Which motherboard is recommended for the Ryzen 9 9950X processor?

Which motherboard is recommended for the Ryzen 9 9950X processor? The company assembling my computer responded that the Gigabyte X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7 (X870E A ELITE WIFI7) motherboard cannot be used with this processor because it is incompatible. Apparently, Gigabyte's support confirmed this to them. I’m unsure which motherboard AMD recommends for this processor. Perhaps a model from Asus or MSI? I would appreciate a recommendation.

Any b650 or x670 board over the 150 mark would do fine, but seeing as you got a 9950x I assume you do productivity work so the extra m.2 and usbs are helpful.

According to Gigabyte's Support CPU LIST for your Gigabyte AORUS ELITE WiFI7 Motherboard it does show that the Ryzen 9 9950X is compatible out of the box: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X870E-AORUS-ELITE-WIFI7/support#support-cpu

So I Don't know why the company building your PC said that Gigabyte Support said it was incompatible when it clearly showing on Gigabyte's own CPU LIST as being compatible with the Motherboard's original BIOS of F1.

 

EDIT: Sorry I didn't read all of the replies in this thread and saw that @Earnhardt mentioned the same thing as I just did in a previous reply.
