B350-f or x370 on Ryzen 5 2600 and why?

[YungYottis]

Wassup guys,so I am planning to build my first ever pc next week and I already got some parts while some of them are on the way.For cpu I chose to go with the r5 2600 along with the asus rog strix b350-f mobo  which I will update.But my question is:Will the cpu run well on a b350 or i will have any problems?The problem is that I find b350-f so gorgeous and I can’t to not buy it and I wanna know If is it worth buying a b350 or going with a x370 and why.Oh and also will I have any problems with the g.skill aegis 8gb 3000mhz on this build?Sorry for my bad English tho and thanks for ur time:)

Doesn't matter much, throw a coin.

 

Differences between the two are like PCIe lanes, USB Ports and S-ATA.

Make sure the motherboard is Ryzen 2000 Ready.

A320, B350 & X370 motherboards were release with the Ryzen 1000 series so might need a BIOS update for Ryzen 2000 support.

 

For the memory you should be fine, although if you want to be absolutely sure, buy a kit from the QVL for this board:

Look for the DDR4 3000 Qualified Vendors List (QVL) section in that list.

vrm differences can be important.

Op make sure to have airflow over them

Yes, but  I think he is talking about those boards:

I recommend Asus Prime X370 Pro or Asus Strix X370-F, Prime X470 Pro and X470-F for 2nd gen.

I wouldn't recommend B350-F now.

Can you explain me why?

I’m talking about the b350-f vs any other good and cheap x370

those boards are made for the 4 core chips, their vrms aren't too strong (more important on the new chips as they run as overclocked 1 gen chips

The X370 Pro 4 is now at really good price, worth checking it out.

So what do you think it will happen in the worst case scenario if I get the b350 with the r5 2600

you will get very high vrm temps and the capacitors will be unhappy leading to the board lasting less time
