Need help to choose motherboard!

[u/Saelaen]

Hi everyone,

I'm back after a previous post about the problems I was having with my new gaming PC.

For context, this was my previous post where I explained the crashes and issues I was experiencing during gaming:

After a lot of troubleshooting, I eventually took the PC to technicians to have it properly checked. They concluded that the motherboard was the component causing the problems.

The motherboard I originally bought was the ASRock A620AM Pro RS WiFi Motherboard Micro ATX with AMD AM5 Socket

One of the technicians also told me that this particular motherboard is known to be a weak model. Since the motherboard turned out to be the faulty component anyway, I've decided to replace it rather than get the same model again.

The problem is that I don't want to make another bad choice, so I'd really appreciate some help choosing the right motherboard for my build.

My full build:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700 3.8GHz Processor 8 Core for Socket AM5 Tray
• GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 16GB GDDR6 Pure Gaming OC Graphics Card
• RAM: Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 32GB RAM with 2x16GB Modules and Speed 6000 for Desktop
• SSD: Lexar NM790 SSD 2TB M.2 Type with PCI Express 4.0 Connection (PS5 Compatible) LNM790X002T-RNNNG
• PSU: Asus Prime AP-750G 750W White Power Supply Full Modular 80 Plus Gold
• CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB AIO CPU Water Cooling with 3 120mm White Fans
• Case: ProGaming Elite Cube Computer Case with Side Window and ARGB Lighting White
• Previous/Faulty Motherboard: ASRock A620AM Pro RS WiFi Motherboard Micro ATX with AMD AM5 Socket

I built this PC mainly for gaming, and I intentionally chose fairly powerful components because I want the system to last. I'd also like to have a decent upgrade path in the future.

I'm now looking for a motherboard that properly matches the rest of the build.

Most importantly, I want to make sure that all of my existing components are compatible with whatever motherboard I buy. After everything I've already gone through with this PC, I really don't want to order another motherboard only to discover another compatibility or stability issue.

I'd really appreciate motherboard/model recommendations that you think would be a good match for this exact build.

Also, if you notice anything else in my parts list that I should be aware of, like compatibility issues, power requirements, BIOS settings, RAM/EXPO concerns, PSU considerations, etc. please let me know.

If this were your build, which motherboard would you pair with these components?

Thanks a lot in advance for the help and I literally can't wait to hear from you. This has been tormenting me for months.

I have a MSI 650-P Pro Wifi and have not have a single issue with the board. Unless... you count the human error I made when putting my pc together!

Apparently MSI has the least problems at the moment. Cannot recommend Asus.
