Mobo recommended for r5 3600

[L3xarpy]

I have found some (i think) decent motherboard : b450 aorus pro, b450-f gaming ii, b450 steel legend and b450 tomahawk.

The only overclock im planing to do is overclocking the ram and the mobo will be use with a ryzen 5 3600.

There is no b550 because the majority are 200$ and more.

You can also recommend me another mobo but i just want it to be "good looking".

Thank

the new asus tuf pro S is also a great option, even better power phase

 

but all these have good enough vrm temp, nothing worth comparing oc with 3600

 

which brand bios do you prefer?

I can comment on the B450 Steel Legend as I happen to own that board. It's definitely a nice board, and it should do fine with a Ryzen 5 3600. I'm running a Ryzen 7 2700 in mine with no issues at all. It's very stable, and it has some RGB features if you're into that.

one of the best b450 in terms of look

The b550 tuf or b450 tuf are good options.

It sure is. I'm not much of a fan of RGB everywhere, so I usually have everything (motherboard, CPU fan and case fans) set to a static color or off, but even then it still looks good.

Hey sorry to not have responded you before i had school and homework

I dont really need but if that the same price and i lose nothing

[L3xarpy]

At some point sometimes i feel like intel is better, i can find like a good mobo for 150 and a cpu for 188 and for amd the 3600 is 260 and pretty  much all good mobo are 200 plus.

I really hope that amd cpu and am4 motherboard price gonna go down

asus is know to be costly

the carbon wifi ac is just an avg mobo glued with wifi, nothing special

Yeah but in Canada rn the tuf b450-plus is the same price as the b450-f gaming 2 so i think im saving more by taking it

forget the old tuf model, focus on new tuf PRO S, the b450 released after b550 launch
