ASRock AB350M-HDV Socket AM4/AMD B350/DDR4/SATA3&USB3.0/M.2/A&GbE/MicroATX Motherboard

Great mobo for the $$. This was a first pc build for me so I wanted something I could afford that offered what I needed. I bought a Ryzen 3 1300x and I'm able to get a stable 3850mhz overclock. You will have to update the UEFI if you want to clock your memory properly. I'm using a single G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 8GB 2800mhz.If you do plan on overclocking, the only problem I had was were the Clear CMOS jumper is located. It's just underneath the PCI Express where your graphics card goes and you definitely need to take that off to clear it.Other than that, the board is great looking and was great for the budget I had for my first build.

Update #2 - Today is April 18, 2022 and I have been running this motherboard with a 1rst gen Ryzen 3, overclocked since day ONE, since building the pc in 2017, when Ryzen was very first released. That's FIVE years ago & I have experienced NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER. Period. I have moved on, but the wife still uses this every single day for web surfing, email, Youtube & playing Facebook games. It will do older games too, again, I built it in 2017. Just wanted to set the record straight from alot of reviews from people who obviously don't know anything about building computers, acceptable failure rate on electronic items or evidently how return policies work.ORIGINAL REVIEW:Super experience, meets & exceeds every expectation I had. I didn't even realize it came with an M.2 slot, which, in case you didn't know, M.2 is a WICKED FAST storage option, making SSDs look like mechanical hard drives by comparison. It's literally as easy as install the components on the board, put the board in the case, hook up the various wiring, boot up the machine. It starts up and shows a screen saying to select something to boot to, so you stick the Windows 10 USB stick in and reboot. Once THAT'S done, run the driver disc that comes with the ASRock motherboard and FINISHED! Working computer, fresh as a daisy. ^_^Plus - and this is one of my favorite features of the ASRock AB350M-HDV motherboard - the BIOS pages which can be accessed before the loading of Windows by pressing F2, make overclocking as simple as clicking 'auto' over to 'manual' and putting in the speed you want the processor to run at. Save & Exit. Easy! I own an AMD Ryzen 1200 cpu, which runs normally at 3.1 GHz with a boost of 3.4 GHz(bought along with this motherboard and everything else to build a complete new system). The next cpu in the teir is the Ryzen 3 1300X, which runs at 3.5 GHz with a boost of 3.7 GHz... using the SUPER-EASY overclocking method listed above, I have been running my Ryzen 3 1200 at 3.5 GHz for over a month now, with just the stock cooler that comes with the cpu. No hiccups, no anomalies, runs smooth as butter. Thanks ASRock!UPDATE: Today is May 9, 2020 and I have been running my Ryzen 3 1200 overclocked at 3.5Ghz on this motherboard for almost 3 years now & I have had ZERO issues!!! Great job AMD & Asrock!

Pros:AM4B350 ChipsetCons:Only 2 DIMM slots on a mATX board (it's really closer to being mini-ITX in terms of lack of features)BIOS didn't come updated for Ryzen 2000 series APUsOnly one PCI-E x16 slot (I've had mATX boards that have two)Overall it's a solid budget motherboard, just know that if you plan on using a 2200G or 2400G you'll need to update the BIOS before you can use your chosen chip, so you'll either need a 1xxx series CPU + video card, a local store that'll do it, or to get the boot kit from AMD (I believe they send you a non-Ryzen AM4 APU and you just send it back when finished).

Asrock delivers again. This is a niche board, only 4 pin power so limited over clocking but has Video ports. I paired this with a Ryzen 5 2400G for an HTPC. Don't need much (if any) over clocking. Bios updates are easy, and got a POST on the first try. Zero problems and great BIOS. Asrock continues to amaze me as a system builder. This is easy to get going for a Ryzen build.

I bought r5 2400g witht the intent of building a low buget pc, i paired it with the asrock ab350m hvd, but apon assembly discovered that they are indeed not coherent. So im returning apu +mobo,

works but never shuts off fans when powered down

BIOS is simple to use and the price was right BIOS is allot more simple to use than my MSI 970 gaming but then again it is a gaming motherboard

I bought this card for my media center and use it to watch TV and stream Netflix, Amazon Prime... Or if the HDMI port works fine with the image, it does not work with sound. It seems you need to use the jack in the back to get the sound. So I cannot use my receiver that only accept HDMI for video and sound. Tried to contact support, and I have not heard back from them.

La monto da poco più di un anno e vi posso dire che mi trovo veramente bene,possibilità di fare overclocking moderato,supporta un sacco di ram in formato DDR4 fino a 32 GB 4000MHz di frequenza CL15/16, gli ho potuto montare un dissipatore liquido e un SSD in formato M.2 da 256 senza problemi, insomma se volete una scheda piattaforma AM4 per fare del gaming senza spendere tanto,questa è sicuramente un ottima soluzione(e c'ha pure il BIOS aggiornabile, però AMD sconsiglia)

Great quality

3 Stars is appropriate for this motherboard. You can OC, so that's a plus. CPU socket is nice and easy. I almost had a heart attack building with this thing thinking my RAM was incompatible because it wouldn't lock correctly. Turns out you just have to apply so much force the motherboard bends and looks like it's about to snap. Other than that, no issues.

A pesar de no ser una de las mejores motherboards para el AM4, si es de las mejores en formate mATX. Tiene bastantes puertos SATA asi como un M.2. Soporta los Ryzen y los APU AM4. Tiene solo dos slots de memoria DDR4 y salida VGA, DVI y HDMI si usan un APU, sino deben comprar una discrete card para el video.Si es por una mejor motherboard y puedes con el espacio de una ATX, recomiendo indudablemente la AB350 Pro4

Kann mich nicht beklagen.Bin von einem A320m Board zum B350 Board zum übertakten gewechselt.Komischerweise war das A320 Board 20 Euro teurer und kann weniger.Aber egal..Ich betreibe einen Ryzen 3 1200 auf dem Board, welches für diesen Prozessor einwandfrei funktioniert.Einbauen, verkabeln, PC starten und alles läuft.So muss das laufen und nicht anders.Kann das Board empfehlen, vor allem wenn ihr ein wenig übertakten wollt.Achtet nur darauf, das dieses Board nur 2 Ram Bänke hat, nicht wie einige anderen, 4 Stück.
