Which comes with the Ryzen 5 1500X, 1600 and Ryzen 7 1700, and finally, we have the top-of-the-line Wraith Max (140W TDP) which is included with the Ryzen 7 1700X and 1800X.īefore we move on, I want to mention that we have covered AMD's Ryzen 3, 5 and 7 processors in our reviews listed below: You will need to tell me your requirements though, such as whether you will be using an m.2 drive, how many SATA drives, LED lighting? like on-board lighting, LED strips, LED cooler? PCI-e GPUs? etc etc, and if you need help choosing any of that too, I don't mind either, just let me know your budget and I'll try to suggest something suitable if you let me know what your usage will be, like gaming/streaming/both, workload type such as rendering, encoding/re-coding/transcoding videos and whether you will be using anything like plex, whether you will be using it as an HTPC also at the same time etc.With the release of the Ryzen processors, AMD has also released a new line of Wraith Coolers which feature incredibly 92mm quiet fans, customizable RGB lighting and improved cooling performance.įirst, we have the small Wraith Stealth (65W TDP) which is bundled with the Ryprocessor, then there's the Wraith Spire (95W TDP) If you need any help picking something out, I don't mind helping you at all. There's more info here if you want to have a look.įor prices for your country a good starting point is to have a look at the PCpartpicker site hereĪnd other AM4 boards (sorted by lowest price) here Has 9 power phase design, so pretty good OC potential if you need it too, it's one of the better spec m-ATX boards for sure and it's only around £78. Has the AMD fan/LED port and also an extra RGB port to hook up some case LEDs etc.

Has 4*SATA ports (1 of them is disabled if using the SATA m.2 port), PCI-e x16 port, and PCI-e x4 port (the PCI-e x4 port is disabled if using the m.2 NVME PCI-e x4 port). This one I have is the ASrock AB350M it's m-ATX and it has 4*RAM slots, 2*M.2 connectors that support 1*NVME/PCI-e x4 and 1*SATA/AHCI drives. Im not looking at none in particular, but, while watching tutorials on youtube, I saw that in order to have control over the rgb lighting, you must have a software such as Asus Aura, that came in just the high end mobos with those RGB header such as the ones in the attached image, as you can tell im not that tech savy, so any orientation in this subject is highly appreciatedĪhh I see, no there are some lower end mobos that are still very good especially for the price.
