Help me check if there are USB-C ports

@comcom


The way to answer these questions is to download the manuals.
ALL motherboard manuals show all the motherboard connectors and the back panel connectors.


Like for the TUF motherboard... the manual says this... (this is a 20 pin connector)




If the case has USB-C connectors on the front... you will just plug the cable in this motherboard connector.
If you buy a USB-C connector for the back... you plug it in here, also.



You can buy things like this...

Amazon.com: LINKUP - USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20Gbps USB-C Type Internal Panel Cable Mount Motherboard Header Extension Adapter┃20-Pin A-Key Male with Cover to USB-C Female Connector with PCI Bracket - 40cm : Electronics


If your case doesn't have a USB-C front panel connector, you can buy something like this...

Amazon.com: Kingwin Powered USB Hub 3.0 w/ 1 USB-C Port, SD Card Reader & Micro SD Card Reader - Sata Power Port w/Lightning Speed Data Transfer Up to 5Gbps - 5.25" Computer Case Front Bay, black (KW525-3U3CR) : Electronics



You can also just buy cases and motherboards with USB-C connectors.




Here... this motherboard has front panel and rear panel USB-C connectors...

AND... it has a rear panel Clear CMOS button and a BIOS Flashback button.

If you want the bells and whistles... get the latest chipset in the series.
In this case... the X670 or X670E chipset motherboards.
The ASUS/AMD motherboards like X660 or X650 won't have as many bells and whistles, etc.

When the chipset numbers start to drop... they are taking things... away from the motherboard.


When you buy a motherboard... any kind... you're buying the "chipset".

Here's a Micro-ATX motherboard with front and rear USB-C...

I intend to use AMD Ryzen 5600 or 5600X CPU, where/how can I check if the motherboard model is compatible?

The manufacturers website would tell you all you need to know.

In pcpartpicker.com where do you see if the motherboard has front or rear USB-C?

As I said above... check the manual to be sure. I didn't see anywhere on PCPartPicker to filter for USB-C motherboards.
They did have that option for cases though.


The 5600 or 5600X are AM4 socket CPUs. Get a CPU for an AM5 socket instead.
There's no point in an AM4 build anymore. Already, DDR4 RAM is starting to go out of stock in most places.

Also... look at "how many" 5 star reviews there are for anything you intend to buy...
The CPUs with the lower TDP wattage, will run cooler and so need less cooling.

"There's no point in an AM4 build anymore." Why do you say this?

AM4 is cheaper, motherboard, CPU, ram are cheaper.

The decision is yours ofc, but when a new chipset comes out.... the older chipset hardware gets harder to find and because of this, the price goes UP.
Ofc there are other considerations as well. DDR5 RAM operates at a much higher frequency, than DDR4 RAM.
The CPUs are faster and have a higher boost speed as well.
Last but not least... the chipset itself will have more bells and whistles, than the older chipsets.
