Hey everyone, after testing for a while I’ve gone ahead and certified my MMO as dead. It’s been a bit frustrating timing it right before Christmas. Looking for recommendations on a mid-to-high range B450 board. Needs to be a 400 series chipset since I’m running a Ryzen 5 1600. Right now I’m thinking about the Gigabyte Aorus B450 Elite—any feedback or insights would be great. Thanks!

It's a sturdy piece of furniture. Prices have dropped significantly, offering great value. Consider your requirements and pick out the essentials. Also, verify stock levels—B450 models are nearing the end of their lifespan, so availability may be limited.

Thanks for the replies. Liking the look of the aorus b440 Pro now too, apparently better audio and some upgraded features. Slightly concerned at users reporting their 3200mhz memory kits not fully stretching their legs and getting stuck around 2600. The ram I have and that those users had isn't on the QVL but not getting new RAM too!

Looking for alternatives under £100? Need to shop soon due to limited stock at Novatech. Also, consider the complete audio jack setup for 5.1 speakers. Appreciate your help!

B450m steel legend or Asrock B450m Pro4 – solid budget option.
