Solve : B550 vs X570?

Answer»

Hello.
I'm looking to switch to AMD and I know that the recent Ryzen CPUs use the AM4 socket. There are all these DIFFERENT chipsets but two that seem recent are the B550 and the X570. What are the differences in capabilities of these two, and is there a price difference?B550 offers one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (usually used for the GPU) and one PCIe 4.0 m.2 slot (usually used for an NVMe SSD).

You would NEED x570 if

  • you need to do heavy overclocking - x570 has beefier VRM
  • you need MULTIPLE PCIe 4.0 GPUs
  • you need multiple PCIe 4.0 m.2 NVMe SSDs
  • you need to connect a ton of SATA SSDs (max 8 )

In general, if you're not sure if you need it, you don't - and you should get the B550.
