anandtech Best AMD Motherboards: June 2021

[ENTERPRISE]

Quote

Since the beginning of the year, pricing on AMD's top Ryzen 9 5950X processor has often been in excess of $1000. This is despite its launch back in November 2020, along with the other Zen 3 processors, some of which have been a bit easier to find at reasonable prices of late. Despite a wave of stock issues that have plagued a lot of the hardware market this year, motherboard stock has been quite consistent. There are a wide variety of system combinations for users to build, but at the heart of every system is a motherboard. Here are our picks for June in our latest AMD motherboard buyers guide.

I read nearly every x570 motherboard manual, and Giga has it going on! I just bought another Ultra for my 2nd bench since my first is full. Running 6 PCI-E lanes at 4.0 and 4x+ blows away everything else. Most have an if/then limitation to reduce the number you can run, or all of the chipset lanes are at 3.0 speeds.

 

However, I'm not so sure the overclocking side of things is good or not. I haven't explored it yet.
