H110 Pro with BTC and overclocking setup
Which processor do you own? The H110 Pro supports Intel, while the B450 is compatible with AMD.
I reviewed the entire motherboard manual, but didn’t find any mention of XMP. It seems this board doesn’t support overclocking. If you don’t mind, could someone recommend a motherboard that matches my RAM specs? I’m sure asking the seller would help. I’d also appreciate the best advice and some testing results. Thank you!
You're deciding between keeping your Intel processor or moving to AMD. This choice is crucial.
I’ll move to an AMD processor if I can’t overclock the RAM, because my setup is meant for mining, not a general gaming rig. For a board aimed at mining, a good Ryzen around $500–800 should work well. If you want something official, check Asus’s TUF B450 page for CPU support recommendations.
A budget of 500USD covers a TUF Pro (not TUF Plus) paired with an R7 3700x, though prices vary by region depending on your needs. For more demanding AAA games, you might need R5 3600 or an R7 3700x instead. It really depends on what you're planning to use it for.
