Is this guy playing life in Big Head Mode?
I'll deciding between Gigabyte GA-AB350-GAMING 3 ATX and ASUS Prime B350 Plus ATX. It's more for productivity then gaming; ToonBoom Harmony and Adobe software etc.
You pick whatever board is in stock at the moment.
Chips everywhere, no damn boards, and the ones that are, are full of bugs.
...(cough)...ASUS' only...(cough)...
which is sad as I wanted that asus crosshair vi for the crapton of usbs.
so MSI AM4 B350 Tomahawk Gaming Arsenal Mainboard
good?
or u jus buy the cpu and wait a cople weeks to buy a new released mobo
Mine works fine, although until memory issues get fixed with bios updates, 2666 is as high as I could go. Other than that. Rock Solid.
What board should you buy? Look at what boards have enough expandability for you, after that, choose the one that supports the fastest ram in decent quantity within reasonable price. Most manufacturers have supported memory lists on their support pages. With ryzen fast ram is everything.
certain higher end boards are better for ram, so that's a thing. Specifically if you have some very fast ram.
It's pretty simple really, if you are not overclocking pick the best features and warranty. if your overclocking pick the board with superior VRMs and power delivery. With established products pay attention to reviews. AM4- ASUS Hero VI hands down, budget ASrock, mid/workstation a Ultra Durable Gigabyte board. And picking a board for overclocking is about much more than the MHz you achieve, it's also about increasing efficiency. For example increasing latency and temperatures with a too high OC performs worse than a reasonable OC with lower voltages and matched/tuned BUS.
They list it on the box/specs usually however it can be false technically. A good indicator is the amount of chokes and in some cases the size of the heatsink(if properly engineered). But if I had any advice it would be to watch and read trusted reviews and select a product that has been on the market long enough to be vetted which is usually 2Q after the launch date.
The GIGABYTE GA-AB350M-D3H or the GIGABYTE GA-AB350M-Gaming 3
Gonna get an ASRock Killer board, wifi built in, will care what it looks like in the future
If you want to game, make sure to connect with cable. WiFi does cause severe issues in online gaming.
anyone heard of the MSI B350 PC MATE ?
Have seen some review and it has some bad overclocking potential at least go for mortar or asus B350 prime plus if u overclocking
I build my sons 1500x based on that board and i have it oc to 3.8ghz @1.325v air cooled idles at 40c. Its a nice budget board pretty strong.
Something I do not understand, a normal clocked 1800x goes up to 4.1 ghz with xfr, thus if you overclock a 1700x this is your target to be on par with the 1800x. How beneficial is it to clock the 1800x to 4.0 ghz while not having the boost functions of the cpu? Wouldn't you try to exceed the maximum clockspeed of the 1800x - 4.1 ghz- to benefit from it?
It was my bad experience buying MSI B350M Gaming Pro for $119 here in my country....truly a lot higher than the Globe
The ASUS Prime X370-Pro has very mixed reviews on Newegg. Brings up a lot of concerns with longevity, problems getting reasonable RAM speeds, etc. Have you encountered any of these issues, or have you had a good experience?
4 months later and still not a lot of options.
MSI PC Mate B350 vs. Asus Prime Plus B350? Which one to choose?
I bougt an Asus Prime 450 Plus. I have an Athlon200 GE running in it. I am not getting sound out of the green jack in the back of the board. I am satisfied with sata on the fly that i can adjust in the bios. But why only sound out of the video cable?
i walked into a frys about the same time you made this vid and they had MB for days for the Ryzens i got the Gigabyte AX370 Gaming 5 it had what i wanted and needed and only dumb thing it had that is useless is RGB
What should go with Ryzen 5 2400G?
When is ASUS coming out with new boards?
Msi B350 gaming plus vs. Asus rog strix B350-f. Need an answer
What motherboard do you recommend?
