What’s the best motherboard to buy?
I’m planning to construct a dedicated gaming and streaming computer, with no intention of pushing its performance beyond standard settings.
Motherboard: Asrock Steel Legend B450
Processor: Ryzen 7 3700x
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Super Gaming OC 8G
Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 8x2 3200MHz
Storage: Corsair Force MP510 480GB M.2
Power Supply Unit: Antec High Current Gamer Gold 650W
Case: Antec NX600
I was initially considering the MSI B450 Tomahawk Max, but its lack of ARGB lighting headers prevented me from using it. I chose the Asrock B450 instead, primarily due to its price and extensive ARGB capabilities. I’m also hesitant about the Asrock VRM cooling performance, planning to install an aftermarket liquid cooler after a month of ownership. I’m worried about potential overheating issues with the B450 chipset and am reluctant to invest further in a new case, though I’ll supplement the Antec NX600 with additional ARGB fans to enhance aesthetics.
Could this motherboard cause significant temperature problems? I'm seeking feedback on this build from users in Bangladesh.
The MSI B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard features two RGB 12V connectors for cooling fans and LED lighting strips.
The Max is likely the sole motherboard capable of operating with 3000 series graphics cards without any additional modifications.
