Question 1

Will this work with 2 sticks of 4GB DDR4? (A-DATA AX4U2400W4G16-DRZ)

Accepted Answer

Yes, it should work fine.

Question 2

The specs say 3200 for the memory when the product image says lower. Which one is correct?

Accepted Answer

New BIOS has been released as of 4/20 that works great with XMP profile memory DDR 3200. Just go into bios settings, change memory from "Auto" to XMP 3200 and make sure that the voltage for your specific ram is setup and voila. DDR3200.

Question 3

does it come with the latest bios that supports ryzen 3000?

Accepted Answer

Hello there,

Thank you for contacting us with your question. 
We are glad to see that you are interested in purchasing this item from us. However, we cannot verify the Bios versions on the motherboards sold on our store. We can only confirm what is posted on the item's webpage. However, this motherboard would most likely require a Bios update to support the Ryzen 3000 series. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you, 
Newegg Support

Question 4

Does this board support overclocking?

Accepted Answer

All  Ryzen motherboards support overclocking to a degree. The success of your overclock rate depends on cooling, voltage and temperatures.  The B350 board only differs in spec from the b370 by having fewer ports and pcie lanes.  The bios includes the overdrive/overclock and XFR functionality of the ryzen CPUS.  The AMD software can control:

• Per-core clock adjustment
• CPU Voltage Adjustment
• The ability to disable cores (choice of 0, 2, 4 or 6 cores)
• MEM VDDIO Voltage Adjustment
• MEM VTT Voltage Adjustment
• VDDCR SOC (PCH) Voltage Adjustment
• CAS Latency Adjustment
• Row Precharge Delay (15 bus clock at standard)
• RAS Active Time (36 bus clock at standard)
• Read Row-Column Delay (15 bus clock at standard)
• White Row-Column Delay (15 bus clock at standard)
• The ability to save up to four custom profiles

Question 5

Does this board support overclocking?

Accepted Answer

Yed it does. The x370 is geared for highest over clocks but the ryzen 1700 holds 3.9 gz on the 350 chips er boards quite well.

Question 6

Does this board support Ryzen 3 CPUs out of the box? Or will it require flashing first?

Accepted Answer

Mine worked with Ryzen 3 out of the box.

Question 7

Will this board boot from M.2 2280 sdd?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I use a 120GB Samsung NVME drive on it. To ensure best performance, just make sure that you have the latest BIOS update.

Question 8

Can the AM4 motherboards be backwards compatible with some PC parts like CPUs or DDR3 RAM?
I want to know if I can use some older PC hardware from a previous PC before using a new Case and so on.

Will the AM4 motherboards be compatible with a 630 watt power supply that was for the FX-8350? So that I can use it with the AM4 motherboards and Ryzen 7 1800X CPUs and DDR4 memory.

What else should I know about AM4 motherboards?

Accepted Answer

ddr3 will not be usable as the pins are different.  DDR3 has 240-pins and DDR4 had 288-pins.nor will any other cpu besides the ryzen platform. am4 is the socket of the cpu and so therefore an am3, am3+, or fm2 cpu will not even fit in the port. even if it did fit it wouldn't run and you could potentially fry your hardware. the power supply will be fine because the power connectors haven't changed.
