B450 or X470?

[ChiefMaverick]

Hi guys I'm a first time builder building with a Ryzen 5 2600. I am confused between MSI X470 Gaming Plus and the MSI B450 Gaming Plus. I really want the auto overclocking features like precision boost and stuff and I wanted to know what differences these 2 boards have and will they affect the auto overclocking features. I'm really confused, would appreciate some help.

Thanks

Both boards would do, if you won't take advantage of SLI, high RAM and CPU overclocks, then you are fine with a B450.

 

Some good B450 mobos (from what I've read + reviews)

 

- MSI B450 Tomahawk (No Wi-Fi tho)

- MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC

- Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi (VRMs aren't too good)

I heard B450 has precision boost 1 but X470 has precision boost 2. Idk what that means or which is better.

All 400s board series are cappable of handling Ryzen 2000s features.

 

Yes, this means B450 handles Pecision Boost 2
