Question Best budget conscious AM4 board for Ryzen 3000 series

[Draken21]

Need some help/suggestions.

I need to upgrade 2 desktops. I am planning buying 4 memory modules (2 for each - any suggestion welcomed), two Ryzen 3600 CPUs and two motherboards. The rest will be moved from the old desktops.

Ideally for the motherboards I wouldnt like to spend more than 100€ each but it would be good to support the following:

• Flashing to support Ryzen 3600 without the need for a CPU (just to play it safe)
• Support for PCIe 4.0 (after flashing the BIOS - Gigabyte already has done it with older boards I believe)
• 4 memory slots
• 6 SATA slots
• 2 M.2 slots (nice to have)

I will not be overclocking but a good quality board is always preferable.

Any suggestion as to which motherboard I should go for?

I will run HWinfo while running the Aida64 stress test and see what it reports for comparison.
I'll post the results after I do that.
I'm curious to see how they compare as well.

And Argus Monitor showed a Max of 118.2W for this run but the graph shows it was averaging around 103-108W with only 1 spike to 118W.
