Hey, 

So I'm building a gaming + streaming pc. I'd like to dabble with ocing. I'm going to go to with ryzen 2700x. Here is my build so far.

I'm having a difficult deciding what motherboard to go with. Here my  3 points I am looking for: 

1) Good brand, reputable support with quality
2) Good bios support / memory support for over all overclocking 
3) Bluetooth support (I can throw wifi support in here) 

 


Out of the x470 these are my two options (feel free to suggest a different one if something margnially better) 

 

The Taichi board, I've heard alot of great things build, and its ocing ability being fairly good. But downside is the poor layout of bios and lesser options than Asus. 

ASRock X470 Taichi AM4 AMD

Asus Rog, I believe is build great, and has amazing bios for overclocking and is top 3 MOBO manufacture. As well has a back up bios. The asus just seems friendlier when it comes to OCing and it looks some what nicer.  

ASUS ROG Strix X470-F Gaming

Questons regards to x470: 

Better at:

CPU

Memory Overclocking 

Better onboard Sound?

Better onboard network card? 

 

ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING

I heard the b450s are great and offer the same thing as the x470 except no SLI support. I don't intend to SLI, so should just go with b450 board and save the  money? I do need Bluetooth support for least two xbox/ps4 controller, so id have to get PCIE or USB solution to tag along with the b450.  Here is the board I picked.Feel free recommend me another one if there is a better option.

Going to bump this, I'm also considering the ASUS ROG Crosshair VII Hero because it should be future proof and have the best bios support? Idk if the taichi will have great bios support the ryzen 7 3xxx? https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813119098&cm_re=x470_asus-_-13-119-098-_-Product

 

Also turns out the taichi and the Asus strix onboard sounds fairly closely matched.  Any feedback would go long ways in figuring out which chipset ill end up with. 

 

Thanks
