Which better
- Msi Tomahawk Max B450
or
- Gigabyte Aorus Elite B450
For Cpu Amd Ryzen 5 3600
rtx 2060 super
ram 3200
 
Solution
There's not much feedback on the Max B450, I would say the Aorus Eilite but if you want a good alternative would be the Steel Legend B450, good and solid motherboard for the price, plenty of features and well capable of higher core CPUs.

I don't know about these specific models, but let me remember using both brands. Notice this could've been just a random event:
  1. Once had an MSI motherboard with DDR2 on board, and 1-2 elements on this mobo burned to ashes. Mobo couldn't function anymore.
  2. Other one I had was Gigabyte, and it never stopped working. This is probably due to Copper PCB, triple layer or something like that, good material that those mobos are made from.

Avoid MSi at all costs... They are having big issues with their cheaply designed VRMs if you use any 95+ watt AMD CPU... The VRMs hit 100+ degrees, other brands range between 65-80 degrees...
