A solid B350 micro-atx motherboard, will a very decent range of features and decent overclocking capability,Plenty of USB ports, M2 Nvme capability, a decent number of Sata ports, 4 slots of ram make this a solid motherboard, with a very decent price.While fancier motherboards with the X370 chipset might offer more features, I feel that this MB is very good value as it still allows for easy overclocking of a Ryzen CPU. I'm running a AMD Ryzen 1600 and was easily able to overclock it to 3.8Ghz across all 6 cores. The motherboard runs cool, balances the connected fans rpms so as to keep it quiet, and even when stress testing the overclocked cpu the VRM modules keeps decent temperatures.

I’ve had no mechanical issues with this motherboard since getting it in mid-way through this year. BIOS is very easy to navigate, especially as a first time PC builder.This A320 boards’ micro-ATX (or mATX) form factor and lack of overclocking support brings the price down by noticeable margin compared to the B350 and B450 offerings. Bearing in mind again this is my first build, im not fussed at all about losing out on overclocking, but bear in this in mind for your builds that you will have to go up the product line for that.Besides losing out on overclocking support, you also lose a couple of USB connections, both internally and on the rear I/O, compared to larger boards.

Please remember this is a relatively cheap motherboard towards the bottom of the Gigabyte lineup of Ryzen products and not designed to support the requirements of extreme overclocking. Mine is fitted with a Ryzen 5 1600 and 16Gb of Corsair LPX 3200Mhz memory, MSI gaming x RX480 graphics topped off with 256Gb M.2 nvme. The motherboard arrived with the latest bios and the newly built system fired up first time, all components detected and installed correctly. Slight niggle, the Corsair ram will only run at 2933Mhz, the system refuses to post using the XMP profile but I think that's down to Corsair. The bios has plenty of options for the amature overclocker.

I bought this for longevity and for high-quality parts (and because there weren't any ITX offerings at time of release!), but if I were to purchase again I'd probably go with my most-trusted brand - Asrock - their recent ITX announcement has an Intel Gigabit ethernet controller which is much more widely used than Realtek, and they have built-in wifi.I don't care for RGB, but I wanted a board that would last with good quality components and receive regular BIOS updates as AMD tweaks microcode to optimise for Ryzen. So far, Gigabyte has been forthcoming with updates, but naturally ATX comes first, then M-ATX.The board itself is sturdy, the I/O shield is fancy, the BIOS is great but at present needs a few tweaks.

Gigabyte has always been known for their well-engineered motherboards and this motherboard is no exception to this rule.You have full control over the PCI-E system on this motherboard, all of the slots are routed to CPU. You can set the Gen 3, Gen 2 and Gen 1 in motherboard bios and this gives make the motherboard very flexible and easy to troubleshoot compatibility issues. The motherboard can support 4 GPUs via USB 3 riser kits.As with all Ryzen chipsets, running XMP profiles at 1.35volts see the actual voltage register around 1.345volts and I would recommend running XMP profiles with 1.38volts because it makes a noticeable improvement to the responsiveness of the PC performance in Windows

This motherboard was paired with the Ryzen 3 1200 CPU. I was able to overclock it to 3.9GHz using 1.275 volts. The RAM used was 8GB Corsair 2667MHz with the XMP profile applied and 1.35 volts. I recommend updating to the latest bios version found on the Gigabyte website before you try overclocking.The board has 6 SATA ports, but beware if you use the M.2 slot, then 2 of the SATA ports become disabled (see manual). I chose this board because it has a good layout, along with having 8 USB ports at the back including 2 USB 3.1 Gen2 ports. It only has 2 case fan headers + the CPU fan header, but they are placed in good locations (top left and bottom right), and a fan splitter cable can be bought and used to connect two front fans.

Great matx motherboard, comes with support for 1st and 2nd gen ryzen cpus out if the box. Very cheap board at £45-ish but has a slew of features like a M.2 nvme slot, usb3.1 and other modern add-ons. The only things it lacks are 4 DIMM slots (it only comes with 2), no overclocking features at all, and no usb-c, but if you can live without those this board is amazing value. Unknown if ryzen gen 3 would be supported, but if you need a cheap board for gen 1 or 2, this is the oneUpdate: changed 5 star to 4 star review. There is a flaw in the layout of the motherboard. There are 4 sata3 ports on there, but they are situated just under the pci-e 16x slot, meaning a graphics card install there would block at least 1 sata port.

