Hi,

 

i want to upgrade my rig to a Ryzen5 3600 and need a new Mainboard. I am looking for something in the 150€/170$ price segment. I was thinking of the MSI Gaming Plus MAX as it supports 2 M2 and has a lot of USB Ports. But i read that MSI is not recommended. Can someone give me some recommendations. Rest of the build with new and already owned parts (Case, PSU, CPU Cooler) currently looks like this:

MSI is said to have the best boards in the B450 line. My B450-A Pro has been great, low temps and stable even before the ABBA BIOS failure.

Asrock fatal1ty is nice imo. If you like Asrock of course.

Indeed. What's not to like? They put out solid boards consistently with out you needing to break the bank to get one.

But their bioses are not the best. Last time I wanted to set single sata port as hotplug and the only option I had was disable and enable for all ports. And for older Ryzens temperature reading is messed up - bios shows temp without  offset, but qfan settings are based on correct values. So messed up.
