Best Motherboards for AMD Ryzen 7 3800X in 2020

Why are we recommending an X470 motherboard when there's a newer chipset out? Well, this is one fantastic motherboard, and it supports the latest Ryzen 3000 series processors. It's also excellent value too if you don't want Wi-Fi 6 and PCIe 4.0.

If you don't want to settle with X470, a motherboard with the X570 chipset is the ideal match for the Ryzen 7 3800X CPU. It supports PCIe 4.0, Wi-Fi 6, and comes rocking Gen 4 M.2 slots with transfer speeds up to 64 GB/s.

The X470 may be last-gen, but so too is the B450 chipset. Still, it's a solid platform, and this ASRock motherboard even supports Ryzen 3000 CPUs, allowing you to save some money, but retain the ability to overclock the processor.

This is about as budget-friendly as you're going to get with X570 motherboards. You're not losing much in terms of functionality, however, as this ASUS board comes rocking plenty of features and substantial VRM heatsinks for better system stability.

Should you be an enthusiast or want the very best X570 has to offer, the ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Formula is a ridiculous board, reflected in the price. It's perfect for the Ryzen 7 3800X with plenty of features, including a heatsink block that can be connected to your custom water-cooling loop.
