Choose the right Mobo for your Ryzen 5 3600x.
I have a Ryzen 5 3600X processor and four DDR4 CL14 sticks at 3200Mhz, giving me a total of 32GB (Gskill Trident Z RGB). I'm looking for the most value in a budget motherboard. I want something with PCI 4.0 support so I can easily add faster NVMe drives. Do you have a better or similar X570 option that won't cost significantly more than the Asrock Taichi Ultimate X470? Thanks.
It's a nice mobo but quite barebone and cheaper than what I am shooting for (the taichi x470 ultimate) I am sure there is a better one at that price point, even better would be a reference from someone that has actually used the mobo he/she is referring thanks.
I’m looking for good value within a budget of around 230 euros for the pricerange I’m comfortable with. That means I want to keep all the benefits Taichi Ultimate offers, even if not every feature is included. It’s a bit of a balancing act—I understand, but I’d rather discuss this on a forum than just compare on cheaper sites. Would you consider checking PCPartPicker or Geizhals for the cheapest ATX x570 AM4 motherboard?
I’m hoping not, since the cheapest X570 motherboards are really poor quality. I just mentioned the top value for money on an X570 board. It might help to clarify a bit more if you’re looking to start a conversation.
Most people didn’t seem interested in offering help, but just in case someone else faces the same situation later, there are two options close to the Taichi Ultimate X470 price range. One is MSI MPG X570 Gaming Pro Carbon WiFi (7B93-001R), which is more affordable, has a decent but not overly strong VRM, and includes many features plus a solid MSI BIOS. The other is ASUS ROG Strix X570-E, about 80 euros more expensive but offers a solid VRM for overclocking or maintaining high dynamic OC speeds with Ryzen 3, plus stable RAM slots, better audio quality, and some nice design details. Essentially, this is the top choice for an X570 motherboard right now—balancing cost and performance without sacrificing too much on features.
