Hi all,

 

This may be a strange question, but how does the Crosshair VI (X370) stack up against a B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC? They are roughly the same price here in Germany (see images below), so I thought I'd ask. Also, seeing as it is a X370 board, how would this board fare with a 2600/3600/3700X?

Thanks.

Go with the B450 Gaming pro carbon! Either of those mentioned cpu’s Will work after a bios update which can be done via USB

C6H have a better VRM except if you compare it to X470 gaming pro carbon AC now its kinda the same VRM.

I would go with the B450 Pro Carbon, probably got better memory overclocking then the X370.

As for VRM the Pro Carbon will handle any present CPUs.

Main System: Ryzen 2700, Asus Crosshair VII Hero, EVGA GTX 1080ti SC, 970 EVO Plus NVMe, Crucial Ballistix 3200mhz CL14, CM H500, CM ML240L cpu cooler.

Second System: Ryzen 2400G, Gigabyte B450 DS3H, RX 580 Nitro+, Kingston A400 SSD, Team T-Force 3200mhz CL15

If it ain't overclocked it ain't good...
