I upgraded my build NITRO+ with an RX 5700 XT, 8GB GDDR6, AMD Ryzen 7 2700X to 3700X later. The final options are: Aorus X570 Pro, Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus, and Asus Prime X570 Pro. All three offer the same price.
Everyone seems quite similar regarding VRM cooling and general build quality. Just pick the model that fits your preferences, I tend to favor Asus boards, so I’d go for the TUF Gaming Plus. The Aorus Pro is also a solid option.
I really like the x570 Aorus Pro, but I’m curious about using it with a Logitech Z906. Is that a good choice? The Asus TUF X570 and Asus Prime Pro X570 both say the two MOSBs work together with the Z906. I don’t mind the colors of the TUF or Prime Pro, but I’m worried about dust and dirt getting in, especially if my GPU is powerful. Do I need to open the case for airflow? This means more dust and potential damage if I’m not careful. Who would be responsible for handling that?
The Logitech z906 works with any current motherboard, just plug it into a 3.5mm jack. Most boards come with their own audio cards, which is the main point here. The motherboard includes an IO shield to protect against dust. All X570 models have a fan for the PCIe Gen 4 chipset, and a GPU should handle it—perfect.
Your friend, you're considering whether to go with a Prime Pro or TUF motherboard. For your Ryzen 7 2700X and 3200MHz RAM setup, it's important to check compatibility. The 3200MHz is supported by the CPU, but ensure your chosen board supports DDR4-3200. You mentioned wanting to keep your existing 3700X and add two extra 8GB modules—this means you'll need a motherboard that can handle multiple slots and sufficient power delivery. Based on recent user benchmarks, popular options include Asus PRIME X470-PRO, ROG Strix X470-F GAMING, ROG Strix B450-F GAMING, Gigabyte X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING, MSI X470 GAMING PLUS, and Asus ROG Crosshair VII HERO. Make sure to verify the exact RAM specifications and PCIe slots your board offers before purchasing. Thanks for your help!
