When you think of Sapphire you definitely think some of the best AMD graphics cards out there, I know that I do! If you didn’t know Sapphire has been making motherboards for a handful of years now, but you couldn’t get them here in the United States. Well that is all changing this year as they are bringing their motherboards to the US market! As a motherboard enthusiast I love this as I finally get access to these elusive boards and this of course gives the consumer another brand to look at instead of the main brands we all know and love. Today we are taking a look at the Sapphire NITRO+ B850A WIFI 7 motherboard which features a 12+2+1 power phase design, PCIe 5.0 support for your graphics and storage, support for high-speed memory up to 8000 MHz, and WiFi 7. It will be interesting to see how this board stacks up to the brands that dominate the US market.
Special thanks to Sapphire for providing us with the NITRO+ B850A WIFI 7 Motherboard to review.
