[SOLVED] MSI B450: Pro Carbon AC vs MORTAR TITANIUM

[metalw6]

Not so many differences between the two MOBO, one is Micro ATX and the other one is a normal ATX with some additional feature that I don't really care about (wifi, bluetooth, etc).
But the question is: the MSI GAMING PRO CARBON AC ATX AM4 mobo is a really good investment?
Can they support the Ryzen 7 3700X (by updating the BIOS) or the Micro ATX would suffer just because is a Micro ATX?

I've read that the new AMD chipset has been confirmed (what it would be called B550) that would fill the gap for the new Ryzen family in terms of Mobo, so considering what is available and the related costs of the products at the moment, does it have any sense to go with something "expensive" for something that would be replaced soon?

I've found the Carbon at €162.87 meanwhile the Mortar Titanium at roughly €130, not huge difference but I really felt in love with the Mortar Titanium, it looks very good so yeah it just a fashionable option for me.
Can the Titanium Mobo handle the new Ryzen CPU? What are you thoughts?

The best B450 board to get, is the B450 Tomahawk max. It supports Ryzen 3000, without the need for a bios update.

Looks like the B550's may be released in the first half of this year. If you are looking to upgrade I would hold off a bit if you can to see how this plays out. Pricing should be more affordable than the x570's and better VRM's vs the 450's.

What's going to be really hard is not scoop up a B450 and 2700 deal that could happen with the 4000 series release. The pricing on them now is really good but if drops much further....must resist.
