Question which motherboard ?

[akkour]

picked up a r5 5500 and plannin to upgrade later, ive couple choices, Asrock b450 pro4 R2.0 / Asrock b450 ac/r2.0 / gigabyte b450 d3sh / asus prime b450 II
confused which one should i pick but asus one seems bad.

The low end boards tend to not have amazing power delivery or cooling, and do lack some features, but work fine for a simple CPU/SSD/GPU setup. A few SATA drives maybe.

I would probably aim for a cheap B550 board anyway.

hey thanks for replying, sry but i dont have much knowledge about VRMs and mobos in general, but as far as i know, asrock b450 pro4 r2 has 10 power phase, meanwhile the ones you shared got 8 power phase, i know i might be wrong thats why i stated i dont have much knowledge, also the price difference is almost 50$ since newegg doesnt ship to my country and amazon prices are kinda higher, im not planning to do any overclocking only XMP, so is the pro4 a bad choice if i plan to upgrade to r7 5700x later ?

Phases are nice to have, that allows the load to spread out more. But a lot of the low end boards didn't bother with heatsinks, so they will run hotter regardless.

Also have to be careful about how they count phases, they often run VRM in parallel so it is a really a 4+2 phase board. 2x4 VRMs for the CPU main power and 1 phase each for the two big secondary voltages (one is the memory)

looks like im gonna pick asrock b550m pro4, is it a good choice ?

It will work. I probably wouldn't drop in a 5900X or 5950X later on, but a 5800X3D should be alright.

is x570 phantom good ?, it costs 120$ here, worth extra 20$ ?
