Asus PRIME B350M-A technical characteristics

Unboxing and design

The new Asus PRIME B350M-A is presented with an AM4 socket and a B350 chipset to host the new AMD Ryzen R7, R5 and R3 processors manufactured at 14nm and that are becoming the new benchmark in high performance systems

In our case, it has arrived in neutral packaging, but inside we will find:

We leave you a rear view of the motherboard:

Asus is characterized by offering the best components on the market and with greater overclocking capacity. On this occasion, it has used VRM DIGI + technology to improve the stability of the system and to push your brand new AMD Ryzen to its limits, both by air and by liquid cooling. But we must be careful, since this plate is not focused for this purpose.

As we can see the 6 power phases are not protected by a heatsink. We believe that it would not have cost much to put one and make this motherboard one of the references in ultra compact equipment configurations. Hopefully in future revisions of the same Asus PRIME B350M-A it will incorporate it.

As power it has an EPS 8 connector to ensure maximum stability to the system. Important: We recommend reading our guide on the best motherboards on the market.

Accompanying the processor we can install up to 4 DDR4 RAM memory modules from 2133 MHz to 2400 MHz with a maximum capacity of 64 GB and in Dual Chanel configuration.

It has a PCI Express 3.0 to x16 expansion slot and two PCI Express x1 connections to expand with expansion cards.

We also find ample storage possibilities with SATA 6 GBp / s interfaces (8 connections), an M.2 NVMe connector compatible with PCI Express Gen 3 x4 32 Gb / s and a wide variety of USB connections.

The sound is signed by Realtek, although it doesn't live up to the 8 channel SupremeFX ROG technology. It will more than satisfy almost any entry line user.

Finally show you the rear connections that it incorporates:

1 x HDMI1 x DVI-D1 x D-Sub1 x LAN port (s) (RJ45) 2 x USB 3.1 (turquoise blue) 4 x USB 3.0 (blue) 3 x audio jack (s)

Test bench and tests

TESTING BENCH
Processor:	AMD Ryzen 7 1700.
Base plate:	Asus PRIME B350M-A
Memory:	Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR4
Heatsink	Stock sink.
HDD	Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB.
Graphic card	Nvidia GTX 1080.
Power supply	Corsair AX860i

To check the stability of the AMD Ryzen 1700 processor at stock speeds and the motherboard we have stressed with Prime 95 Custom and air cooling. The graphics we have used is an Nvidia GTX 1080, without further delay, let's see the results obtained in our tests with a monitor of 1920 x 1080, 2K and 4K.

BIOS

Asus maintains all the benefits of a high-gam motherboard with its UEFI BIOS. In it, it allows us to monitor temperatures, overclock from BIOS and modify the profiles of each of the fans. The result is very good in general.

Final words and conclusion about Asus PRIME B350M-A

The Asus PRIME B350M-A It is a microATX motherboard with a very pleasant design to look at and with high quality components. A good sound card, 64GB of DDR4 memory and a variety of rear connections.

The only downside that we find is that it does not incorporate heatsinks in the power supply phases, since for a little more other boards it offers a similar performance but with better cooling. We are confident that Asus will launch a new review with heatsinks.

In our tests we have been able to verify that with the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 we have obtained great performance together with an 8GB Nvidia GTX 1080.

We recommend reading the best motherboards on the market.

Currently we can find it for about 99 euros in the main online stores. A highly recommended purchase if you have no intention of overclocking?
