Hi guys. I have a question, this motherboard Gigabyte B550 AORUS Pro V2 it's better or worse than B550 AORUS Pro ?

they are equal

[Dyzson]

Hi, 
This is my configuration: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NrRjt8

 

My motherboard had a factory defect, the LED's were broken and the LAN port is broken. I got a cash refund for it and am wondering what to buy.

 

The new board must be ATX and have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in. I'm not likely to overclock the CPU.

I'm wondering about the point of buying a B550, I think a B450 will do, and I'd rather redirect my budget into an integrated Wi-fi/Bluetooth module.

 

I'm considering MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon Max WIFI, are you able to suggest any interesting alternatives at a similar price?

If within $200 is okay there's the Asus B550 TUF Wifi, Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite AX V2 and MSI B550 Carbon Wifi. They do offer more than their price increase, but if you dont want to spend that much then the B450 Carbon is good.

Are there any real benefits of the B550 over the B450 with the Zen2 processor? Do they have any extra features worth paying extra for? Are the prices higher because the boards are realistically better made or is it about something else? (I am skipping the power section itself)

I ask because the MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon Max WIFI motherboard costs $174 in my country and the ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS (WI-FI) costs $192, while the MSI MPG B550 GAMING CARBON WIFI costs $237.

The MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX at $101 was enough for me, but I could use a good Bluetooth module for headphones, and I don't want external USB adapters.

The boards can offer more, say wifi 6 and faster USBs. Not CPU specific features though.

There are internal wireless cards too

[InfraDelta]

So I am currently looking at B550 Aorus Pro or a B550-F ROG Strix Gaming.
So far the only things that are different with them are:

- Aorus has more usb ports which I may need. (my current setup uses 7/8 ports(kb/m, webcam, 2 external hdds, usb cable for phone and bluetooth adapter))
-B550-F has wifi and bluetooth modules.

-then their offerings for software.

I'm actually in pretty much the same boat as this. Building from microcenter. I was leaning Aorus Pro (non v2, from what i can see, sadly), but was being told its mediocre by the rep and to go with the rog-strix. If a small price hike (~$50) can net me considerably better quality/performance, I'm open to other options as well.

5900x, b-die 3600cl16 2x16 ram, so some headroom for a little OC probably wouldn't hurt. I have no experience with either software, so that may be an important factor as well.

You can get more USBs from front panel headers

 

I think that Gigabyte board also has Wifi variant?

Yea the AC version for v1, AX for v2. I'm leaning that direction. Is this and the Rog Strix otherwise pretty much on par?

In regard to my separate comment, if I want to splurge, I also have the option of the MSI x570s tomahawk. Though it's not on the list yet, I imagine this likely sits in the same category as the x570 version.

on hardware, pretty much.

[Kyvu]

Thoughts on B550 Aorus Master vs X570s Tomahawk vs Rog Strix B550E?

They're all within similar price range if I decide to move up from the b550f/aorus pro category. All 5 of these boards seem primed to OC a 5900x, it's just that I have no first hand experience of their quality, bios, and software. I've heard "terrible software/RGB" across literally every platform, so it's hard to sift through the noise.

B550 Unify still looks to be the best

 

Was expecting X570S Tomahawk to be better than the B550 one because it's newer and could have been made with new PCB, but looking at its memory support I dont think MSI made a drastic change like that.

 

I'm less confident with the B550-E after seeing the XE disappoint Buildzoid

 

In terms of being a motherboard (i.e. look at more than just overclocking), X570S Tomahawk is the best. The chipset allowed it to have more faster USBs and 2 M.2 4.0 x4 without cutting into the graphics card's PCIe bandwidth.

After diving into more of Buildzoid's content, I'm actually leaning far heavier toward the b550 Unify-X in that price range now. I've completely disregarded the new tomahawk after watching his review, and I'm fairly certain I'll be sticking with b550 since I'm getting B-Die RAM I want to have some fun with. Which, in turn, is why I looked into the Unify-X. So it's Aorus Pro AC baseline or bump up $60 to the Unify-X. They both seem really solid, I'm just new to all of this, so I'm not sure of what I'll need in the future (better vrm, memory channels, and extra pcie4.0 on the unify-x, etc...)

