BEST NEW GAMING MOTHERBOARDS THAT SUPPORT DDR5 RAM :
1. The Asus ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming is one of our favorite motherboards for AMD Ryzen 7000 processors. It has full DDR5 support, PCIe 5.0 support on the main PCI slot, as well as an additional three PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD slots. It’s slightly on the expensive side of the motherboard market but it’s worth the price if you’re able to take advantage of the array of features. An 18+2 VRM configuration for power delivery is also superb for overclocking the best AMD CPUs with DDR5 RAM.
2.For Intel processors, we’d recommend the MSI MPG Z790 Carbon WiFi for 12th and 13th Gen chips. The processors support both DDR4 and DDR5 RAM, but we’d go with the latest and greatest in system memory now that the generation has had some time to mature. Performance is superior to DDR4 and the MPG Z790 Carbon WiFi is a solid foundation for a PC. We included it in our collection of the best Intel motherboards. It has PCIe 5.0 support on the main PCI slot and some of the M.2 slots too.
3.A great alternative motherboard for AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors is the Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite AX. It’s more affordable than the Asus motherboard we’d recommend as our top pick, but still manages to support lightning-fast DDR5 RAM and even has a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot for SSDs. The power delivery isn’t quite as robust as more premium options, including the aforementioned Asus board, but it’s more than enough for handling even the most power-hungry AMD chip.
4. A solid runner-up for Intel fans is the Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Hero. It’s similar to our AMD top pick in that it supports DDR5 RAM, PCIe 5.0 support for the main expansion slot and a few M.2 slots, and has a reliable 20+1 phase power delivery design. This enables the motherboard to be used as a stable overclocking bench for even an Intel Core i9-13900K, taking full advantage of the performance headroom with DDR5 RAM.
5.It’s not a requirement to spend a lot of money on an AMD motherboard to enjoy DDR5 support. The Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus is a more affordable foundation for a capable PC build without sacrificing too many features. We wouldn’t recommend pushing the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X too hard with this board, but it’s more than good enough for a high-end gaming machine with DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 support across the board.
