GigabyteAB350-GAMING 3 (Socket AM4/B350/DDR4/S-ATA 600/ATX)

After trying the MSI B350 Tomahawk and not being able to boot after the BIOS update, and noticing that people had similar issues with ASUS's version, I decided to put my faith into Gigabyte. My faith was well placed, as it is now running totally fine without any crashes after installing the necessary drivers using the disc.With MSI and Gigabyte, I kept getting the CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT error, which I determined was due to outdated drivers. I suppose with MSI, I should have went straight for the driver installation disc, since attempting to download drivers just resulted in the computer crashing and losing all download progress. However, when using the Gigabyte driver disc, even if the computer crashed, the installation continue on reboot, thus finishing the installation and preventing any future crashes/errors.I suppose my main criticism would be that my Sound Blaster card doesn't fit on the motherboard – it would seem that the PCIe slot was placed a little bit too far from the desktop case back panel. But it's all good, since I didn't get this motherboard for that purpose and does exactly what I wanted/expected it to do – get work done efficiently and play games (Battlefield 1) in high quality. Very happy.

Wasn't sure about this motherboard but now it's here I'm really happy with it. Looks great, especially with the LEDs (which are totally customisable once you download the appropriate software, and they sync up with the LEDs on the Ryzen 1700 cooler too), and is fine for overclocking. Currently got my 1700 overclocked to 3.6GHz using the stock cooler with this board, which was a very easy process. Only problem is, like with most Ryzen motherboards at the moment, I had a bit of trouble getting my RAM to work at full speed with it but after a bit of tinkering have got my Corsair 3000MHz RAM running at about 2900MHz which is fine by me.Great motherboard for the price, definitely worth the buy.

This is a nice motherboard.. the manual is atrocious though. black n white pictures, badly printed, can barely see infomation detailed.Bios however is very detailed and easy to understand. Press F2 to access during bootup, took me about 10 attempts.. since niether manual nor screen helped. Bios loads so fast it's only onscreen for like half a second. 3 system fan/combination headers, 3rd can be used for water pump, only 4 sata connectors, so be careful if you have 5 devices to setup. You'll need a splitter and there isn't one in the box.Glad I bought the gigabyte tho, over the other manufactuers.

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

Motherboard works fine enough. But does not come with a back plate, so installing a fan is impossible unless if you already have the required back plate ready to put onto it with your CPU cooler. This is something that should come with the motherboard in my opinion and I'm genuinely annoyed that it doesn't state that it doesn't come with one in the description. All the computer repair shops I told about this were shocked it didn't come with one. Although none of them had any back plates either. So 2 weeks of waiting for one to arrive through eBay made me regret buying this motherboard. If you really do want this board, make sure you either have all the things you need to fit the cooler first or buy a back plate in advance.

I purchased this product almost a year ago (24th of June 2017) and although initially the motherboard worked well, it always had a poor UI in the UEFI (a much nicer UI is available on ASUS motherboards for example) which although disappointing is not really an issue as the majority of a user's time is going to be spent in the operating system, not in the UEFI.One thing missing for those who would like to future proof their setup is the addition of a USB type C port, but this motherboard attempted to make up for that by including a wonderful number of USB 3 ports (and a single USB 2 port), another thing that may appeal to some is the great support for RGB that is present on this motherboard.However recently during a firmware update (performed through the manufacturer's app center which is available on their support page for the motherboard) the motherboard has stopped responding to any inputs, not even getting far enough into the boot process to display the manufacturer logo. Despite advertising of having a dual bios system to prevent such issues being permanent (as the secondary firmware could take over) I have yet to see an evidence of this functioning.Therefore I cannot in good conscience recommend this motherboard to anyone, and am in the process of returning this motherboard for a refund

fantastic value ..looks epic.. will overclock my r5 1600 to 4.0 and adata xpg z1 ram oc to 3200 easysuggest if building with r5 1600 ditch the free cooler and get a cooler master 120 lite will allow gr8 oc looks the biz and will keep the cpu cooler than the fresh prince in the 90's lol.just buy a tower case with a window and rgb fans to match

