My motherboard quit recently, so I have been doing research to buy a new micro ATX board (I have an mATX case). Is it just me, or have mATX boards fallen out of favor recently? From what I've seen, I am down to one of three options, the Gigabyte Z390 M, the MSI PRO B360M PRO-VD, or the ASRock Z390M Pro4. First, does anyone have any of these boards? Have you had success with overclocking with these boards? Second, has anyone else noticed that manufacturers are moving to more ATX or mITX and not making as many mATX boards?
Lastly, since I need a new build, I know I could go with either Intel or AMD. I saw a Tech Showdown YouTube video on the i7 8th generation vs Ryzen 7 2700. The Ryzen chip only gets close to the performance of the i7 chip when it is overclocked vs. the stock speeds of the i7, so that's why I was going with an Intel board. I know I should check more than one reviewer, and I was going to wait for the new Ryzen 3000 chips, but my computer died earlier than expected. Any ideas on the three motherboards I mentioned? Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you.
