- With Zen 2 sporting some serious improvements in IPC and efficiency I thought to myself, why couldn't one transition these benefits to existing products? One product in particular is the A320 motherboards, which have had their memory overclock limit restrictions unlocked, however with the Ryzen 5 3600 being so efficient, would an A320 motherboard be able to handle this chip with the included Wraith stealth cooler? Well today we are going to find out.

Thank you for running these tests. I am in process of purchasing a Ryzen 7 desktop and was curious about all the motherboard options, so you've helped answer a big question as to A320 motherboards ability run 3rd generation Ryzen processors.

Shhh everyone will want one.
Try with a 2600 - they’ve gone down to £120 on Amazon here
Not true, it costs more than 2600 by 80%!! for like 10-15 fps more, if you care about budget for gaming then get 2600 and better gpu.

What would be the best budget option I could do for him? Would the worldwide 350$usd xeon build work for a stream PC as well or is there a cheaper or better option? Sorry for the long question but its not like a lot of videos have been done on dedicated stream machines
Still watching til today. 😁 Thanks for this
Great video per usual Kevin !!!
Killer video idea. Astonishing results. I dunno whether to trash x570 or cheer the a320!
Why not both
same difference, you do one, you do both, implicitly. :D
Trash it and then tell us your location.
Cheer the A320 for handling the CPU nicely, but don't trash the X570. The overclocking features will blow the A320 out of the water
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. I wonder if the A320 can handle the 3600x just as well.
Nice vid, totaly on point, no bias no BS. I wish most youtubers would be like this, not trying to convince ppl buying more expensive stuff when they don't need it.

Honestly its not that bad of a choice now since Ryzen 3000 doesn't have much OC headroom anyway.
Or any really it doesn't really gain perf with it so you can save a lot on motherboards imo unless you need some extra stuff.
@@illuminatieyes2351 and save money on heatsink coolers
Bruh OC still needed if you need to get the maximum frequency at all cores, at all time.
@@NaoVII In gaming doing that can actually hurt performance. If I leave my 3600 at stock it boosts to 4200 in games on all cores, but manual overclocking only gets me 4150. You're better off enabling PBO and Auto OC, and then I see cores hitting 4550 occasionally.
@@NaoVII Yeah but it doesn't really make it perform any better and as you saw he was already hitting 90C which is really hot so no headroom to OC.

So, B450 would be preferable for “future proofing of cpu BIOS support”.
There. Lead by example!
AMD also already explained about the voltages, if you want a real measurement use the latest CPU-Z, it will give around 0.8V at idle and runs cooler, they said that all the measurement tools makes the CPU to think that has some load and it is boosting a little

Thanks... Perfect video that I was looking for (y)
Interesting comparison Brian and some rather surprising results :)
I am curious however, what about other 300 and 400 series boards in comparison? Could it be that the x570 BIOS just isn't mature yet and resulted in these strange results? I am mostly talking about the implementation of PCIe Gen 4 here, it may be causing overheads due to weak/incomplete optimization. It may well be that any non 500 series board performs better at this time due to the X570 BIOSes not being fully mature yet. Needless to say, it's somewhat of a rabbit hole for a reviewer to plunge into. Generations, brands, AGESA versions, there is just so much that can be compared and it all takes time and effort to do. That said, I would like to see a comparison between the a320, X370, X470 and X570. Cheapest gen1 vs most expensive of each generation.
Would be sweet to see how well it does also with 2400MHz ram on that board. I suspect that the ram that you used costs an arm and a leg.
I'm impressed that the 3600MHz kit works absolutely 100% on such a cheap motherboard.
The Ryzen is basically a system on a chip and the motherboard doesn't add alot of logic to the CPU's performance.
That's one reason I am really not pleased with reviewers who denigrate this motherboard. Sure, it may be inexpensive but price is not an indicator of quality in this case.
Very informative and smart videos.. thank you. :)
Thanks I subscribed for this video
I died a little when you pulled the chip out of the package and manhandled the pins like that
Man. PBO seems like a wicked feature for the A series mobos.
Really nice video!!!Thx upload.
I'm very glad that you mentioned updating the BIOS, several other reviewers neglect talking about this.
I was really worried at first coz I bought exactly like this A320M. In the end I felt lucky. All I thought it'll be a failure all the way

