GIGABYTE B450M DS3H AMD Ryzen AM4/M.2/HMDI/DVI/USB 3.1/DDR4/Micro ATX/Motherboard

Pretty solid board. I bought 2 of these and both work well and were overall easy to set up. While it is in the description i missed it. Small gripe but there is only one cpu fan header and one other fan header. I ended up having to use a splitter, as one case fan wasn't going to split it. I recognize b450 boards are smaller but given modern components, i can't conceive of a built that doesn't need multiple case fans. Even the pc i built for my wife that i built without a gpu required 2 case fans in addition to the cpu cooler; (large 200mm in the front and a 140mm in the back) might not be an issue for you if your case has built in fan support.But again, even 2 fan headers would have been fine.Additionally there is not a real case manual included with the board although you can download it from gigabyte's website. Would have liked to see that included, as i needed it to connect the case headers etc.I have the latest x470 version as well from gigabyte and it includes multiple fan headers and the full board manual... It as well costs 3 times as much.All in all, a lot of value here for a relatively inexpensive board.

It's a monster. Crushed every benchmark, plays smoothe on ultra high and custom settings.

Once i finished my build and installed the os on my ssd, i connected my hdd to the board. My ssd is connected to sata 0 and my hdd was connected to sata 1. I formatted my drive, and immediately, i encountered problems. There was a continuous buzzing noise coming from my speakers, everything was frozen, and i was unable to shutdown my pc by holding down the power button. Since i added the hdd last, i thought my problems were because i received a faulty hdd. I ended up returned it to the seller and buying an hdd from a more reputable brand, but i was encountering the same issues with my new hdd. I figured that the problem was probably due to the sata cable or the sata port on the motherboard. So far, no issues with the sata 2 port, so my sata 1 port must be faulty.One other thing that bothered me while attaching things to the board was the difficulty i had reading the labels for the front panel connections (since the text was small).First build, and for the price and issue, i don't think it's worth it to rma, but i'm pretty disappointed that there is a lack of quality control.Other than the above, i've had no issues with the board, and my games are running smoothly.Edit: actually, the problem does not appear to be a sata port at all! In fact, it appears that i'll have to rma my motherboard after all. So i started getting the same issue where my computer would crash if i was using it normally such as browsing the internet or copying files to my c drive. I called gigabyte support (very nice and helpful) who instructed me to test with a single stick of ram. I tested both sticks individually, and i was still having problems, so they question me to reinstall windows 10. Once i do, it's a nightmare installing my gpu drivers. My computer constantly freezes in the middle of installation. On top of that, i cannot even test if my gpu is causing the problems because if i completely remove my gpu and connect my hdmi monitor to the motherboard, nothing posts. I checked the bios settings as well to see if i could use the motherboard hdmi slot, but the only display option i saw was pci-e slot 1.The funny thing is, i encounter zero issues when playing games, but i'm literally unable to use my pc normally, so i don't think the issue is something other than the motherboard. I'm honestly at the end of my rope here. I'm going to rma this one, but in the future, i think i'll stay away from gigabyte.

Good board with 2200g, intel 660p 500gb m2, kingston hyper x, 2666 mghz 8 gb ram, cpu vega graphics didn't work until i upgraded win 10 pro 64 to 1803 upgrade! Now everything is good, network driver gave me a problem until i downloaded the right driver, and very pleased with their performance of it coming from an fx 8300 , gigabyte 990 motherboard with 16 gigs of ram, 256gb ssd and a powercolor red dragon 4gb video card, running stock i believe the ryzen has better video color and graphics and runs the same games right on par with the fx machine. A special thank you to gigabyte support team they were in touch with me within a day and actually robert help me figure out that it was the windows 1803 update that i needed.

this is nice

Love it

A solid budget motherboard with acceptable vrms and decent features. The only potential drawback is the odd placement of two sata headers which may be troublesome for definite larger graphics cards.

Buena tarjeta madre todo bien

Would not recommend, i always treat my hardware with extreme care, to the point i even wear gloves when installing. And this motherboard was nothing but problems from day one. Constantly freezing on the bios/uefi splash screen, failing to output any video signal, not recognizing ram (ram which by the way was on their compatibility list) all in all i just have to say stay the hell away from this board. Personally if this is the kind of qc i can expect from gigabyte i will never be buying one of their products again.

Flimsy board that kept freezing and progressively died over the course of the month. Returned and bought an msi gamer plus mobo.
