Top 5 Motherboards for AMD Ryzen 5 5600x

Definitely the best option in the mid-budget segment, as many analogues will cost even a thousand or two, but more. This motherboard, although it is made in the size of micro-ATX, but received a good set of slots, including two PCI-Ex16, also with CrossFire X support, which will allow you to combine a pair of video cards. We also note a good study of passive cooling, there are radiators here both on the chipset and on the VRM zone, as well as in the area of ​​the M.2 slot. In sum, we get an excellent solution that allows you to fully unlock the potential of the Ryzen 5 5600x processor from AMD, including taking into account the prospects for overclocking components. As for unpleasant surprises, users do not have enough buttons to quickly reset the BIOS (you have to close the contacts), and there are also complaints about the inconvenient layout of SATA connectors.

A very popular model with a fairly budget price tag. The board is compact, micro-ATX form factor, so all the slots are presented to a minimum, but you can assemble a solid gaming computer on it. We note the presence of 4 slots for 2-channel RAM, the manufacturer did not save on them, and this is a good start for an upgrade, even taking into account the potential for switching to older AMD Ryzen chips. In terms of strong overclocking, problems may arise - there are only 8 power phases and simple passive cooling of the VRM zone. Among other shortcomings of the motherboard, we highlight the features of a dense layout, due to which a large video card can overlap other slots, plus users consider the location of SATA ports to be extremely unsuccessful. In part, all this is offset by the increased quality of the model and a three-year official warranty.

One of the most affordable motherboards available to run the AMD Ryzen 5 5600x processor. At the same time, you need to understand that the budget price imposes certain restrictions: the number of RAM connectors has been reduced, ports and connectors for PC components are presented to a minimum, plus there are only 6 power phases and very simple VRM cooling, i.e. you can almost forget about overclocking. The micro-ATX form factor will also cause some inconvenience, because the dimensions here are narrowed down to a ridiculous 230x201 mm, which is why the entire component base is located too close, increasing the risk of overheating. On the other hand, with a budget deficit, building a PC based on ASRock B550M-HDV is very logical, because there are no restrictions on the use of processor functionality, and the money saved can be redirected to more RAM.

Significantly more expensive against the backdrop of a supply crisis, but highly demanded by gamers, a motherboard with ample opportunities to use the AMD Ryzen 5 5600x processor. In some way, the model is quite an average budget one, at least in terms of price / quality ratio it is definitely one of the most relevant at the moment. The board has everything you need, including extended RAM support, CrossFire X technology, 14 power phases, advanced acoustics and detailed cooling, which will eliminate the risk of overheating of the component base in case of overclocking your PC components. There are no special complaints about the performance of the board, there are only some complaints about the quality of individual elements: the clamps for the video card slots are too fragile, and the heatsink of the M.2 slot does not always fit snugly.

A very "tasty" motherboard that fits perfectly into the needs of AMD's Ryzen 5 5600x processor, plus it has an excellent foundation for future PC upgrades with a replacement chip for a more powerful and modern one. For its price, the GIGABYTE B550 AORUS PRO V2 offers the best set of slots and connectors, plus it is able to support RAM with fantastic frequencies up to 5400 MHz. Such opportunities open up excellent prospects for overclocking, but you need to take into account one inconvenient feature of the BIOS of the board - in case of incorrect settings, all parameters are automatically reset, so you have to install everything again. We also note that if there are three PCI-Ex16 slots, the model does not support multiple video cards via CrossFire X.
