AMD Ryzen 5 1600 and Ryzen 5 1400 CPU Review

Test Setup

AMD provided us with the B350 motherboard and memory used in this review, and to be honest, the B350 motherboard overclocks and performs just as well as the X370 motherboards I have reviewed. It offers slightly fewer features than the X370 chipset motherboards, such as PCI-E lanes and SLI capabilities, but overall, it's an excellent alternative to X370 if you want to try and save on costs.
