Great Motherboard that works with 3800X
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Works with 3800X. So far I got it up to 4.3GHz stable. Mated with a Sarbent 1TB M.2.(SB-ROCKET-1TB), 4 stick of 16GB (MD4U163216CGDA), EVGA 700W (100-BR-0700-K1), and MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT EVOKE OC. Used the stock cooler that came with the CPU and a cheap generic case. The enabling the XMP did not provide any increase in my RAM performance. The RAM setting remain unchanged even with XMP enabled. Tried to take CPU up to 4.4GHz but it would revert back to 3.9GHz and I don't know why. Tip: Clear the CMOS if you happen to change setting in BIOS that makes it unbootable.

Great motherboard for my first pc build
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Love it bought this for my first build and love how it lights up because it also has rgb. If you want to not spend much this is a good MOB to get if you want to spend a little more get the b550 but this one will do. Its also future proof just in case you want to upgrade to a better cpu or gpu in the near future. If anybody is trying to build their first pc and don't know where to see if parts are compatible check out pcpartpicker.com thats what helped me pick my parts for my build.

Worked great no issues

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Used with a Ryzen 3600 and it booted up on the first try. This was my first time trying to build a PC. NOTE it has been announced that zen 2 won’t work with b450 motherboards so if you want an easy path to upgrade consider getting a b550 motherboard.

Answered by Sahaquiel
Q: QuestionWill the B450 Tomahawk Max support 3600 ram speeds?
Asked by Mike.
- A:Answer This board supports 3600 speed RAM. It does have a maximum limit of 64GB. If you plan on using Ryzen 3000 series processors, anything above the 3800x will run into a bottleneck due to memory starvation. You need 4GB/thread or the system swaps to ssd and that creates overhead that slows performance.
