    In fact, it is functionally similar to the Tomahawk. I would not give two hundred for WiFi.

    So I understand that the Tomahawk will be the most profitable to 3600? That's why I wrote that I am not sure about this MSI CARBON, because with the money saved I will buy something that I will use to the full.
    What is flashback? Apparently, it can only be done with the power supply connected ...

    The B450 Tomahawk is one of the more reasonable 450s. The price does not add much to the budget, but you still get a reasonable quality CD, on which you can even make some OC. Of course, this is not the highest shelf, as it starts with twice as expensive albums, but it is quite decent - and it does not cost a fortune.

    Flashback is that you can update the BIOS with no CPU inserted. In the case of Tomahawk it looks like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/cakh3a/bios_flashback_tips_for_msi_mobo_owners/

    The power supply is of course very useful for this :)

    And did I read somewhere that the MAX version of the Tomahawk disc with 32MB of memory for bios is to be released soon?

    The test is interesting, but I wonder how they got temperatures of 40 degrees on the VRM ... I think when looking at the desktop, because the AB350 PRO4, despite the fact that there is no completely worst power section, certainly under full load, a rather heavy processor with a three-digit TDP does not has a better chance of maintaining a temperature of 40 degrees after a few minutes of such loading.

    These low temperatures only with processors with a TDP of 65W. Processors with higher TDP fired after time (temperature 80 degrees). However, they took the measurement on the table, not in the housing, which could have had an impact on the results. Despite the fact that there is / should be airy in the housing.

    They tested the temperatures with type K thermocouples, they write. However, the measuring station is not visible :(

    Added after 1 [minutes]:

    As you can see, however, the Series 3 Ryzen can do the B350.

    I will just add that I just threw 3600 on the B350 (MSI gaming pro). It flashes nice.
    Additionally, my goodram 2400 cl15 which ran at R5 1600 on 2400 cl17 1.4V. Now they have gone on 2933 cl16 1.4V.
    Also, if you have a B350 and there is a BIOS for the 3 series, you should do without a new motherboard.
    If you're worried about VRM, the TDP of this series is basically the same as the first, and mostly OC is pointless, because it's symbolic.

    OK. I ordered a 3600 processor and RAM. I have the motherboard left and in general I could order this Tomahowka too, but I realized that there is no digital audio output that I am using. I have an external sound card that I use all the time, but this is an old Asus XonarDG for old PCI. And now I'm not sure whether to stay with this board - at the time of writing this post it costs PLN 425 + inexpensive sound card, or choose something for over PLN 500 with optics and a generally better built-in sound card, such as Asus ROG Strix B450-F GAMING

    An optician board that has a similar power section to the Tomahawk is for example the MSI X470 GAMING PLUS.

Topic summary

The discussion centers around selecting the best motherboard for the Ryzen 5 3600/3600X, comparing B450 and X470 chipsets. Users express concerns about overclocking capabilities, BIOS updates, and compatibility with third-generation Ryzen processors. The MSI B450 Tomahawk is frequently recommended for its balance of price and performance, with users noting it can handle overclocking adequately. The importance of updating the BIOS before installation is emphasized, as many B450 boards may require it to support the new CPUs. Some users also mention the potential for future-proofing with X570 boards, although they are generally more expensive. Overall, the consensus leans towards the B450 Tomahawk for its value, while cautioning about the need for BIOS updates and the limitations of older boards.
