Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro

Overview

I’ve not encountered any VRM issue despite having pushing the CPU to the limit beyond what most users would actually do. The board works great out of the box, comes with good set of features and is definitely of good value for money for builders on a budget.

I've tested a dozen or so X370 and X470 motherboards, the B450 doesn't feel any different. Yes, you will have certain restrictions mostly found in connectivity and PCIe lane distribution, but other than that, it's all the same really. So if one graphics...
