Today I bought a resell PC, and realized it had a very nice b550 board, It's the Asus strix b550-f board, I currently have a low end x570.. Gigabyte X570 Gaming X mobo. And am considering taking the b550, and putting the x570 in the other PC to resell. Main reason is because x570 is overkill for me, its a lower end board compared to a high end b550, and power delivery is supposedly better, and the crazy amount of USB's which is also nice to have. Also alot more fan headers which I need, currently using splitters.

Also curious will it support 2 gpus? not SLI. ex 3070+2060

Any tips/recommendations are helpful!

Never ever use two GPUs that are not the same in a build together. If you don't plan on overclocking then the B550 would probably be your better choice.

How come? My friend currently uses a 2060 and 1060 together. Also, For overclocking, would you just mean CPU overclocking or GPU overclocking. I tend to only overclock GPU

CPU OC.

Well it does work with some tweaks but brings some major issues with it, especially if you use cards from different generations. Just go for a higher tier single GPU instead of somewhat making 2 GPUs work.

Alright, well it seems I'll definitely switch to the b550 for the premium features and since I'm not overclocking CPU. However I'm curious about the 2 gpu thing. Because my friend bought a 1060 to pair with his 2060 for mining. Literally shoved it in there, started mining and he was good. However I'm not having the same results with my x570
