Help with B450 Motherboard

[ArchLightXXVII]

Hi all,

 

I need help in deciding which B450 motherboard should I go with but not spending too much.

 

I'm previously using ASUS TUF B450 Pro-Gaming but got broken in less than a year. (My PC didn't boot again after several retries)

 

I'm looking for a good alternative and while searching online, got 3 that really caught my attention.

 

My choices are:

 

1. Aorus B450M since it has a lots of ports and got a 3pin RGB header

 

2. MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max since it has LED indicator for errors

 

3. ASRock B450M Steel Legend.

 

Any reviews and comments between the 3? Will not overclock anyway. 

 

Will be using my existing components:

Ryzen 5 2600

Gigabyte 1650super

T-Force Dark Za 3600mhz

 

Replies is highly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm probably lean towards a steel legend one, although the gigabyte one also pretty solid, 

 

The reason is the steel legend has a bigger heatsink for the vrm thus probably cooler operations for the vrm,

 

The aorus has more sata, but the steel legend has more internal usb 2.0 header 

Oh and the steel legend also have rgb and argb headers

I've had really good luck with msi gaming boards and Ryzen CPUs. That's the route I would go 

 

First of all of try to get the board that broke replaced thru the manufacturer

Will eventually get it since it's still under my store's 1 year warranty. But will sell it to a friend, of course, for cheaper price. 

 

I'm thinking now if I should go with full Gigabyte components since my GPU is Gigabyte.

I think the aorus one also has ARGB headers?
