Hey there! Your 5950X is running on a X370 board, and you're thinking about moving to PCIe 4 with improved memory options for future upgrades like 64 or 128GB RAM. Need some guidance on what to look for?
Even though I own an X570 board, the first thing to think about is whether you truly require it. Many users can function perfectly well with a B550 board.
You're looking for a board with PCIe Gen 4 support across the entire system, but the B550 chipset doesn't meet that requirement.
It refers to the overall board capacity. X570 supports more Gen 4 lanes, allowing dual NVMe drives versus just one on the B550.
Only my X570 Crosshair VIII Hero experience comes to mind, as I've faced no problems since AMD fixed the initial issues. I've been using it for three years now.
B550 handles this task. A few B550 configurations exist, yet it's entirely achievable. The top example I recall is the B550 Taichi, which is a strong board and more affordable than many similar X570 models.
It seems like you're joking about your PC screen facing a wall. Let me know if you need help with anything else!
They offer a strong selection of boards. It seems they consistently deliver the best performance in board quality among the major manufacturers, with their lower-end models being quite poor and their top-tier boards exceptional. Their AMD chips from around the B450 range have been notably dependable. My X570 Taichi was also quite reliable when I owned it.
