Upgrade from 8350 to Ryzen

If you want a decent X470 board then i can recommend the folling boards in order.

  • Asus Crosshair VII Hero. <-- Pretty much the best X470 board overall.
    With the best vrm implementation, and best bios.
  • Asrock X470 Taichi Ultimate. <-- Also a very decent board with great vrm design.
  • Asrock X470 Taichi Non Ultimate. <-- Same board as the Ultimate but lacking the 10gbe ethernet controller.
    But offers strong value for money.
  • Gigabyte Aorus X470 Gaming 7 <-- Also a really decent board in terms of vrm design.
    But the Gigabyte bios can be a littlebit wonky at times.

Midrange boards:

  • Asus X470-F Strix. A really nice midrange board with a decent vrm design.
    The main thing with this particular board is that it lacks a few feautures like postcode readout, onboard buttons and a b-clock gen.
    But other then that a pretty nice board with some basic rog features.
  • Asus X470 Prime Pro Also a nice midrange board with all the base features that you would need.

The rest of the X470 boards are a littlebit meh.
