Posted December 15, 2020 Hi all, After a good few hours testing I have decided to certify my mobo as dead. Very annoying and terrible timing just before Xmas. I need advise on a mid/high end b450 board please. Has to be 400 series as I am running a Ryzen 5 1600. At the moment thinking of the gigabyte aorus b450 elite, any experiences with that board would be good to know. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way cheaper now than it was before, making it pretty good value for money. I'd look at the features you need and decide on those. Also check availability, B450 is end of life so supplies won't last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 15, 2020 Author Thanks for the replies. Liking the look of the aorus b440 Pro now too, apparently better audio and some upgraded features. Slightly concerned at users reporting their 3200mhz memory kits not fully stretching their legs and getting stuck around 2600. The ram I have and that those users had isn't on the QVL but not getting new RAM too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 15, 2020 Author Any other suggestions around £100 tops would be appreciated, I need to go buy from a shop (novatech.co.uk) tomorrow so limited in choice by their stock level. Only other must is full set of audio jack ports for 5.1 speakers. Thanks again all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
