Previously was used to cool for 13900K & RTX3080ti, the latter has moved to another rig with 13700K.

Not sure if thats an ideal arrangement as the lower rad is blowing hot air towards the intake of GPU fans. But it surely is a lot of cooling just for CPU alone.

again , still not able to decide , which AM5 motherboard can handle well 9600 or 9700 ? x version ? didn't keep up to am5 board.
AM4 is cheap but worry no more support for future upgrades.

If you are looking to upgrade in future, just grab x870e or x870 instead. No point go for AM4 as DDR4 platform is sunsetting.

Plenty. just don't pick the bottom barrels. Take note on the ports, so pick based on your requirements. Go for 8 series if you want more future-proof.

https://www.techspot.com/review/2907-amd-x870-motherboards/ (ASus & ASRock are strong in this series. Asrock Nova are very popular).

MSI fell of a bit with AM5.


Yet to come are B850 boards.


edit: updated B650 review link

Sorry forgot to add budget , standard cheap brand , non over clock , below rm500 if possible.

Those website recommend base on oversea selling price.Here selling never price drop and even increase during sales.Some board didn't sell here either.

sadly, you'll need at least RM800 for a decent AM5 board.

That is what I am concern , motherboard are too expensive now.AM4 is outdated too.
Which of suggestion for brand and model for AM5 ? exclude MSI ,
Asrock and Gigabyte cheaper ?

babylon52281 sorry , I think of skipping Intel 1700 , still deciding about AM5 motherboard , any suggestion too?

for around 700-800, have a look at these mATX boards:
ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 - this is very popular and decent budget AM5 board.
Gigabyte B650M DS3H - comparable to the ASrock
MSI B650M Gaming Plus WiFi - plus version, not the normal Gaming Wifi version.

i don't recommend anything if the price is < 700 as VRM heatsink is pretty much non-existent in lower end boards.

9800x3d now in Malaysia ard rm3k ; or rm4k bundle with x870 mobo

Worth it ?

This ASRock model is not in Malaysia

that's the theory price..unfortunately its not available at that pricing

You can get that price from Viewnet, but need to bundle with the X870 motherboard, i bought a set weeks before.

called and no stock

cheapest I can find is RM3800 bundled on Lazada

Ill give it a pass for now...

Which one is better bundle i.e which mobo worth it?

Viewnet quoted me 9800X3d + Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite Wifi7 ICE or MSI X870 Tomahawk RM3639, the price you shown from Lazada quite ok actually, i know it must be after voucher if not mistaken.
