Synthetic Benchmarks
3DMark Firestrike
There’s no shame in saying this is a cheaper motherboard, and it lacks the high-end hardware needed to punch through to the top of our charts. Of course, it’s built and priced to reflect that for those who need a more affordable, yet competitive, mini-ITX system. It scored respectably though, hitting 19891 in 3DMark.

Unigine Superposition 1080p Extreme
Another good score for Unigine, which is very GPU bound, and it scored 5515, putting it on par with pretty much everything else when it comes to GPU throughput.

PCMark 10 Express
This is where it really shines though, starting at 4888, and boosting right up to 5135 once overclocked in PCMark 10.

WPrime 32M and 1024M
Our Ryzen CPU is no slouch with WPrime, so it’s no surprise to see a fantastic time of 104 seconds at stock, and 88.81 once overclocked. Clearly this mini-ITX can bring the performance when it’s really needed.

Cinebench R15
The same is true once again in Cinebench, hitting an imrpessive 1069 while overclocked. This isn’t a rendering rig ready motherboard, but it’ll certainly get the job done for some occasional heavy lifting.

Handbrake MP4 to MKV Conversion 4K
Hittin gover 60 FPS is no easy task for Handbrake 4K, but 60.9 FPS just about does that, making it very competitive for its respective price and features.

I have owned mine almost since its release.
Before the next statement, let me be clear, I had to redo the thermal for the Chipset/VRM (#neverStock)
I don’t see this bad of performance difference (mind you, 1600x with RX 580, same RAM speed) when vs the same (or near same) config with other non mini-ITX B350 boards.
