Buyer’s Guide:
There are tons of features and aspects of the motherboard needed to be acknowledged before buying it. The motherboard is regarded as the backbone of the system connecting the brain with all the vital organs. There are tons of specifications listed for a product. Lowering the specification lowers down your confusion too. We cherry-picked the few specifications which are important before buying a motherboard.
CPU Socket/Chipset:
You are looking to build a computer; the processor comes first. Intel or AMD? Each of the processors has different processors. Each processor has a fixed amount of contact pins allocated to the CPU.
The CPU has its specific CPU socket. E.g., Intel 9th and 8th Gen use LGA 1151, AMD’s 1 to 4th Gen Ryzen use the same AM4 socket. Every CPU company lists the compatible CPU socket on the product page.
Another main factor for choosing a motherboard depends on its chipset. The chipset acts as a communicator between the processor and the peripherals. The overclocking features, future upgradability everything depends on the chipset. Intel has their H series, B series, and Z series chipset for their Core series. AMD has A series, B series, and X series chipset. Each chipset has its tier and features. Since we are talking about AMD, we will dive deeper into it.
AMD Chipset has been divided into three generations and three sets of tiers. The AMD 300, 400, and 500 are the generations of the chipset. The 500 series is the latest among the lineup. Each generation is divided into three tiers: A series, B series, and X series.
A series:
It is the lowest and weakest of the chipset series. It has basic features of the generation and doesn’t support overclocking. The chipset features a bare minimum functionality lowering its cost.
B series:
It’s a mid-tier motherboard with a good amount of features. The board allows for better functionality good for gaming and enthusiasts. The B series chipset gives little headroom overclocking, but won’t be that significant.
X series:
The X series chipset is the top of the line from Intel. It offers more PCIe lanes and overclocking features. It has tons of features like PCIe Gen 4.0 support (only 500 series), increasing its value. It’s mainly for the enthusiasts and best for the top of the CPUs.
For the Ryzen 7 3800XT works best with the X570 series motherboard. The overclocking ability and enthusiast-grade build of the motherboards suit well. The motherboard will support the upcoming Ryzen 4000 series processor. For the higher-end CPU, the X570 is the fitting pair.
For the budget option, the B series motherboard the best option. The B undoubtedly due stands for Budget. Bad Jokes asides, the motherboard offers almost similar features to the X570. Better VRMs, support for PCIe Gen 4, etc. Do not let the weaker VRMs on B series motherboard change your option. The B series motherboard can easily handle the Ryzen 7 3800XT processor. Especially the 400 gen and 500 gen board. But don’t expect to overclock on the B series boards.
Note: The 400 gen B series motherboard doesn’t support the PCIe Gen 4 speeds.
Form Factor:
Every motherboard comes in different shapes allowing more or fewer features in it. The overall build also dictates which motherboard you are going to use. Motherboards come in various form factors, e.g., E-ATX, ATX, MATX, ITX, MiniITX, etc. The ATX motherboard is taken as the standard form factor motherboard.
For the mid-tower cases, the ATX and EATX form factor is the best. They have a good amount of PCIe Lanes and better I/O selection. ITX and MiniITX are for compact builds, so good enough to make it portable. So for each build, there are sized motherboards.
Power Delivery:
The power delivery on a motherboard is crucial for your processor to work correctly. Every motherboard is equipped with VRMs. The VRM regulates voltage to your CPU and powers every electrical component on your motherboard. For better system stability and sustainability, getting a stable VRM is important. The quality of VRM on a system also dictates it’s life-span.
Getting a cheap motherboard with cheap might sound okay. But pairing the cheap VRM with the incompatible processor might lead to malfunctioning of parts. VRM is also an essential factor when overclocking. The processor needs stable power from the VRM’s for better overclocking. So if you are looking to run 16 core processors or overclock a CPU, get a better motherboard with better VRM.
Final Words:
The Ryzen 7 3800XT is an eight-core 16 thread and needs fairly good VRMs. The X570 motherboard is best for upgradability. The same goes for the B550 motherboard. If you want a clear upgrade path, we suggest the B550 and X570 motherboard. But if you are not upgrading soon, the B450 is the best.
So we have looked at the best motherboard for the Ryzen 7 3800XT. Now it’s the time to select the correct board for you. We broke down the feature and their best point on getting the motherboard. If you are still confused about our selection, then you can comment down below. We will help you clear your confusion.