MSI B350M vs ASUS PRIME B350PLUS?
i need too this answer :(
go for asus it has better vrm with good 4+2 phase design but u can also go for msi B350M if u r going to buy r5 1400 with mild overclock of 3.8ghz it will be just fine
if u r over clocking go for b350 prime plus cos it have vrm heat sink but if u r overclocking 1400 at 3.8 i think prime b350 will be enough try looking for AHOC youtube vids he did an in-depth review
+Akmal Zuwak Get asus one
if ur going for 1600 than go for asus b350f rog series slightly better than asus b350 prime plus and have more fan header and its beautiful, and u can easily overclock up to 4 ghz
Which*
What's wrong with the MSI B350 Tomahawk?
thanks for the breakdown, if you have a moment i have a question, you say that you suggest not buying the more expensive x370 boards because you see little to suggest the more expensive ones overclock better, is that actually the selling point for the pricier boards, that seems crazy to me? is it that they come with auto overclocking features or something that makes it easier? I figured the pricier boards just came with more PCIE lanes or something along those lines i guess
The pricier ones often have added features like Bios flashback, on board power and reset buttons, more rgb headers, potentially additional m.2 slots, or better overall power delivery. My chip hits 4.04 GHz, and from what I've seen from other reviews, I haven't seen many 1800X chips hitting 4.1 GHz even on boards costing about $100 more. Unless the more expensive option has a specific feature giving you something not offered with the lower end X370 boards, I just don't see the value. I'd suggest just pocketing the difference or spending that money on another component to get more performance out of the build.
Look, here are the real questions...
Do you plan to overclock? If so, it really doesn't matter, as long as you stay in the B350 or X370 chipsets, the A320 I don't believe is capable of Overclocking.
Now question number 2, do you prefer AMD or Nvidia for Graphics cards? If you prefer Nvidia, you have better support on the X370 boards and you'll see why in a minute.
Third, do you plan to use Nvidia Cards in parallel (SLI)? If you don't like Nivida, or don't plan to use two or more in your system, then you're absolutely 100% fine with the B350 boards.
I’m having hard time deciding between the MSI B350M Mortar and the Asus TUF B350M-PLUS Gaming. Which one would be better in terms of overclocking capability and PCB durability? I plan on using a Ryzen 5 1600 with the stock cooler.
+Sierra Delta I don't have any experience with either, but I'm guessing both would overclock fairly equally. Find out which one has better power delivery and probably go with that one. I don't think you can go wrong with either though.
MSI CARBON x370 IS GOOD OR BAD ?
i want to by rayzen 3 1200 should i have buy MSI B350M PRO-VDH AM4 Motherboard plz inswer
which is best for ryzen 5
GIGABYTE GA-AB350 or asus b350m plus
Ótima placa, mas ela não da o bipe de inicialização, é normal?
hey bro I have the same motherboard, did you have any issues installing Windows? did you have set the ram speed?
MSI B350M Bazooka any1 using this one?
silly question, is Ryzen 1700x or 1700 systems stable? yes, i would overclock those to 4 ghz. power supply = 750 watts. not sure on memory speed yet (maybe 3200-3600). m-atx motherboard. Thanks!
robert Yes, 750 watts is more than enough
I overclocked my 1700x with a 1080ti to 4.0 with a 650 80+ gold power supply, you should be golden with 750. Probably too late anyway ;)
Plz look in the Camera :D good video tho
What about the Asus - prime b350 plus atx mobo? could that one be used pretty good?
I just wish there is a b350 board with no problems what so ever, and with neutral color. I don't need any red any leds I just want a solid board with good looks and no gaudy color
+kob4y and you are not alone my friend.
Get MSI B350 Tomahawk Arctic, good looking board with a few white leds. Also - tomahawk is one of the best B350 Ryzen boards
Yeah the tomahawk does look like a good board so I added it to my parts list for now
also how about the msi b350 PC Mate? Is it also a good board like the tomahawk?
Asrock B350 Pro4. Black/white/silver, good construction, good price. Best of all, no tacky LEDs.
