[SOLVED] B550 vs X570?

[woofer300]

Hello! I have a quick question about the difference between B550 and X570 motherboards. Besides price, what are the major differences between the two. Also, I have heard that you cannot overclock CPUs on a B550 motherboard. Is this true? Thank you so much!

The main difference is the amount of USB and SATA ports, due to the X570 having higher PCIe lanes. But if you dont need crazy amount of USBs and SATA ports, you should go with B550, there's really good B550 for less than 180, like the B550 Tomahwak or the Extreme 4.

Good to know, thanks!
