What do they have? These days AMD has lesser rams compatibility issues so don't have to worry much there. Just pick 1 that you find it aesthetically attractive.

They have either xpg or t-force.

My local shop selling 699 for TridentZ rgb non X version. Worth to get it tho? And they carry most Kingston fury

Asus’s one will look much nicer hence more expensive. As to which one has better vrm cooling, that I am not sure.

Hi, Kristal. I just bought all my parts following your recommendations

But unfortunately I felt like a lot of users complained about the MSI motherboard which caused a lot of issues.

Just wondering any users from here succeed to get through MSI B450 with 3700x?

is that so? i am about to buy MSI board too. I've heard MSI has the best b450 board among the rest..hmm

Because the bios size limited to 16mb caused the problem if not mistaken.

If you haven’t bought it, wait for Tomahawk Max. Store in Singapore or Hong Kong already have the stocks. So it’s soon our turn to get the new batch of stock I believe.

Update: I return the MSI and bought gigabyte X570 Aorus instead. Wallet 😭
