ASRock AB350 Gaming K4 Sockel AM4

This seems very solid in operation, I am using a Ryzen R5 1600 CPU, ADATA XPG 16 GB (8 GB x 2) Z1 DDR4 2400 MHz CL16 Memory Modules, Palit slipstream GTX 1080 and a Hybrid drive. Good selection of USB ports 6 USB 3.0 on back panel and a header for 2 more, only 2 USB 2.0 Ports but 2 board headers meaning you can add 4 more. (Only 2 from each header.) It also has 3 fan headers, I only use two fans in my case and the temperature of both cpu and board is O.K there is only 1 Sensor on the mother board. This does seems to run a lot cooler than the older AM3 chipset that the FX8350 CPU used.

Really nice and affordable board for my new Ryzen.It's cheap enough, but good quality, so no reason to be concerned!All the new stuff like M2 ports and USB 3 headers are there. There is enough ports for everything pretty much. Please note that there are 3 fan connections - I was stupid enough not to note that and have one spare fan now...UEFI is great! I didn't update yet, cause it's stable enough. No problems.Installation is straightforward. Software is good. And a really cool looking board.Minor issues:The red light of board heatsink can not be changed to any other colour. I have blue LED fans, so it's out of place. However you can turn it off easily.

Great board and the vrms are well cooled and the power delivery seems good too. managed to get a ryzen 1200 to 3.7ghz on the stock cooler without touching the voltages. Running prime 95 at about 50c so pretty sweet!

Decent board for the price with a good range of features. No issues during set-up and works well with the components I had.

im a novice but i followed instructions and overclocked cpu and set ram times in the bios no probs

- Excellent value for the features you get for the price.- Overclocking performance very close to or even matching that of X370 motherboards. TweakTown's review shows it can handle an 1800X at 4GHz with proper cooling.- 2 M.2 slots, one of which supports up to 32Gbps and the other at 20Gbps. There's pricier X370 motherboards that have only one!- 2 RGB headers on the top-right which are easily accessible.- All fan headers are 4-pin and support PWM.- BIOS has lots of options while keeping a simple, straight-forward layout that's easy to navigate. CPU frequency can be entered manually, lots of speed profiles for the fan headers (including custom), and BIOS can be updated using the Instant Flash option.- Recognized my Flare X 16GB RAM kit at the proper speed and timings no problem (2400, 15-15-15-39).- Nice aesthetics.This is a mid-range motherboard with features and performance found on higher-end motherboards. My complaints against it are minor for the most part, and it more than makes up for its shortcomings overall. To me, only the ASUS ROG Strix B350-F has comparable price-to-performance/features, and even then this one has the two M.2 slots and a seemingly better BIOS and RAM support. The award it received from TweakTown is well-earned.

It's half the price of X370 because it does half the job. For gaming, go for high end motherboards and don't be cheap.
