[SOLVED] Help with selecting b550 board for 5900x and ddr4 3600

[elkido122]

I need help choosing a good b550 board around 200-220$ us. It needs to handle 5900x and ddr4 2x16gb at 3600 xmp profile ... I've seen the asus b550f , and the msi b550 edge wifi and also the tomahawk . Although the asus has notorious LAN card issues.. anyone shed some light on this so I can find a board to meet my needs. Thanks

the board you mention above is a pretty solid one, go for which better suits you, or spend on x570 platform, that cpu needs real power.

Well I mean, it seems like there isn't any good x570 for around 200-220 unless I'm wrong . I'd prefer to stay around from the intel 225v nic since there notorious for issues. Also which board were you saying is pretty solid I listed 2 boards .. thanks

B550 vs X570 doesn't matter, for power. What matters is the power delivery on the board themselves. There are B550 boards, that are superior to x570, in this regard.

Ok how would the x570 tomahawk compare to the b550 unify x,? Both are 270$ , would both handle ddr4 3600 stable with xmp setting? Thanks

 

[logainofhades]

Any B550 or x570 should be able to handle DDR4 3600. I am running 3733 ram, on a Gigabyte B550 Elite v2 , and 3600 in a gigabyte x570-i Aorus Pro-wifi, myself.

Ok so for 200$ is the b550 tomahawk and the gaming edge wifi good?
