X470

Please extrapolate upon this - what specifies points do you feel are innaccurate?

I bought the Crosshair VII, a 2700X and a 4266 Bdie kit. The Stilt profiles don't work at all, but I was able to archieve 3576 CL14. I hope Zen 2 will hit 4000 on this board.

The Crosshair 7 Hero has a built-in rootkit, albeit disabled by default. Similar to how Lenovo Service Engine worked. It injects shit through WPBT before Windows even boots.

The Strix-F, C6H/C6E don't have this problem.

The only bad things about the Asus x470 boards are the VRM cooling.

The VRM list

>I wouldn't buy Gigabyte with those VRMs.
the x470 aorus 7 has the best VRMs and features for overclocking.

Unlike b350 most b450 don't have LLC. Tomahawk and pro carbon should have it though, but better verify before buying.
Though generally b350/b450 boards are shittier and have worse VRM. I would go with x470 if it's not temporary. And MSI's bios is awful.

Gigabyte X470 Aorus Gaming 7 WIFI (Best X470)
ASRock X470 Taichi (Runner-up X470)
MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC (Best B450)
MSI B450 Tomahawk (Runner-up B450)
MSI B450M Mortar (Best Micro-ATX)
MSI B450I Gaming Plus AC (Best Mini-ITX)
Honorable mention: ASUS X470 Crosshair VII Hero (Best for liquid nitrogen OC)

if it has gaymin in its name, it's shit

that's all you need to know
