Which mATX Motherboard Should I Choose for My New 9800x3D?
Asked by

I'm about to get my hands on a 9800x3D and need help finding a suitable mATX motherboard. I've heard there might be some compatibility issues with ASRock boards and the x3D chips. Does anyone have recommendations for a solid motherboard to pair with it?
Answers
I suggest staying away from ASRock for now due to persistent issues I've seen discussed. Your best bet right now is likely with other brands.

Do you have a budget? Knowing where you're located can help narrow down the options. Under $200 would be ideal, but I see if you can stretch up to $250.

Check out the Gigabyte B850 Eagle WiFi 6E. It's got solid VRMs and is a great deal right now!

For mATX, you likely want something reliable without too much hassle. A B850 motherboard from brands other than ASRock should serve you well. ASRock may improve in the future, but currently, their boards seem to have some quirks with this chip.
