Go to solution Solved by boggy77,

the formula is specifically made for custom water cooling. doesn't really make sense to use it with an aicooled build.

there's also no point in spending more than $200 on a motherboard if it has all the features you need.

a b550 or x570 tomahawk or strix-f for example are excellent boards.

Budget (including currency): $750

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Programming/work/gaming

Other details The budget is of course specifically for the mobo, all other parts I already have. Recently found out the mobo I planned to use in my build was busted during shipping and they won't accept an RMA. Bright side is I have an excuse for a new mobo. The last one was an MSI Meg X570 Unify. I'm thinking of getting the Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Formula ATX AM4 Motherboard. Is there any better suggestions? These are my parts.

What do you want from it specifically and which is the most important? Cuz the formula has too little upgrade over the hero to justify its price.
