Why buy expenisive x570 motherboards?

[Niel_A]

What is the difference between cheaper x570 motherboards like the Asus - PRIME X570-P ATX AM4 Motherboard of $165
and a expensive motherboard like ROG Crosshair viii hero of $430

[KING OF THE DIRTY DANS]

More Money = More Better.

But seriously, its just like any mobo, they have differnt prices

I would just get the prime tbh

Quality of VRMs and other components usually (not always) tends to be better. That's not a guarantee though.

Features and other small things like aesthetics are usually better as you move up in price.

All are great and are worth $50 extra but where does the $270 extra come from then?

considering they start at 160-170$. idk what you are on about. 

 

x570 is pretty much better than x470 at every tier.

This has literally all the answers you need

The most I would spend would be 300$, it's crazy to see mobos like the Asus with EK waterblocks on the VRMs for... 300$ more than a comparable motherboard but with out those waterblocks?

 

I'm picking the Taichi X570 for my X3900 that I just ordered, and I'm glad I made the right choice,seems to be the best sub 300$ X570 motherboard.

Go for it Taichi is a solid board.  The 570 boards are costing as much as HEDT boards in the past.  All because of PCIe 4.0.  Which is why Intel is sticking with PCIe 3.0 for their 10th generation of CPU's in 2020.  I mean we just bought our 20xx GPU what 10 months.  The way nVidia does things in the past it will be another 1 full year before you hear of the 30xx GPU's.  nVidia is about 2 years every product.  The 1080 came out and was alone on top of the industry for over 2 years until the 20xx came. 

 

So basically your paying for PCIe 4.0 which you don't even use, and that is about it.  But I will admit if I went 3900x I would get a x570 board just because it works the best with that CPU and what not.  I don't like this x470 BIOS flash stuff,,, if your getting a new CPU get a new mobo as well and RAM if you don't have it.

this "What is the difference" question is incorrect

 

It should be "What are the differences" because there are waaaaay to many differences, hare are just a few of them:

 

Ports

connectivity

VRM rating for supporting high core-count overclocked CPUs

Better cooling for your components

Looks and quality of materials

Handy features and buttons to make your life easer (POWER/RESET buttons, temperature indicators, troubleshooting stuff, etc)

And special add-ons (waterblocks so that you don't have to buy them separately, RGB and so on)

Figure out what your budget and specific needs first, and once you have done all of that, then you can make better questions to get BETTER HELP

Hope it helps...

What does VRM rating do?

The 2 im comparing are both x570, what does the most expensive have more that is worth $270

What makes the taichi so much better than the prime x570p?

The better the VRM the better overclocks you get

 

but buying a $700 board with a monstruosity of VRM is not necessarily a good idea.

 

Indead those boards are for LN2 OC mostly, just get one with a VRM that doesn't stink hard

 

You can watch gamers nexus and actually hardcore overclocking, they will tell you what VRM is OK. Otherwise we need to get into "boring" electronics stuff.

I went with a 450 bazooka, I wanted matx and the ONLY x570m was almost 200 dollers, it looked nice though
