Question Ryzen 7 2700x

[Vigilante3331]

Hello I just purchased a Ryzen 7 2700x and I'm not sure which motherboard to get, my budget is around $120 usd. What do you recommend I shound get?

I have this motherboard and really like it. The BIOS is easy to navigate/update & DOCP sets your memory at the correct speed, voltage & timings. If your putting in a two stick memory kit make sure they are in slots A2/B2 or DOCP won't work and crash.

@ WildCard999 thanks I'll consider this option.

@ WildCard999 thanks I'll consider this option.

No problem! If it needs to be another size such as MATX or ITX then there's different options. Also if you require wifi or BT let us know.

@logainofhades I do like the duel M.2, but it only supports up to 3200MHz ram, still in the running

B450, in general, doesn't really support speeds, beyond 3200, very well.

3200 for second gen is perfectly fine and I believe there was a thread while ago about speeds with Ryzen 1st/2nd gen above 3200 and from what some users reported was little improvement over 3200.

With 3rd gen we see users with higher memory speeds such as 3600 but if the board doesn't support above 3200 then there's little reason to go more then that.

MSI MAX B450 boards support higher then 3200 and fall into your budget but who knows how stable they are with those higher speeds.

I went with the Gigabyte B450 Aorus pro wifi, not that I'll use the wifi. thanks everyone!
