Intel to AMD transfer.

[partians]

Hello,

I am currently going through the process of upgrading my system after getting a RTX 3060 (former 1070ti) and decided to go from intel to AMD.
(Unless suggestions are within same price range)

 

TLDR; Looking for a compatible motherboard that will suffice with Corsair ICUE 4000X RGB & AMD Ryzen 5 5600X.

Budget is £150 GBP.

 

My current specs;

CPU: intel i7 7700k

GPU: Gigabyte Geforce RTX 3060

MOBO: ASUS Prime Z270-A

 

The motherboard must have the following;

  -  Must support enough headers to suffice with 3x SP120 fan & 1x Corsair LL120 RGB 120mm (integrated iCUE Lighting Node CORE) & 1x Corsair H100i

 -  2x M.2 slots

-  2x SATA connectors.

 -  I/O 5+ USB

 - 2x DDR4 RAM slots.

I have used this board with a 5600X myself & was very satisfied with it. Default PBO settings may be more aggressive than you'll be comfortable with, but undervolting is quite easy with AMD.

This was a shortlisted motherboard I had which is verifying my decision, thanks for the recommendation. Does this have good amount of headers?

I believe it has 6 case fan headers. I was using 4 while I had mine.
