💻 ASRock B450M PRO4-F AM4 AMD Promontory B450 DDR4 Quad CrossFireX SATA3 USB3.1 M.2 A GbE MicroATX Motherboard Review

This motherboard was quick and easy to install. But there are a few very important things that are not covered in the guide. You need a graphics card as the integrated graphics will not work with some processors.2. You must try to put RAM in slots A1 and B1. These were the only slots that suited me. If I put my RAM in a different combination (A1/A2, B1/B2 or A2/B2 - the latter is recommended online) my computer will turn on and do a reset cycle every 10 seconds with no video. 3. Install a new…
