Hi I am leaning towards a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Ultra for my new system with a 5800X. The price is at the upper limit of what I am willing to spend at $300. I have several quick questions. It is top rated by Toms' Hardware here. Is this a solid mobo?
I'm not overclocking but want the highest build quality for my system. Is an X570 going to be more robust and have a longer lifespan than say a B550?
I want the CPU to operate under stock parameters and avoid the whole ridiculous situation where the mobo removes CPU limits to make them perform better at the cost of much higher thermals. Do AMD mobos do this the same as Intel mobos? Like here and here, the whole PL1 Pl2 Tau thing. If so can I turn the limits back on easily on this mobo?
And finally do I need to flash this guy for 5800X support or is it supported out the box?
Anything else to know?
Thanks!
