Question MSI B450 GAMING PLUS MAX vs MSI PRO B450-A PRO MAX AM4

[OrientalFlavored]

Between these two motherboards which one would be better for a R5 3600x? I will be getting the CM MC H500, if that matters at all.

Both are good boards, but I would opt for the B450 Gaming Plus. It is more simmilar to the MSI B450 tomahawak max which has been proven to hanle Ryzen 3000 very well, even a 3900x/3950x with some airflow.

The -A Pro actually has an identical VRM setup as the Tomahawk. Can't really find anything about the Gaming Plus VRM. But overall all 3 boards appear to be quite similar.

Ok, i have heard the Gaming plus has an identical vrm to the tomahawk, so maybe they all 3 have the same VRMs.

I guess it comes down to looks, since they otherwise are very simmilar

Sounds good thanks for the responses, they just didn't have many reviews on newegg or amazon so I was in the dark.

Yeah I was going to get a Max but they are all out or very expensive online.
