ASUS ROG Strix B350-F versus MSI B350 Tomahawk Arctic for Ryzen 5 2400G

zektro · Feb 11, 2018

So I know there are some differences between those both motherboards that I mentioned but which is more reliable and worthwhile-ish?! Also, does Corsair Vengeance LED DDR4 are compatible?!

Edited Post : I bought that Ryzen 5 2400G on Friday from a website called CEL.ro where it cost 799 Lei / $209 US and it should arrive tomorrow.

Both are pretty good. The Asus board has more power phases and multiplier changer for better overclocking... https://us.hardware.info/comparisontable/products/400375-386379

But what are those real differences between Realtek RTL8111H (MSI B350) and Intel AT-211i Network Chipset (ROG Strix B350-F)?! Does Realtek still have "time to time" connectivity issues?!

zektro :

Some people say that the Intel Gigabit Lan is slightly better than Realtek and snappier maybe, but i have never found any major difference between them and neither will you, atleast in normal usage. They are both modern tech and do checksum offloading on their own and don't require much cpu IRQ cycles.

That's good to know. In a while, I had a older motherboard based on the AM3 + socket which if I remember well was from Gigabyte, and as a network chipset it was from Realtek. It was a huge pain. And that was back in 2013.

You should go with the Asus board, as it will let you overclock better eventually when you need it.

As long as I can "pull" 4 and half Ghz OC using XFR or Precision Boost from that Ryzen 5 2400G and of course if it's possible and cooled by an Corsair Hydro H110i 280mm, I bet it should be enough.

Thats a good AIO, and given its 3.6 base, it should be achievable. Reviews and benchmarks will be out by next week i believe.

zektro · Feb 11, 2018

That's really indeed about new reviews and real benchmarks to see how can be good that Ryzen 5 2400G but that's can be Monday. Probably that RX Vega 11 can perform even better than Intel HD 530/630. As for Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G, I recentely saw a short review on a YouTube channel called Z@na IT. It seems quite promising about those both APU until GPU prices will get back to normal.

Maybe even Crossfire the APU with a Vega card. Dont quote on me though, as i am not totally sure.

zektro · Feb 11, 2018

At least that APU probably will be compatible with the FreeSync 2. About Crossfire between RX Vega 11 (Ryzen 5 2400G) with RX Vega 56 as exemple, I'm not sure too if that would work but who knows!!