As for the PC Mate, on the surface it looks to be the same basic board as the Tomahawk with different, likely cheaper capacitors to cut the price. No one has really torn them apart and compared them yet, though.
b350 runs at 16x and 4x
That song belongs to jays2centz 😂
And I believe also Android Authority lol
JP Morais it's royalty free music. you'll catch the tune all over youtube for a bunch of different videos.
go for gigabyte ultra durable motherboards
Got a gigabyte B350 Gaming 3 ATX
really happy with it c:
the asus prime pro has a better vrm then the crosshair so like dont even sweat it for overclocking man
ive just gone for the best one imo ive went for the asus crosshair vi hero mobo for my 1700x hopefully it all goes smoothly because its gonna be annoying af for me to have to send it back cause of a problem anyone know if 3000mhz ram is supported yet as well
does it have a clock generator on the board? If so then technically yes.
what do you think of the ASROCK X370 TAICHI ATX?
It's on the expensive side, but if some of the added features are your thing, it's not really out of line with its price. I've personally never had good experiences with ASRock boards, but that's just 2 different boards I've had, so I wouldn't completely turn away from them based on one person's experience.
Seems like most of the Ryzen boards are still buggy, and have problems running DDR4 at 3000 or 3200 for example.
I was totally pumped-up for Ryzen, now I think I will wait 6 months.
Dave Satay I think you'll only be waiting until around April though. *wink wink*.
Fzero,
why? what happens in April?
Dave Satay ryzen 5 releases
Ryzen 5 doesn't change the fact that motherboards are still in short supply, and full of bugs. And memory compatibility is sketchy too.
Besides, I really want 8 cores 16 threads.
Dave Satay So how did it go? It's been 6 months
im gonna build my pc soon im a beginner and from Canada which sucks coz 1000 buildnin the US most likely cost me 2000 . so im wondering if anyone anyoneeeeee have something to offer please reply i need your help so bad :( i wan't a pc that will last :)
MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon vs Asus ROG STRIX x370? Any suggestions please.
+Kalpesh Prithyani I've always defaulted to asus because I've never had a bad experience and I know their board's uefi very well. Honestly, both are likely to be great boards for you though.
does the MSI - B350 PC MATE ATX motherboard have inbuilt wifi?
No
Hey does buying micro atx b350 motherboard for gaming will be a problem?
the problem is not the board, but the case. Most cases are very small so from having cooler, fans, powersupply very close together, airflow can be a problem as well as maintainance work, or beeing able to get to connectors on the board itsself because there is no room. The biggest problem can be, that your graphics card might not fit in it because of length or depth.
I bought the MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon and it doesn't have P-state overclocking. Crap. =(
Terry1212 what is p state over locking?
SAHOODOUKEN! It lets the CPU downclock depending on the load. I found out it's actually not as big a deal as I thought it was because the power usage is negligible.
You really need to be farther back from the camera.
Can you help me what mobo should i buy for the 1600x
+Altan Hasbay Pretty much any B350 board with good reviews. Unless you're using lots of PCI lanes for things like multiple graphics cards, you really don't need an X370 board.
turn down the music a bit in your vids
I know what I want. As for when it'll be available, who the f*** knows?! (MSI b350m mortar)
Daniel Contreras it's finally starting to be available. not sure if I want the white or the regular black one though.
How come on MSI website it states that the B350 TOMAHAWK supports AMD crossfire so why would I need to get an x370? please clarify
www.msi.com/Motherboard/B350-TOMAHAWK.html#productFeature-section
B350 boards support Crossfire, but not Nvidia's SLI. If you plan to do multiple Nvidia cards, X370 is it. If you're doing something like 2 RX 480s, then B350 is okay. X370 also adds more Sata and USB 3.1 connectivity vs. B350. Here's a great article detailing the differences. www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2763-amd-chipset-comparison-x370-b350-a320
Hoosier Hardware Thanks
Not a good article! That was way before the release and the specs have changed... They even mention that in the comments.
170 for a budget motherboard YE aahhhhhhh....
Hey buddy nice review..subscribed . Quick question... Planning to build a pc specifically for setting up virtual machines using hyper v for doing testing work related stuff and some photoshop editing.... I was planning to go with ryzen 7 1700 and x370 asus... Would ryzen 5 1600 work with the b350?