The PBO thing boosting higher on the small board, like mentioned by level1techs, is likely due to it having a different BIOS. From one BIOS to the next even on the same board there are significant changes. Newer BIOS's seem to actually be worse at PBO. Maybe AMD realized it was causing instability, so they nerfed it?
I'm running my ryzen 3600 on an Asus Prime B350-Plus. It runs great. :)
Late to the party, but I'd like to add that i.e. the Gigabyte A320M-S2H comes with a B350 chipset on certain revisions... I've seen that board for under €50. Absolutely insane value there. Been running one for 6 months, Vrm temps top out under 70c with r5 2600 stock/boost. It might be all you need in a mobo. I had a more expensive UD5-H in my last build, which I loved, but it pays to not fall for the marketing.
This build is good for saving electricity,,,
Thanks for this Video!
You did a really good job. My current PC is ryzen 2200G with MSI A320 motherboard. I was really want to find out whether I need to buy a new X570 motherboard for new Ryzen zen2 cpu's. I found my answer in your video. Thanks a lot.
yes, just update to the latest bios 😉
I tried the same combination. It works great, but you've to buy good quality AMD approved memory. Using kingston value ram it did not work. Kingston fury hyperx worked.
Can you try the 3700x as well?
Who knows? It's a 65W TDP cpu after all.
You're the best men! You actually answer all my questions, release my doubts about a320 because some says its bad, but when I watch this my mind is relieved. I want to build cheap but great pc for my studies (programming) and some stuff like editing and streaming games. Maybe I will buy like ryzen 2600 or 3100 for a320 mobo. Thanks for this men. Even it's a year ago I think it helps me well. Cheeeeerrss!
Please if you noticed this or someone out there. Give me some advice thanks.
good work man :)
The difference is probably down to the BIOS, as soon as you overclock on a X570 you'll obviously blow the A320 out of the water but stock clocks are what the A320 is designed for 👍
"It's a good deal at the moment"... until the guy uploads these types of videos to the internet and prices rise XDDDD
Very interesting!
Is there really any important advantage left to purchase a B350 or B450 motherboard if one is just planning on running a R5 3600 at stock? (Besides upgrade-ability to higher core/TDP CPUs?) What's the price difference on the used market?
just bought the A320 motherboard, super happy!
Hey, how about trying out the 3700x with it's 65tdp on that A320. I'm curious how it would do considering that the 3600 did that well.
9:50
Actually, some of the point with having more phases is that you can have lower switching frequency then while keeping the same input and output ripple while a board with fewer phases require a higher switching frequency in order to achieve the same ripple.
If it both have a low switching frequency *and* a low phase count then that means a high input and output ripple, and that in turn actually means more wear and tear on other components in the system.
It's kind of like having a super budget crap PSU from back in the days when a budget PSU could blow up in your face...
That said 4 phases isn't *horrible* as low phase count motherboards goes.
Some motherboards had three phases when Ryzen first launched if I don't remember wrong... -_-
Anyway, look up Buildzoids channel for more information about what phases actually does and what phases actually *is* and *exactly* how important they are.
Not quite correct.
Since the pulse width is the same the switching frequency is the same. The difference is if you have 8 phases each phase works 1/8 of the time. If you have only 4 then each phase works 1/4 of the time. The advantage of having more phases is that they heat up less since, well, they work less. Not sure about the disadvantage. The performance difference was probably caused by other factors.
OMG! Good review!
nice review!
ordered yesterday for my new rig, no regrets, esp after watching this.
and the asus one looks cool too with the red design.
I use A320s' all the time for PC builds, great value for money, I usually buy mine from Aliexpress. A Maxsun motherboard to be exact.
@Brian The higher temps at idle are due to the coolers needing a re-designed. The traditional cooler config is to take the heat from the center of the CPU's heatspreader the fastest. Any of the chiplet designed CPU's and SOC's have the most heat produced around the outside by the Core chiplets.....they are very dense, and can retain more heat in the silicon after working them a bit.
Just be greatfull the Zen 2 silicon is actually rather efficient.
I can't wait to mod a waterblock to push a R9 3950X....😁
Awesome video I am impressed. I am building a system using the ryzen 5 3600 and this mobo. I would like to ask couple questions. Will I be able to update the bios with the 3600 in it as I don't have any other ryzen chip? Also would Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 be good or should I go with 3600 and which type/kind budget wise. Thanks again for the video as I was doubting getting this budget mobo for my budget system I am building.
Changing the energy settings of Windows to balanced and changing it back to Ryzen balanced (or keep on balanced) helped me out with idle temps alot. Seems the voltage and core clocks bug out sometimes
Just starting to watch this video. Running a 3600 with an a320 board which came out to be $5 after combo discount from Microcenter in SoCal. The extended warranty/replacement plan for the board came out to be about 70 cents lol.
holy shit thats awesome dude
Tustin microcenter represent
that's what im talkin'bout
Tech YES City we miss you in Los Angeles :(
So if your doing this as a first time build and don't have a older cpu around you can't update the BIOS correct?
Tip about the hot at idle: maybe the Cool n'Quiet is disabled. Check if can enable it at BIOS. If don't have this option, try to disable PBO . Other option is to Change the Energy mode to Economy or Balanced.
I got used to those temperatures already with my R5 2600X, which also wants to idle hot and with high clocks. Like it even spikes above 50C. I was kind of worried at beginning, but cooling is fine, it won't overheat on stress test and it tends to pike up and then cool down, which is normal as far as I know. It is just those cores waking up to do little things and keeping frequencies up for snappiness. Plus on 3rd gen, I believe there was some talk about those monitoring applications keeping cores awake and preventing idle, by poking at them. And if they are idle, they keep reporting last state instead of idle. And from what I heard, there are also other applications with bit aggressive refresh interval keeping it awake.So yeah, if Ryzen is bit hotter on idle, that is nothing to worry about, even though it feels weird coming from Intel where it tends to clock down and run really cool. And I stopped losing sleep over it once I figured out that it is not bad cooling mount or bad paste application.
l guess that's it. For a budget build that's nothing wrong using A320.
Shorter traces? Maybe. My first thought was that the BIOS for that Gigabyte X570 is not mature yet. We will see.
But for a 3600 the hardware on the X570 is actually worse. The VRMs on X570 are really over-engineered and inefficient (until you hit 200-400A and these CPU's can't reach that). It's the same thing as running a 1200W PSU to use for a 300W system. There are efficiency curves and the 3000 series (even the 8 or 12 cores) barely starts getting into the start of the efficiency curve. The X570 chipset also uses 7-8W more power at idle. There's only so much software tweaking one can do.. you can't change the raw hardware. For the 12 or 16 core the X570's will be better, but even then.. I'd argue the X470 will be best.
I think it's much more on the VRM switching issue.
@@adhahanif9792 unlikely. The pulse width is the same hence the switching frequency is the same. The only difference is that each of the 4 phases on A320 do more work than the 8 phases on the X570. JonW's reason with the efficiency curve is actually the most plausible.
My sky tech blaze 2 pre built pc from amazon has this motherboard. So far has worked great for me. About to install some more ram tomorrow.
A while back i was reading a chart showing power consumption of a manufacturers current crop ofmootherboards (mAtx thru ATX forms). The mATX/mITX boards were always the lowest consuming wattage than the ATX boards. So it's no surprise to me that the a320 used less watts than the larger board quote in the comparison.
Is nobody taking about at 1:07 he was holding it by the pins lol
I came back to the comment section after seeing that, I was pretty sure someone also would be devastated just like me
Intels pins where prone of breaking, not amd-s.
Thats the season why intel dosent have them any more.
But its nicer to handle cpu better, he maybe dosent like AMD.
This is the dude that used to clean motherboards in the sink and brush them with a dish washing brush. He knows how far he can go.

