Compare Strix B560-I and MSI B560I EDGE models to see their differences.
I’d likely choose the Strix board because I prefer ASUS’s BIOS over MSI’s. Both boards should work for most needs, so just pick the one that’s more affordable or appeals to your style.
Key distinctions lie in the USB C versions. The Asus model features an internal USB C header supporting 10 Gb/s, a Thunderbolt 20 Gb/s USB-C port, plus an extra USB-C audio output on the I/O Shield, along with enhanced onboard sound chips. MSI offers only 5 Gb/s via the internal header and a standard 10 Gb/s USB-C port on the I/O Shield. The Strix appears to be a strong contender, though its large I/O panel makes it less appealing.

I see, that's really interesting. If I continue with this build, I'm gonna use the NH-U9S chromax anyways. I kinda dig the Strix though but will still wait for further replies. Thank you
