    O you cool I got Ryzen 3 just recently with a B350 MOBO

    Just a fair warning: some of those boards have issues with thermal pads. The X370 boards have fewer issues with them than the B350 but you may need to contact Asrock about getting the upgraded ones that some came with and others didn't.

     

    Also, the board has no LLC so if you want to overclock, set the core voltage way higher than you'd think you should. Like start at 1.35V and go up from there.

    @vinyl I gotchu soon as my case comes in (which should be Wednesday)

     

    @strfrm I've  never actually I'd anything before, what's the LLC? I wanted to go for a Gigabyte or msi board but the only itx am4 boards available at microcenter were this one.

    @Yummychickenbluewell the Asrock/Gigabyte/Biostar boards are your only option anyways sooo

     

    LLC means "load-line calibration" which helps effectively adjust voltage based on load. You want that when OCing. But the Asrock 3-phase boards don't have it since they don't have the capacity for it since they're 3-phase power delivery systems. So you gotta set the voltage high to offset the ridiculous vdroop that a 3-phase will inevitably have. My friend's R5 1600 on the AB350M Pro4 needed 1.356V to run stable at 3.8GHz with a few other tweaks in Ryzen master like 1.35V memory voltage and 1.10 VOC.

    *I said VOC I meant SOC
