AMD Motherboards

We've spent weeks reviewing and testing a variety of motherboards; here are our selections!

The MSI MAG B850M Mortar WiFi is an excellent mATX option to run the latest AMD Ryzen 9000 chips, offering a decent design plus excellent I/O and performance at a fair price. 5G LAN, WiFi 7, 20G USB, and dual PCIe Gen 5 M.2 slots are some of its highlights, and we can't get enough of the EZ-DIY features either.

The ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero is one of the most premium ($700) offerings for AMD's most premium chipset. It offers a fresh, all-black design highlighted by the large Polymo Lighting II array, excellent VRMs, five M.2 slots, and 20 USB ports. Dual LAN ports are also on offer, but we would've preferred a singular 10G port.

The Ryzen 9 9950X3D is nailing all workloads and gaming benchmarks, and we've rounded up the best motherboards for it.

Although most of the X870 motherboards have amazing features, the best ones tend to have better storage and networking possibilities.

The ASRock Phantom Gaming X870E Nova WiFi is a remarkable motherboard for all Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 series CPUs. It has an impressive 20+2+1-phase VRM design with 110A Dr.MOS SPS. The motherboard has a total of five M.2 slots, with the top one being Gen5. There is also an exceptionally extensive selection of USB ports, including USB4 and much more. As expected, the X870E Nova WiFi packs a solid punch when it comes to both synthetic and gaming benchmarks, and also has very optimal VRM thermals, making it a good choice for overclocking.

The ASRock B850M Steel Legend WiFi is a solid MicroATX motherboard for $179, offering good features like PCIe Gen5, WiFi 7, and plenty of USB ports. It supports AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 CPUs and performs well in gaming. While its VRM cooling isn’t great for heavy overclocking, it’s a great pick for budget-friendly, compact builds, especially if you like its sleek white design.

The ASRock B850M Pro RS WiFi motherboard is a great small form-factor motherboard for budget gamers who want to utilize AMD's latest mid-range offerings. It provides decent value with 17x USB ports, 3x M.2 slots, and 4x HDD slots. It also has a beautiful black-and-white design and overall packs enough performance and features to offer a good gaming experience without breaking the bank.

The ASRock B850 Steel Legend WiFi is a $209.99 motherboard that comes in an all-white color scheme that looks excellent. Moreover, the powerful VRMs with strong black capacitors give it enough juice to produce impressive performance on screen. The number of features is also quite impressive and makes it one of the best options in the sub-$250 motherboard category.
