AT £105, this isn’t the cheapest motherboard you can buy for an AM4 CPU, but it’s packing some nice features. The Mini-ITX form factor does carry a premium, but if you’re using a Ryzen 5 2400G, you don’t need a dGPU either, so the price does balance out in your favour quite a bit.
This is the first time we’ve reviewed an AM4 motherboard with the new Ryzen With Vega processor, the 2400G Ryzen 5. Obviously, it looks like it didn’t perform as strongly, but with every other review featuring a more powerful and expensive processor, that’s hardly surprising. However, at $169 at launch, the Ryzen 5 2400G is extremely competitive thanks to its powerful iGPU, making it a cost-effective solution when paired with an AM4 motherboard such as the AB350N.
We’ll have more motherboards coming into eTeknix HQ soon, and we’ll be able to see how the AB350N stacks up to the competition with this CPU. However, I’m pretty confident it’s going to be one of the strongest performers in its class. It comes equipped with a fantastic level of build quality and design that reflects in its performance.
With PCIe armour, a nicely designed PCB and robust connectivity, the AB350N is ticking all the right boxes. Those who are building a small form factor Ryzen with VEGA system can benefit from the dual display outputs. With HDMI and DP, you’ll have no issues hooking up your display of choice. Add to that the plentiful USB ports, M.2 storage, built-in Wi-Fi, GbE LAN and more, and you’re well on your way to a comprehensive system.
There are cheaper AM4 motherboards on the market. However, for mini-ITX, with this level of build quality, features, and design, the AB350N is worth paying a little bit more for. A good PC starts with a good foundation, and that’s definately what’s on offer here.
