really, thank you for realize that review, because in my languague (spanish), there is not video about of this, the subtitles helped me a lot, i needed more information about this motherboard, really thanks for this video and sorry for my ugly english.
Seen this board for £60 the other day and if I was in the market for one I would have snapped it up in an instant ! Looks like a fantastic mobo if you just want to do the basics without any of the bells and whistles some of the more expensive boards have. If I was doing a mATX build this would probably be in it, especially with the fully digital VRM. Thanks for taking the time to make this video for us Mike and Kath :-)
it does tick a lot of boxes, i think that it is also quite close in terms of price to the asrock pro4 range at times which then opens another can of worms
B450M PRO-VDH MAX is way better for roughly the same price. it has better VRM and SATA connectors placement isn't stupid like on B450M DS3H (V2) - any usual non-1-fan GPU will block 1 or even 2 SATA ports on these Gigabyte boards.
i just picked one of these up at Microcenter for 35 bucks. I got a 3800x to go with it, but i should have just spent the extra 20 or 30 bucks for a 5700g or x. but it still rips with my 2080ti
The biggest drawback of this MB is you cannot practically use 2 graphics cards as the primary card with a medium built will easily mask all the slots below it. 😒 . This is my experience. And forgot to mention the SATA port which is located straight side to the PCI X slot is also unusable for the same reason stated above.
i have this mobo with a ryzen 5 3600, a rtx 3060Ti, 16gb of ram 3200mhz and and 1tb ssd m2 nvme. This machine is a monster, im playing Warzone (one of the worst optimized games ever made lol) in 4K, competitive graphics with DLSS performance at around 110 fps (between 90 and 120 depending on map area). Other Triple A games run also smooth. Editing and design programs never felt better. Very happy with this and i didnt spend much. Ill keep it till AMD releases new cpus then ill get a new generation cpu+mobo combo.
@@mikesunboxing hey mike was wondering on how to connect type c?, haven’t gone through whole video yet but this is my one question for this motherboard
This board is supposed to be compatible with a ryzen 5 3600 right off the box right? Because i'm getting no display, tried swapping RAM, switching proce with a 2600(still didn't work), the only thing i haven't tried is swapping the 3600 to a known working mobo.

i love how manufacturers say this so and so CPU and GPU will run on this board. the smart logical person says, okay so what your really saying is there all supported but not all make sense. luckily there are people like yourself that'll point out a boards limitations. that doesn't make a board like this bad, but that's why no two products are exactly alike. helping a couple beginners myself make a PC for themselves over the years, i notice the two most common mistakes a beginner can make, 1 is buying the wrong power supply, and 2 is buying the wrong motherboard. if you get one of those wrong, alot can go bad, so it's always smart to think of every component that goes into a computer as important, but by far the two most important are the motherboard and power supply. it would be nice if manufacturers put on the boxes that'll say which CPU is better recommended for each board, but that's not how business works. A520 boards for AMD and H510 and H610 for Intel are better suited for a low energy kinda build, these kinda boards are very common in a work place environment, but they can be used to build a gaming PC on provided you don't go too crazy. i would say the Ryzen 3 3100 would be good for B450, or the i3 10100 for H510. if your a gamer on a budget, your gonna want to take a look at the B450 and B550 from AMD, and the B560 and B660 from Intel. but just because it's a B motherboard doesn't mean there all the same, the ones that have better heatsinks will keep things cooler.

