Looking good !
Are you able to install AIO to too without any clashes ? Recommend doing this, yes it pulls warn air through the unit and out the case but won't effect temps to much, but means you can run front fans drawing cool air for GPU as CPU , as well as run them faster to get good possitive pressure in their to avoid dust being drawn in from unfiltered areas

Although I have seen you do intake from top and expelling out the front.

Hi orbital

Thanks for comments

I’ve had to mount the AIO Cooler at the front as due to size of b350 board it won’t mount at top of system, that’s why I have done intake at the top.
I did make a phone call to overclockers just to check on this as air rises I know and they said should be fine.
I think it’s the radiator on coolermaster masterliquid 240 lite is thicker than some too.

Quick question for you though mate, I have a Windows 10 pro 64 bit key and disc but cause I’m now going dvd less is there any other way I can install windows .

Cheap external DVD drive. Learnt the hard way ! Worth getting usb 3 if you can , plug straight to the back IO ports
Also you might find you have to install Mobo CD as Ethernet port not not work , nor wifi

I see, can't remember if the too mesh acted as a dust filters . Bit with enough pressure , should be ok. Might be worth getting the rear to intake as well, that way the left top fan won't lose out and will push GPU heat to the front as well

Yeah I have, I’ll have a look so have 3 intakes and cooler have has exhaust ?
I’ll have to have a look for cheap external then and delay starting up for few days

Pretty much, will give you possitive pressure , but again need filter for the rear fan

When you say filter for rear what sort of filter should I look at

Nice build. Your opinion on motherboard.

My board was faulty so need to purchase a different one, but Asus support isn’t very good

Gaming 3 most common spec'd for budget , but Aorus 5 on sale, does have better VRMs along with more VRM for power delivery and to keep the temps down . Normally to expensive but worth a mention on sale. Don't sell the Aorus K5 here which is a shame

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3 AMD B350 (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £86.99

1 x Gigabyte Aorus GA-AX370-Gaming 5 AMD X370 (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £149.99

Total: £248.08 (includes shipping: £11.10)

£30 off and £50 off

Cheers sir

I’m sure I’ve seen the k5 but here
PRODUCT INFORMATION:
GA-AX370-GAMING K5 AMD X370 (SOCKET AM4) DDR4 ATX MOTHERBOARD I think it’s that one

To be honest gaming 5 sale price matches it . Get the 5

K5 black out look is nice but 5 did have the more advanced bios at launch - k5 may have opened features but VRM count is increased on the White 5

Wow that does look nice

Tough decision to go for which one and if like you say not much difference between 5 and k5 in money wise

Get the 5 , specially on sale . If bios is still same, 5 has more options

Thanks sir, I will get that, is it worth updating the bios or not when arrives ? Is ram best in slots 2 an 4 ?

marco.da.man · 25 Nov 2017 at 11:09

I wish I had seen this and the 45 page thread on the b350f before i bought it. Hope mines goes okay. I suspect you get these problems on lots of mobos though? Anyway hope you can post some pics. Ive got the team dark ram too hope it works.

Hi Alex on Page 1 is the original build, when I add the new mobo and ssd when arrives I will put new pics on

looking good, no way to mount the AIO to the top ? or is it to tight ? cant remember if that AIO is 27mm thick

was too tight thats why had to go at front, might look at 360mm be quiet in 6 months time and also change top 2 fans to 140mm ones

marco.da.man · 5 Dec 2017 at 11:13

orbitalwalsh said:
the 280 version is pretty good to, cant remember in that case if going 360 at the front means you have to remove the HDD cage, but then again you might not be using it

can you recommend some 140 fans for top please a a 120 fan for back, i havent seen the 280mm version

wingboost , you can daisy chain the fans together and run them all PWM - handy feature , although helps if they all have same RPM range, 140 might spin slower or faster depending which is lead .

i think with specs i built now always better going for better option, learned that the hard way

Hey can anyone give me a quick TL;DR run down on the problems with the ASUS B350F.

I have a friend over in Holland with one and for love nor money we can't get his RAM to run at anything over stock speeds. Could it be the mobo?

my problems was with it booting up, fans and lights would be on, but no boot, then a few hours later it might boot but then on shut down the fans was still spinning.

has he adjust the docp in his bios settings so he can set his ram speeds at all ?
