Gigabyte B450M DS3H (AMD Ryzen AM4/Micro ATX/M.2/HMDI/DVI/USB 3.1/DDR4/Motherboard)

Good value for money

it's good but expensive. and the place of the SATA connectors is bad- they came under the GPU, and this is very annoying because you won't be able to connect all the SATAs.

Excelente placa com ótimo custo beneficio.

Edit: MB died on 5 June 2022. Very good board. Was worried with some of the negative reviews but it worked like a charm for me. Anyone who built their own pc before should not hv a problem. Tips: take a pic of the front panel pins with description for easier zoom in when connecting the jumpers and make sure the positive + pins match jumpers with small arrow notch. Pw_led for 2 pins. Pwr_led for 3 pins connector depending on your PC case. Make sure pay attention to every detail the diagram. I.e slots 1 and 2 for dual channel ram. Alternate layout. If you can assemble Ikea you can assemble this. My PC case came with a case fan with standard psu connector so I don't even need to use the motherboard fan header. M.2 slot is perfectly fine. Just unscrew the screw at the end of the slot, put it in and screw gently back. I am using integrated r5 2400g so didn't use the pci slots. Boots up the first time. Perfect. Delivered 24 Oct 2019 and box says supports ryzen 3000 desktop CPUs. So don't need bios flash.

This is a great board. It works well, its well specified, easy to install and it has been utterly reliable in service. I bought this at same time as another make of board and have been so impressed by this one and disappointed with the other make, that I have now bought another gigabyte to replace the other board. These boards do what they say on the tin. They may not be the best if you want fancy gaming facilities and bells and whistles, but if you want a solid and reliable board to build a high spec desktop or server, this does very well indeed. I have now used this board in small office fileserver and in a dedicated Video production workstation. In both applications it has proved 100% reliable

The only thing some users might not like it the position of one of four SATA ports. If you plug SATA cable that is not on 90 angle, it would be impossible to install full length graphics card. The board allows for overclocking, but it does not make it easy by providing +/- values listed. Instead user has to enter new values. It requires knowledge of voltages and frequencies to set up overclocking correctly. Provided by Gigabyte SIV software allows for easier overclocking and setting XMP for RAM. Unfortunately SIV does not display RAM (DDR4) speed correctly while displaying it's status. I think it's a Windows 10 issue. Thankfully, DVD disc provided with the motherboard has a CPU-Z that correctly displays RAM speed, so there is a way to verify that settings are applied correctly. I have used this mobo to build a home office PC with Athlon 3000G and it's build in Vega 3. It allowed me to reliably overclock APU to 4.025 GHz with core voltage of 1.4V. I'm using SATA SSD, so I have not tried NVMe functionality on this board. AMD claims that Ryzen is required for NVMe to actually work as a system drive, but there are reviews of systems with Athlon 3000G working fine with NVMe as a boot/system drive. It worked with Athlon 3000G out of the box without any firmware update, so it is Ryzen 3000 ready (3000G requires the same mobo firmware as ZEN 2 Ryzen processors). The board is not flimsy and seems to be well build. The built-in RGB lighting on thy mobo is basically an orange light that can be turned on or of. That's it. There is however an RGB header for other components. The one shortcoming is that there are only two fan headers, one for CPU and the other for the case, so in some builds it means that additional splitters controllers are required, or fans will have to work at constant speed being not controlled by motherboard. For the price it is still a very good product.

This board works great with my systems and I’ve had no problems. I did my first build and had some concerns reading the negative reviews. Don’t listen to them. This is a great mobo and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a budget mobo!
