Customers find value in the B450M DS3H motherboard's M.2 slot, citing its usefulness for adding storage. However, a limitation noted by several customers is the small number of fan headers available on the board. This restricts the ability to connect multiple case fans. The presence of an M.2 slot and the limited fan headers are recurring themes in customer feedback.
So far so good! The only thing I didn't like is that is only has 2 fan headers. 1 for the cpu, and 1 for a fan, so I had to choose between the front or the back. I chose the back, and I ended up wiring the front to direct power from the PSU. The LED on the board is that little yellow strip on the bottom left corner... the BIOS gives some color options, but they aren't apparently for this particular strip of color because no matter what color I choose it stays yellow... yellow it is! The Ryzen 5 3600 I purchased dropped right in and is running beautifully. I will attach the diagrams that came in the box.

Looks so sweet in my new build! This was the final product needed to finish my build(minus a 3070ti, of course).

Inexpensive and very basic motherboard, but more stable than the fancy Asus ROG Strix B450 that I had before. Using it with a 2700X, 48GB at 3400MT, and a RTX 2070. 24/7 stable mining or gaming. Pretty solid for general use and gaming if you don't need extra features. The V2 version of the board has newer BIOS preinstalled that dropped support for some older CPUs in order to support newer CPUs right out of the box. Only a single M.2 slot; only 2 fan headers (CPU and SYS); only 1 RGB header (12v only, no 5v addressable/digital RGB, very few colors and modes); no VRM heatsinks; no dual BIOS fallback. On the plus side: decent BIOS (has all the usual AMD AGESA options, BIOS flashable over USB or internet, good fan curve control); memory OC stable with all 4 DIMM slots populated; really clean rear panel audio (not particularly loud, but dead silent noisefloor)
