Motherboards: Your PC's Central Hub

What is a Motherboard?

Your computer's motherboard is the central hub of your computer, responsible for connecting and facilitating communication between key components such as the CPU, graphics card, memory, SSD, power supply, case, and systems ensuring everything communicates smoothly for optimal performance. Choosing the right motherboard depends on your needs and budget. This guide will break down the essentials to help you pick the perfect motherboard for your build!

Key Considerations for Choosing a Motherboard:

  • Compatibility: Ensure your chosen motherboard is compatible with your CPU (processor) from Intel or AMD and RAM (memory) type DDR5 or DDR4.
  • Form Factor: Motherboards come in different sizes, the popular sizes are ATX, mATX (Micro ATX), and mini-ITX impacting the size of your PC case. ATX size of PC case is the most common, offering ample space for expansion slots and future upgrade. Micro-ATX is perfect for compact builds, while Mini-ITX is ideal for space-constraint applications like HTPCs (Home Theater PCs).
  • Features: Consider features like built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, overclocking support (boosting CPU speed), and the number of USB ports and fan headers for customization.

PC Desktop Motherboard Options:

Intel Motherboards:

Intel motherboards utilize chipsets that manage communication between the CPU, memory, and other components. Popular chipsets include the Z790 B760, both supporting DDR5 and DDR4 PC RAMs and compatible with Intel's 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen CPUs.

AMD Motherboards:

AMD motherboards use chipsets for communicating High-end options like the X670/E and B650/E motherboards with AMD Ryzen 7000/8000 series CPUs and the newest 9000 series CPUs after BIOS update. In addition, AMD will be launching X870 motherboards in late September designed for highest end AM5 platforms supporting 9000 series CPUs . Budget-friendly options like the B550, X570 and B450 motherboards are still available supporting Ryzen 5000 series CPUs and DDR4 PC RAMs.

Introducing the X870 Series to AM5 Family:

AMD announced X870E and X870 Chipsets in June 2024. The X870 motherboard, set to release in late September, is a top-tier upgrade for enthusiasts seeking cutting-edge performance and futureproofing. It supports the latest processors with DDR5 memory for faster data speeds, PCIe 5.0 for double the bandwidth, and advanced cooling for stable overclocking. With robust power delivery and a rich array of features like USB 4.0, Wi-Fi 6E, and 10Gb Ethernet, it’s built to handle intensive gaming, content creation, and heavy multitasking. For those ready to elevate their system, the X870 offers smoother gameplay, faster workflows, and ensures compatibility with the next generation of hardware innovations.

Choosing the Right Motherboards to meet your needs:

  • Gamers: Prioritize features like multiple PCIe slots for graphics cards and high-speed memory support (DDR5) like ASUS ROG series motherboards.
  • Content Creators: Motherboards with plenty of USB ports for connecting external drives and overclocking capabilities for faster rendering times like ASUS Creator series Motherboards.
  • Everyday Users: A basic motherboard with core functionalities like reliable Wi-Fi and enough USB ports for peripherals is sufficient.

By understanding the key aspects of motherboards, you're well on your way to selecting the perfect one for your PC build. Explore Newegg's extensive selection of motherboards, from top brands like ASUS, GIGABYTE, MSI, and ASRock, to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget. Build Your Dream Machine with Newegg!
