The best motherboards of 2021 September

After 24 hours of analysis and comparison of 30 popular motherboards in the market, we believe that the Gigabyte Z590 Orus Ultra is the best of the moment.
Powerful and versatile, it offers excellent performance and offers an attractive price/quality ratio.

My Pick (Because no one has an extreme level of the craze of games than me! )

Best Motherboard for Ryzen 9 3900x

Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Ultra

Gigabyte integrates the most exciting on the market with its motherboard to make it one of today's complete models. This model offers us a day-to-day setting that is compatible with every type of optimization that compels us to maximize its performance. In addition, it has access to WiFi 6 AX on PCle 4.0 (3.0 to 2 times more powerful).

Asus Rog Strix Z490-I Gaming

The ASUS Rog Strix Z490-I Gaming Mini is a motherboard in ITX format, primarily for 9th generation Intel Core processors, although they are also compatible with 8th generation Socket 1200. This model focuses on gamers.

MSI MAG B550M Mortar

With the advent of AMD processors (such as the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, which crushes the competition), it is not surprising to find good models of motherboards equipped with the latest technologies. Here we get PCIe 4.0 which has M.2 SSD slots to maximize the performance. Its B550M chipset allows you to smooth the final note without sacrificing too much performance.

ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (WI-FI)

With its high performance, the Cross Diamond VIII Hero is a great option if you want to maximize your setup.

On the other hand, it is known for its overclocking capabilities, which combined with a highly practical set of software to customize the settings to suit your needs. However, it has only 2 M.2 ports, where the competition usually offers 3.

How to choose your motherboard?

Like the graphics card and the processor, the motherboard is a masterpiece of our computer. Still, many people are unaware of their existence or their role in the PC. Given this and a large number of models available in the market, the choice becomes difficult.

Before buying a product with such features, you need to know how to differentiate a series of concepts:

  1. Formats: Most use the ATX format, which requires a large case, but they are faster and have more PCI Express ports. With medium size micro ATX. Mini-ITX motherboards are the smallest and usually the most expensive. They are great for gaming PCs, but they have fewer PCI ports and less space for RAM.
  2. Chipset: This is the basic element of the motherboard. It controls the flow of data between the microprocessor and the rest of the elements that make up the motherboard. Thus, a good chipset offers more functionality. Also, it will affect the performance of the processor. The best ones are usually AMD and Intel.
  3. Connectivity: You need to check how many RAM ports are included and how fast they can go. There is no point in buying DDR4 if you are not going to take full advantage of it. It is best to buy a motherboard with a shield or space to install.
  4. Compatibility: Processors are ready, and boards go hand in hand. Therefore, it is best to consider the type of CPU you choose for a synchronized motherboard.
  5. Ventilation system: Allows the motherboard-making elements to cool. This is often the case with overclocking, which is comparable to having a good ventilation system.

Notable remarks.

MSI B460 Tomahawk (at press time 5 235.09): Here's a more affordable alternative for Intel lovers. It uses the B460 chipset, cheaper, but not necessarily less complete. This motherboard is for less demanding gamers who don't consider overclocking. However, this is not without its advantages of having a well-rounded connection and a clean design (with a little touch of RGB).
