Hello everyone, I plan to purchase a new Mobo by the weekend and would appreciate your opinion. I intend to buy an AMD 3600 without any overclocking plans. Between the options I'm looking at are the B450 AORUS PRO (rev. 1.0) and the B450 TOMAHAWK MAX. My creative soundblaster Rx is important to me, but since the Aorus model offers solid audio, I might consider selling my dedicated sound card instead. Thanks!

The ALC1220 on the Aorus Pro is just a typical audio option for most premium systems—not something to highlight. You’ll likely do better with a dedicated sound card. The Aorus Pro also has very few USB ports in the rear I/O (just four, while A320 boards usually provide more).
