[kindred810]

Best Mother borde for overclocking ryzen 2600
Msib450 tomahawk: 115$
Asus x470 prime :140
Msi x470 gaming plus :140

Other options under 150? (I'm no a fan of gigabyte)

How significant of an overclock do you plan to run? Are you planning to overclock anything else such as the graphics card or memory?

What CPU cooler are you planning to use?

graphics card gtx 1660 ti yes i Will , the memory ram not

 

[kindred810]

i'm just think to overclock to 1.3 V some 4.0 herz

 

[Darkbreeze]

Of those options, I'd go with the X470 Prime.

I have a ryzen 5 2600 and the board I used (gigabyte b450m ds3h) could get it to 3.8 ghz with 1.27 v easily so if you want like 4 ghz or 4.1 You could probably do it with the b450 tomahawk, even if its not x470 chipset. I think that x470 is best used with x chips (the higher clock/ tdp ones) because you could get more out of it.

you don't have other recommendation?

i saw a video from b450 Tomahawk oc to 4 ghz at 1.3

I don't agree with that advice. And neither do a good many other veteran members. We've seen too many problems on the Tomahawk and Mortar boards to continue recommending them for use with any of the Ryzen 7 CPUs or for overclocking on Ryzen 5. If you want to overclock and ESPECIALLY if you have any plans to upgrade down the road to a Ryzen 3000 product, you would be wise to go with a higher quality motherboard right from the start unless you enjoy being frustrated and wasting money.

so do you have a recommendation?

 

[Darkbreeze]

What country are you in and where can you purchase from?

Domican Republic can purchase at amazon i'm looking for the best motherboard under 150

 

[Darkbreeze]

Well, your 150 probably isn't going to be the same as MY 150, since I don't have to pay shipping or import fees or anything like that. We don't get too many members from DR so I'm not sure what the angle will be on that, but bottom line, if you were in the US and wanted the best AMD board under 150 for the R5 2600, I'd recommend this:

PCPartPicker Part List

Motherboard: MSI - B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC ATX AM4 Motherboard ($154.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $154.99
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

But if you could swing a slightly higher budget, this would easily be the better recommendation, by a long shot:

PCPartPicker Part List

Motherboard: Asus - ROG STRIX X470-F Gaming ATX AM4 Motherboard ($189.89 @ OutletPC)
Total: $189.89
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Despite the fact that you don't particularly like Gigabyte, the X470 Aorus Gaming 5 is also a terrific board. Not particularly high end, but pretty damn good for the price.

Can I just confirm whether you already have the 2600? The Ryzen 5 3600 is released in 4 days and should be a good deal quicker than the 2600. There are good deals to be had on the 2600 right now, but if you haven't parted with your money yet, I'd suggest waiting until the new models are out. Ryzen 3000 series is looking very promising.

 

[Darkbreeze]

That's true, but consider it's probably not going to be as easily obtained in the Domican republic as it is where I am and where you likely are.

  Be cause i World have to pay some 250 dólares to send it to Dominican Repúblic so it isn'y a Worth price

 

[Darkbreeze]

Exactly.

 

[kindred810]

Exactly.

so do you think that my best buy would be the msi b450 gaming pro ac?

 

[TJ Hooker]

What was wrong with the Asus X470 Prime suggestion? Why list it as an option if you don't want to get it?

Of your original 3 I'd get the Prime or the Tomahawk.

Edit: Forgot to ask, what case do you have/are you planning on getting? Do you have any preference or requirement for motherboard size? E.g. micro ATX or full size ATX.

i saw a video from b450 Tomahawk oc to 4 ghz at 1.3

It might be mostly because of the CPU lotery or proper cooling.
For a 2600 OC you don't need super fancy motherboard.
If you want a alternative to the tomahwak, the B450 Steel Legend is about the same.

 

[Darkbreeze]

I'm leaning towards the Tomahawk having a design flaw or really poor quality control, as mentioned in several other threads and related to a good MANY other threads, because we've seen way too many instances of people replacing a Tomahawk B450 board that was having issues with something else and no more problems. Sorry, but the Tomahawk and Mortar boards are fully off my recommended list regardlesss that some people don't have any apparent issues with them because a lot of other people, do.

I'd take the Steel legend over that board any day of the week. However, the X470 Prime you listed in the original post, would be the board I'd choose out of the three you listed. It's just a better overall quality board than these others.

 

[TJ Hooker]

The Tomahawk actually has better average reviews (and less negative reviews) than the Prime on both Newegg and Amazon. If we assume 1 or 2 star reviews are typically related to faulty units then anecdotally the Tomahawk is doing better than the Prime based on the couple hundred reviews on those sites.

 

[Darkbreeze]

And since we know that the people who post feedback on Amazon and Newegg are reliable, mentally stable, technically proficient type people, we'll go with that, right? Uh uh.

Those flaming idiots give a five star review if the frackin' thing arrives without a dented box, on time, and will boot after they assemble it. And those who screw up their installation, themselves, and can't get it to boot and send it back, give a one star review. Yeah, we're not going to start basing things on what reviews from THOSE sites say when we see plenty of evidentiary trends and patterns here. Like I said, they are not all going to have problems. BUT, I'm not the only one seeing this issue nor am I the only one who believes there is a problem with these boards.

So the best option forma me is B450 gaming pro ac or X470 Prime pro
