AM4 Motherboard Battle: A320 vs B350 vs X370

AM4 Motherboard Battle: A320 vs B350 vs X370

 

What are the advantage and disadvantage of these three motherboards?

In the end, who's the winner? Nah.. Obviously, you know that. 

(Just posted things in my mind right now).

B350 is best value as it has most of the features of X370 (Save for SLI), but isn't that much more expensive than an A320. 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

The B350 and X370 chipset can overclock. The A320 cannot.

 

The X370 chipset usually has the best VRM implementation though, although it depends on the motherboard.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

B350 does support crossfire, but not SLI.

B350 is just fine unless you want to have that SLI.

B350/X370 motherboards support overclocking and A320 motherboards dont support overclocking. B350 motherboards are best value for money when it comes to features. Generally X370 motherboards have a better VRN implementation to accomodate for overclocking, but this does depend upon the type of motherboard. A320= cheaper B350= good value for money X370= more expensive. From a price/performance perspective, B350 motherboards are enough and are good value for money imo, they have the associated features that you need and it is the sweetspot for a motherboard choice point of view.

A320 has no pro. Not even price in some countries.

B350 has the best value for budget performance.

X370 has better audio, more I/O, crossfire and hopefully better build quality.

 

Not much else to say.

Get the B350 boards. You can OC without spending big bucks on X370 and getting better build quality than A320

Have to say i agree all A320 boards have no OC support all current B350 boards have crappy VRM for an 8/6 core and even some X370 boards are terrible for VRM
