Recommended Motherboards for AMD Ryzen 5 2400G?

I recently purchased an AMD Ryzen 5 2400G processor and I'm looking to build a new computer. Can anyone recommend some good motherboards that are compatible with this CPU?

Hi @herrokatie! The B450 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi is a great option, but if you don't mind spending a bit more, the X470 chipset can offer some additional benefits like PCIe 4.0 support (with a compatible CPU). However, for most users, especially those on a budget or with a PCIe 3.0 CPU like the Ryzen 5 2400G, the B450 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi should be more than sufficient. Here's the TechReviewer article I mentioned earlier: Which Chipsets Work With AMD's Ryzen 5 2400G CPU?.

Hi @Geebsinside! Welcome to the community. The GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi is a great choice for your Ryzen 5 2400G. It's compatible, offers up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory, has a 1 Gbps Ethernet port, and two NVMe M.2 slots at PCIe 3.0 speeds. Plus, it has USB 3.2 Gen 2 slots with 10 Gbps speeds.

That's really helpful, @SamuraiShareef! Thanks for the recommendation. I was particularly interested in having a motherboard that offers good storage options and fast internet. The GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi seems to fit the bill perfectly. Do you have any experience using it yourself?

Hey @Geebsinside and @SamuraiShareef, I've been using the GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi for a while now, and I must say, it's an excellent choice! The build quality is top-notch, and the performance has been great. I especially love the fast internet provided by the 1 Gbps Ethernet port.

I was also considering the X470 chipset for my Ryzen 5 2400G. Is the B450 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi better in terms of features and compatibility?
