What's the best motherboard for RYZEN 7 1800X

[d7omepro]

Hi guys I'm willing to build RYZEN 7 1800x workstation and gaming pc

My question is 

What is the best motherboard for RYZEN 7 1800X. 

 

I don't have problem if it's expensive but it should worth it 

I mean I can buy the one which is most expensive motherboard..  But if I can get same results and benefits with motherboard which cost less or  I can get little less results and benefits with much cheaper price that will be really good 

 

 

Sorry for poor language ?? and poor explainition 

Thanks

asrock taichi x370 good for OC

asrock k4 x370 good for non OC

b350 tomahawk and asus b350 plus decent mobo for value

and how you can see it with number of VRM and port you needed

Why the 1800X ? Go with the R7 1700 and overclock it. I prefer Gigabyte myself so I would pair the 1700 with one of the X370 boards.

X370 Gaming Professional by AsRock is solid. It's the Taichi with some extra cool features.

Hmm I have no Idea about overclocking..  And I'm scared to do it

1st Drop the 1800X its pointless just OC a 1700 yourself (1700 @ 4GHz here). 23% of 1800Xs achieve 4.1GHz that's a lot of money to gamble imo for a 23% chance of 100MHz. You'll be better served directing the saving toward a better GPU or faster RAM or literally any other component.

 

2nd regarding the motherboard: My crosshair vi is great but if I had to recommend another that wasn't mine I'd say the taichi.

 

EDIT: Whats your budget? i'll throw a build together

Ryzen master makes this easy for the novice user  Or alternatively in the BIOS:

 

Edit cpu ratio (for example 36 = 3.6GHZ)

Set voltage to whatever doesn't crash the pc but is below 1.45V

 

That's a basic OC but there is a step by step guide in my signature for a more advanced one.

if you wont go OC and want SLI go for K4 asrock

if you wont OC and only want xfire(or solo gpu) find b350

because x370 is built for OC and sli at most

Do you think if I kept the CPU overclocked for long periods that will not effect any part of the pc

one of some the review about VRM(voltage regulator module) or u can search in wiki for further information

port = usb port,pcie, type of sata, number or sata, audio port, etc

I will need SLI when 3d and video editing software start using dual GPU

No because its all down to voltage. The 1700X and 1800X are just factory overclocked by AMD. Basically they are all 1700s with different stock settings baked in.

 

e.g. stock voltage on the 1700 is 1.18V and its about 1.32V on the 1800X. This is because AMD have stock or factory overclocked it for you.

 

If I set my voltage to 1.32V and changed the frequency then essentially there is no difference aside from branding between my 1700 and the 1800X

 

tldr: if you stay below the manufacturer safe voltage which is 1.45V you are good.

That is a very very expensive motherboard and looking at the feature list I can't see why!

 

Personally I'd get a crosshair but if you want to stick with AsRock get the Taichi.

 

EDIT: This is what I'd do if I were you (unsure why you want the 2nd SSD but left it because you did)

more VRM k4(6+2 from 4+2) pro gaming((4+2)*2)

more port(wifi, cmos, sata3 port)

Where did you find info about VRM?

Do you mind looking for VRM info of B350M arctic motherboard from MSI that I'm interested in?

To be very honest with you and myself 

 

I didn't understand ???

What does VRM means and what is the benefits of it 

After reading the review which u sent I couldn't understand also

see the pict http://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/Fatal1ty X370 Professional Gaming/index.asp

wrong info sory it has 16 phase ((4+2)*2+4)

you can see it from pict

it has 16 box around the cpu bracket

-snip-

it has 16 box around the cpu bracket

So by that logic, B350M artic does have 4+2 ? Wondering if that motherboard can handle Ryzen 1700 at 4,0GHz on all cores ...

by see it, it has (4+2)+1 or just 4+2

you see the rounded near the box? same type(near 2 box got 4 rounded inductors)+(near 4 box got 7 inductors)

thats what i can tell by seeing pict

vrm for headspreading(maybe) and allowing processors with different supply voltage to be mounted on the same motherboard(sure)

as i know
