Top 10 The best motherboards. What motherboard is better - the subtlety of the system board selection for specific tasks. MSI motherboards based on AMD chipsets

Best motherboard | Introduction

Best motherboard | Intel LGA-1151

This page provides our guidelines for the choice of motherboard for Intel processors under the most massive LGA-1151 connector, including the fees for chips for the 9th generation Coffee Lake Refresh, boards at the Z370 chipset for the 8th generation of Coffee Lake chips and their more affordable alternative on the H370 chipset. To find out our recommendations for fees for Intel processors High-End class under the LGA-2066 connector on X299 chipsets, go to the next page. Our recommendations for choosing system boards for AMD processors are collected on the third page.

Choose the correct connector for your processor. You can find an excellent processor both from AMD and from Intel, but regardless of your choice, make sure that your card is set to the correct connector that supports this processor. Modern mass AMD chips are used by the AM4 connector, and Intel starting from the 8th generation - LGA 1151V2.

The smaller the board, the less slots and functions. Motherboards are available in three major form factors, from large to small: ATX, Micro-ATX and MINI-ITX (Yes, mini in this case are less than micro). For the construction of a compact PC you can take a miniature fee, but then you will have to come to terms with a smaller number of slots PCI EXPRESS., Slots for RAM and other connectors.

You can spend less than 7,000 rubles. You can find a good motherboard at a price below 7000 rubles, but if you need to overclock the Intel processors or if you need many ports, you will have to spend a large amount, usually up to 15,000 rubles. For High-End processors, such as AMD ThreadRipper, expensive fees are needed from 25,000 rubles and higher.

Pay for the built-in Wi-Fi and expensive controllers only if you need them. Do not waste extra money on a Wi-Fi controller if you use wired connection. At the same time, USB 3.1 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt 3 support can pay off in the future.

An actual motivation forcing the purchase of a new computer, this year the video card was made. AMD and NVIDIA have released three models (inaccessible in Russia Titan X do not take into account), which intersect only in the case of Radeon RX 480 and GeForce GTX 1060 (Middle-End). In the rest price segments It is preferable to either "red" adapters (low-end), or "green" (high-end). Competition on all fronts is postponed until autumn.

Unhealthy trend. Prices for iron for the allotted period of time again crawled up. Some builds because of this have changed for the worse. If you still have not decided to buy a new computer, then at least decide on the platform: motherboard, processor and rapid memory.

Last month, the Radeon R7 360 video card was answered for the schedule in the starting assembly. With this level adapter, you can play many modern games in resolving Full HD with medium graphics quality settings. For example, in Battlefield 4 with the preset Medium you will get the average 50-60 FPS.

But do not rush to take Radeon R7 360. On August 8th, the Radeon RX 460 will finally go on sale, which at the price of about $ 100 will receive the RADEON R7 370 level performance (review). How much will be asked for "four hundred and sixth" in Russia - unknown. But I recommend for cheap assemblies of 2016 to focus on it. On version with 4 GB of memory.

Otherwise, the starting assembly has not changed any changes. The option with AMD is more expensive. To reduce it as much as possible, it will have to take FX-6300 instead of FX-8320E (6500 rubles).

Basic assembly - ~ 50 000 rubles

Decays on the FX-8350, which was used in the base assembly last month, is no longer enough. I took the model easier, but with the possibility of overclocking it makes sense at all to buy the cheapest 8-nuclear AMD. Practice shows that they will all stably chase to 4500 MHz. In this case, much depends on the quality of the motherboard. Checked ASUS M5A97 R2.0. She is lying.

Acceleration processors Intel Skylake. It is also possible, but only a special matplat is needed. It is in the area of \u200b\u200b8,000 rubles. If it is interesting to you, then I ask you to study the appropriate. If briefly, I conducted an experiment in which Core i5-6400 dispersed to absolutely stable 4.9 GHz.

