Introduction
Should the latest sales reports indicate anything, many of you possess brand new Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors, and you might be in pursuit of an equally gleaming new motherboard for them. For those in this situation, it’s a fortunate day since AMD and its motherboard collaborators are unveiling their new Socket AM5 motherboards featuring the more affordable B850 and B840 chipsets. In essence, if you seek advanced functionalities and a motherboard that will support you throughout the Socket AM5 era, without needing to secure a loan for an X870 model, the B-series chipset boards could save you some money, with the ASUS ROG Strix B850-F Gaming Wi-Fi taking the lead.
The B850 chipset allows optional support for M.2 PCIe Gen 5 and USB4, while it provides fewer PCIe lanes, and the B840 variant completely omits some of these features. Nonetheless, B850 boasts a significant advantage over its rival, as Intel’s B-series chipsets do not permit overclocking. B850 does allow it in addition to the standard PBO/Curve Optimizer/Shaper adjustments, and one can even push performance further through manual overclocking.
Hence, VRMs and cooling solutions remain highly crucial, and these factors have determined whether B-series boards excelled as bestsellers or faded into obscurity during reviews in the past. We’re not going to grant any easy passes here, as we continue to evaluate the ASUS ROG Strix B850-F Gaming Wi-Fi along with any other B-series motherboard against our Ryzen 9 9950X to ensure it can handle practically anything.
