ASRock’s Z590 Taichi is a well-rounded premium mid-range motherboard, with more-than-capable power delivery, Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports, three M.2 sockets, Intel- and Killer-based networking, including Wi-Fi 6E.

Selling for around $280, the Vision G is a reasonably affordable option for creators to jump on the Z590 platform. With four M.2 sockets and six SATA ports, plus Thunderbolt/VisionLink, you’ll be hard-pressed to find another board like it without spending more.

The ASRock Z590 Steel Legend WiFi 6E is an inexpensive yet capable Rocket Lake board that should handle any ambiently cooled CPU you can throw at it. It packs integrated Wi-Fi 6E, three M.2 sockets and six SATA ports. This roughly $210 board looks to be a well-rounded option to jump into Intel’s latest platform.

MSI’s MEG Z490 Unify is a plain-looking, but premium, motherboard for Intel-PC upgraders and builders who prefer to shun LEDs, or are building into a zero-visibility chassis.

The Asus Prime Z490-A is a stable and worthwhile ATX board to build an Intel 10th Generation Core system on, but you can find better buys in its price range.

The ASRock B550 Taichi -- and other B550 boards priced close to $300 -- are in a peculiar space. While the B550 Taichi looks the part and is, by most accounts, a premium motherboard, it still isn’t X570. But if you are willing to shell out $300 for a B550 motherboard, the Taichi has that high-end look, performs well, and brings enough features to stand with its peers.

The Asus ROG Maximus XII Hero brings users a slew of modern connectivity, including three heatsinked M.2 slots, a USB 3.2 Gen2 (20 Gbps) Type-C port, high-quality power delivery, and CrossfireX/SLI support. Its performance also matches other similar boards and is a good solution for those in the sub $400 market, though the other boards we looked at have similar features and are priced less.

At $589.99, the ASRock Z690 Taichi sports an overbuilt VRM, three M.2 sockets, Thunderbolt 4 ports, 2.5 GbE with Wi-Fi 6E and an updated appearance. If you’re in the market for a sub-$600 board and the three M.2 sockets or price point aren’t prohibitive, the Z690 Taichi is a solid option to build your system around.

Gigabyte’s A620M Gaming X is an extreme budget option for AM5. While delivering the basics, it lacks PCIe 5.0 support all around, because A620 is more limited than higher-end AMD chipsets. It performed well in lighter tests and gaming, but was slower than average in heavily multi-threaded operations with our Ryzen 9.

ASRock's B650E Steel Legend WiFi is among the least-expensive AM5 motherboards equipped with a PCI Express 5.0 x16 slot. If you don't need that slot, though, you can find better-equipped platforms without one in the same price range.
