Hello guys. I want to ask you something. Maybe here is not the place but i'm new here and i'm sorry :). So i think to build a new pc soon. it's going to be a Ryzen 1700 build, but with a B350 motherboard. I don't have plans for sli or crossfire and i think B350 chipset is enough for me. But is B350 motherboard is enough for Ryzen 7 1700 ? Thank u guys!

Here is fine.

Some B350 VRMs are lower end than the X370 ones, but really the B350 boards can handle it, some more than others, maybe stay away from MSI boards the most. It also depends on how much overclocking you want to do.

B350 is fine. They often have less features than X370 boards but if you don't require those features a B350 board is fine. Yet another advantage over Kaby Lake is the fact that you can overclock on more than one type of board (Kaby Lake is only overclockable on Z270 boards). You'll be able to OC fine with a B350.

No, not really, I'm a follower of Buildzoid, and he was pretty on board with the ASUS B350 boards, even beating out other overclockers with a Prime B350 Plus while they used ROG Crosshair ones. The MSI boards use shit MOSFETS and yes the BIOS is awful. The ASUS boards though have much better MOSFETS.

i watched the video where he goes over all B350 boards for all manufacturers and he clearly says they have the worst of the bunch. they're all designed to meet the minimum spec for all ryzen CPUs but they're the worstt

And i have a video from CHEW overclocker that same board was hitting 150C on the VRM at 1.4/4.0Ghz on a 8 core. 

 

ALL 4+2 phase boards can't handle Ryzen 8 core OC safely 150C under load is not a good thing. 

 

I'd say he should buy the MSI B350 carbon at least which if you remember that video from bullzoid he said it was the best B350 at the time.

Hell just today at stock with my 1700 the MSI tomahawk VRM hit 65C during a 15min encode i had to do. 

 

At stock under load my 1700 uses less then 1.1V.

 

Gigabyte boards have the highest rated VRM temps on B350 at stock some are seeing 20-30C more then i see.
