Need motherboard suggestions

[Bayron]

So I need some motherboard suggestions for little future proofnes, my current b450 board has served me 3+ years(allmost 4) and I what's some upgrade. 

 

My needs:

*Amd board, cuz my cpu is r5 3600(not planning to upgrade soon) 

*I think nothing more than b550 chipset(but if the budget allows(see below) it can be better) 

*preferably(but other options are very welcome) Asrock board (my last 10 years have used asrock boards) 

* has argb/water pump connector 1 or more 

*has atleast 6 usb type-a ports on back

*midrange price point(90-120€ would be very good) 

*pci-express 4 port 

 

 

DON'T REALLY NEED!!! 

*Wi-Fi (have wired connection) 

 

My components:

Case - Kolink Citadel Mesh mATX

CPU - ryzen 5 3600 

GPU - sapphire radeon rx6700non

xt 

Ram - 32 gb kingston fury ddr4(yes I know ddr4) 

Psu - Be quite System power 9 600w semi modular 

Cooling - 5 Aigo rgb fans whit controller(will change them after motherboard upgrade) 

 

Tnx for help

Does not exist. Use your current board until it breaks or is not useable any more, for example if you upgrade to a new CPU that it is not compatible with (which would mean AM5, because all B450 boards are compatible with Ryzen 5000, AFAIK).

Spend your money on things you can use for longer, like a solid air cooler or some quality fans.

Has it died or do you need some feature it's not giving you? A motherboard upgrade in this case makes very little sense here. Put that money towards some games, a GPU upgrade, or just wait until you want to upgrade the CPU platform and buy a new board then. 

 

Besides, most of the half-decent AM4 boards are out of production at this point, or are pretty expensive for what they offer. You'd have to spend a lot more, and for something that will give no impact to the system use, it just makes no sense.

Well. My b450 is from the cheap side, asrock b450m hdv r4, have nothing special about it, so that's why I wanna get something newer and better

Yeah, it's not a great board, but at the same time it'll still do just for for a 3600 so why bother swapping it out? If you don't need the extra features, you won't get any benefit from them. 

 

Again, just put that money towards future upgrades and/or games.

Yeah, I'm just scared, cuz 2 days ago my m.2 ssd just stopped working, and idk if it was from board or what, cuz pc had frequent rondom restarts etc m. 2 was not even 2 years old

If it makes you feel better, if it was killed by something in the system, it would likely be the PSU and that would've killed more than just the SSD. The motherboard's M.2 slot can die on occasion, that part isn't unheard of, but an M.2 slot killing an SSD is incredibly rare.

 

Random restarts are an issue. My first thought for this though is usually RAM, PSU, or bad CPU overclock, not motherboard, but a bad motherboard can be cause. I'd run memory stress tests to start testing this.

Well idk what happened, pc just restarted and started to show there is no Bootable drive(m.2 had my win 12 install), checked bios, cuz this thing was happening about a half an year already( the fix for it was just to unplug pc from wall, wait 1min and then it booted again) when I bought new gpu, switched from Nvidia to amd, but this time fast fix didn't work so idk what's caused it, psu is new, bought one for gpu, my old one was only 400w.
