Just got a notification from CamelCamelCamel, an all-time low on Amazon at least. And a couple of dollars cheaper than it was with a recent ebay sale, and should be able to get a few more dollars from cashback. Great board to pick up for those who are looking at the Zen 2, Ryzen 3000 series CPUs. Has a BIOS Flashback button, allowing you to update to the latest bios for Zen 2 support without a currrent gen CPU. Has recieved many favourable reviews (example 1,2,3).
Personally already ordered one myself.

    Wow. Good deal. Was just lookout at this yesterday. I don't thinks it has wifi. I'm tossing between tbis and the Aorus B450 pro WIFI. What do you guys reckon? I would prefer a built-in wifi but at this price, it's tempting indeed. Mmm.

      Often it's more expensive to buy a motherboard with WiFi rather than buying one without and then buying a PCIe WiFi card to add afterwards but you should consider both.

      Aorus B450 Pro Wifi

      Reviews look pretty similar for both boards, if you can find one for around the same price it would be more of a preference by the looks. Might be able to find some comparisons and whatnot on youtube but you're probably pretty safe with both.
      Actually saying that what it does lack is the BIOS flashback button, meaning you have to go to a little more effort to get it going with a Zen 2 CPU. You can either find a cheap AM4 CPU thats supported to slot in and run a BIOS update, or wait for the Zen 2 release and some stores will update the BIOS for you (I know Umart does at least).

    So I have a PC mate pro b350, would I need to format my PC with a fresh install of windows if I grab this or should I be fine since I'm neither changing the chipset and/or the manufacturer. Currently have a ryzen 1700 , both MOBO are MSI.

    I just want better vrm and to undervolt a bit better since PC mate doesn't let me go below 1.3v vcore by default.

      Shouldn't need to at all unless any obvious issues show, usually you are pretty safe swapping components. The only precaution I would take is sign into a microsoft account on Windows 10 to link the activation to your account. Because Windows is infamous for throwing a hissyfit with activation anytime you swap a core component like a motherboard or CPU.

        That's right. Since I'll be swapping my motherboard, how can I transfer my Win 10 product key to the new motherboard? Thanks.

          Signing into a microsoft account through windows should link it to your account and make it transferrable.

    Good motherboard!
    Continuously updated too.

    Just don't be a noob like me who assumed this has ARGB header, it doesn't. Just the normal 12v led header. :D

    Excellent Mobo! Initially I wanted the Strix because it looks so damn good, but in the end common sense prevailed and I got this one due to the superior VRMs and lower price.

  • LolwutMikka on 01/07/2019 - 18:28

    Will this be compatible with the Crucial P1 1TB NVMe found here?

  • jasswolf on 01/07/2019 - 18:38

    Interested to see if anyone has some comparison points on this vs. the MSI B450-A Pro, which aside from a weaker feature set (no USB-C) is largely identical.

    Do the larger VRM heatsinks make a big difference?

  • crowyourboat on 11/07/2019 - 15:27

    price has gone back up to $180+, shame!

      Add it to camelcamelcamel, I've had to turn of my notifications for it because i was getting a price drop alert every day! Sure it'll be down again soon.
