Ryzen AM4 mATX Reccomendations

[absolutepitch828]

Looking to leap onto Ryzen bandwagon.
Looking at specifically at mATX boards, bo pian no itx.

Some recommendations and feedback from existing users?

Options:

MSI B350M Mortar B350 $159
Stylo colours with LED, optical out but 5 usb ports behind nia.


Asrock AB350M $129
Cheap! 8 usb ports behind but colours r fugly.


Asus Prime B350-A $155
6 sata ports. this probably comes in behind the mortar for me. i could lose 1 usb for the fancy colours and optical audio out.


Gigabyte GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 $159
8 usb port. 4 dimm slots. nice red pci-e.


Gigabyte GA-AB350M-HD3 $149.
as far as i know this is same as gaming3. just with boring colours.

Wait for AGESA 1006.

Then evaluate what board manufacturer has the best bios implementation for high speed ram stability and baseline memory compatibility, shortlist within the lineup if it has the feature/bling checklist you want, distro location.

Any issue with this mobo? Intending to get this mobo

Get the Asus one perhaps?
The boring aesthetic aside all is the same actually. I think the Msi one look best but heard about Msi qvl issue. Not too sure how is it going, so do have heads up about it.

bios voltage control section nearly didnt make any sense to me

other than that, from a overclocking perspective, it only has voltage offset for vCore and vSOC. if you hate using offset, that's one downer for the board

ya right, seems like the msi mortar has some teething issues. im still trying to find a proper gigabyte review.

been reading up on both gigabyte b350 gaming 3 and msi b350 tomahawk..
seem like 2933mhz is a hit or miss so far..

My x370 can get 2933 stable. 3200 can achieve but not stable. Sometimes can't boot waiting asus pushing out new bios with agesa 1.0.0.5
