Golden mean
MSI B350M Pro-VDH is perhaps the optimal motherboard for Ryzen processors, as well as for Bristol Ridge chips with a reserve for a future upgrade to Ryzen. Unlike the younger A320 chipset, the average B350 supports overclocking of both RAM (up to 3200 MHz) and the processor (the frequency depends on the success of a particular instance).
Nice bonuses
The B350M Pro-VDH has four RAM slots and three video outputs. The letters "VDH" in the model name stand for VGA, DVI, and HDMI. The PCI-E x16 connector for the graphics card is reinforced with metal so that it does not break during the installation of a long heavy graphics card. And the mosfets of the processor power circuit are covered with a radiator for better heat dissipation. However the memory controller's mospheres remained "naked" in order to save money.
No overpayments
There is also a slot for the newfangled M.2 SSD, and the bandwidth of the B350 chipset is more than enough even for NVMe models like the Samsung 960 Pro. As a result, we recommend the MSI B350M Pro-VDH to all those who just need a functional motherboard, perhaps a little for growth, without overpaying for decorative embellishments like RGB LED lighting.
