Its the latest 7B79vAA BIOS for the X470 Gaming Plus.Is that with an updated BIOS that supports the new Zen 2? If so, then that's one hell of an issue from MSI.
What GPU do you have?If you're gaming, go get that R5-3600X with a good X470 board.
I just took the ACC Porsche out at Spa...while recording in real-time with Fraps.
Darn thing looks like a television broadcast...no skipping, no lag, no juddering. It is smooth as glass.
I have a 1080 Ti but that 1070 will be just fine.What GPU do you have?
I am literally hovering over the big fat Buy button on either an Asus Strix X470-f / Aorus Gaming5 and a 3600x...
I have a GTX 1070 that will be transplanted from the old i7 3770k rig...
Someone said in another thread that the ASRock x470 Taichi is actually one of the better boards... any advice on MB?
The taichi is meant to take a 3900x without moaning. If you 'only' wanna run a 3600x and don't plan to slam anything more demanding at it, you can also get a way cheaper board!What GPU do you have?

Will do, as this board is just for gaming, I just want something that I can maybe put a 3600 x refresh or a 3700x into in the next few years to perhaps give me a bit of an upgrade at some point when/if needed.The taichi is meant to take a 3900x without moaning.

Watch the gamer nexus x470 video and watch from the "below 200 bucks" part ongoing
Good question I admit. You can overclock with both as far as I understood it but the x470 has more connectors. More USB, more PCI lanes and whatever.Question i have is, what is the difference in getting an x470 vs a B450 for gaming and possibly streaming with a standard OC?
Take a good look at the AS-rock X470 Master.Oh yes, I always do a lot of comparisons. I need plenty of USB ports as have a headset, mouse, keyboard, steering wheel and pedals, plus a hard drive I plug in from time to time for backups etc.
I don't NEED a lot of ports, but I dont want to have to buy extra cards if i do require more.
Think I'll check the aorus out as they always have a ton of ports, especially USB 2.0 which I believe I need for my old skool Fanatec equipment
Budget?Take a good look at the AS-rock X470 Master.
It's usually a few dollars more than the Gigabyte but in my opinion, well wort it.
It is not as flashy as the Gigabyte but it has everything you'll need.
It also has great VRMs.
If I were in the market today for a good budget board, that'd be it.
Just had a look at the MSI website.The MSI b450 Tomahawk is almost the same price as the ASRock X470 Master here...
Only problem is that a lot of sellers here wont have updated the bios for the new CPUs yet...