Hi Bryan; love your channel and content surrounding budget hardware! I just learned today that Gigabyte released a beta bios allowing Ryzen 5000 support for A320 boards.

Wow very good combo , can you do same test with B450 MSI tomahawk ? Thanks
Carlos Gonzalez It’ll work perfectly on that motherboard. It has very good VRMs and power delivery, and will handle a 3600 with ease. You’ve got nothing to worry about.
@@cadd-e6766 It's actually THE motherboard that nothing works currently :) Even MSI is saying return it and wait for the MAX version, if you can't boot it. (and part of the problem is that everyone recommended so everyone went and bought it, so it's now the most owned combo with Ryzen 3000 new users.) If you got it Carlos don't upgrade BIOS, all the new versions are broken.
@@onboard3 Damn right. MSI just called it "old B450".
Two things to note. Im not sure what you mean with "switching less" on the vrms. The switching frequency is given through the voltage controller and the only way to impact that after that are doublers which basically halfs the frequency to my knowledge. The amount of phases shouldnt have any impact on that. Not 100% sure Im a little rusty on that stuff.
The other thing I would like to mention is that 75 degrees on the mosfets externally is quite high considering you got that cpu cooler fan blowing from the top. I would recommend using a regular Tower cooler like the Hyper 212evo for example. Tower coolers are a very common setup and while they can give airflow over potential vrm heatsinks they cant cool the vrm components directly. Since you tested the best case scenario for the vrm we dont really know if it will hold up, especially under prolonged boost which is more likely with a decent tower cooler. Any form on watercooling got the same problem though an unlikely setup for this system.
Great video! Especially given stockouts on many motherboards at the moment. It appeared you were using an RTX 2080 Ti in the video. If for my first build, I wanted reasonable e-sports gaming, but with an upgrade path to AAA gaming and streaming / VR, what would you recommend as the minimum starting reference GPU to add to the A320 / Ryzen 5 3600 CPU combo? Thank you for any insight.
