legend is a great deal for only $70

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Thank you. Would I not message Asrock to see if they could just update bios for me? I’ve never heard of a boot kit.

Asrock doesn't sell the board to you directly so if anything you'd ask the retailer.

you should get the B450 tomahawk because that's what I use in my battle station and there have been no problems so far, but I run a AMD Ryzen 7 2700x gold edition.But still a good chose to go for.