+Harshal Thakkar it should but Ryzen 7 would be better if you're doing virtual machines, especially if you're doing more than one at a time
WAIT WTF Is it me or his head looks enormous compared to his chest
Thank you, now im even more confused than before watching this video
i like your eyes
So someone will honestly pay an extra typical $100 for a AM4/Ryzen board over an Asus Z270A-Prime (SLI capable)for $169, possibly pay an extra $200 for an 1800X (over a $300 7700K) and then get 10-15% less frames/sec in games??
No, people on that budget will pay $159 for a an Asus prime x370 board ($10 cheaper than the Intel board) and $329 for a Ryzen 7 1700 (also $10 cheaper than Intel's recommended price for the 7700k). And anyone that buys Ryzen will gladly give up that small amount of gaming performance at very high fps for a generally far more powerful CPU than a 7700k.
Also, if they care about that 10 percent difference in gaming, they can set their games to run on a single CCX and gain back almost all of the fps of the 7700k (the mildly inferior gaming performance comes from Windows rapidly switching cores for any given thread, which causes latency issues with the way Ryzen's cache system is designed, and is something Microsoft is likely to update before long). If you want to know more about what the problem is just Google it. Honestly though, 99 percent of gamers don't give a rat's ass about the difference between 105 fps and 120 fps.
All that said, I'm not anti-intel. I actually have never owned anything from AMD. People are just so vocal about how disappointed they are with Ryzen, but AMD has really outdone themselves here. Sure they've taken a few shortcuts, but they still managed to deliver the vast majority of Intel's $1000 computing performance at half the price. Factor in overclocking, AMD reaches stock 6900k computing performance with a CPU that's costs a THIRD of the price and using cheaper motherboards to do it. I call that a massive win. I truly am just extremely impressed with what AMD has accomplished. I'm ready to see what Intel can pump out next to compete with AMD's price to performance at the high end enthusiast level. I think it'll be a great few years of innovation at least.
Seems a reasonably well thought out reply; I just question the irony of the portion about Ryzen owners willing to , "... gladly give up that small amount of gaming performance at very high fps for a generally far more powerful CPU than a 7700k."
If it were generally 'far more powerful', then in my mind, it would not be taking the spanking that it is in gaming at 1080...
2 years from now, it will still be outframed by my 7700K; actually hope I'm proven wrong on this, however.....
No, no, and no. the 7700k is NOT more powerful and I'm getting sick of this same ole, same ole discussion of people that know nothing. The 7700k is more powerful at this point because of how windows is optimized along with the games. The 1800x will blow it out of the water in 6 months. Why don't people like you give time for Microsoft to optimize Windows 10 for the new chip? Do you not understand AMD has had nothing to show for 6 years or better so how can you optimize for a company that hasn't shown anything in a very long time? Simple answer is you can't. Give people some time. Do you not understand that it will take time to optimize the OS? I know you seriously aren't that retarded.
Let's assume for a moment the 7700K is 'less powerful' than the 1800X. This should make it all the more frustrating to watch the 7700K outframe the 1800X...in every...single...game....ever...made. Will this change in '6 months'...after some OS changes? Mainboard BIOS changes? We shall see. Until then....the 7700K is the better gamer cpu.
wtf dat head size! :O
ASUS STRIX B350-F Gaming is the best deal.
why?
Hate gigabyte boards
Indiana?
You know it :D
Hoosier Hardware love it, new sub for being a local tech channel 👍
What board to buy? Watch my video. I'll tell you to go do your research and choose the board that you like!! Whoo hooo!! Very fukin helpful video......
In conclusion this guy doesn't know which motherboard you should buy and you should watch another video.
Jeez ur head is huge
why is your head so big but your upper body is so small ? XD
Jay son ? xD
xD loooolz
bla bla bla for nothing, i think you already know, what he is going to say, if you are user who knows little-bit of everything. So go to 7:46 directly.
Don't go with the micro atx board because it will get hotter and lesser expandability .. ABSURD!! and FUNNY!! Those that want a mini itx are ......... Sorry those that want a mini itx board!! lol
anud boards are the worst ever right now
That hasn't been my experience at all, but with a new platform especially, mileage may vary.
