AB350? Can it OC?

[SammyGoad]

So I want to move to Ryzen and start ocing but not spending too much dinero. I know that you need a B350 motherboard to oc on Ryzen but i've come across AB350 mobo for the $60 range, which are ther a or b and can I do light ocing with them? Twenty dollars means alot at this price range when I need to buy new ram that can be a large part of my build cost.

Can you send a link to the motherboard with "AB350" That may just be the name of the motherboard satting that it has the B350 chipset, which is very common.

Yep most AM4 boards can OC execpt A320 boards

AB350 = AMD B350

Thanks guys, twenty dollars means i could go from either a 1200 to 1300x or 1400 to 1500x

I’d get the 1500X. And make sure and quote peeps so they see your reply.

The 1200 is the same thing as a 1300x after OC, same goes to the 1400 and 1500x.

 

Best CPU in the line up would be the 1600 but any Ryzen processor is very solid purchase especially compared to current Intel offerings.

I think a 1600 is overkill for a 1050ti

Yes, a 1400 is more than plenty, your gaming will never have stuttering, it'll be very good.

[paddy-stone]

Yes the AB350 OCs very nicely, I have it. If you're ONLY gaming then go with 1400, if going to use for encoding/recoding, content creation or whatever or heavy multi-tasking then go for the 1600 for the extra cores and threads.

BTW The only differense between b350 and x370 is more overclocking controls NOT MORE STABLE OVERCLOCKING.

Not really, if it's for gaming then ryzen 3 isn't any different than the Pentium because of ccx latency, quad r5s most likely won't perform better than i5s even when 8 threads becomethe minimum (because of the same reason), hexa core ryzen won't have that much problems because it has 3 cores per ccx, hovewer even it won't perform well when hexa cores become the minimum (so it's a strange situation, it will definitely perform better than other ryzens, but not when it becomes the standard).Zen simply isn't an architecture for gamers and this is the reason why coffee lake might demolish ryzen.

I've waited on ass since Sandybridge because ever year people told me Haswell was gonna smoke Ivy Bridge dont upgrade yet or Kaby Lake will make you wish you had not bought Skylake; I've let new tech like pci3,sata3,ddr4 pass by waiting not to get burned, I think for $200 a new Ryzen is about as good as I need.

Also more PCIe lanes.

 

But Ryzen hits a wall around 4GHz no mattery what you do, and it's really not a matter of being held back by the power delivery.
