Need recommendation on motherboard for a new Linux system
by hajnyckel from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5ADG6)
Hello LQ
I do hope this is the right forum for this, if not please let me know and I will remove it and post it at the right place.
I am looking into geting my self a new home computer and I am looking at an AMD system as I will be running Linux as the main OS. The CPU will be the Ryzen 5 5600X or Ryzen 7 5800X, for memory I I will go with G.Skill (2x8GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL16 Ripjaws V. For the GPU I am waiting for AMD's new Radeon 6000 series and see how they perform. However I cannot decide on a motherboard and i am looking at the B550 chipset. I tried google about a boards that have Linux support 'out of the box' and it seems like most of the bords does just that, though I did read something about temperature sensors on the Gigabyte boards that does not have Linux support (cannot find the link at this time) so I thought I would ask you guys which have more knowledge then me on the subject. I do think that the CPU temperature is important and a surprises such as this I would like to avoid. So, what do you guys recommend?
This is just a pointer for what I am looking at and of course all suggestions are welcome.
B550
PCI-E 4, 16X (One port minimum)
PCI-E 4, 1x (One port minimum)
6 SATA-3 ports (Minimum)
1 M.2 disk support (Minimum)
USB 3.1 gen 2 (Few ports minimum)
RGB (Preferably not)
Wireless and Bluetooth (not required)
I am not in a hurry to acquire components right now as the Radeon 6000 series have not been released yet and the Ryzen processors are all sold out, given this I am waiting until sometime in January February next year.
Kind regards
