Question Need affordable mobo for 9800x3d that works out of the box

[Wonderclam]

Something that doesnt have to be flashed for it to work with a 9800X3D

I'll be using a 4070 ti super videocard and will buy 64GB of ram

Affordable/budget is a relative term, what is your budget? Where are you located? Preferred site for purchase? ATX chassis?

You can look into a B850/X870 chipset board but practically all boards tend to have a BIOS Flash option to flash the BIOS without building your system and getting POST.

ATX, mATX, mini ITX?

Budget?

From where do you usually purchase tech?

These motherboards will work out of the box with 9800X3D? No flashing?

Also, what RAM do you guys recommend for my set up? I'm leaning towards 64GB of it.

I'll be buying everything through Amazon.

Also, I currently have a "Be Quiet!" CPU cooler

I hope it'll work with my new build

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Cooler will only work if you have compatible hardware for the AM5 platform. Both of the above boards are compatible out of the box.

 

[Wonderclam]

Ok, I just ordered the 9800X3D and the GIGABYTE X870 Eagle WIFI7 motherboard

Now what RAM to buy...

 

[Wonderclam]

I have the

be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 250W TDP CPU Cooler | Includes Two Silent Wings PWM Fans | Intel 1700 1200 2066 1150 1151 1155 2011 Square ILM | AMD4 AMD5 | Black | BK022​

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BY6F8D9?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3

This is the fan I have. I like it because it is super quiet.

It says AMD5 so does that mean it'll work with the 9800X3D which is AM5?

Yes, that one is compatible as long as you kept all the necessary hardware (assuming you used the cooler before).

 

[QyInvoLing]

I'll recommend Biostar B850 MT-E PRO. It's an almost-perfect AM5 motherboard.

 

[Wonderclam]

I just have whats on my PC right now..

I bought it 5 years ago, I threw away all the stuff that's not installed on my PC right now

 

[williamjeremiah]

If you can't be bothered to flash firmware or choose RAM, buy a DELL.

 

[Wonderclam]

Ended up buying a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU cooler

I hope it's not gonna block the RAM it's so big
