ASUS Prime X470-PRO Motherboard Review
|
|
"When it comes to ASUS motherboards you have quite a lot of choices, many users opt for their Republic of Gamers boards, but their Prime line is actually quite good. We’ve used a “Prime” motherboard as our baseline board for processor testing for both Intel and AMD for the past couple of years. These boards might not have all of the flash that the ROG series does, but they are extremely reliable and are still packed with features. For the Ryzen refresh the main “Prime” board from ASUS is their Prime X470-PRO. This board features a slick design with silver heatsinks and an integrated M.2 cooler as well. You also have support for DDR4 3466 MHz memory, USB 3.1, dual M.2 slots, and even some RGB lighting. Is this the board you need for your Ryzen build? Read on as we find out!"

Top 5 AMD B450 Motherboards
|
|
With the first AMD B450 motherboards just popping up, truth be told, there aren't that many good ones to choose from, certainly not nearly as many as we'd like and not as many as there could be. Asus and Gigabyte options are somewhat disappointing so far, Asrock has done a decent job, but it's MSI who really turned things around. We hope these picks will help narrow down your search for the perfect B450 motherboard.

MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC
|
|
"There are only minor differences between the AMD X470 and B450 chipsets used on the new MSI B450 motherboards; you get two fewer Gen2.0 PCI-E Lanes, four fewer SATA ports and no SLI support. You still get Cross Fire support but only 2way, the same as the B350 chipset. What you gain is the StoreMI and Precision Boost Overdrive, so you can use the free StoreMI program with an inexpensive 2TB HDD and 256GB SSD drive to gain enhanced storage capacity and speed."

ASRock Fatal1ty X470 Gaming-ITX/ac Motherboard Review
|
|
The mini-ITX motherboard market was long dominated by Intel due to the company’s indisputable advantage in CPU power efficiency, an essential characteristic for small form factors. That was until AMD introduced its game-changing Zen CPU architecture in early 2017 and now, with Zen in the second generation, AMD mini-ITX solutions are as competitive as ever. ASRock is the ideal motherboard manufacturer to capitalise on this recent trend with its new Fatal1ty X470 Gaming-ITX/ac, having established itself as a pioneer of mini-ITX solutions.

ASRock has applied the Fatal1ty treatment to AMD's B450 chipset, and in a way that only ASRock can; using the Mini-ITX format. It's not often that we get such a truly gaming-oriented mITX product, that can also handle some overclocking, and supports 3466 MHz memory speeds.

Biostar B360GT3S Motherboard Review
|
|
"When Intel released their 8th generation "Coffee Lake" processors back in October 2017 they were released alongside the enthusiast-class Z370 chipset. That was the only chipset you could use with these new processors at the time. Now you have the option of H370, B360, and H310. The B360 chipset differs from H370 in a few different ways, first you only have support for a single x16 PCI-E slot, only 12 PCI-E lanes (compared to 24), fewer USB ports, and there is no CPU or memory overclocking. Today we will be checking out a B360 board from Biostar. This is actually our first look at a B360 board, but also our first look at a board from Biostar. The Biostar B360GT3S motherboard is part of Biostar's Racing line, which is a gaming line within their product stack. Let's take a look and see if there is a lower-cost alternative to getting a Z370 motherboard."