Hello. I got a question i want to upgrade my pc and i have this specific motherboard can this motherboard support ryzen 5 7500F and a 4060 or should i buy a different motherboard for that.
Great I just upgrade frmom the x370m-DS3H because I have brought a 4K screen for my 2200G linux rig issue is he 300 chipsets are on 1440p@60 or 4K@30 max. So cureently I am stuck at 4K@30. The R3 2200G can support 60hz but it can't on the old Motherboard. So I have ordered this board on friday Via cheap snail mail should be here on wednesday. It is a great base spec and down the line I can drop a 5700G once the prices are within reach. I run Fedora Linux which is amazingly good for Linux due to most of it chipset being Open due to AMD's Opensource projects. Under £45 great price for a HDMI 2 upgrade before factoring the other updates on the 400 chip set. Hopefully my 2200G some drop right in.
@@Kanivalos80 MSI B450 GAMING PLUS MAX and MSI B450-A PRO MAX are basically the same as B450 TOMAHAWK but usually cheaper. check those. also MSI B550M PRO-VDH should be available now for the price of B450 TOMAHAWK, so buying B450 TOMAHAWK is kind of stupid now. and check ASUS TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS price.
will this motherboard be compatible with nvidia geforce gtx 1660 super and/or 1650 and also intel i5-10400/f, and also you kinda said its limited repeatedly but will it be good for gaming at 1080p, or maximum monitor resoluton?
I am considering this board, will most of the boards selling now come with updated BIOSes or will they still have the original F1 on them. I want to pair it with a 5600g which requires F61 BIOS and I don't have a spare earlier CPU to flash the BIOS myself.
I'm thinking to get this board and pair R5 3600 & RX6600 any suggestions? I mean any bottlenecking issues or anything else. This mobo also fits in my budget well
I'm gonna purchase a mobo for my ryzen 3 3200g and gtx 1660 super, but I'm confused between asrock b450m pro4, gigabyte b450m ds3h v2 and asus prime b450-A ll , can you maybe pick one for me
I could get this board for 52 usd. Do you think it would pair well with a 5600? I could also get the B550m DS3H for 69 usd and the MSI B550m PRO VDH WiFi for 86 usd. I may upgrade to a 5700x3d down the road.
Hi there mike. Planning to build my 1st entry level gaming pc. My only option is a320 gigabyte or the b450 v1 of the same manufacturer. Should i get the a320 v2 or the b450 v1? The b450 v2 is a bit pricey for me as of now. Hope you can help me. Thanks mate
Probably about the same not a great deal of difference between the two personally I would prefer the MSI due to the better fan control and also the MSI centre
i have a 3080 with ryzen 5 3600, is there any recommendations on what mother board is good for those parts. i have that same motherboard in the video, my gpu tends to get hot and i only see one fan system. i really wanna upgrade my motherboard
Hello my bro, I was wondering if I should still get this mobo, or just stick to msi's B450M pro-vdh max, or that asrock b450m pro4, with a second hand r5 3600 in mind, and has plans to upgrade to r5 5600, and 3200mhz 8x2 ram (currently 2400mhz) in the distant future. The main consideration is the longevity of the motherboard where I iust want a long lasting board, for reference I also used gigabyte b250m-d3h mobo since 2017 until blows and retired recent early july 2024, and also another one from my future upgrades where i just want to be plug and play and such. Which mobo should I go for my bro, this mobo in your vid, gigabyt and asrock one is having the same price as in my country (philippines), thank you for this video really...
@@mikesunboxing expected answer really, but if r5 5600 was taken out of consideration, and wanted to stay at b450m way, and the upgrade left is higher mhz of ram now, which b450m of the mentioned is still the best for me to choose?
I know i know, i commented a lot lately, im confused about my next mobo and ur videos and replies r so helpful, last question, can i overclock vega 11 and the its cpu from this? And can the vrm take it
Hey mike, is it worth buying a budget B450 like this model that you unboxed or should i get an A320? I heard that the vrm on cheap b450 like this can barely OC so isn't it better to just get an a320 if im low on budget?
hey there! is this a good upgrade from the asrock b350m-hdv. been quite difficult trying to use my 3200mhz 2x8 ram with my asrock mobo - very difficult to use the bios and the xmp profile never works. just wanna ask if i still need to OC my ram on this one to get it to work at 3200mhz. thanks! was looking at this since its inexpensive and it supports the 5000 series. rn i have the r5 1600 but i will eventually upgrade to maybe the 5600 or 5800 later on
Is this motherboard better than asus prime b450m-a II. I am getting these mobo for the same price. I want to run 5600g and will overclock it. Tomahawk is out of stock.
Great review! Do you know if it supports the Athlon 3000G without a BIOS update? I assume that it does, but I have seen some complaints, so I thought it is best to ask.
@@ililili2168 Hello! Sorry, but I haven't tried to overclock. However, I tried to enable the XMP and there was an incompatibility, albeit everything saying I coul do it. Nonetheless, later I verified that I didn't need to do that because the motherboard had automatically identified my RAM speed, wich is 2666. Noob mistake, but it worked out eventually hehehe Just remembered! In the end, I bought other motherboard, the B450M H, to support my old monitor.
i'm thinking of buying this motherboard and assembling my pc but my pc does not have space for disks how do i install the motherboard drives that comes on the disk with the motherboard

