Can't over clock on B450

POS meaning the bios, not the somewhat questionable VRM package. 

Allows only 1.30v, but capable of 100a, which I wouldn't lean on that too hard personally.

 

Then he's talking about 4.7ghz...... I dunno. Really doubt it though. 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah, I agree with that hahahah.

Not only that, you also can not key in voltages manually; offset is the only option.

 

The AsRock B450M Pro that @ImAyaanKhan has should be better.

 

Yeah, I don't think 4.7 GHz is possible / stable.

Setting it and clicking "apply" is one thing, but actually running a stress test, or daily using it and it not crashing is another.

 

80°C idle with a big 280mm / 360mm AIO?

Uhhh... something is not right there...

Because it didnt happen. 

The voltage and temps yes, the 4.7ghz I am 99% certain its either false reading or tall claim. And thats on a non X chip. 

 

Had mine x version down to -30. Still didnt hit no 4.7ghz cause it wasnt cold enough yet.

Exactly. OP, did you fill the radiator when assembling the PC or did you pull a verge?

The AsRock B450M Pro4 seems to be so-so, doubled 3-phase VRM?  3(2) + 3 set-up.

According to VCore VRM rating tier lists/tables, the B450M Pro4 can support 100A Core Current.

Should be able to handle something like up to an overclocked 3800X / 3700X -- mild overclock probably, though.

Of course it still falls short compared to something like the MSi B450 Tomahawk / Mortar / etc.

 

I agree, I mainly recommend it because it is an excellent bang for the buck budget motherboard, I got mine for 40 bucks at microcenter

Dang, that's a steal. Though tbh it's become my go to recommendation for folks running R5 CPUs - it's perfectly happy running my 2600X at 4.1, VRM temps hover in the 70s under load while the CPU pulls 110ish W. I got mine for $55 so I guess I can't complain!

 

Also Asrock's budget bioses are infinitely better than gigabyte's low end. Gigabyte may have the better hardware but I'm not going to personally use them unless they get a lot better in terms of software.

I agree, gigabyte BIOS is really awful on the low end by today's standards. I honestly can't recommend the board enough, I see so many people wasting money on x470 boards or expensive b450 boards like the b450 tomahawk when they're running Ryzen 5 CPUs, and that budget could easily have gone into snagging a slightly better GPU or some more SSD storage

I got my aorus really cheap, 150 Canadian. You cannot overclock the processor through the BIOS. I am so glad that AMD made SOC-level overclocking software, not BIOS

Yeah, I was surprised the low-end boards were so limited.

I've been used to their mid-range ~ high-end boards, never though the low-end would be that much different.

 

Then again, the Aorus B450 boards aren't exactly low-end....I mean, Ultra-Durable and Gaming tier sits below Aorus.

Chipset tier wise, B450 is mid-tier, too.
