Does Gigabyte's offering have the correct mixture of features and performance to prove itself as a worthy option?ĭDR4 Dual channel, 4 DIMMs, up to 64GB, up to 3200MHz with OC (with a Ryzen CPU)ĭVI-D and HDMI ports for use with AM4 APUsġx PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16 for Ryzen, wired to the CPU)ġx PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, wired to the chipset)ġx PCIe 2.0 x16 (x1 mode, wired to the chipset)ġx M.2 SATA 6Gbps or NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 (with Ryzen CPUs) or PCIe 3.0 x2 (with AM4 APUs)Ħx USB 3. With a recent price drop from £116.99 to £104.99, the Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3 is placed to compete against the ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4 and MSI B350 Tomahawk, both of which we have reviewed recently. Offered alongside those hardware features are Gigabyte's crown jewel software features – RGB Fusion and Smart Fan 5. Instead of focussing on maintaining a particularly strong power delivery solution and ample VRM cooling, Gigabyte instead invests in faster USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, a better audio solution, and more SATA ports. The Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3 looks to switch the focus in comparison to B350 competitors at this price point. The AB350-Gaming 3 is built around AMD's value-orientated B350 chipset but with sprinkles of quality from Gigabyte, such as 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2, Realtek ALC1220 audio, and strong RGB LED capability.
