[SOLVED] Asus Prime B560M-A or Gigabyte B560M DS3H V2

[leinad80]

I want to know which of these boards would you choose?
I have the option of having only one of these two motherboards.
What do you recommend ?

I would choose the Asus board, as it has heatsinks for the VRM's.

 

[leinad80]

it looks like the asus board doesn't have a heatsink on the integrated graphics VRM circuit.
would that be the problem?

 

[logainofhades]

The problem is the gigabyte board lacks VRM for the CPU, which is going to be more power hungry, than Intel's IGP. Those VRM's are more likely to thermal throttle, limiting turbo clocks.

so I will choose asus

for start, i will use a sapphire video card ati R7-240 2gb / ddr3,
I know this video card doesn't have uefi, will I be able to open the pc with the asus motherboard?

 

[logainofhades]

I would think said card would still work.
