GIGABYTE GA-AB350-GAMING 3

If you are building a new Ryzen-based PC and are using a single graphics card a B350 motherboard could help you save some money to put towards that graphics card or other components. B350 motherboards could actually be the sweet spot for Ryzen gamers as you still get overclocking capabilities, two more PCIe lanes as well as 1 more USB 3.1 port than the lower-end A320 motherboards.

Of these, 3x USB ports feature GIGABYTE’s DAC-UP 2 adjustable voltage to ensure that your peripherals (and DAC’s of course) are supplied with enough ‘clean’ power to ensure stable operation. We are pleased to report the inclusion of other GIGABYTE technologies such as Dual BIOS along with ‘Ultra Durable’ Metal Shielding and Anti-Sulfur resistors.

It is Gigabyte’s turn to show what their roughly £100 B350 offering can deliver. The AB350-Gaming 3 is built around AMD’s value-orientated B350 chipset but with sprinkles of quality from Gigabyte, such as 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2, Realtek ALC1220 audio, and strong RGB LED capability.

The Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3 is also, as its name suggests, the first B350 chipset motherboard we’ve looked at, too. This is AMD’s cut-back version of the X370 chipset that still allows overclocking of Ryzen CPUs, but does skimp on some features and has fewer SATA ports, USB ports and slightly more limited flexibility when it comes to mixing and matching SATA devices and PCI-E SSDs.

It also has six integrated temperature sensor in various zones which can be synched in tune with the Gigabyte SmartFan 5 system. Unlike many X370 motherboards however, the AB350-Gaming 3 is also Ryzen APU ready, having display output options available for when AMD releases Ryzen processors with integrated graphics capability.

With the new CPUs, some of the new X370 boards have pushed their pricing up with all of the added features. Well, this is where the B350 chipset comes in. AMD dropped the number of USB and SAT ports on the B350 and you can’t get SLI on a B350 board but they still allow overclocking and the prices for B350 boards are a lot cheaper. This will come into play more with the mid range Ryzen CPUs, but even paired with the Ryzen 7 1700, a B350 board can be a good value.