Me vino con la BIOS R8 y ya está la R23, y con la que trae es sólo compatible con micros anteriores al nº 2000. Si casualmente tienes uno de esos, te aparecerá como error en la DRAM (tiene 4 leds de diagnóstico que orientan dónde está el error muy prácticos). Por otro lado con los disipadores grandes hay que quitar el soporte que viene para los normales por lo que es mejor hacerlo antes de colocarla (ver foto).Por lo demás me ha encantado su robustez, 4 USB 3.1, el LED configurable que ilumina toda la caja (programable para que se apague por la noche por ej.), la BIOS con todas sus opciones (curvas de rpm para cada ventilador, gestión de bomba para refrigeración líquida, etc), soporte para memorias SSD M2 de hasta 110 mm. de largo, y un largo etc que hará las delicias de todos los entusiastas de PC.Sólo tenía un pero, la conexión DVI venía con defecto de fábrica y el conector pequeño no entraba, no se puede usar.Muy completa para el precio que tiene.

Comprata quasi un anno e mezzo fa (pagata 120€) e di scelte allora ne avevo poche (ed unasola recensione su Amazon e in generale poch nel web) visto che i processori ryzen erano usciti dapoco più di un mese.Mi sembrava carina e fatta bene, formato ATX con rinforzo metallico su i due slot PCIe,RGB, slot M2 e tutto quello che deve esserci in una buona MB che si rispetti.I principali pezzi montati:CPU Ryzen5 1600RAM CorsairLPX Kit di Memoria RAM 2x4 GB, DDR4, 3000 MHzVCard MSI 760 2 Giga (comprata di seconda mano buona) che al momento mi basta.Non mi ha mai dato problemi in tutto questo tempo, facile aggiornamento del bios abbastanzaintuitivo (anche in italiano). Boot rapido.Che dire??... la consiglio anche se non posso fare paragoni con altre schede (che spesso nel webNON sono recensite con obiettività se sponsorizzate da youtuber "di parte") e semmai nellaremota possibilità dovessi cambiare sistema (cosa che con AMD non succede per almeno 5 anni e+) valuterei di dare un occhiata prima al brand Gigabyte.Sotto ho messo giusto un paio di foto tanto per...

Ich nutze das Mainboard zusammen mit meinem Ryzen 5 1600 der auf 4ghz getaktet ist (1.272V 6h prime stable). Die Bios Version bei Auslieferung war F7.Probleme beim Arbeitsspeicher gab es nicht, hier habe ich den Corsiar Venegance LPX 3000 verbaut, dieser läuft auch mit 3000mhz!Leider ist der Ram single rank und kein dual rank. Dual rank ist aber derzeit schwer zu bekommen, fast wie eine Lotterie (manchmal sind die Chips dual rank, manchmal nicht)!Den Onboardsound konnte ich nicht testen da ich eine extra Soundkarte habe.

Fonctionne parfaitement, très sympa esthétiquement avec ces led RGB.Si vous chercher un carte mere am4 au chipset b350 pour pas trop cher, cette carte fera votre bonheur.

Esta es la mejor placa para AMD Ryzen por el precio que tiene. De hecho, segun muchos benchmarks rinde a la altura de la gama X370 con las únicas diferecias que hay entre ambas plataformas (conexiones etc.).Anteriormente tuve una MSI B350 PC Mate (o MSI B350 Bazooka, es la misma placa con distinta estética), que tuve que devolver por poblemas de compatibilidad con la RAM. Pues decir que entre ambas placas la diferencia es ENORME, no se hasta que punto debido a la RAM incompatile en MSI, pero desde luego la diferencia de rendimiento tanto en tiempo de arranque como estabilidad o velocidad general del SO es enorme.La BIOS de la gigabyte tambien me ha gustado más que la de MSI, pero eso ya es una cuestión de gustos. En cualquier caso, esta cuenta con dual BIOS, de hecho creo que es la única placa B350 que cuenta con esta característica.Sin duda, con un presupuesto inferior a 150€ esta sería mi recomendación si buscas una placa B350. Si buscas una X370 no gastes menos de 150€ pues las 2 o 3 opciones que hay son peores que esta, por lo que mejor aumentar el presupuesto.
