Top 5 Motherboards for AMD Ryzen 7 5800x

Relatively budget model from not the most famous brand, but with enough functionality to fully use the AMD Ryzen 7 5800x processor. True, we immediately note the presence of restrictions on the possibilities of overclocking the CPU: only 10 power phases and a narrow range of settings in the BIOS. Another factor that led to the rating downgrade is the width of the motherboard, shortened to 229mm, which leaves the right edge with RAM slots hanging in the air, and does not rest on the racks, so the installation of components should be carried out very carefully. As a “compensation”, ASRock offers the ability to use a couple of video cards via CrossFire X, plus they equipped the chipset with an active cooling system and introduced as many as 8 SATA ports.

One of the most budget MSI motherboards based on the X570 chipset. In general, the board is well balanced, it perfectly realizes the potential of the Ryzen 7 5800x processor, but at the same time it has a number of unpleasant features: users have complaints about the quality of the passive cooling of the VRM zone, the detail of the BIOS menu, and the noise level from the fan cooling the chipset. At the same time, a pair of PCI-Ex16 slots are available, which can be combined via CrossFire X, and three PCI-Ex1 slots at once. We also note that under the Ryzen 7 5800x, a BIOS firmware update will be required, because this model entered the market back in 2019 and did not initially receive some of the necessary functionality.

One of the most budget motherboards based on the AMD X570 chipset, while the board is very solid and offers a lot of features, including CrossFire X support, which will help you build a very powerful gaming PC.Perhaps the only obvious weak point is the range of supported frequencies of RAM, where the upper limit is limited to 4400 MHz, which significantly reduces the potential for overclocking RAM. On the other hand, the board is very reliable, equipped with an active chipset cooling system, it has been on the market since 2019, and according to DNS service centers, only 3.21% of buyers have any problems. Well, not the best rating is associated with the already mentioned RAM frequency range, as well as complaints about the poor elaboration of the BIOS menu, plus the need to update the BIOS firmware to fully use the Ryzen 7 5800x chip.

The best motherboard for the Ryzen 7 5800x processor, if you stop at the simpler B550 chipset. Yes, there are much more budget models on this chipset, but they can be found in the selection for the Ryzen 5 5600x chip (link below).The processor will work quite well on the B550s, but its functionality will still be partially limited, primarily in terms of overclocking prospects due to less reliable power supply. As for the Gigabyte B550 Aorus PRO V2 directly, this motherboard will offer maximum opportunities for boosting RAM, plus it will please you with a rich equipment of ports and connectors. Note that at the same time there is no support for CrossFire X and users periodically complain about the convenience of working with settings in the BIOS, especially in terms of overclocking options for components. Given the less-than-ideal adaptation to the capabilities of the Ryzen 7 5800x, the rating of this board is slightly reduced, but it is a good option for those who do not plan to overclock the CPU.

The best motherboard for AMD Ryzen 7 5800x right now. The purchase will be expensive, but you will get absolutely everything you might need, plus a reserve for future PC upgrades.This model is distinguished by a very high-quality cooling design, both passive in the VRM zone and on M.2, and active on the chipset. And there is also support for SLI / CrossFire X, and you can simultaneously use up to three video cards, assembling a super-powerful gaming computer. A good potential is also provided for overclocking components, especially the processor. On the negative side, we highlight the sharply increased cost of the board, plus the presence of a number of problems in early versions of the BIOS firmware, so it is recommended to immediately update it to the current version.
