Question Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro versus MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX II ?

[kaushal722]

I'm confused choosing between Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro vs MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX II

I'm paring the MOBO with following components,

PSU: Corsair CV550 SMPS - 550 Watt 80 Plus Bronze Certification PSU With Active PFC

CPU: AMD RYZEN 5 3400G

RAM: Corsair Vengeance lpx 2x8gb ddr4 3200mhz = 16GB

I will be upgrading to 5000 series in future and possibilities of overclocking too.

Hi....
Well If it's for overclocking I personally, wouldn't go lower than MSI B550 a-pro
Buut.... since your CPU is not supported .... B450 Aorus Pro....

B550 board doesn't support 3400g

Which cpu from 5xxx do you plan on buying in the future?

 

[kaushal722]

Once the GPU prices are stable, i am planning to get a GPU and later get a 5xxx series for more cores.

Aorus pro's got less vram and support memory upto 3600mhz(on paper), toma2 memory support is 4000+mhz

Yeah but 5600x 5700x 5800x???
MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX II ....... has better VRM than the Aorus...but they are both ... bad for OC 5xxx....and also depends on the CPU as well...

Minor OC for 3400g that too if needed. No extreme OC needed in 5xxx, thats the point to upgrade from 3400g to 5xxx in future.
