Best B350 MoBo under 100 bucks for R5 1600

[Kresh1k]

Whatsup guys
What B350 Motherboard with the costs of 100 bucks or lower and 4 RAM slots would you recommend? I will overclock the 1600 at some time, so it should handle a little bit of OCing, like 3.8GHz.

Kind regards

Go with the MSI tomahawk.

^ gigabyte gaming 3 and MSI Tomahawk. both r stable with high speed rams for now.

I think I will go with the ASUS Prime Pro/Plus. It id quite cheap right now and has a ton of positive reviews. What do you guys think?

 

[GamingEnthusiast420]

The Pro has a couple RGBs, better OC capability (X370 Chipset) while the B350 plus is more basic. Both are good choices, Asus makes great motherboards.

Ah, it is NOT the Pro, it is the Plus. I just could not remember the exact name. It is a B350 Motherboard. Do you think it is still a good one? Does that have LED lights as well? At least it says so on the product description.

 

[GamingEnthusiast420]

The plus is the B350. It may have an light strip on the bottom but probably not.

 

[Kresh1k]

Yeah, it says here: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-B350-PLUS/

"LED illumination: Lighting control for both PCIe slot and audio trace paths" xD

Well, its at least something. I guess you cannot expect to have fancy LED lights at this price cathegory. The most important thing is that it works properly though.

go with b350 pc mate its basicaly cheaper tomahawk ....

 

[FullmetalJacket]

Agree
MSI as above

The PC Mate has quite poor features for the money imo, and the extra budget is there so why restrict yourself?
It only has 2x USB 2.0 and 1x USB 3.0 on the rear IO.
