[SOLVED] b450 or x370?

[genrex]

I am looking to get a new mobo for the upcoming ryzen 3600. was wondering what would be better

MSI B450 Tomahawk or Asus Prime X370-pro

Are there any particular features that are better on one board compared to the other?
Also any suggestions are welcome

Thanks

are the x370 chipsets upgrade-able to Ryzen 3000? if it does.. you are fine with it, as long as it has more feature than the B450s and the price is worth it.. you can observe what are u needs on their official websites, oftenly the X series chipsets are rich of features and more reliable

The word is b450. X470 and the 500series for 3000 cpus

Both should work after a bios update.

The issue is if you choose Asus X370 Prime you must have a CPU of first Zen 1000 or A series to be able to upgrade the BIOS. But on the MSI B450 Tomahawk the motherboard got BIOS flash back feature which enables you to upgrade the bios without requiring to install CPU.
