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

Product Information

It's our opinion that the B450 version is a better buy and not just because it's ~30% cheaper, but because you get Intel dual band Wireless-AC and Bluetooth 5.0, the only things missing are two SATA ports and a third PCIe x16 slot, both of which you're unlikely to miss.

AMD Ryzen series CPUs (Raven Ridge) support DDR4 3466+(OC) / 3200(OC) / 2933 / 2667 / 2400 / 2133 non-ECC, un-buffered memory * AMD Ryzen series APUs (Renoir) support DDR4 3200 / 2933 / 2667 / 2400 / 2133 ECC & non-ECC, un-buffered memory * The PRO 4-F has fewer fan headers than the PRO 4 (still better than many other MATX motherboards that usually only have 2). The stand out feature of this board is that power delivery components have decent heat sinks including the chip that supports video out if a processor with built in graphics is installed. AMD Ryzen series CPUs (Raven Ridge) support DDR4 3200+(OC) / 2933 / 2667 / 2400 / 2133 non-ECC, un-buffered memory *

If the same is fitted in the other slot then SATA port 3 on the motherboard is disabled. This will limit you to 3 storage devices on the 4 SATA ports should a M.2 board be present.

A USB C port can be found on the rear of the board. The various connectors on the motherboard were all laid out in good locations including side exit SATA ports. For your money there is AMD Crossfire support (2-way) so you could potentially run a single dual processor graphics card in the 1st slot nearest the processor OR a single processor graphics card in each slot (with a slight performance hit). NVIDIA SLI is not officially supported.