I went for this B350 becuase it has pretty good audio-out connections compared to some other B350 boards and seems to have at least some cooling on the VRMs unlike a few at least. Plenty of fan headers and an LED pin for the light on my Ryzen 1700 cooler. The bios is a bit weird when you try to change Ram or CPU clock speeds - you to use page up/page down to change values. I can get my memory up to almost 3000Mhz with this board. May try to hit 3200MHz at some point (the rate value for my Corsair Ram) but no complaints with what I am getting. Bios has individual fan control which I have nmot played with yet but seems to automatically down-volt my Fractal Design case fans (for some reason only when booted into Windows not in bios)

Great wee board, well laid out, solid functionality.The big thing many reading reviews will want to know - but these DO support 2xxx Ryzen chips with the firmware pre-installed now. The box had a small foil sticker on the outside confirming this, so it should be easy to quickly check before installation.One word of advice - be sure to update the firmware before messing with any of the BIOS settings - as you really want a pair of decent (3200mhz+) DDR4 RAM modules to get the most out of the integrated graphics (benchmarks are up to 40% faster frame rates with 3200mhz vs 2100mhz memory!) - but the stock BIOS on the board (ver. F21) didn't like me setting my memory to 3200mhz. However,

Works with Ryzen3 2200G. Ordered 1st May 2018. Came with Bios F10. Cracking little board, good set of connections. All works fine, needed Bios update and also chipset drivers etc. Works effortlessly with two sticks of 4GB Patriot Viper 4 DDR4 running at 3000MHz straight off the XMP profile.One word of warning, mount your Ryzen Cooler with the AMD logo on the opposite side of the memory modules. Having only previously installed full size ATX boards, I just installed the cpu cooler without thinking, then went to add the memory, which wouldn't fit. So I had to rotate 180deg. Picture attached to show the problem.Quick Tip: It failed to POST at first, I assumed old Bios but clearing CMOS solved the problem.Update 1Jun - Still running solid,

I have been using this motherboard for about a month now and so far it has served me well. I use it in a very small ITX case (Sharkoon QB One ITX) and the layout of this board works well. However, I would have liked to have seen more fan headers because it is very limiting only having 2 which means that in my case there isn't room for chassis fans as the headers are taken up by the water cooler. I use a Ryzen 7 1700x with this motherboard and the VRM gets very hot with no overclocking. This is likely due to the VRM heatsink being very small. Apart from that, there are plenty of USB ports, the WiFi seems to work well so far and overall I am happy with the purchase. However,

Very good motherboard, selected over other brands for gigabtye reputation and can actually turn the LED lighting off in the bios!Installation was easy and upon going to F4 bios and a little tweak with voltage was able to run RAM at 3200mhz no problem.Cable management was again easy with this motherboard with ports in good locations and SATA cables horizontally angled.The speedfan bios curves are excellent and really keep the system cool and quiet. There is 1 cpu header and 2 fan headers, so you may need a splitter if you have more fans that you want to control.Overall this is a excellent motherboard and now that RAM is able to run at full speed I would recommend as the top choice for mATX ryzen

The board looks cool, works ok and has a nice padded back plate that was easy to fit. I'm not giving it 5 stars because of two things - one is the poor CD installer which by default installs rubbish alongside your drivers (just get the most recent ones off the website if you can) and the other is that the back plate of the cooler is not attached to the motherboard when you remove the front brackets. That meant I needed somebody to help me to install the CPU cooler as you cannot hold the plate in place, push the cooler into position and screw the cooler in with two hands. Other motherboards have this plate stuck to the board with an adhesive - not sure why it isn't on this one.

When deciding which motherboard to go for, it was a toss up between this and another. I went for this one and have no complaints. Easy to set up, though RAM didn't run at full speed initially, which I had heard was a common problem. Never flashed a bios before, but this made it so simple and easy, and RAM was then running at full speed in no time. Has all the connections the average user is likely to need, easy to work with, and seems to be of good quality. Would recommend.Running with:- AMD Ryzen 5 1600- Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB- Corsair Venagance LPX (2x8GB)- SeaSonic - S12II 620W- Samsung 850 Evo 250GB- Western Digital Blue 1TB

GIGABYTE GA-AB350-Gaming 3 Next Gen AMD Ryzen. This motherboard a joy to use because buying a new CPU can sometimes be a challenge .Gigabyte is new brand to me because i normally use Asus motherboard,i was a little nervous to begin with straying from my comfort zone in terms of motherboard brands,but this Gigabyte caused me zero problems, my PC spec are Amd Ryzen 1700 and 8 GB of DDR4 and of course Windows 10.This Motherboard is well build and a breeze to and it also has a Q- connector for connecting your case to the motherboard .5 out 5 and i will look to Gigabyte for my future AMD builds...Buy this board will will not regret it
