Hi,

 

The second gigabyte board i have ever owed has developed a fault like the 1st with the PCH Fan so I am moving back to ASUS.

 

I have narrowed it down to 

TUF GAMING X570-PRO (WI-FI)

https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/TUF-Gaming/TUF-GAMING-X570-PRO-WI-FI/

 

or

 

PRIME X570-PRO

https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/PRIME/PRIME-X570-PRO/

 

notes: i have a WI-FI card so not fussed about the inbuilt wireless 

Power delivery looks to be the same imo which is what I'm most worried about. looking for longevity in this Mobo will need to last 3-5 years before next platform switch. 

 

which one would you choose?

 

rest of my rig

I don't have time now to compare all the specs, but if memory serves these boards are functionally identical and just look different. The same is true of the Prime X570-P and TUF X570 Plus. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

The prime is good for a white build but to save money I'd personally go with the TUF cause it's one of the best X570 boards, especially for the price.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I would probably buy a B550 board before I went with any X570 board at this level, these entry-level X570's only had a niche in the period when you had to have X570 to get PCIe 4.0.

looked at the ProArt B550-CREATOR https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/ProArt/ProArt-B550-CREATOR/ not enough SATA ports unfortunately
