I would still say the b350-f is what I would get.

that mobo is a good deal considering it looks really nice and has some LEDs

No it is not, since it has the same horrible VRMs as the rest of the Gigabyte line except the two Gaming 5 and K7

Not for R7

prove pls

The VRMs suck hard. 4 weak, inefficient lowside mosfets with insufficient cooling and extremely bad memory support, i gave up after an hour of trying to get Ryzen certified kit to its rated values.

VRM wise not suitable for anything but a 4 core

VRMs will get toasty with even a modest OC and caps wont hold up for even two years

The way to go is Asus Prime X370 Pro mobo. 

Its very reliable, has strong and very efficient VRMs.

Invest into 16GB Kit of G.Skill Flare-X 3200MHz C14, it is the best for Ryzen

dude you do realize alot of people can overclock just fine on b350 and memory compatibility is fine. I got mine to 2800 mhz just fine and msi is the worst when it comes to memory support.

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND, IT WILL OVERCLOCK GOOD BUT THE CAPACITORS WON'T HOLD UP AT 130+ FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME

buildzoid would disagree.

I watched that video few times.

You have to understand.

Gigabyte and MSI solutions suck hard and anyone with a brain knowing it wouldn't buy them.

Asus's solution is fine but buildzoid ran it on N2, you have to understand, its not operating at 130+ but -200.

You just called the worst AM4 boards fine.

No seriously, i can give you reasons and buildzoid (my glorious master) will confirm that

Tell me then. Why? Prove this to me. I demand answers.

Basically, when buildzoid says "fine" it means "not ok" or "bad". X370 Prime Pro has

6+4 phase with ASP1405i and Texas Instruments NexFET CSD87350.

Worth it for $150

Then if it's worth it, why did you yourself buy the STRIX B350-F

Because i live in a semi-communist hell damned fucking country, Strix B350-F costs $150 here and Prime Pro costs like $208

[ono]

How is the ASUS Prime B350-Plus for OCing a 1700? I may be going that route over the Prime X370 Pro to save some $ since I probably won't be doing SLI.

What about the Asus crosshair VI hero?

x370 msi is crap compare than others

but some of b350 msi has the best vrm compare than others

shittiest b350 goes to gigabyte

Was about to say from the B350 stand point MSI is king hell asrock has a 3x2 phase board that has a terrible Vdrop and Gigabytes B350 run the hottest mainly over crappy heat-sinks. 

 

X370 has don't get MSI get Asrock as they have the best VRM temps

B350 take a long look at all the boards and keep in mind no 4+2 phase can OC to 4Ghz at 1.4V safely without VRM hitting 100+C on the VRM. 

 

If one wants to think the Asrock Pro 4 B350 board is any good go and search vdroop someone at this forum the other day couldn't even get his 1700 to 3.7Ghz due to voltage dropping to 1.2V under load with a 1.325V setting. 

 

Try and get true phase boards not ones that are fake 3X2 phase or something. 

 

That all said my MSI Tomahawk limits what i can do on my 1700 as heat is just to much once i start pushing my chip with adding a fan over the VRM and even then going past 1.3V still would get to 100C. Tomahawk at least does have stable voltage when i set 1.2V on the processor its very close to that number same with setting 1.375V very stable voltage.

B350 Gaming 3 is actually pretty good

 

MSI B350 PC Mate has problems but Tomahawk is fine

I will quote someone at this forum

"Hi,
I have a nice Ryzen 1700X build, which runs flawless at stock clock settings (3.4 GHz).
At this speed the system is stable at encoding videos with handbrake (100% cpu usage) and the temperatures rise about CPU 70°C (158°F), VRM 106 °C (223°F) - so far so good -

But when I try to do just a little overclocking to 3.6 Ghz the VRM gets over 120°C (248°F), CPU 82°C (180°F) - after about 6-10 Minutes it does an automatic shutdown.
Btw all fans are running at full speed!" 

 

Can we please stop recommending Gigabyte B350 boards please.

I still like my GIGABYTE, and others contradict this statement, but I will take it into account.

 

Can you please stop making your posts not night theme friendly please.

 

The majority (Im pretty sure) use night theme.

I have literary no idea what that means what is night theme? Kind of new to this forum i now found, not sure i like it as much but hey it reminds me of level one techs now or Teksyndicate
