Review on πŸ’» ASRock B450M PRO4-F AM4 AMD Promontory B450 DDR4 Quad CrossFireX SATA3 USB3.1 M.2 A GbE MicroATX Motherboard by Esera Warren

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great budget board at Computer Components

It's as good as a budget board at only $70. The 3x2-phase VRM with integrated heatsinks does a great job of slightly overclocking the Ryzen 3700X. 2 full size PCIE slots. Comes with ready-made BIOS for Ryzen 3000. No player throws out BS color LEDs. If you can buy the Pro4 version without the F for the same price, do so because this version has USB 3.1 gen2 with a transfer rate of 10Gbps, while this board only has gen1 with 5Gbps. The BIOS is pretty multifunctional for a budget board. However, the BCLK OC function does not work. Also, you cannot disable RGB on the Wraith Prism with this board. EDIT: I'm giving it 5 stars instead of 4 because Asrock did a good job updating the BIOS to AGESA 1.0.0.4 and now BLCK. Operating system works!
