Hi,
I am contemplating between 2 motherboards:
1. ASUS Prime B450M-A
2. Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite
Which would you prefer and why?
My planned build:
- Ryzen 5 3600
- Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB 3200Mhz RAM
- MSI RTX 2060 Ventus XS 6G
- Corsair PSU 650W Gold
Hi, I am wondering if the ASUS EX-B150M-V3 motherboard can be compatible with Intel Core i5-9400F CPU or if it can work with some BIOS upgrade etc. If anyone can help confirm that would be amazing. Thank you!
Digitimes is reporting that Intel has notified its downstream PC and motherboard partners that price cuts of 10 - 15% are coming for its 8th and 9th generation desktop processors.
Looks like Gigabyte has released some of the manuals for the upcoming x570 series motherboards.
X570 AORUS ELITE
X570 AORUS PRO WIFI
X570 AORUS XTREME
X570 AORUS MASTER