depends what you are using it for? the 3600 is a great CPU and for gaming is more than enough. The extra IPC improvement on the 5000 is good and will feel a little more snappy, if that is something you can justify the extra cash on go for it
I'm curious if this MB will support my Geil Evo Potenza 3600MHz with Ryzen 5 3600. I'm afraid because I saw some people with high frequency RAM which couldn't get past 2133MHz. I already bought the memories, but not the CPU and MB.
Supposedly it only supports certain ram at above 2133. My gskill aegis is rated are 3000 but it won’t run at anything but 2133 becuase it’s “not supported”
@@GGBGameplays my gigabyte b450m ds3h v2 doesn’t support my ram at the rated speeds hoping I can get a different set that is supported and get it running at 3000 or more
What’s the max ram and cpu generation after most recent bios update? At one point I read it was 32 GB ram and 3000 gen ryzen but I just updated my bio yesterday to the most recent one and supposedly it will handle 128 GB and ryzen 5000
Hello, i want to put i3 10105f proccesor on b460m ds3h v2 motherboard, processor does support intel turbo boost 2.0 but does motherboard need to support it too or just cpu?

it is unlikely that it will support 3600 on xmp on the 2200g straight off, try enabling XMP but manually change the frequency to 2933 and work up from there

totally different market and sector. The B450 is still a huge seller in some countries and those with older cpus who can't use or are scared to use b550 need something updated to use

Can you give me a better suggestion choosing between Asrock B450m Steel Legend or Gigabyte B450m DS3H V2?
steel legend is my choice
i think this is going to be my choice for my ryzen 5 2600 build. specs look great, and in a very great price.
it's my first build, wish me luck ^_^
and thank you for the review.

Hello. I got a question i want to upgrade my pc and i have this specific motherboard can this motherboard support ryzen 5 7500F and a 4060 or should i buy a different motherboard for that.
that is another CPU platform for the 7500f you would need a new motherboard. The GPU will work though

i am planning to ultimate Overclock my athlon 3000g. with my 2x4gb 2666mhz ram. on this mobo. is this worth to buy?
yeah why not. For that APU this will be fine
@@mikesunboxing how about msi b450m-a pro MAX?. i found that mobo way cheaper in my country.
Great I just upgrade frmom the x370m-DS3H because I have brought a 4K screen for my 2200G linux rig issue is he 300 chipsets are on 1440p@60 or 4K@30 max. So cureently I am stuck at 4K@30. The R3 2200G can support 60hz but it can't on the old Motherboard. So I have ordered this board on friday Via cheap snail mail should be here on wednesday. It is a great base spec and down the line I can drop a 5700G once the prices are within reach. I run Fedora Linux which is amazingly good for Linux due to most of it chipset being Open due to AMD's Opensource projects. Under £45 great price for a HDMI 2 upgrade before factoring the other updates on the 400 chip set. Hopefully my 2200G some drop right in.
hope it goes smoothly
Great review as always ;)
This board can handle an OCed 1600/1600AF/2600 ?
Yes not a problem
@@mikesunboxing
just put a fan blowing on a VRM and you're good to go. but there is a better board for this for the same price - B450M PRO-VDH MAX.
@@rawdez_ at least where i live i can find the DS3H cheaper by 20-25 eur...Ideally i would go for the tomahawk B450 but that costs over 100 eur.
@@Kanivalos80 MSI B450 GAMING PLUS MAX and MSI B450-A PRO MAX are basically the same as B450 TOMAHAWK but usually cheaper. check those.
also MSI B550M PRO-VDH should be available now for the price of B450 TOMAHAWK, so buying B450 TOMAHAWK is kind of stupid now.
and check ASUS TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS price.
will this motherboard be compatible with nvidia geforce gtx 1660 super and/or 1650 and also intel i5-10400/f, and also you kinda said its limited repeatedly but will it be good for gaming at 1080p, or maximum monitor resoluton?
no good for intel chips, amd on this one
which one should i choose this one or asrock b450m steel legend?
steel legend is the better board i think
I am considering this board, will most of the boards selling now come with updated BIOSes or will they still have the original F1 on them. I want to pair it with a 5600g which requires F61 BIOS and I don't have a spare earlier CPU to flash the BIOS myself.
most will be updated but it is always a gamble
I'm thinking to get this board and pair R5 3600 & RX6600 any suggestions? I mean any bottlenecking issues or anything else. This mobo also fits in my budget well
i would really suggest spending more and getting a B550 board the processor and GPU will run better, with B450 you will be stuck at PCIe gen 3

