I am waiting for Zen 2 and looking for a mb for it. I had settled with the X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming, but it appears that it doesn’t support zen 2? https://www.aorus.com/product-detail.php?p=778

it says ryzen 2nd generation, have they not updated it or will it not be compatible?

The Ryzen 3000 CPUs are listed in the CPU tab.

MSI B450 Tomahawk being the lowest choice.

MSI B450 Carbon or X470 Carbon being great choices.

Aorus Gaming X470 being a decent choice for 8-core Zen2 but not above that.

So what X470/B450 should I get? Don’t want it to be more expensive than this one.
