Out of the box works with Ryzen 5 3600
Great entry level board has all the nice little features you could need. Only B450 chipset but works flawlessly with the Ryzen 3 chips
Worked straight out of the box with Ryzen 3600x. Supports 3200mhz DDR4 as long as you change to "profile 1" in the BIOS. A quick Google does the trick! Perfect board for a standard build.
Does what a motherboard needs to do. Looks good without being over the top. Lighting is a nice touch.
Would be nice if it had a usb-c header, but it has usb-c on the rear so it's not much of an issue
this motherboard is good looking and affordable. might support 5th gen ryzen.
Have put this into a new budget build with a Ryzen 5 3600, worked out of the box no BIOS update needed. However there was a small amount of aesthetic damage to the PCB (looked like a small watermark) but everything is running fine.
Good mobo and runs 3rd gen ryzen fine with no bios system updates needed
Good motherboard for someone who isnt looking to spend too much. However you can build a pretty decent system out of this.
Nice looking board with alot going on .
This is going to suit my next build well.
Has crossfire support for two GPU'S .
Supports many Ryzen CPU's up to 8 cores ..
Good value for price .
Not sure if it will cope with the upcoming AMD 5000 CPU's , will have to wait and see .
I am still purchasing the parts for this build so cannot give a full rundown on performance .
All in all great board for the cost .
Keep an eye on it ,if you use a " RYZEN 7 3700X CPU ",you have to update first the BIOS for the motherboard,otherwise the motherboard is not working ,I was very lucky that update the motherboard through my old "RYZEN 5 1600X CPU". When update was done changed the CPU for the new " RYZEN 7 3700X" and computer started up straight away.
PB tech told me there was no need to update the BIOS,should work direct out the box,not in my case.
That's why I give only 3 points.
Does what it's meant to. Another usb plug or two wouldn't go a stray
Excellent value
