just wondering https://www.amazon.ca/GIGABYTE-B450-AORUS-PRO-Motherboard/dp/B07FW85VFT/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=gigabyte+am4&qid=1575764036&sr=8-2

good for what?

 

from what I can tell, teh Gigabyte bios is easy to work with.

as apposed to asrock or asus

 

i am sure there are better alternatives for mobo, the asus tuf gaming x570 plus is a good mobo, real tek lan, no wifi, solid board

do you require any features on the mobo, like wifi6, thunderbolt, gb lan, 10gb lan ?

is that what it has?

[amdorintel]

ASUS TUF Gaming X570 Plus with wifi is $195

solid vrm for oc, has some t/s features, great board

no wifi version is $165 so great price

its been mentioned that this is a great board by bullzoid on yt

 

 

cheapest way to get wifi 6 is asrock x570 steel legend wifi ax  @$195

weaker vrm

 

 

gb x570 gaming x $170

bios flashback good for buying mobo before 4000 cpu, for 3000cpu does nothing, vrm is not worth celebrating.

 

my recommendations go by bullzoids yt vid

I am just asking because you buy a motherboard that ticks off all the requirements you need now, and perhaps in the future.

i see bullzoids video states GB B450 Aorus Pro wifi is a straight up avoid.

btw the video has a legend of all the mobos, in the comments.

 

 

a great alternative is the Tomahawk Max at $115, comes out of the box support for ryzen 3

This question is more suitable for this forum . Also, I'd recommend visiting this topic below to see what are the best and worst motherboards, that way you can find a motherboard with your desired features. If you are an advanced users you can take a look at this spreadsheet
