Hi yall!
So ive been looking to get a motherboard for my ryzen 5 2600x system.
So far i was going to get this
ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813119140&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=


But i was wondering if i should go to a x470? I found this one

I want to make sure i stay under 160$
here is the rest of my system.

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler

I had heard the b450 could possibly have some bios problems getting the ram up to speed?
But had also heard some bad things about the x470?

Any input would be great!
 
Solution
So you're going to hear both good and bad from products. I am actually looking at the Strix X470-F mobo for my new ryzen 2700x build. I've read getting the ram up to speed is easy for some, while others have issues.

If you can spare the 40 bucks take a look:

Just make sure you are alright with the X amount of usb ports on the mobo.

After reviewing the ASUS CrossHero VII, this is the better choice for me due to the amount of usb ports.

Someone said they had no issues running this mobo with the ryzen 2600x:

ASRock B450 PRO4 AM4 AMD B450 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Its on sale @ Newegg for $74.99
