Hello guys,

 

I have a doubt between these two motherboards.

Msi x370 Gaming Plus and Msi B350 Gaming Carbon.

They are exactly the same price in my country and I know from this video

 that the B350 gaming carbon and the krait have the best b350's vrms for overclocking.

Still I don't know how they compare to the X370 gaming plus... 

 

Other than overclocking I dont need nothing more than a B350.. (don't need SLI, extra sata ports etc...)

Can anyone help me?

B350 are golden spot for gamers. If you dont need SLI neither extra sata ports then checkout this list of B350 motherboards. Mostly is MSI cause they are most used with good reviews.

The first guy I've ever seen building Ryzen PC is using B350 Tomahawk, I think that's good. But average B350 doesn't have I/O cover and all B350 don't support SLI

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol
