Choosing a b350

[allenfaust]

Hi Guys, 

 

I'm currently planning to build a pc based on a ryzen 3 1200 and wondering which motherboard is good. 

I have the following options for a budget board:

(1) https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AB350M-HD3-rev-10#kf

(2) http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350M Pro4/index.asp

(3) https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/AB350M-HDV/index.asp

 

If possible I would like to have an informed comment on which I should choose. THANKS!

Pro4, should be the cheapest, you just want a fan over the VRM For overclocking.

Anything with a decent 4+3 set up is also likely fine, but the Pro 4 has alright heatsinks as well

This is the cheapest X370 motherboard, and i'm using it right now:

 

it's been running solid for 3 months...

even in hackintosh.

You need a medical help.

Ryzen 3 does pull only very small amount of power, even R5 1600 at 3.7 or so is not so power hungry.

You dont need a fan for that.

Best B350 board for the money IMO is the Asrock B350 Pro 4 or the Asus B350-plus

Putting a fan over the VRM isn't going to hurt anything right? Can only help?

It wont help you with a 4 core, only make airflow worse, bigger noise and eat up space

I'm no VRM expert but what i see is the same shit in all of b350 vrm config (4+3).
