[Hamburgler-03]

Okay,
That's for all your help peoples. This is why I ask. I do not know what Intel and Apple are up to or Intel support
on future versions of OSX.

So let me clarify.

This is what I want.

CPU - Intel i7-10700K or i9-10900k ( 5ghz )
Motherboard - ?????
RAM - 64gb Speed ?????
Thunderbolt support
Lots of PCIe slots ( Wifi FENDI, SAS controller support, etc )
Video card - (1) PCIe slot for one card.

Purpose:
Music / Audio / Video workstation.

OS
OSX Mojave and BIG SUR Support.


So what I want to know is what is the latest best motherboard type that works with these requirements ?
( Under $300 )

As stated a long time ago the Z490 Vision G is your best choice right now if you have to stay under $300.

If you can go slightly over budget then try this Asus motherboard. There is also a Golden Build guide for it.

The ideal choice with TH3 onboard would be the Asus Z490 Creator but it goes way over your $300 limit.
Sells for $480 at Amazon right now. Maybe get a second job to cover the extra $180 ?

I know with 100% certainty. Intel support is coming to an end. It's the end of the road.

It's the end of the road.

Apple got tired of waiting for Intel to make a fast, power efficient chip that didn't overheat in laptops.
Can't blame them for that. Intel had plenty of chances.

Which one ?

Which one ?

Either the z490 Vision G or Asus Strix ROG z490.

Either the z490 Vision G or Asus Strix ROG z490.

Have a look at the QVL, ram support list on each vendor's website. That shows you the ram they have already tested and proven to work with that specific board. The easier way to decide is to buy what the author of each Golden Build used in their build. Takes away all the guess work.

Are you sure the Gigabyte z490 Vision G or Asus Strix ROG z490 will work with Mojave ?
