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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The quality was disappointing, the product is bad.

Mat. B450M DS3H won't start with Ryzen 7 1700x. I bought a new one, in a large 2022 online store. It reacts to the power button, the LED strip on the board lights up, the cooler on the processor spins up and that's it. In the minimum possible configuration: percent, power supply (powerful), mother, speaker - even the speaker does not squeak about the lack of RAM. Just do zero - n and h e g o! On the forum (forum. Gig*yte. Ru) they rub the game about the fact that gigabyte motherboards really don’t like the wrong memory / about the fact that you need to insert the correct memory so that the correct memory “pushed” the wrong memory and other obscurantism (what for me such dancing? ). For some, from the same forum, this behavior is a mat. GIGABYTE boards are treated by juggling the processor in the socket, which indicates the excellent quality of the sockets that are used in their product. Imagine yourself in my place if you want to buy this board: You bought a B450M DS3H, bought a CPU (from the list of supported ones), bought memory (from the list of tested ones), got a working powerful PSU and a working video card from the last working computer. Everything seems to be OK, you collect it and . it does not turn on, there is nothing on the screen. Okay you think. Pull out everything superfluous (video card, RAM) You think: "Now I'll make her speaker squeak about the lack of RAM, to make sure that it comes to trying to initialize the RAM" Well, she does not squeak in the end. And you're like: "What kind of it? It's new from the store? ! And the percent is new . The legs are all intact, not bent, the holes in the socket are not stained with thermal paste, you know what a "zero insertion force" is - everything should be clear! ". "Defective processor? " - THE PROBABILITY IS EXTREMELY SMALL! You understand that you have a fun night ahead of you. In an attempt to get to the bottom of the truth, you begin to gently juggle the percentages in it, throw other power supplies into it, fiddle with the speaker, CLR_CMOS, battery, then all together at the same time . And by the morning you already know exactly how to solve the problem: Send her back to the brothel Everything that is written is fiction, coincidences are random.

Pros
  • Couldn't rate.
Cons
  • Did not start (with Ryzen 7 1700x) No documentation (in the box with the motherboard was in French) There is no block diagram of the motherboard in the documentation There is no decryption of POST codes in the documentation
