Motherboard help

[Ben a cava]

Does anyone know if the ASUs b450m - k atx 4 motherboard supports led 5050 pins as I can’t find it anywhere

[LukeSavenije]

5050? what do you want to connect?

as far as I know non-aura motherboards don't have a rgb header. And that motherboard is cheaply made in general. no vrm heatsink for example

For what it is worth, I don’t have this board, but I looked at the specs and could not find it listed, nor when looking at the photos could I see one. But that’s just from observation so I may be wrong.

me neither. the only leds i see are in the audio pad. This is more of a home theatre board as far as I can see

well, there are so many for so many different people. what is your budget, location and what do you want to do with it?

I’m from uk, my budget is under £90 and I just want to game with a bit of schoolwork too. The system will have a razed 5 2600 and gtx 1070

Tbh no, not really, I am more of an intel sorta guy. I hear a lot of people talk about the b450 tomahawk from msi, which a quick check reveals it to have 2 5050 12v rgb headers (double check this), but I have no idea on how the motherboard performs. 

 

Other than that, the 5050 connectivity is usually listed under “internal IO” or “internal connectivity” or something of the nature, in the mobos specs. 

Edit: ^if you want to search for one yourself. 

[LukeSavenije]

well, the pro4 is unbeatable for the price, only 60 bucks. with vrm heatsink, great vrms, enough io, much better than that asus prime board

tomahawk is great too, but a bit above your budget

fatal1ty is a recommendation

and to end, the aorus elite if you want rgb lighting on the cheap

5050 is 12 volt? that makes it much easier to search. most synced boards (aura, mystic, fusion, polychrome) have that header

Gigabyte Ultra Durable GA-AB350M-DS3H provides rgb on the cheap as well. competes pretty well with the pro4 actually.

really? aren't those a320/b350 combo chipset boards?

[Overbuilder]

Yeah, of course man, it's a gigabyte board lol.

supports RGB LED strips in 7 colors though of you want cheap RGB and don't need a super great board.