As far as I'm aware, an RTX 3080 won't fully saturate a pcie 4.0 x8 lane anyway, let alone x16, if I use the m.2 pcie 4.0 from the CPU on the unify-x, right? I don't want to bottleneck my GPU just to get an extra pcie 4.0 m.2 SSD, when I can easily just throw a pcie 3.0 m.2 SSD in the chipset slot on either board.

Are there any quality of life points I'm missing here to really sway me one way or the other, such as what you mentioned with the x570s tomahawk's USB support, or perhaps notorious issues with any of these boards that I'll have to work through?

Availability. B550 Unify/Unify-X and X570S boards from MSI are much harder to get than the other MSI boards or other brands, outside of Taiwan and China.

I've got both in stock at microcenter  Sadly, this is why I didn't list the Aorus Pro AX (v2). Microcenter only has the AC (v1) for unknown reasons.
So short of not getting my hands on one, I take it either of these will be good options for different reasons, with no gigantic headaches in the mix.

Hello, I am new to this topic, I am looking for references on Motherboards for a workstation / gamer pc with ryzen 9 5900x, the idea is that I can have many profiles with different oc niverle and change them depending on whether I want to work or want to work.
I was thinking of 4.4ghz oc to work and 4.6ghz oc or more for gaming

Very important
Thunderbolt 3 or 4
Ethernet 2.5g or 10g
minimum 2 nvme

I am from Latin America so my purchase options are limited

I like asus for the thunderbolt 4 (Pcie ThunderboltEx4 card) since it allows me or to compensate the little breastfeeding in the future

 

These are my purchase options in my local market with my budget:

 

Asus:
B550: All compatible with ThunderboltEX4

 

ROG STRIX B550-E GAMING 180usd
Vrm
asp2006 7 + 1 // 7 * 2 (CPU) 70A + 1 * 2 (SOC) 70A /// Mosfet MP869902

 

ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) 170usd
ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING 160usd
Vrm
asp1106 4 + 2 // 4 * 3 (CPU) 50A + 2 (Soc) 50A /// Mosfet Sic 639

 

Gigabyte Compatible Thunderbolt 3
B550 Aorus Pro180usd 175usd

 

I love the ProArt X570-CREATOR WIFI but it is not available in my country and importing it is very expensive 670usd

something similar happens with the ProArt B550-CREATOR 470usd

 

I ask them for advice on which moter they think suits me personally I really like the B550-e but I read in this forum that the Ram oc is bad (what does this mean) my goal in rams is 3600mhz or similar but I am satisfied with something between 3200mhz and 3533mhz I will reach that frequency with the B550-e

the B550-ex has the same Vrm as the x570 Dark hero but which is good for oc but the B550-ex is not at the same level?

 

I am using This table to find the components is quite comfortable https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wmsTYK9Z3-jUX5LGRoFnsZYZiW1pfiDZnKCjaXyzd1o/edit#gid=2112472504

 

If you have to do something to the hardare to improve the performance, I have some experience making waterbocks for Mining Asiscs, Gpus Vrm, Motherboars Vrm, etc, I thought Create a waterblock for the Vrm and assign it an independent 120mm radiator so that the mosfets are always available. below 35º Celsus (95º Fahrenheit) this means that they do not suffer any type of thermal throttling.

 

Do you think that allows me to reach the target frequencies in a stable way?

 

As I said I am from Latam and I do not speak English very fluently yet, please forgive me if there are grammatical errors?

Just get the B550-E, it has all the slots and ports you want and $180 is cheap for what it can do.

 

Dont mind the weak OC thing, if you won't go beyond enabling XMP and leave everything else as is, it wont affect you.

I dont know what CPU you're going after, but Ryzen gains about 5% performance through CPU overclocking which is not worth the necessary effort into getting it working. Just leave the clock speeds at stock settings. 

 

On a side note for the 5950X, it could run into power limit cap before the frequency cap. In this case you might need to raise 2 numbers and that's it.

