I don't file a lawsuit against Intel's motherboard. Others might be able to assist you.
Someone mentioned that Aorus fits the black or white theme perfectly, while the other option aligns more with Steel Legend.
The story remains valuable regardless of the available memory.
I tend to favor a motherboard with two RAM slots for overclocking, but consider this: "Can you ever afford 128GB of RAM for this mid-range build?" I suspect not. Moreover, having four slots doesn’t guarantee a quad-channel setup since your CPU’s memory channels limit performance—both Zen and Intel models in the original discussion have just two channels. This means only one slot can fully utilize its channel count. It can be a drawback during overclocking when all slots are busy. Still, it depends on your priorities and upgrade strategy. If you opt for a 32GB plan by combining two 16GB sticks later, an Aorus board would likely perform better.
It really varies by market. Generally, the Ryzen 5000 lineup offers a superior memory controller, making it compatible with high-speed CL16 configurations. I prefer products from Gskill, Geil, Team, and Crucial.
