I'm on the hunt for a budget-friendly AM5 motherboard and the options out there are just overwhelming. Most of them seem to cost over $300 or have some major drawbacks. I'm planning to use a 9600X CPU, which is priced similarly to the 7600X here, so I'm hoping to find a solid board. My priorities are: it has to be stable (that's my number one concern), preferably under $200 (though I'm open to slightly higher if needed), and it should support 5600MHz memory since I'm using the 9600X. I don't care about aesthetics or extra features like multiple NVME slots or Wi-Fi. I just want something reliable that does its job well. If you have any recommendations outside those criteria that you think would work, I'm open to suggestions!
