Mainstream-motherboard (ATX) with AMD B350 Chipset, with 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 & 1x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4),1x M.2 (PCIe 3.0 x4) & 6x SATA 6G, 2x USB 3.1 & 6x USB 3.0, integrated RGB-LED LightingMotherboards with the AM4 socket serve as the platform for the AMD Ryzen (Summit Ridge)quad-core, hexa-core and octa-core CPUs as well as "Bristol Ridge" and "Raven Ridge" desktop APUsfrom the A-series with integrated GPUs unlike the old Athlon X4 which came without an iGPU. Theadvanced AMX X370, B350 and A320 chipsets are aimed at the enthusiast, mainstream and entry-levelsegments coming with an abundance of modern I/O interfaces and connectors for hardware peripherals,while additional data links are provided by the GPU/APU.

AMD LogoThe processor's integrated memory controller supports AM4 motherboards as well as fast and energy-efficient DDR4 RAM in dual-channel mode, as well as specialist ECC error-correcting memorydepending on the motherboard. The advanced "Zen" microarchitecture in conjunction with the AM4platform forms the perfect foundation for high-performance systems in a range of applications.

The Layout of the ATX-Format Gigabyte GA-B350-Gaming 3

The Gigabyte GA-B350-Gaming 3 is a motherboard utilising the ATX format and comes with alightning-fast 16x PCI-Express 3.0 slot with x16 lanes. Furthermore there is a PCIe 2.0 x4 slot availableas well as a PCIe 2.0 x4 slot as well as three PCIe x1 slots for additional expansion cards. The four RAMslots can accept up to 64 GB DDR4- RAM at a maximum speed of 3200 Megahertz. The range ofinternal connectors includes, among other things, a header for USB 3.0 and two headers for USB 2.0 fortwo and four ports respectively.

Special Features at a Glance:

  • 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 for high-end graphics cards
  • 2x USB 3.1 + 1x Turbo M.2 slot PCIe 3.0 x4
  • 4-Pin LED header & 5x PWM fan ports (4-pin)
  • DDR4-RAM at up to 3200 MHz
  • Gaming RGB-LED lighting
  • Modern UEFI-BIOS and temperature sensors

Data storage devices like SSDs and hard drives are managed on the board via six SATA 6G ports (incl.RAID support) as well as a horizontal M.2 slot which is connected by means of four PCI-Express 3.0lanes and provides high speeds of up to 32 Gbit/s. M.2-SSDs measuring from 42 to 110 mm inlength can be used and furthermore the cutting-edge NVM-Express protocol is supported which has beenspecially optimised for the highly-parallelised data access of modern PCIe-SSDs.

A further highlight of the Gigabyte GA-B350-Gaming 3 includes both USB 3.1 ports on the I/O shield aswell as RGB-LED lighting and a 4-pin LED header. Last but not least the board can support five fanswith 4-pin-PWM connectors directly on the motherboard. To the rear of the motherboard is located an I/Oshield which offers access for additional devices and components via USB 3.0, Gigabit LAN, universalPS/2 or five audio jacks and a S/PDIF output to connect 7.1 sound to the Gigabyte GA-B350-Gaming 3.The motherboard also supports display output via integrated APU-GPU (optional) with two monitoroutputs: HDMI and DVI-D.

Compatibility Note for CPU Coolers Utilising AMD Socket AM4:

Due to the revision in mounting hole distances for the new AM4 socket, CPU coolers with rear mountswill - compared with preceding sockets e.g. AM2(+), AM3(+) or FM2(+) - require AM4-compatiblemounting brackets. Please ensure compatibility prior to purchasing. CPU coolers that are attached directlyto the retention bracket of the motherboard retain compatibility.
