I am thinking about upgrading my motherboards, Any recommendations?

Depends on what you need. What CPU are you using?

I have a 13th-gen Intel, so I guess I need an LGA 1700 socket.

Yeah, you’ll need a Z690, Z790, or even a good B760 if you don’t care about overclocking.

What is the difference between Z and B series?

What is the difference between Z and B series?

Z-series boards allow CPU and RAM overclocking, have more PCIe lanes, and usually better power delivery. B-series are more budget-friendly but lack overclocking support for the CPU.

I see. I don’t plan on overclocking, so maybe a B760 is enough.

Yeah, unless you need extra features like more USB ports, PCIe 5.0, or better VRMs for stability.

Makes sense. What about brands? Any preference?

ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, and ASRock are all good. Just check VRMs, BIOS updates, and compatibility with your RAM.