The recommended price of the RADEON RX 480 and GeForce GTX 1060 is 19,000 rubles. There are cards in the Moscow retail, but on average there are 3000 rubles more than the announced price. I hope that the cost of accelerators is at least a little bit, but will decrease. Radeon RX 480 is not available only in the middle / end of August. The reference version (Founders Edition) GeForce GTX 1060 will not be in Russia. Custom only. There are already expensive versions of Pascal video cards. For example, MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G (review, 24 000 rub.). When choosing NVIDIA nonsense, do not look at frequencies. All GeForce on Pascal chips will chase approximately equally: up to 2000 MHz on the chip. The main criteria for buying GeForce GTX 1060/1070/1080 is the price, cooling efficiency and noise level.

Optimal assembly - ~ 75 000 rubles

The optimal system cost ~ 75,000 rubles will allow the user to play modern computer games up to 1440p permission with the maximum graphics quality settings.

To accommodate in advance marked budget, I had to abandon SSD. Last month I offered to invest in solid State Drive volume of 120-128 GB. In order for the operating system and all major programs be loaded in seconds. Nevertheless, I believe that with an increase in the price of components, it is better to invest in the main components. And buying SSD to pamper yourself next time. For example, for the new year!

And so the assembly turned out to be excellent. GeForce GTX 1070 "grinds" any modern games on "maxiators" both in the resolution of Full HD and in WQHD. In case of aMD platform The acceleration of the central processor is a vital occupation. If you want to reveal the entire potential of the adapter, of course. Read more The question of processor-dependence is considered in this article.

If anything, then I always spell out for the acceleration of non-erotic chips Intel Skylake. This is a profitable lesson. There are pitfalls, but in most cases the game is worth a candle. The budget for the Z170 fee is enough, but you have to choose among budget boards. If acceleration is not planned, that is, it makes sense to take either a cheaper maternity on the B150 / H170 Express logic, or for the same money to purchase a device with better network and sound controllers.

Advanced assembly - ~ 100 000 rubles

Advanced system will allow the user to play modern computer games up to 1440p permission with maximum graphics quality settings.

In principle, replacing in the optimal assembly of GeForce GTX 1070 on the GeForce GTX 1080, you will get another advanced assembly, which will be even faster in games. In this case, you will definitely have to overclock Core i5. At least up to 4.5 GHz. But I suggest to invest in Core i7 time allows the budget. GEFORCE GTX 1070 power for Full HD is enough for a long time, platform (fee, processor, memory) is another longer. With Core i7 (if you wish - overclocked), you eventually install, for example, the second video card. Or will acquire another novelty: GeForce GTX 1270 or as it will be called a few years later. The proposed boards on the Z170 chipset is better functionality. Plus, the assembly involves better cooling, housing, nutrition and, of course, a solid-state drive of 240-256 GB.

If the computer is used, including to work in resource-intensive applications, then Core i7-6700 is preferable to Core i5-6600.

The only alternative to the LGA1151 platform and the Core i7-6700K processor in particular is only LGA2011-V3 and Core i7-5820K / 6800K chips. But here they are noticeable more expensive. Core i7-5820k is an average estimated at 30,000 rubles, Core i7-6800K - 35,000 rubles. But still have to buy a more expensive fee on the X99 Express logic. Overpay for six nuclei and, accordingly, 12 threads make sense if you use a computer not only for entertainment. In other cases, Core i7-6700k copes even with two GeForce GTX 1080 in SLI mode in the Ultra HD resolution. Verified personally.

What should I pay attention to when buying motherboards? The first is its size. Currently, MINI-ITX form factor are the most common (17 × 17 cm), Micro-ATX (24.4 × 24.4 cm) and ATX (30.5 x 24.4 cm). In the optimal case, the motherboard form factor must coincide with the size of the housing, but the larger housings provide quite often, ensuring better cooling of components.

The second, what should be remembered when choosing a motherboard - compatibility with your central processor. For Intel and AMD chips, as well as various generations of these processors, there are various connectors (sockets) in which they are inserted.

For current Intel chips, two sockets are currently used - LGA 1151 and LGA 2011-V3, for AMD - FM2 + and AM3 +. It should be borne in mind that it is not only that the processor should be physically compatible with the connector. Before buying, be sure to make sure that the BIOS / UEFI motherboard also supports the processor you chose.

If you want to equip your PC with a large number of RAM, pay attention to the number of relevant slots - there must be four on the motherboard. There are models that do not insert more than two slats. Among other important technical characteristicsTo pay attention to - the presence of USB ports 3.0, slot M.2 for SSD drives and RAID support. Chip editors have chosen several excellent motherboards for Intel and AMD processors.

