You're going to want the best motherboards for your PC build to get the most out of your components. Depending on your budget, available size support, and which CPU you plan on choosing, there's a good selection of boards out there. Here's a collection of our favorite motherboards for the Corsair 275R Airflow.
Best for AMD
Rocking a fantastic chipset, the ASUS ROG Strix X570-E is a great motherboard for any Ryzen 3000 or 5000 Series CPU. You can install plenty of RAM and take advantage of the excellent stability and build quality.
Best for Intel
The Z590 is an excellent chipset for new Intel-powered PC builds, and this motherboard from ASUS has it all at a solid price. Whether you're going with 10th or 11th Gen from intel, this is a solid foundation for your Corsair 275R Airflow gaming PC.
Best budget AMD
Don't let the price tag fool you into thinking this motherboard isn't worth considering for budget-orientated builds. It's powered by the AMD B550 chipset and has plenty going for it. There's even a good enough power delivery design here for a Ryzen 9 processor.
Best AMD ITX
The X570 chipset and Mini-ITX form factor allow you to install this board inside a toaster. It'll handle even the more powerful processors, including the AMD Ryzen 9. This is a great option for a sleeper build inside the Corsair 275R Airflow case.
Best Intel ITX
The Corsair 275R Airflow is a great compact case in that it doesn't require an ITX motherboard, but if you really want to use one with an Intel CPU, the MSI MEG Z590I UNIFY is a solid choice. This is a seriously compact motherboard but still manages to support DDR4-5333MHz RAM, PCIe 4.0, Thunderbolt 3, 2.5Gb LAN, and Wi-Fi 6.

We're fans of the Corsair 275R Airflow for its excellent value and thermal performance. This case can support up to ATX motherboards, and we'd recommend AMD and Intel processor owners go with the ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming and ASUS ROG Strix Z590-E Gaming, respectively. These are largely the same board from ASUS but with an AMD or Intel chipset, as well as a few other minor differences.
You can go with a more affordable motherboard and still have an excellent time without stability issues, so long as you don't go overboard with overclocking. The ASUS TUF Gaming B550-PLUS and ASUS PRIME Z590M-PLUS are great choices for those on a tighter budget.
