Motherboard for the Ryzen 7 3700x

[Valcorb]

Hello everyone,

 

the past few weeks I've been doing some research on what motherboard I should get for the Ryzen 7 3700x. I think its best to not get a B450 motherboard, as the good ones are all MSI and I've read some terrible issues that people had with the company.

 

I have some different choices which are:

- Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite

- ASUS TUF Gaming X570 Plus (No WiFi)

 

What do you think is best? If you can recommend other boards, please do so.

 

Thanks!

From what i know the best is just the one that has the correct chipset, the ports you want and looks the best

As much as I like Asus, Gigabyte has been making high end motherboards lately, so I would go with Aorus Elite for sure.

Aren't they both the same chipset?

They are, that was kinda my point that they're both the same-ish. i'd go for the one that has the ports you want + what looks good

You can aim for a lot more than just ports and appearance. Proper VRM solutions, memory OC capability and topology, heat sink design, all pretty important factors. Although in all these things, the Aorus and TUF listed in the original post are pretty neck and neck

Which one would you pick?

Gigabyte customer support is slightly less painful so I would choose them

My vote goes towards.the X570 TuF. It's extremely good for the money
