The MSI X370 Gaming pro carbon has been rock solid for me and it works at the right memory speed to0. The only issue is that MSI are slower than others to release updated BIOS.

Yeah, it looks like it will settle at £105-£115 from what I can see. Looks like a nice board, and if it is as good as the ASRock B350 Fatl1ty board for £100, then it may be worth getting for the next couple of builds I am looking at. Although I am supposed to be doing Ryzen 3 builds soon as well, and these might be overkill for them. :)

I would have a gander at the ASRock AB350M:

For under £70 it seems to have a very solid looking VRM section!!

I've only ever owned MSI motherboards and never had an issue with them. I do wonder if I'm missing out so may try another brand for a change next time. Their BIOS could probably do with better options from what I've seen and I like the look of the Gigabyte dual BIOS.

Some really good value AM4 boards around, great value CPU's, it's just the price of DDR4 that spoils the party. Halve the current price and you'll have a really good package.

I think I can hang on for Zen2 so hopefully by then prices will have calmed down.

Yes, I've looked at that one a few times, but needed full ATX for the last lot of builds I was doing. However maybe the R3's will justify such a board, especially since I may be re-using older cases for them. :)

Yeah right, 4670k beats almost every other Intel offering? Even though it's slower turbos and older tech?

Something seriously wrong with their results. Am I meant to take from the results that my 4670k is the best value for money cpu ever?
