OC Capabilities question

[Tyler Moore]

I was a bit harsh with the whole "You'll destroy it".

[Cianthy]

Hahahaha thats fine, didn't understood it in a harsh way anyway. I'm just kinda sad that this is happening just because I got stuck with a shitty Motherboard with everything else being decent and nothing I can do about it. 

[Cianthy]

I'm sorry for tagging you all again, I need help once again.

 

I talked to the shop where I bought my PC recently, they said they could make something up to exchange my current Motherboard with my additional payment for this motherboard:

Would I be able to do everything mentioned on this one ? OC CPU but this time to like 3.9 - 4.0 Ghz and also oc ram ?

 

Thank you all and sorry for distrubing.

How much? Its is not that much better. At least it got a (TINIY) Heatsink on the VRM but yeah its probably the same desing 

[Cianthy]

For that one I need to pay 30$ more, only better one I can get is Asus Prime B350 - Plus and that one would cost me over 50$ more so yeah.

 

I would only go for 1.35V max on CPU, and 1.35V max on RAM, would the AB350 Gaming 3 be sufficient for that ? Or I'd need to for the Asus one ?

This store sure likes to rip people off. The Gaming 3 is hardly better so dont buy it, even if you only add $10 after giving them your current one. The Prime B350 Plus is sufficient, but not worth that extra price. It might be an $85 mobo (new), but Asrock and even MSI makes equally performing boards for less ($60-$70)

@Jurrunio

Don't ask about price, nothing I can do about it, just help me out with the decision.

 

Will the Asus Prime b350 Plus be enough for what I'm trying to do ? Will I be happy with it?

 

 

Side note, motherboard that I currently own, the ga-b350m-hd3 I paid 110$ , thats the prices here.

B350 Plus do have the power to hit say 4GHz on a 1600. It also has VRM over temperature protection so it will stop you from killing it with temperature.
