This page contains our recommendations for motherboards supporting all AMD CPUs and APUs, including the Ryzen AM4 socket and the high-end desktop (HEDT) TR4-equipped X399 motherboards for Threadripper CPUs.

Best AMD X470 Motherboard


The Racing X470GT8 makes an excellent case for Biostar’s claim of performance and overclocking value supremacy. The company understands that some enthusiasts just want performance, and that the key to performance often lies with overclocking. Buyers with those goals don’t tend an overloaded features set. Their money is better spent instead on a higher-end CPU and a big cooler to help push clock speeds to their limits. The Racing X470GT8 gets AMD fanatics there, without the increasingly niche Nvidia SLI support, which they might also find anathema as they shop for an AMD-based card to complete their build.

Best AMD B450 Motherboard


Motherboard makers love to load up tiny boards with high-end chipsets, but those boards often lack the bonus features that would have made the flagship chipset worthwhile. The Fatal1ty B450 Gaming-ITX/ac takes the opposite approach, offering most of the features of AMD’s lower-cost B450 chipset while retaining the overclockability associated with high-end motherboard models. That makes it a great option for Mini-ITX overclocking enthusiasts on a tight budget--or those who would just rather spend more on a better CPU or roomier, speedier storage.