Thank you very much for your opinion,

I will be buying the B550-e and will comment on my experience for the thread when I finish

 

The cpu is a 5900x

 

I ask about the overclocking of the rams because it happened to me many times that the rams do not work with xmp even though they say they are 3600mhz xmp and you have to do the manual oc to reach that frequency

 

Good quality ram chips that Reach 3600Xmp are not very common in latam

Do you know some good ram modules that are cheap 3600mhz xmp it would be nice to have references of that too

 

My idea was to create profiles to be able to configure different levels of oc and ondervolt depending on the need either Chome (Undervolt 1.05v 3.7ghz), Solidworks (1.2v 4.2ghz), Video edition, (4.5ghz), Gaming (+ 4.7Ghz )

 

For long work tasks that the cpu reaches 4.0ghz or 4.6ghz makes a noticeable difference in time in a simulation of 10 hours at 4.0ghz it can be less than 8 to 4.6ghz
There were times that the pc was 5 days without rest to complete a simulation, in a case like that it saves you about 8 hours

 

I use thunderbolt for a Nas AND for a Quadro Rtx4000 egpu

 

Thank you

If you're going to overclock, just adjusting PBO2 and voltage can get you a setting that gets both efficiency and performance right without the need to switch between profiles. You can figure it out once you got your hands on the system.

Why not just put it inside? There are two PCIe x8 capable slots on this board

[MatiasSchonfel1597]

¿Por qué no simplemente ponerlo dentro? Hay dos ranuras compatibles con PCIe x8 en esta placa

The first port pcie x16 I configure it to x8 and I put a 3090 and in the second port I put a converter pcie x8 to x2 nvme

3 nvme 4.0 + 1 nvme 3.0

Nvme 1 (4.0) Windows / linux dual boot
Nvme 2 and 3 PciE converter (4.0) in raid 0 for games and Software programs
Nvme 4 (3.0) Cache for Work Programs Eg Adobe

A 3090 for PciE x4 3.0 (Thunderbolt) has a bottleneck but a Quadro Rtx 4000 does not and taking into account that when the Quadro is used, the NAS is not used, it does not share the bandwidth

These are the best Ram modules that I can buy in my country:

Then this is it, but dont combine multiple kits if you're looking for reliable XMP

[MachP]

I have an x570 Unify that I got used for ~220 Cad. Amazing board, I love it but it's not really big on the ARR GEE BEE and I hate mystic light. How much of a difference is the x570 Aorus Master version 1.0 board from the 1.1/1.2 newer version in terms of VRM since I do know the .2 one has thunderbolt and better memory capabilities.

Hi guys. I dont have many budget for my first pc. So after reading and searching a lot. My cpu will be the R5 5600G so my question is wich of these mobos are the best?

 

-Asus B450M Pro S

-Msi B450 Tomahawk Max ii

 

or is there another that you can suggest to me that is good and cheap

The following list is based on facts, ranked on power delivery and known problems. The list will include boards that support CPU overclocking available at retail from different brands.

 

There are still differences in performance among boards of the same tier. As a result, those that barely made it into that tier will be in orange while those that are better than others in the same tier are in blue. Unless specified, boards sharing the same name and chipset in different form factors are ranked the same.

All current draw figures are based on Prime95 small FFT with AVX unless otherwise specified, in other words the worst case scenario.

 

Only often recommended sku of CPUs in the same generation and core/thread count configuration is named, others share the same rating.

 

Zen scales down frequency and voltage according to EDC (current limit) and TDC (thermal limit) settings of the motherboard so in theory you won’t cook the VRM of any board at stock, you just lose frequency.

 

For tier A and above, due to lack of feasible CPUs that allow testing of the boards at higher current ratings, there are some level on guessing in terms of how much more power the VRM can take.

So, Gigabyte B450M S2H is good enough for ryzen 5 5600x (stock pbo) ? 

for long time use should I go with expacive motherboard ? I don't need 4ram slot,sata port,4usb port enough,1 16x pcie gen3 enough,i will never overclock  .

so Gigabyte B450M S2H is good enough?

 

 B450 Aorus Pro is better then B450M S2H (VRM) ? both are similar ?
