I discovered an excellent offer on this board, matching the price of the asrock b450 pro4. The VRM tier list lists it at 75A—though I’m not sure what that number means. I really like its look and can’t find a pro version anywhere. I’m running a Ryzen 5 3600 with an RTX 2070, and I’ve got it for free.
The Pro 4 performs better. Unclear why Asus struggled with the B450 boards; their B550 and X570 models looked solid.
For 3600 it's okay. But since you're upgrading in 4 to 5 years, you'll switch the motherboard then. I'd really skip the TUF.
Affordable decent budget board available. Flashback feature might be tricky, especially no flashback button. I’d pick the B450 Tomahawk Max instead—it performs better. The decision really comes down to price versus performance versus other models.
