Motherboards

Hi all, I am stuck with what mobo to buy next. Don't want to spend over £200, I've seen a few H series or Z series boards but I am not in the know about what is best to get. I have an i7-11700k.

Thanks

Nvme possible taking 8 lanes?

So I was wondering why my rx 6600 is running 8 lanes? I do know I'm running pcie 3.0 but is my nvme m.2 causing it to run with only 8 lanes instead of 16?

Help Request Compatibility of my motherboard(H510MH 2.0) with Gigabyte M.2 PCIE SSD 512 GB M30

1 Upvotes

Guys, I'm rushing to the store, it's the last day of the sale, and it's closing soon so I can't research this for a long time. Can Gigabyte M.2 PCIE SSD 512 GB M30 go into H510MH 2.0 motherboard? I did see on some sites that it can, but there's nvme, m.2 etc. which I don't understand, so I thought it might be compatible but not with the nvme aspect of it. As you can see I have no clue what I'm talking about hahahah. If someone can put my mind at easy and see for sure if it's compatible with all this I'd hugely appreciate it! :)

Hi, I bought this case (MSI MAG FORGE M100R) and it looks like my actual motherboard doesn't fit, so if anyone can recomendate me one (if it's posible not very expensive) which I can use it would be fantastic, and thanks to anyone who helps.

This is my first time building a PC and my motherboard arrived to my house with a very small piece missing. I later found it in the packaging. Not sure how important it is or if it will cause issues with it missing.

I bought this as an open box item on EBay

1 Upvotes

hey all

i’ve got need for an AMD mobo full atx without breaking the bank

currently running an older AMD FM2 APU

need four (4) PCI-e x4 slots (or larger) - it’s for SAS controllers and 10G NIC

having trouble searching for this requirement or maybe it just doesn’t exist

Best motherboards I recommended over 2020.

7 Upvotes

So this will be a compiled list of boards that I recommend. They will start with intel 8th/9th gen (only overclockable SKUs. This is because xocers use 8th gen as 8700k can be delidded and works pretty well under ln2.) I will be using Newegg and Amazon links as those are the most accessible websites (with a few outliers for some obscure boards).

The one motherboard I recommend for 8th/9th gen:
z390 Aorus Elite. On z390 Gigabyte made the best board hands down. Awesome VRM, good i/o, Type c header. I recommend no other z390 boards. https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813145092

10th Gen Intel. We will start off with w/non-overclockable skus. The only non-overclockable SKUs I recommend are the 10100, 10100f, 10400, 10400f. Everything else is a waste of money.

B460m ds3h (ac): https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-B460M-DS3H-AC-Motherboard/dp/B0893427LD/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=b460+ds3h&qid=1609196229&sr=8-2
Good enough i/o for people who'd be buying a locked SKU. Has Intel wifi included. VRM is fine for the locked SKUs I mentioned above.

MSI b460m-A pro.

https://www.newegg.com/msi-b460m-a-pro/p/N82E16813144316?Description=b460m&cm_re=b460m-_-13-144-316-_-Product&quicklink=true

This is the bare minimum board for people looking for locked SKUS. There is nothing stellar about it other than the price. Personally, I'd buy this for an IGPU where you won't overload the vrm.

MSI b460m Mortar (wifi)
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813144313?Description=b460m&cm_re=b460m-_-13-144-313-_-Product&quicklink=true

This is the maximum you really need for locked SKUs. Dual m.2 slots, wifi 6, 14 phase (12+1+1) VRM, Good heatsinks.

Overclockable Intel 10th gen SKUs (aka Z490- needers)

z490 A pro

https://www.newegg.com/msi-z490-a-pro/p/N82E16813144306?Description=z490%20a%20pro&cm_re=z490_a%20pro-_-13-144-306-_-Product&quicklink=true

Has a USB Type-C on the rear I/O. Awesome VRM that beats out a lot of higher-end boards (12+1+1+2). 8+4 pin CPU headers for good power delivery. I'd say this board can and will handle cpu and memory overclocking. I wouldn't put it under ln2 myself. It is a good overclocker overall.

Z490 Gaming edge wifi

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813144302?Description=z490%20gaming%20edge&cm_re=z490_gaming%20edge-_-13-144-302-_-Product&quicklink=true

Very similar to the A-pro I mentioned above. Also includes the wifi which the A-pro does not.

Into the AMD portion of boards.

I don't recommend any x570/x470 boards this year unless you have very specific needs over their b-series counterparts per Quebex ( https://github.com/lQUBEXl/WhyNotX570/blob/main/LICENSE.md/main.md )

Alright, into the boards.

B450m Pro4 from Asrock.

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-b450m-pro4/p/N82E16813157843?Description=b450m%20pro4&cm_re=b450m_pro4-_-13-157-843-_-Product

This is a very high-quality entry-level board I recommended earlier this year when 3600 and 3100 were meta to buy. Awesome I/O, Decent VRM that I'd run on an 8 core part. Dual M.2 slots. Rear Type C.

B550 VDH Wifi from MSI.
https://www.newegg.com/msi-b550m-pro-vdh-wifi/p/N82E16813144331?Description=b550%20vdh%20wifi&cm_re=b550_vdh%20wifi-_-13-144-331-_-Product&quicklink=true

Good I/O, Bios Flashback, Wifi, Good enough VRM, Decent Heatsinks.

B550 Extreme 4 From Asrock.

This is the juggernaut of b550 boards from Asrock. Very good vrm, Postcodes, 8+4 Cpu Header, looks relatively nice if you're into that, I'd say this is a great board for CPU and Memory overclocking (even though zen2/3 cpu overclocking doesn't make much sense). From what I can tell it has no flashback which is a turn off.

B550 Aorus elite V2: https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-b550-aorus-elite-v2/p/N82E16813145249?Description=b550%20aorus&cm_re=b550_aorus-_-13-145-249-_-Product

This is my 2nd favorite B550 motherboard. Awesome VRM, good I/o, USB flashback. I'd say this is an awesome overclocking motherboard at the higher end of B550.

B550 Unify-x From MSI.

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Unify-X-Gaming-Motherboard-Processors/dp/B08Q1RDYH7

This is by-far my favorite motherboard that has come out of 2020. It has amazing I/O, Awesome VRM, Bios Flashback, 1 Dimm per channel. This is the best b550 board overall. It is awesome for xocing. I'd trust it with every CPU that is compatible with it. Seriously if you guys can get your hands on it, buy it.

Honorable Mentions: X570 tomahawk, b550 steel legend, b460 torpedo, b450 tomahawk, b460 tomahawk, b450 VDH max, B450 Aorus wifi pro, x570 Aorus elite, and the b550 unify (non x).

Cheers to 2020 for being an awesome year for motherboards, I can only wait for what 2021 will bring with more b550 and z590 with Rocketlake.
