There's quite a discrepancy in price between these boards, so you can't really put them head to head. If you were to, then yeah sure you could say the Creation's the best choice here, but unless you need 12 rear USB ports or the other things it features that are really unnecessary for 99% of people, it's kind of a waste of money. Or you could say the Hero's the best but unless you're LN2 overclocking it's not like you're going to use even close to all of its overclocking oriented features. Here's what I'd have to say (and probably said in your previous post too): don't spend this much on a motherboard. I'm not saying go buy a $80 motherboard (I like quite feature rich boards myself too so I get it), but with X570 (or B550) you can get both everything you need and don't need for $250-300 max, you really don't need to spend more to have a great motherboard. It's not like a $450 board will magically boost your performance or anything. My advice would be getting an X570 Tomahawk or Unify and instead of going with a random 4x8GB 3600 CL16 memory kit, get a nice B-die 2x16GB kit. Generally the cheapest way to get B-die is to look for a kit rated for 3200 14-14-14-34. You should easily be able to overclock that to 3600MHz CL14 with just a small voltage bump, with a 3900X and either of these boards. The reason why I'd suggest getting 2x16 over 4x8 is that most X570 boards afaik are using daisy-chain memory topology, so you're more likely to get better results on two sticks rather than four. Ultimately that'll give you a bigger boost in performance than any of the boards you put in your original post would.
Choosing 4x8 instead of 2x16 is tough for overclocking, though most other options perform similarly for that purpose. Memory overclocking isn’t the priority here, and these boards have plenty of PCIe slots for capture cards if needed. Honestly, unless you have a specific reason, you probably don’t need these top-tier models. Alternatives like the Asus X570 TUF, Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro, or MSI X570 Tomahawk should cover your needs.
I need to know your preferences before I can recommend a specific model. Which one were you thinking about?
I think the X570 Pro or similar models will deliver identical performance across all aspects, including gaming and streaming.
It varies by cost. Tomahawk appears to offer the most value on paper, though prices may change. TUF stands out compared to the Aorus Pro; unless the Aorus Pro is significantly cheaper, avoid it. Available options include Asus Prime X570 Pro, Asus Pro WS X570 Ace, Asrock X570 Pro4, Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro, and MSI X570 Gaming Pro Carbon.
I meant to talk about the Aorus Pro. So essentially, you're suggesting the top choice is either the TUF or the Tomahawk—though I don’t mind which one is more affordable, I’ll go with whatever sounds best!
I personally have had the MEG ACE since launch. Its been a great board and I have no complaints but I also will freely admit I didnt need it
