Gigabyte Gaming 3 AB350M seems to have the LED/RGB you want, but I can't recommend its overclocking at all. Basically the moment you set the speed above 3.6, it whams the volts up to 1.40-1.45. This may be ok if you wanted to be super aggressive with the OC anyway, but if you just wanted a cool running 3.8 you're out of luck. Very good cooling required, my 240mm AiO is not up to the job
Odd. What BIOS are you running?
I have this board with a 1600 at 3.8 and vcore is (manually) set to 1.284.
That's with the F6 BIOS.
Built 3 now with hynix based ram, all hit 3200 fine via XMP (16GB)
2 lpx (Freinds) and one is hyperx (mine) Had to up the voltage to 1.4 for the hyperx though
Also F6... I have no manual voltage option, only offset, and if I apply a big negative offset it won't boot overclocked :/
I've found a couple of others here and on reddit who share my problem, and I think we all have 1600X's - it's possible that Gigabyte have got some very odd settings for X chips going on :/ If that's the case I'm rather regretting my decision... although to be fair, it runs 3.691 on all cores at around 1.23v, so the difference is negligible, plus it does still XFR boost to 4.1(ish) for single thread. It's not worse than an OC'd 1600, just annoying that I can't even try to overclock it.
Unless there is a magic trick to accessing the underlying voltage settings?
Decided to try out the Ryzen 3 for a bit of fun to see what kind of performance I can get from the cheapest Ryzen. So far I have a stable 3.9GHz at 1.275v which sounds quite good.
On stock cooling the temperature maxes out at 65 degrees after 30 minutes of prime95.

Mine don't. Boot loop at DOCP 3200Mhz even with 1.4v dram and soc 1.1. It is fie at 3066mhz tho.
I only had the offset option as well. Sorry - I meant manual as opposed to auto, not that it could be manually set to a specific voltage :-/
I set it to +0.042 to get it running at 1.284 whilst under load.
It sounds like it’s related to the X chips with this board/BIOS then. Hopefully they’ll sort it out in a future BIOS.
Is that ~3.7/4.1 with the BIOS set to auto?
Same for me with Corsair LPX. Cannot get them above 3066, but they work fine without any changes at that speed.

After a few months for just DOCP at 3066 one blue screened on me, so I upped the volts and set the soc.
Only thing different is MB going on your sig, All gigabyte boards, 2 ab350 gaming and mine is the K7
Don't know if it's the same in all board BIOS but don't use the DOCP simply set the speed. DOCP changes more than just ram on Asus anyway, you might have more luck without it.

I was actually looking to get the gigabyte one, I thought it did have an RGB LED header, but it actually doesn't.
Which one?
Does anyone have any more suggestions?

ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4 has been great for the build I have been doing.
Discovered last night that it doesn't have an RGB led either... some online vendors say it does, but the only "adjustment" in Gigabyte's tool is the pulse frequency. Other than that, it's just a glowing red stripe of red glowyness.
Misinformation abounds on this one
Unfortunately that's full ATX
Yeah, when looking at some photos of it, I realised it didn't have a RGB header. When checking the product page it doesn't actually reference any RGB related stuff either.Discovered last night that it doesn't have an RGB led either... some online vendors say it does, but the only "adjustment" in Gigabyte's tool is the pulse frequency.

Doesn't seem to be Gigabyte's fault at least, but there's a lot of mixed statements on vendor pages. Even OCUK says it has rgb headers :S
