Motherboard for Pentium G4560

[TraskJ]

I'm trying to find an mATX motherboard that will support a 7th gen Pentium straight out of the box without a BIOS update, because I don't have a Skylake chip lying around to run a BIOS update with. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks.

Any mATX B250 should be fine.

Z270 Chipset or B250M Chipset is your target

[genexis_x]

Any B250 mobo
Or new stock of H110 mobo (not reliable)

Thanks! I know it's probably a super obvious answer, but I'm pretty new to computer builds.

Aaand it has worse gaming perfomance than Intel.

Papa Intel will fuck amd with i9

[domandric034]

And Intel Optane module is far useful than you think. Especially 32 GB model

But minimum FPS (or 0.1%, 1% whatever you call it) is better, means stabler FPS in gaming
Also more cores/threads means more future proof, FUTURE PROOF IS REAL

I know but also Intel has Hyper Threading. And also from benchmarks which Linus did Kaby Lake vs Ryzen

Clearly shows that Kaby Lake is performing better in daily tasks rather than Ryzen which is more pointed at video editing, streaming, audio editing, photoshop..

Where do you think Ryzen got its 8 extra threads.

 

You'll struggle to tell the difference in "daily tasks" between an i7 and a Pentium 

 

Yes Ryzen is excellent at those things, much better than the i7, and it will do everything else the same
