I'm thinking about upgrading my motherboard from a B650 to either a B850 or X670. Currently, I have a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and an RTX 5070. Before I go ahead with the purchase and start taking apart my PC, I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether there's any noticeable performance difference with these upgrades. Thanks!

Honestly, you probably won’t see any performance boost by switching to a B850 or X670. With your setup, everything will run the same. The main differences in those boards are things like more PCIe lanes, USB ports, and maybe better power delivery for overclocking, but the core performance of your CPU will stay the same. So, if you're just after better performance, it might not be worth the investment.
The performance won’t change with a new motherboard unless you’re hitting stability issues with your current one. Upgrading is mostly about additional features. If you're looking for more ports or upgraded cooling options, then it makes sense, but for pure CPU performance, there's really no benefit.
Nope, no difference at all! Your Ryzen 7 will perform exactly the same on all those boards, as long as your current mobo supports PBO and manual overclocking without issues. The new boards might have extra features like improved connectivity, but they won’t boost your CPU’s performance.
