sorted byWas considering pairing this with a MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS which is £120 at amazon but I've not done too much research so there will likely be better boards for less cash.
Looking to upgrade from a Ryzen 5 1600 on a MSI b350m Bazooka. The support of Zen 3 is a bit of a hit and miss on these motherboards, hence I need to be able to return it if it doesn't work out. (edited)
I've never tried to return a CPU but if I did, I'd clean it up with some Isopropyl alcohol ( to remove any thermal paste) before sending it back.
Most of the benchmarks show little difference. Any opinions people who know more?
Thanks! (edited)