Hi there mike. Planning to build my 1st entry level gaming pc. My only option is a320 gigabyte or the b450 v1 of the same manufacturer. Should i get the a320 v2 or the b450 v1? The b450 v2 is a bit pricey for me as of now. Hope you can help me. Thanks mate
b450 v2 if you can but the v1 is very similar, avoid the a320
Stay safe and cheers mate. I appreciate it and waiting for your new video. Thanks lot!
Is this better that MSI B450M PRO VDH MAX ?
Probably about the same not a great deal of difference between the two personally I would prefer the MSI due to the better fan control and also the MSI centre
Planning to pair this with a ryzen 5 3600. Will it need a bios update?
i wouldn't think so unless it is really really old stock

no you want B550 really for those parts, it will work but not the best choice

Hello Mike, I'm planning to upgrade my 3400g a320m mobo to 3600 gigabyte b450m ds3h v2 do I still need to update the bios or it is 3600 ready board?
should be ready to go
Hello my bro, I was wondering if I should still get this mobo, or just stick to msi's B450M pro-vdh max, or that asrock b450m pro4, with a second hand r5 3600 in mind, and has plans to upgrade to r5 5600, and 3200mhz 8x2 ram (currently 2400mhz) in the distant future.
The main consideration is the longevity of the motherboard where I iust want a long lasting board, for reference I also used gigabyte b250m-d3h mobo since 2017 until blows and retired recent early july 2024, and also another one from my future upgrades where i just want to be plug and play and such.
Which mobo should I go for my bro, this mobo in your vid, gigabyt and asrock one is having the same price as in my country (philippines), thank you for this video really...
if you are looking for possible future upgrades a B550 makes much more sense in my opinion
@@mikesunboxing expected answer really, but if r5 5600 was taken out of consideration, and wanted to stay at b450m way, and the upgrade left is higher mhz of ram now, which b450m of the mentioned is still the best for me to choose?
Mike please help will this board support a ryzen 5 1400 out the box without a bios update ?
yes it will
I know i know, i commented a lot lately, im confused about my next mobo and ur videos and replies r so helpful, last question, can i overclock vega 11 and the its cpu from this? And can the vrm take it
yes and yes the VRM is okay for that just make sure you have some airflow in there and you should be fine
Hey mike, is it worth buying a budget B450 like this model that you unboxed or should i get an A320? I heard that the vrm on cheap b450 like this can barely OC so isn't it better to just get an a320 if im low on budget?
Planning to get a ryzen 3 3300x with it
i would go with a cheap b450 as you will be able to get a mild overclock and the a520 and a320 won't oc at all

Have you been able to overclock your 3000g on this motherboard I'm not sure of the compatability
@@ililili2168 Hello! Sorry, but I haven't tried to overclock. However, I tried to enable the XMP and there was an incompatibility, albeit everything saying I coul do it. Nonetheless, later I verified that I didn't need to do that because the motherboard had automatically identified my RAM speed, wich is 2666. Noob mistake, but it worked out eventually hehehe Just remembered! In the end, I bought other motherboard, the B450M H, to support my old monitor.

I am buying a new pc that has ryzen 5 3600 and Gigabyte B450M DS3H. Is it worth getting ryzen 5 5600x with Gigabyte B450M DS3H V2 for 100$ more?
depends what you are using it for? the 3600 is a great CPU and for gaming is more than enough. The extra IPC improvement on the 5000 is good and will feel a little more snappy, if that is something you can justify the extra cash on go for it
How many fans total can you connect to a single Fan Port? I have 3 fans total (1cpu / 2 system) My pc still gets hot and want to add 2 or 3 more.
really three per port is about the max depending on the fan , but a sata powered hub can turn a single header into many more ports if needed
@@mikesunboxing ahh! Cool! Didn't know you can use sata to connect fans. Would all that be needed is a converter?
