MSI B350 TOMAHAWK vs ASRock - AB350M Pro4

This two are my options, but if you have anything else to recommend on the same price range pls let me know

I would go ASUS but from the two choices i would choose the MSI.

I think he asked which board is better, not which brand you prefer. MSI, Asus and ASRock are all great brands.

 

To the owner of this thread: Both are great boards. The AB350 Pro4 is a bit cheaper and the Tomahawk has got a few extra small features and looks way nicer. Go with the AB350 Pro4 if you're on a tight budget, go with the Tomahawk if you don't mind spending the tiny bit extra and want some style in your build.

So to you the above means what exactly?

Buildzoid went through all the B350 boards, I think he said the Asrock AB350M Pro4 had the most current capability (VRM's are 3 phase with doubled components).  But pretty much any of them would be fine with an R5 being used reasonably.

 

I have the Asrock coming in the mail for my build.

i'd say go with the asrock, surfing through a lot of forums I've seen some problems with msi's mbs compatibility with ryzen 5, and asrock pro4 has been the one with less problems so far, plus you can sell it and buy another one in the future when am4 compatibilities get an update

Also:  If you require mATX, the Asrock AB350M Pro4 definitely seems to be the way to go.
