CPU & Motherboard

[Mr Dan Dan]

I've had to return my cpu (ryzen 7 3700x) and motherboard (MSI MAG B550M MORTAR WIFI) as I have been having issues with them. I've requested a replacement cpu but I'm unsure if the motherboard was the right choice. Should I risk another one of these boards or does anyone have any other suggestions on which one I should get that would work well with the CPU. I have a Scythe fuma 2 cooler and a lian li 011 dynamic Case if anyone needs to know what space I'm working with. I don't really wanna spend a fortune on a motherboard, limit is around £200. The mortar wifi cost me £140.
Thanks

if you dont mind ITX and one of the best VRM set ups

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Gigabyte B550 AORUS Pro AC (AMD AM4) B550 ATX Motherboard= £179.99
• 1 x Gigabyte B550I AORUS PRO AX (AMD AM4) B550 Mini-ITX Motherboard= £174.95

Total: £366.04 (includes shipping: £11.10)


Pro AC has 12 X 50 Amps using 6 doublers

Mortor is 8 phase Design using 4+4 phases in Parallel (Aorus V2 now use this due to Doubler shortages )

**ITX board would be wasted in ATX dynamic case sorry​
