Question What's the difference between these two ASRock B450M Steel Legend versions?

[CraigsCraig]

Hello!
I'm choosing a mobo and I chose the ASRock B450M Steel Legend. The problem is I found 2 versions and I don't know what to choose. Here are links for both of them.

B450 is an ATX board , B450M is the smaller Micro ATX board.

Both the pictures seem to display the B450M in their pictures

Same board , just main description in first link doesn't state it till second header.

There are apparently two versions of the B450M/B450 steel legends with different VRMs.
One with SM4337 and SM4336 and one with PZ0903PK and PK618BA.

Why is the price difference then?

What's the difference in the VRMs? Would I need to get the more expensive one if I want to OC?

Either one should be okay. If you want to OC invest in a better board like the Tomahawk max

Ok, but then still which one of these two is better

 

[rounakr94]

Both will perform similar, real world usage will not matter much.

In that case I guess the cheaper would be the better option budget wise. I also have one more question. Is the Pro4 a better option? I think it has better VRMs but just that. And probably that doesn't matter either as if I OC, it would be just a little bit

Yes Pro4 is a better option if you OC, but a 4phase mobo should be more than enough for 300-400Mhz increase. So you will be fine with the B450m SL

Ok thanks a lot. Is there anything else you can recommend instead of the Steel Legend? CPU: ryzen 5 2600
