X470 or B450?

[KingBlue72]

What are the benifits with a x470 comparde to a b450? For this build https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/gX3sMZ and can someone link a price worthy one? RGB and SLI isn't important neither is WIFI

Proper support for SLI and Crossfire is one difference, X470 also has more native USB 3.0 (=3.1 gen1) ports and chipset PCIe lanes. For your system those differences probably don't matter.

okay thanks

Chipset doesn't matter much, Board does.

Thing is that there are low end Boards with both chipsets but the higher end ones always have the X470 one on it...

 

So I'd look at the Boards and not the Chipset for AMD.

If you find overclocking to be more important, it is probably just smart to look at the power delivery for the CPU and memory. For example an Asus RoG Strix X470-F has:

 

	Total number chokes	10
	Primary PWM controller	Digi+ ASP1405I
	CPU - Number mosfets per choke	1
	CPU - Type mosfets	IR3555M
	PWM Controller supported phase	4+2 Phase PWM Controller
	Mosfet Ampère rating	60

 

For a total of 600 Amps of current. But that makes the board expensive, around €224 here at the moment. But if you only have an air cooler and are not planning to get 100% of the performance out of the chip, a cheaper B450 will do just fine.
