Outside of his budget.

 

@dave_k The strix is the best option within your budget.

Hello, i asked for a return of my B350 Pro Gaming Carbon because of the shitty lights and unability to control RGB strip (very important in my build)

My maximum budget for the board is around $170

I was looking to Strix B350F from Asus, because it offers very good VRM, superb RGB support and best BIOS in terms of compatibility and UI

What do you think about the Strix ? note that the prices here are way higher than the ones in US 

Its has to be color neutral, no red, orange accents or single color LEDs

Grey or Black

Asus Aura Sync really does a great job for RGB enthusiasts

This one looks tasty, how is the BIOS ui on Gigabyte mtbs ?

Also isn´t 7 power phases VRM pretty  bad for X370 ? The X370Prime-Pro has better VRM for same money

Edit: nvm, I just noticed the "parts higher than in the US" bit :P
