Question Best motherboard for Ryzen 5 2600 and 3200mhz ram

[Swistaku]

Hey!

I've found a lot of topics like "what's the best ram for Ryzen 5 2600 and my mobo" but wasn't able to find topic about best motherboard for Ryzen 5 2600 and 3200 MHz ram.

I was looking at b450 and x470 motherboards in budget up to 200$. All tips are welcome.

My Ram is

Crucial Ballistix DDR4 Sport LT 16GB/3200	SABLX4G16SBSB2W

MSI B450 Tomahawk is considered one of the better ones, and would be perfect for a 2600. You do not need an X470

Hey keith, thanks for the answer. Do you know how MAX version compares to the vanilla one? Is it worse in any regards? It is cheaper here in Poland for some reason

Well, the max version is the the Same mobo, but with the newest bios to support Ryzen 3rd gen CPU's. So if it's cheaper, then it's as good to go for it as the vanilla.
It also has a larger bios, capable of supporting further generations, if the socket remains the same. As the micro code and updates have grown in number, so has the size of the bios required.

The Max also has higher supported mem speeds out of the box with XMP than the vanilla one too.

Pretty much the same otherwise.

The Tomahawk Max is a good choice.
I can also recommend an Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming.
I bought mine in November 2018 and had a Ryzen 5 2600 OC'd to 4 GHZ with 3200 MHZ G.Skill TridentZ RAM until about a week ago when I upgraded to a Ryzen 7 3700x.
I have had no problems with this MB and am still Very Happy with it.
