Remember Intel processors (CPU) works only with Intel boards that have an intel chipset (Ex: ASUS ROG Strix Z490-E Gaming). If you insert AMD CPU into intel motherboard it won&#8217;t work. The same case is with AMD motherboards (Ex: ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming). It cannot run intel CPUs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ent-17\">You also need to look out for CPU generations. not all CPUs work with all motherboards. Refer to the below table where it is explained. AMD Ryzen 1000 series CPU&#8217;s are supported till X450 series boards. AMD Ryzen 2000 series processors and specific AMD Ryzen 3000 series processors with Radeon Graphics are supported till the X570 motherboard model. AMD gained popularity as they always listened to their customers. Customers who bought the older model of motherboards could enjoy buying newer processor models by having previous-gen support. Now AMD has launched its 4th generation Zen 3 motherboards which support the new Ryzen 5000 series and people who had bought the B450 board earlier can install new 5000 series CPUs post updating BIOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>1st Generation Zen<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; Ryzen 1000 series.

In other words, you will save some money my friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_Need_an_expensive_motherboard\"><\/span>Do I Need an expensive motherboard?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is NO!! expensive doesn&#8217;t mean they will give a god-like performance. It is just that they have more features compared to lower price points. This is where model names come into the picture. Form factor (size of the motherboard) also matters while deciding motherboards.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.PCMRlabs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Mother-board-Types_V2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.PCMRlabs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Mother-board-Types_V2.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.PCMRlabs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Mother-board-Types_V2-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.PCMRlabs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Mother-board-Types_V2-768x427.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>ATX motherboards are commonly used for building PC. In case you want a smaller computer case you can pick up Micro ATX or Mini ATX without sacrificing performance. In terms of price, ATX motherboards are mid-pricepoint boards. MicroATX boards are cheaper compared to ATX boards. Interestingly Mini ITX boards are sold at a premium price given their size. If you talk about EATX boards, they offer more slots &amp; features compared to other motherboards. EATX is sold at a premium price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"List_of_Best_Gaming_Motherboards_In_The_Market_which_you_can_buy\"><\/span>List of Best Gaming Motherboards In The Market which you can buy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Best Intel motherboards of 2021<\/strong><ul><li>Best Intel Z490 series motherboards<\/li><li>Best Intel B460 series motherboards<\/li><li>Best Intel Z390 series motherboards<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Best AMD motherboards of 2021<\/strong><ul><li>Best B450 series motherboards<\/li><li>Best X570 series motherboards<\/li><li>Best B550 series motherboards<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Intel_Z490_series_motherboards\"><\/span>Best Intel Z490 series motherboards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Asus_ROG_Maximus_XII_Extreme\"><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmrlabs.com\/asus-rog-maximus-xii-extreme\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#1.
