We found the Gigabyte AB350M-Gaming 3 to be an excellent platform in the $100 range. If you want plenty of Ryzen cores in a more compact, lower cost platform, this is a good choice. We expect this to be a popular motherboard with AMD Ryzen 5 and later AMD Ryzen 3 series chips where overall system costs are lower.

It's a very close call between this and the Asus board, but ultimately we're going to have to give the thumbs up to Asus for its ease of setup and better audio...

After taking a look at this motherboard I can really say that AMD's B350 chipset is the sweet spot for user's who are building a new Ryzen system. While the B350 chipset is a little stripped down compared to X370 it has the essential features that most...

While most motherboards are designed to be performance workhorses, the Gigbyte AB350-Gaming 3 was designed to bring fun to system building. After all, that's what gaming is about, right? With two RGB LED headers (one of which supports RGBW LED) plus...

The motherboards name actually ended up being surprisingly fitting. The AB350 Gaming 3 ends up being a really a good A to B board. It gets you to where you need to go (good performance) without breaking the bank. They accomplish this with a much...

The excellent Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3 is our current pick as the best motherboard you can jam your Ryzen CPU into. At least it is until the AMD Ryzen 2 chips come out along with their new 400-series boards… though we've got a sneaky feeling things...

Mainboards für Ryzen-CPUs gibt es eine ganze Menge. Wir haben uns das Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3 genauer angesehen und können diesem Modell eine Ausstattungswertung mit 76,1 von 100 bescheinigen. Grund dafür sind auch die 1 x x16, 4 x x4, 3 x x1...

Giunti al termine di questa recensione è il momento di dare le valutazioni alla GIGABYTE AB350-Gaming 3, ossia una proposta che non possiamo dire abbia sfigurato. Il lavoro svolto da GIGABYTE, infatti, è ottimo, soprattutto a fronte di un prezzo di...

Na trhu je spousta výborných základních desek, jen za některé ty věci, jež většinou ani pořádně nevyužijeme, platíme i tisíce korun navíc. Nic proti tomu, jako nadšenci ty věci milujeme. Gigabyte ale přichází s deskou, která kromě pozlátka RGB...

Procesory Ryzen to niewątpliwie udane produkty. Łączą w sobie dobre możliwości i atrakcyjne ceny. Wymagają one jednak nowych płyt głównych z podstawką AM4 - czy ich ceny są równie atrakcyjne? Użytkownicy szukający kompromisu pomiędzy ceną, a...

The Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3 is a well-designed motherboard that targets B350 buyers with an appetite for features. Gigabyte cuts costs in areas such as the power delivery system in order to maintain 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 connectivity and Realtek ALC1220...
