From largest to smallest, there’s ATX, Micro ATX and Mini-ITX. Motherboards come in three main sizes-for more info see our diagram and explanation of motherboard parts. Smaller boards = fewer slots and features.
The latest mainstream AMD chips use AM5 CPU sockets, while Intel's 12th Gen (Alder Lake) 13th Gen (Raptor Lake) CPUs use the LGA 1700 socket. But whatever processor you choose, make sure that your board has the correct socket to support it. You can find great CPUs from either Intel or AMD. When choosing a motherboard, consider the following: Why you can trust Tom's Hardware Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Most (probably all) new AMD processors will be released on the new AM5 socket/platform, solely with DDR5 support. Just know that if you opt for an AM4 motherboard now, you are buying into a dead-end last-gen platform. Last-gen Ryzen 5000 processors and AM4 motherboards are still capable performers, and enticingly affordable. That said, more affordable AM5 options have been launched lately. Still, if you don't need the best performance possible, you may want to stick with AM4 since most AMD Ryzen 7000 motherboards are quite expensive compared to previous-gen boards from both AMD and Intel. Just note that we won't be updating those pages now that AM4 is now a legacy platform. For more on that front, especially if you're after an older AM4 board, you can check out our dedicated pages for the best X570 motherboards and best B550 motherboards for more specific tested recommendations and picks. The best gaming motherboards for AMD CPUs (including Ryzen 70) follow our Intel picks below. You'll find our recommendations below for the best motherboards for Z790, Z690, B660 and H610. The picks below start with recent Intel motherboards (with AMD motherboards further down), including the best gaming motherboards designed for Intel's latest 13th Gen "Alder Lake" and 12th Gen " Raptor Lake" CPUs, as well as older 11th Gen "Rocket Lake" processors. If you’re unsure which motherboard chipset you’re after when choosing the best motherboard for gaming, or you have other questions that aren't addressed here, you can visit our motherboard basics page and our motherboard buying guide to narrow your focus and options.
