AMD X870 Chipset
For high-performance customization, build your PC with an AMD X670 motherboard for AMD Ryzen™ 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series processors. Fully overclockable, with USB 4.0 onboard, faster dual-channel DDR5 memory support, AMD EXPO™ technology and PCIe® 5.0 support for NVMes, set yourself up for extreme gaming and creating with an X870 motherboard.
As many enthusiasts have noticed, compared to the AMD 600 series chipsets, the X870/X870E chipset offers nothing new besides USB4 support. It’s still a good design that is fully satisfying for most users. In this case, users should focus on motherboard features, which have improved since the last generation. As usual, it depends on the model and how much money we will spend.
