5 Best AMD Motherboards in 2023

Specs:

• AMD B650 chipset
• 7600 MHz max OC memory clock speed
• 128 GB memory capacity
• ATX

Most users don’t really need to overclock or anything since AMD processors already do it automatically. And if you want a motherboard without the extra features you don’t even need on a practical basis, then the Asus TUF Gaming B650-PLUS WiFi should be the most cost-effective option.

It’s relatively affordable, comes in a mostly uniform black, and has a WiFi antenna and socket at the ready. It touts around that TUF lineup slogan of having military-grade components, but at least Asus can somehow back this up with its reputation for quality.

Specs:

• AMD X670 chipset
• 8000 MHz max OC memory clock speed
• 192 GB memory capacity
• ATX

There are those who might want the full Asus experience and pedigree when it comes to overclockability. In that regard, here’s Asus’ most accomplished and one of its most expensive enthusiast options for motherboards.

Take note of that whopping 8000 MHz max OC for memory. It’s certainly more than ready for the near future of RAM. Other than that, you get plenty of luxury features and the motherboard even has lovely RGB lighting on its VRMs.

• AMD X670 chipset
• 8000 MHz max OC memory clock speed
• 192 GB memory capacity
• ATX

X670 chipset motherboards are typically expensive, but Gigabyte with its engineering (and pricing) sorcery managed to whittle this down to almost a B650 chipset price tag. It still retains the hallmarks of most X670 motherboards and will definitely perform well in overclocking the memory.

Gigabyte was even thoughtful enough to include a 5-year warranty so you can be confident about this motherboard. Sadly, like most Gigabyte motherboards, you might need to update the bios for beefier CPUs and memory modules, but that’s an easy affair.

Specs:

• AMD B650M chipset
• 7200 MHz max OC memory clock speed
• 192 GB memory capacity
• mATX

Here’s an mATX board for anyone who’s building something smaller and more compact as a PC tower. the MSI Pro Series motherboards have always been solid options both for Intel and AMD. They’re also affordable and this one counts as our budget contender too.

Despite being micro-ATX, the board actually supports massive RAM capacity. Don’t expect it to overclock well. The VRMs on this thing are small and meek-looking.

Specs:

• AMD B650I chipset
• 7200 MHz max OC memory clock speed
• 96 GB memory capacity
• Mini-ITX

Going even smaller, you’d want something still robust enough for the job. In such cases, it’s best to go for MSI again since their budget boards are reputable and surprisingly durable.

The VRMs on this motherboard look solid enough and were it not for the measly two RAM slots, you’d mistake it for a high-end board. There’s also additional cooling for the SSD just below the CPU, which helps a bit in cramped casings.
