Motherboard for Ryzen

Đorđe

So I've been planning on buying AMD's new Ryzen 7 1700 since it first came out, as I need the CPU and RAM upgrade. Currently I'm "rocking" Intel's i3-3240 and Sapphire's RX 480 8GB version as well as 4GB of DDR3 RAM... What Motherboard is the best for the Ryzen 1700 and will the memory support be an issue since I am going for a 16GB 3200MHz kit?

ASRock Taichi has good reviews all over the place.

Just check the RAM compatibility list and you should reach the advertised speeds.

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X Cooler: Corsair H100i Platinum SE Mobo: Asus B550-A GPU: EVGA RTX 2070 XC RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200MHz 16CL 4x8GB (DDR4) SSD0: Crucial MX300 525GB SSD1: Samsung QVO 1TB PSU: NZXT C650 Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow Monitor: Asus VG259QM (240Hz)

If you plan to overclock, X370 and B350 Motherboard will be fine, if you dont plan to overclock, A320 is enough. If you plan to do a SLI or Crossfire setup, X370 are the only motherboards that support those. For a set of 16GB 3200MHz Kit, X370 will be more suitable as upgrading in the future will be more easier but Linus has made a video about the speed of the ram and in conclusion, MHz doesn't really matter. But if you insist to go with that speed or you have already with you, go ahead, I'm not judging. Hope this helps!

Would MSI's B350 Tomahawk do the job for the money?

Yup.  The Asrock AB350 Pro4 is also very nice, I have the mATX version (AB350M)

SFF-ish:  Ryzen 5 1600X, Asrock AB350M Pro4, 16GB Corsair LPX 3200, Sapphire R9 Fury Nitro -75mV, 512gb Plextor Nvme m.2, 512gb Sandisk SATA m.2, Cryorig H7, stuffed into an Inwin 301 with rgb front panel mod.  LG27UD58.

 

Aging Workhorse:  Phenom II X6 1090T Black (4GHz #Yolo), 16GB Corsair XMS 1333, RX 470 Red Devil 4gb (Sold for $330 to Cryptominers), HD6850 1gb, Hilariously overkill Asus Crosshair V, 240gb Sandisk SSD Plus, 4TB's worth of mechanical drives, and a bunch of water/glycol.  Coming soon:  Bykski CPU block, whatever cheap Polaris 10 GPU I can get once miners start unloading them.

 

MintyFreshMedia:  Thinkserver TS130 with i3-3220, 4gb ecc ram, 120GB Toshiba/OCZ SSD booting Linux Mint XFCE, 2TB Hitachi Ultrastar.  In Progress:  3D printed drive mounts, 4 2TB ultrastars in RAID 5.
