Review on ASRock B450M PRO4 AM4 AMD Promontory B450 Motherboard: Enhanced Performance with SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.1, HDMI, Micro ATX by Eh Wah Paw ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No complaints, I recommend to buy.

A very budget-friendly anti-crisis office and gaming solution was required.)) An assembly with a Ryzen 3 3200G processor, a Toshiba P300 1Tb hard drive, a G. Skill Aegis 8Gb x 2 RAM, a DeepCool Grammax 200T cooler cost 18,900 in the summer of 2022. It launched immediately with the new processor. It turned out that you can disperse it a little. The processor in turbo mode accelerates to 4.0-4.1 MHz when the core supply voltage rises to 1.35 V. The memory started up even at 3400 MHz, but I practically did not feel the difference. The graphics overclocked from the nominal frequency of 1250 MHz to 1800 MHz, that is, by 44% when the voltage on the GPU increased to 1.25 V. For the 4-core variant in August 2022, this was the best budget solution in this price range with the prospect of an upgrade.

Pros
  • The price / quality ratio is quite acceptable. Earned immediately. Allows moderate acceleration. The graphics core is more than enough for office applications. It is quite enough for toys in a sparing mode (without fanaticism). The board has three different video outputs, sound and video are quite decent. Good and inexpensive board on socket AM4.
Cons
  • The latest driver v202220222022_19H1_WHQL produces a green screen when using a dynamic video splash screen. I had to install an older version v2022.502022.01_WHQL and everything became fine.
