Hey everyone, I'm just wondering which option makes more sense—opting for the ASRock B550 Pro4 to save money or spending an extra 36€ on the MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK. Not sure if the Tomahawk is worth it at that extra cost. Take care, baeni

It's a good investment, though the amount might seem excessive compared to what you already have. The value depends on your processor and available RAM.

Which processor? The Tomahawk Mag is clearly superior and probably too much power For its purpose. The right choice really hinges on the CPU.

I’d pick the Ryzen 5 3600 instead.

They’ll manage easily. The B450 boards should suffice. The tomahawk max or mortar offer affordable alternatives. For the B550, both choices will function well.

Sure, I’d definitely choose the B450 Tomahawk max. However, it doesn’t come with an aRGB header, which is really important to me.

Sure, just grab the Pro 4—it handles a 6-core setup well.

Yes, there are controllers that support using ARGB hardware with non-ARGB mainboards.

The controller uses argb headers and typically runs on SATA power or similar.
