AMD B450 launch date?
- Thread starter AMD_Gamer
- Start date
What about seeing reviews? I am thinking about getting a 2600X but want to make sure the VRM's and everything is good for the Ryzen 2 CPU's.
How many people have complained about failed VRMS, on B350 X370? I honestly haven't seen many, not saying it doesn't happen, but these VRM concerns are somewhat overblown. I can give you a sure way to extend life of any VRM, stick a 80mm fan to it, it doesn't matter if there is a heatsink. Buy a $70 board and don't worry about it, that's what I do.

no reviews that ive seen. even the b350 supports the new chips so any b450 should be fine. vrms will affect the OC ability, so if no oc no worry.
I have been reading that the VRM's get taxed when the CPU boosts with XFR?

well yeah but not out of spec. and I think every board ive seen have vrm heatsinks so shouldn't be an issue.

The VRMS do seem to suck on the B450 but you do have more features. My B350 Tomahawk and 2700x worked, but it flopped around more than my X470 board, which I may or may not keep.
