Looking for motherboard recommendations for a 14400F build,more specifically B760 boards that support DDR4.

Upon checking with various popular retailers like vedant computers etc,i could only find very few options that fit this criteria.

Most of the b760 ddr4 boards that are still available are very basic and have little to no VRM cooling (such as the MSI pro B760M-P DDR4).I found another board called the Gigabyte B760M Gaming AC DDR4 which has a thin heatsink on its VRMs.

Which of these two will be best suited for this CPU? Will pairing this cpu with these boards likely to cause any thermal throttling or reduced performance during gaming or other cpu intensive workloads??

Actually a lot of them are available online., if you're open to buying from them.

MDComputers has the ASRock B760M PG Lightning WIFI and MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WIFI
PrimeABGB has Gigabyte B760 Aorus Elite, and B760M Steel Legend

Edit: I didn't pay attention to your DDR4 requirement - the B760M PG Lightning, Gigabyte B760M X AX DD4 Wifi 6E, and B760M K V2 are DDR4. Only the first two have proper heatsinks.

Try going through their sites if you wish.

yes,we are considering the Gigabyte B760M X AX DD4 Wifi 6E as its build quality appears to be good.
