Please help me get the right MOBO!!

[Hold-Ma-Beer]

These are some MOBOs I've been looking:

1. MSI B450m PRO M2
2. MSI B450m PRO M2 V2
3. Gigabyte B450m DS3H
4. Gigabyte B450m VDH
5. Asus prime B450m

So pls tell me the best one out of these

I have a budget of only INR 7k

Thanks

The asus one has no cooling for the VRMs,and the VRMs are not good enough for 8 cores and above,barely for 6.

The tomahawk's VRMs are not good enough for 8 cores either.

Go for the Gigabyte AORUS ELITE,it has good enough VRMs for even the 12 core 3900x,

If you choose a board with not good enough VRMs,future upgrades will be very limited.

I totally agree with you, but as I mentioned earlier, I have a tight budget this time, so please tell me the best in that range

The Gigabyte B450m DS3H is the best in that price range,The VRMs will be ok for a 6 core,8 core will work but not recommended.

Yes about that, I was just looking around and I found Gigabyte B450m gaming (the one with red stripes all over) 

Is it a good buy at 6k?

That board has the same VRMs but less RAM slots than the Gigabyte B450m DS3H

I don't know the market value in India but that's expensive.

 

Buy whatever is cheaper between the two.

I am having minute post times woth the Tomahawk max.. really shitty board. Can't even get my memory to the recommended 3200 mhz not even with cl17..

.For the board's VRM. With heatsink added it's basically a Pro-VDH, not great but already one of the better B450 boards.

 

and this is the right post.

What memory kit is that? What CPU did you pair it with?

Cpu: 3700x 

Memory: corsair 2x 16gb 3200mhz cl16

noted. 1st time I've heard of 3rd gen on B450 Max board (which means it natively runs older bios revisions compared to non-MAX boards) reject 3200MHz memory. Even 64GB should be ok normally.

[Do you really wanna know]

Have you considered X370 boards? They have way way better VRMs' than the boards you suggest, and are now much cheaper than they were...

 

You might be better served by X370 than B450?

Ok, but it's only a 300 INR difference. I mean in the B450m gaming a better Mobo than the ones I listed?

Pro M2 V2 right? 

It's the cheapest in my area but adding additional heatsink for a first timer like my would just add complexity..

And sorry, my bad, you were on the right thread

Gigabyte B450m DS3H is better.

Go for the Gigabyte B450m DS3H.

I would rather not get the V2 since it's worse than V1

Wait, this the MSI VDH?

DS3H's heatsink is even worse, I'd say the Gaming is better if marginally better.