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII EXTREME GAMING: Equipment of the Lux class at the appropriate price.

LGA 1151: motherboards for Skylake

For the Skylake family processors, Intel docled the LGA 1151 socket. It combines various chipsets on motherboards. Cheap models - with a B150 chipset or even more "trimmed" H110. In this case, there are no such functionality as USB 3.1 and RAID.

In addition, you have to do only two slots for RAM. However, the basic equipment of the board with these sockets is offered quite solid - SATA 6 Gb / s, USB 3.0 and a gigabit LAN-port. Examples of such motherboards are or ASUS B150I- Pro Gaming. .

It is completely different - the Z170 chipset, which is the recommended choice for gamers, enthusiasts and lovers of acceleration of Skylake processors. It can be found on ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII EXTREME GAMING. The cost of this motherboard is extremely high, but in the equipment list, there is everything that can currently be: 4 USB 3.1 ports, RAID SATA 6 Gb / s, support for SSD M.2 and 4 slots for DDR4 RAM4 RAM.

Motherboard with LGA 1151 socket:

ASRock X99m Extreme4.: Motherboards with X99 chipset relative expensive, but equipped very well.

LGA 2011-v3: motherboards for Haswell-E

The LGA 2011-V3 socket refers to the top segment and compatible with powerful expensive processors of the Haswell-E family produced by Intel. It can work with Core processors for desktop computersThat contains up to 8 cores and with Xeon server processors, which can have up to 18 cores. In this case, Intel makes it possible to choose between two chipsets - x99 and C612.

To the one who does not plan to build a server based on xeon processorsIt will correctly choose the X99 chipset. But be careful: these things are expensive. Such a model as ASRock X99m Extreme4. It costs about 15,000 rubles, but she has a rather generous equipment. In particular, you can set to a computer up to 128 GB of RAM.

In addition, there are 10 interfaces SATA 6 Gbps, RAID and a quick slot M.2 for SSD drives. Even more opportunities you will get with ASUS X99-E: In particular, we note the presence of 2 USB ports 3.1, 14 USB ports 3.0, 2 gigabit ethernet ports and 8 slots for RAM.

Motherboards with LGA 2011-v3 socket:

MSI H81M-P33 Plus: Very affordable motherboard.

LGA 1150: Motherboards for Broadwell and Haswell

Socket LGA 1150 for company processors Intel generations Haswell and Broadwell (4th and 5th Core generation) is no longer relevant. His official heir is LGA 1151 for Skylake processors. However, look at motherboards with this connector is still worth it, because now there are very profitable offer, the example of which can serve MSI H81M-P33 Plus, worth less than 4000 rubles. Of course, such a favorable purchase entails compromises: here only 2 slots for RAM and the number of USB and SATA ports is strongly limited.

Caution when choosing a chipset is always needed. For example, C222 is designed for server solutions and used in Gigabyte GA-6LASL. Top socket for desktop computers is the Z97, which is installed in MSI Z97A Gaming 6. Among the main characteristics of the equipment of this motherboard are USB ports 3.1 and TYP-C, slots M.2 and RAID support.

Motherboards with LGA 1150 socket:

ASRock FM2A68M-HD +: AMD systems are well suited primarily for inexpensive projects.

Motherboards with FM2 + and AM3 + sockets

Intel dominates the processors in the processor market, but the AMD should not be written off in any way. Outtop rival 1150 and 1151 from AMD camp is FM2 +. At the same time, in the Technical Plan, the AMD representative turns out to be in a not very advantageous position: for example, the standard memory of the standard is only DDR3, the processor may have no more than 4 cores, and the maximum uSB standard Port is 3.0. But the integrated schedule is good, and the motherboard with such a chipset is very attractive in terms of prices. One example - ASRock FM2A68M-HD +.

Another option from AMD is AM3 + Socket. In a short time, it must be replaced so that you can talk about the same level with Intel. Available acquisitions with AM3 + Currently can be ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0 or ASUS M5A78L-M. It is important to remember that the PCI Express 2.0 bus is used here, which can be compared with the system integrated into the system.
