ASRock B365M Pro4
 | Outdated Product £144.88 2019 multi-purpose compact microATX motherboard with LGA 1151 v2 processor socket and Intel B365 mid-range functional chipset. Guaranteed compatible with 8th and 9th generation Intel Core i9/i7/i5/i3/Pentium/Celeron processors (Coffee Lake, 14nm). Unlike the previous Intel B360 chipset, the B365 does not support USB 3.2 Gen2 and has a simplified implementation of the CNVi wireless adapter port. However, for a base price product, which is the ASRock B365M Pro4 motherboard, these features are not significant drawbacks. It has a well-thought-out and convenient layout, suitable for users who prefer to assemble computers on their own. Thanks to the PCI-E Gen 3.0 connector, it is able to work with high-performance discrete gaming and professional video adapters. It can become a reliable basis fo...r a universal home or office computer, a low-cost workstation or an inexpensive gaming configuration. Supports the installation of four DIMM modules with a total volume of up to 64 GB, which will be enough for the vast majority of professional and any household tasks. To create a high-speed storage subsystem, there are two M.2 ports for high-speed NVMe SSD drives and six SATA3 connectors. |

New chipset
At the beginning of 2019, a new B365 chip appeared in the line of Intel chipsets, designed to take a place exactly in the middle between the rather simple B360 and the more advanced H370. Moreover, it turned out not to be some kind of modification of an existing product, but something completely new. The main advantage of the novelty was the support for as many as 20 PCI-E lines of the third generation and the second Ultra M.2 connector for connecting a fast SSD.
Second M.2 slot
And this is a rather strange idea. While in AMD motherboards under $100 you can find a full hardware of all the necessary connectors, a reinforced power subsystem and overclocking support, Intel in this segment gets solid savings. And this concept still looks winning, because SSDs that use the third generation PCI-E x4 bus are corny more expensive than conventional SSDs. Therefore, economical buyers choose the latter. This begs the question: why does the economical user need a second M.2 slot?
Reliable and unpretentious in work
However, this is the problem of Intel itself, and not ASRock, which turned out to be an interesting and versatile entry-level motherboard. The B365M Pro4 supports any 8th and 9th generation Intel processors and comes with 4 RAM slots. On its rear panel, you can find three video outputs of different standards at once (including the old D-Sub), and next to it there is a brand new USB-C. A pair of PCI-E 16x slots allows you to install two video cards in Crossfire mode (although, why do this on low-cost motherboard?), and one of the M.2 connectors has cooling. There is even lighting synchronization with a set of basic effects. In general, ASRock B365M Pro4 is easy to set up, unpretentious in operation and did not cause any complaints during the tests.
