How badly is my B550 mobo hampering my 5950x?

[SuBw00FeR]

Had this combo for a while now, don't really have any issues (although I get random stutters every now and then, not sure if this is because of it) just wondering if it's worth upgrading the motherboard to an x570/s.  I use 2 m.2's and a sata SSD currently, but will eventually use all 3 m.2 slots instead as I understand this would be the main reason to upgrade since the m.2's would use the chipset instead correct?

Don't think its the mobo's fault. Do you have an oc on the cpu? And what res are you playing at?

even with an x570 you won't see that big of a jump in loading times and read speeds so I would keep the aorus master as its a pretty good b550

Ye even with an x570 you won't see a big difference. I would recommend updating your bios tho and updating your graphics drivers

bios and drivers all up to date it's not too frequent so it doesn't bother me that much, just tthought id mention it

An X motherboard is usually used if you want more overclocking options and next gen pcie slots. If you don't plan on overclocking there's really no point in upgrading.

Usually you upgrade your motherboard when changing cpu as well.
