White motherboard?

[kylemarshmallow]

I offered to build a gaming pc for my friend and she wants it to be all white, I am either using an i5-12400 or an i7-11700K. Is there any motherboard thats white for either LGA 1700 or LGA 1200 for around 150 dollars? I personally hate white pc components but she already bought a white case.

There aren't that many white motherboard for lga 1200 and 1700 sockets, but I'll list a few. They are kind of pricey though.

Why these CPUs in particular? Also you shouldn't look for LGA 1151, that was 9th gen. 

 

Any reason not to consider Ryzen? I can think of a few white motherboards for AM4, if you're shopping in the US

Oh! Thanks for pointing that out. I meant LGA 1700. For some reason I was thinking of my cpu which is an 8700K

wow i just checked almost none "white" motherboards have a white pcb, and are actually "black and white" therfore. 

 

 

Found this tho... b360, so probably not useful,  but damn do white pcbs look good! 

 

 

still too much black imo, but i guess one could paint those connectors etc pretty easily...

The closest I can find for a white LGA 1700 board is the MSI B660M Mortar WiFi, which has white/silver for a lot of the board elements, but has a black PCB:

 

For LGA 1200, there is of course the NXZT N7 Z590 available in white, although it just has white covers over another black PCB:
