X370 Question

[Slaxc]

I’m building a 1700 build and it turns out the b350 MOBO I was goin to get is coming Wednesday instead of today so I’m going to change to x370. I’m debating between two, the Gigabye K-5 and the  MSI Pro Carbon (both x370) which one should I get?

[just_dave]

Both are garbage.

Get Asus X370-F Strix that i have and it is 100% great.

It comes in within 1-2 weeks, I need to get it today. How are they garbage?

I liked my K7 before it bricked itself. k5 is essentially the same? I have heard MSI's ryzen VRM's are less than ideal, but it hasnt seemed to limit anyone I've seen use an MSI mobo.. Asus has some decent entry x370 options?

Get the Gigabyte if you really need to chose, both aren't good indeed due to VRMS and BIOS issues but the MSi is still noticeable worse.

In this case MSI is better but only marginally

Their VRMs suck.

They suck for R7 and future.

MSI has BIOS issues

the Gaming-5 and Gaming-k7 had the same VRM layout.. weird that GB wouldn't opt for a third time go with their k5..?

 

[Slaxc]

Do y’all have any other suggestions? My budget is around 160$. I need to order ASAP

K5 is much worse, the VRMs on Gaming 5 and K7 are good, but K5 is trash.

I have an MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon and I could say... Eh, it's alright.. But that is not something you want for the price.

My CL16 memory 3200Mhz can only run on 2933Mhz and even still is somewhat instable. haven't done any overclocking though, so can't comment on the VRMs.

 

The way you do a BIOS reset is just ridiculous, you have to hold a screwdriver on two pins in the middle of the board.. Not something you expect from a 160 euro motherboard.

Do you have any other recommendations?

The MSI KRAIT GAMING is also an option, not too sure if it’s good

I have a question, would a x370 gigabyte k-5 be better than an Asus STRIX b350?

Nah.

Both are pretty bad choices for R7

The k-5 is pretty much my only option. Do you think it’ll be fine? I would hate to delay my build even more. If it’s completely garbage I won’t get it but if it’s decently good and can overclock I’ll get it.

as you know ryzen cpu until 1800x only need 6 pin cpu power and minimum 6+2 for all cpu ryzen (include 1800x)

so you want luxurious vrm, it wont change so much

better find the ram compatibility on mobo coz not all mobo can handle 3000mhz++ @ stable state

All come in Monday besides the pro carbon and gigabyte 5, I’m leaning towards the gigabyte 5. What do you think?
