The USB onboard controller on my ASUS Crosshair VI seems to have busted on me. That being said, it would seem I’m now in the market for a new MB.
I haven’t been keeping up with the industry and my MB crash is a bit unexpected, so I’m coming into this a bit blind. Looking for advice or feedback from your own experiences.
I have the following components:
- 2 x 16 gb 288 pin 3600 DDR4 SDRAM G.Skill Trident Z Neo
- EVGA FTW3 RTX 3080Ti
- AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-core/16thread
- Seasonic - PRIME TX-1000 80+ Titanium PSU
Looking for suggestions. Not sure if it’d be better to get a new CPU and MB or continue with the current setup with a new MB. I’m also vibing with MBs that have very little to no RGB, I’m a bit RBG’d out.
Appreciate any help or advice
(Edit: added PSU)
I’d get an MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK of some sort and chuck all your current stuff in there and call it a day. It’s been the budget industry champ for Ryzen 3000 and 5000 chips for 5 years now.
It has lots of power with a rock solid Mosfet and there are only a couple of RGB lights that can be set to white and static which matches the decor pretty well. It’s currently 130USD on Bezos ‘R’ US.
