Review on 🎮 ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming II AMD AM4 (Ryzen 5000, 3rd Gen Ryzen) ATX Gaming Motherboard: 8+4 Power Stages, HDMI 2.0b/DP, 2 x PCIe 3.0 x16, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, BIOS Flashback, 256Mb BIOS Flash ROM by Michael Moulton

Introducing this MB with Ryzen 5 2600 processor, GAMMAXX 400 tower cooler, Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000MHz, 16GB RAM in a Corsair Carbide 100R mid-tower with 4 fans. Went with a push-pull configuration on the tower cooler with the included RGB fan to push and a Noctua NF-P12 Redux 1700rpm fan to pull. So 6 fans total and I'm still having trouble cooling the VRM. I pretty much have to turn my house's heating down to 65°F if I want my CPU/VRM to stay below 80°C when stress testing for stability. The highest 100% stable OC I can realize with this VRM is 4GHz CPU and 3000MHz RAM. I can easily overclock it to 4.2GHz CPU / 3200MHz RAM for testing, but my computer isn't exactly stable at those speeds and I get a black screen. However, at 4k/3k there will be no problems. A few simple tweaks (like a real VRM heatsink) would make a world of difference here. I HATE saying this, but. Choose the MSI B450 Tomahawk or Pro Carbon if you want the highest budget. Possibly B450OC. And don't believe the paid YouTube reviewers who say this MB is the best, because it DEFINITELY isn't. That's all.
