X570 Motheboards

[orangegizmo]

Hi,

I'm planning to switch to Ryzen 5600x cpu for gaming and some light works. I'm looking at X570 Motherboards but I don't know which Mobo to get so I require some recommendations. My budget is between $800-$1000 including CPU.

Thank you in advance.

So you mean your budget for CPU + Mobo is between S$800 to S$1000?

Yes, is that too low?

Can look at b550 since it’s also compatible . One of the better ones is the Msi unify b550

maybe u should narrow down and list the brand and size of X570 mobos and CPU bundle u can get from the pricelists below for starters.

Between the B550 and X570, the main diff is only PCIe-4 lanes right?

MSI MAG x570 Tomahawk Wifi

$309 standalone. Easily as good as any $500+ boartd. Amazing v-ram cooling/performance , Wifi, BT, 2.5gbe lan. PCI-E 4, usb-C, everything you will ever want to power a 5600x.

I got mine from Bizgram 2 weeks ago, flashed it and popped my 5600x in, worked like a dream. And you claim Assasins Creed Valhalla with MSI promo

if you have PIC-e cards other than the X16 slot which u would like to utilise 4.0, then X570 boards would be nice, else B550 is enough.

Thank you very much!

Damn I just purchased AC Valhalla, Thanks for the recommendation. I was looking at this particular Mobo too due to the price. For the X570 Mobo you still need a bios reflash?

Edited: Seems like I found another TS comparing between the 2 Mobo. But thank you for your replies.

Ya. For my case, I minimalist, so i dun have any PCI-e cards. But i just like the look of the ROG strix X570-i haha...

Btw, for X570 mobos, please ask the seller if it has the latest bios. There are earlier batches which of course they want to clear stocks.

I see, so it's a matter of "future-proof" mobo vs current times mobo.

Yep, its really easy.
Got an old 4gb flash disk - formatted it with RUFUS to fat32. copied the bios file. plugged it into the port that says "FLASH BIOS". Pressed the button and it was done in about 5 mins I did the flash completely bare, as in all i plugged into the board was the ATX power cable and the CPU power cable, nothing else on it, no ram, no cpu.

I followed this guys video.

Just to add on, not all mobo have "Flash Bios". The ITX board like mine dun have.

Oh wow With that said, games now still doesn't utilize much on the cores of the CPU right?

 

[zleipnir]

No bah... if u go google and u will find the 5600X (6 core) is the best gaming CPU. It's all over the internet.

Ah nice, thanks for that.

May I ask, why is reflashing of the bios required?

Like you said, it was also what I read too. Basically, that's what made me wanna do the switch over to Red. I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 right now and all the 4 cores in my intel chip is running at 100%.

 

[zleipnir]

This one u have to ask AMD or search the internet liao.

Hardware is capable but no software supported yet, need to update software to utilise it bah.

Ah nice, thanks for that.

But if u are doing fine, u should look at upgrade GPU instead of CPU bah

Really!? I kept thinking my CPU is the weakest link here and my GPU is only 3 years old.

 

[zleipnir]

Then I think u should go internet and do some reading and research on your computer specs first liao
