This is the motherboard and cpu I'm looking at for my first build any opinions

 

[Matt Collins]

Solid combo, Asus is my favorite

 

[Daniel Flores]

thats what im using exactly so worth it and a pretty mobo

 

[Daniel Flores]

built it like mid december

I'm going for the whole aura sync thing so my 6 fans as well as my cpu cooler are all aura sync...im pretty deadset on the cpu I've changed the motherboard around a few times my first motherboard was going to be the crosshair vi hero but that jumped in price pretty quick this combo is like 150$ cheaper

 

[Matt Collins]

Crosshair hero vi is what I use. The main difference is SLI/crossfire support (which is apparently not that important in this day and age), and the crosshair has more IO. Other than that they're mostly the same

Got that same combo for 275€ last November. Probably the best Ryzen-CPU overall when it comes to plain gaming with light multitask and the board is one of the best B350 offerings to be had. If there's a good deal on that combo, I'd say go for it. Can't recommend it enough.

 

[Darren Kiddell]

Unless you already have a aftermarket fan or water cooler for the CPU already, I'd suggest getting the 1600 non X variant, it comes with a fan cooler and can be overclocked to around 3.7Ghz on it easily.

 

[Jon Llama Broyles]

I have 8 fans in total I need to run plus 8 rgb headers I've installed rgb headers splitters so it supports all 8 so there are only 2 cables for the 2 headers but I will need to buy a fan splitter cause I've ran all the wires for the crosshair and this mobo only supports 6 fans if I'm correct

 

[Jon Llama Broyles]

I'll take a pic of the cooler I got already water cooling freaks me out that may be a later upgrade

[Patrick John]

What's the main difference between the b350 and z370 gaming?!

 

[Brandon Hicks]

Love this board for the m.2 location. But I’m planning on multi-gpu, no b350 for me

 

[Jon Llama Broyles]

How many fan headers does this board have...6?

 

[Jon Llama Broyles]

So I'm curious can anyone tell me if there is space to run fan cables behind the motherboard

 

[Eric Sheets]

Good choice.

 

[Ahmad Zul Hafizuddin]

good choice. asus is a really great brand. if i had enough vudget i would go for this board ibstead of msi pro gaming. but i have no problem with msi board either.

 

[Rom Alexis Rayla]

If you plan to overclock, I suggest a Ryzen 7 1700 (better multi-core performance) or a Ryzen 6 1600 (if you want your build to be a bit cheaper). Ryzen 5 1600X is good if you don't wish to overclock. If you will be overclocking anyway, then the 1600 is a cheaper pick (comes with a cooler too) and it will be the same performance. Just my opinion.

 

[David Cummings]

Stick with same processor ,especially if you going with AIO cooler ,forget people who say get non X version

 

[Jason Dudek]

Built this for a client back in October. Solid build, topped it off the an RX 580 (he had a budget to stick to do Nvidia was out. Can run pretty much anything at 1080p full effects.
