[SOLVED] Best b450 motherboard for 2400g

[tulligandharv]

I want to build a 2400g build but I don't know which b450 motherboard will fit the best for it

Best is a personal choice. Based on the case (ATX vs mATX), preference for RGB lighting, cooling choices, color preferences, cost. There is no "best" board. Do you have a list of 3 or 4 that you are trying to choose between?

Not gonna repeat kanewolf's post content as it is certainly spot-on. But if I had one thing to look for in a board to hold a 2400g processor it is an SOC VRM with a heatsink and at least 3 proper phases. That, of course, assumes I plan on using the iGPU and possess a penchant for overclocking to boot.

Personally, I would only get a budget B450 board for the 2400g. While the VRM heat sink and 3 phases are important, once you spend past a certain point it would be cheaper to pair a 2200g with a discrete GPU that will easily out perform the 2400g in gaming. If you do that, the phases and VRM heatsink dont matter as much.

if memory serves me right, asrock pro4 b450 has 3 phase vrm.

x2 on feelinfroggy777's comments, high end board doesn't care too much about APUs. because it's expected for the user to run dedicated GPUs.

One other consideration, that I didn't think of is the type of video output ports a board has. Since you are using the integrated GPU you need to find a board that is easy to connect to any existing monitors. So if you NEED DVI then that is a must have criteria.
