    ASRock AB350M Pro4

    If you can spend a bit more, you might want to go for other other more expensive board. "TUF B350" might be a good choice with 6 SATA connectors in a much better placement. The design and placement of the 4 SATA ports on AB350m pro4 are not ideal. Due to the thickness of the sata heads...

    P4.5 Bios do not let users change the DRAM frequency? My P3.3 bios do let me change DRAM frequency and voltage. Please revisit this review article "Cinebench CPU test" There's no way a 2600X can get over 2000pts, and make sure all data are correct. e.g "Bioshock Infinite frame rate variation"...

    This may all not be a design flaw but "is functional by design as a backdoor to professional hackers, legel, and illegal organization that had been informed about the backdoor." NSA is one of the publicly known organizations. The leak of the backdoors is however undesirable to the...

    I bought a Viper 4 DDR4 3400 (red) for my ASROCK AB350M, theres no option to choose DDR3400 on the mobo, the working option is DDR3333 It will work but you have to manually switch some DRAM timings to "auto" or else it will crash the system With RYZEN 7 1700 @ 3.9, the CPU passmark raise from...
