Best Motherboard Pair for AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 1700?

I'm looking for the best motherboard to pair with my new AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 1700. Can you guys recommend any good options? I've heard that AMD processors are better when paired with specific motherboards, so I'd love some input.

@VaporWerxUSA Sure thing! When it comes to pairing with the Ryzen 7 Pro 1700, you'll want a motherboard with an AM4 socket and a compatible chipset. The X470 and B450 chipsets are our recommended choices for this CPU.

To add to what @conrob95 said, I've had great experiences with GIGABYTE motherboards. They're known for their quality and reliability. Their B450 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi is an excellent choice for the Ryzen 7 Pro 1700. Check it out on TechReviewer's article: Choosing the Best Motherboard for AMD's Ryzen 7 Pro 1700.

@Moose1956 Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely check that out. What are your thoughts on the number of USB ports and speeds? I need a motherboard with enough high-speed ports for my various devices.

Another factor you might want to consider when choosing a motherboard for your AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 1700 is PCIe expansion slots. Depending on your future upgrades and projects, having enough room for additional cards can be crucial.

@Chreativ, @DragonWang Thanks for the input! It seems like the GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi might be a great fit for my needs. What about storage options? I'd also like to have an adequate number of M.2 slots and SATA ports.

In terms of storage, the GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi offers two NVMe M.2 slots and plenty of SATA ports for your needs. You'll be able to expand your storage setup with this motherboard without any issues.

@Moose1956 Awesome! That's great to know. One last question, does the microATX form factor work well for a full-sized ATX case?

Yes, @VaporWerxUSA, the microATX form factor is compatible with full-size ATX cases. You won't have any issues mounting it in your case.

Thank you all for the advice! I think I'll go with the GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi. It seems like the perfect fit for my AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 1700 and my needs.
