Review on GIGABYTE B450M DS3H V2: The Ultimate AMD Ryzen Motherboard with Micro ATX, HDMI, DVI, and USB 3.1 Support! by Francis Vasquez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Does not support Athlon 3000G

I ordered this motherboard for a rebuild along with an Athlon 3000G APU and a TeamGroup 3200 DDR 16GB kit. Out of the box it wouldn't start and just showed a black screen (although the fans and MB lights did light up). I did a little research online and found that some of these B450 boards need a BIOS update to use the newer processors. I took the Athlon 200GE from another computer and was able to install Windows and update the BIOS to the latest version (F60c dated 10/29/20). I switched the processor back but it still showed a black screen. I'm not sure what they mean when the description says "Supports Athlon with Radeon Vega Graphics" but the one I got didn't.

Pros
  • Complete kit
Cons
  • Out of date
