AMD have launched their be 450 series finally and right here on the desk we've got the gaming ITX from as rob this is their fatality series it's got two DIMM slots supporting up to 32 gigabytes of ddr4 memory 6 + 2 phase power design also got USB type-c on the back however today here we're gonna take it through all the paces and see if it can handle an 8 core 16 threaded 2,700 X and if it can up until what overclocked so we're gonna have thermal imaging camera also gonna test out that onboard audio for you guys see if all the ports are working and the nvm is well let's get on with the show so now we just finished running the B 450 gaming ITX through the gauntlet of tests here and at 4 gigahertz the 2700 X was running absolutely fine VRMs was staying under 90 degrees this was in a 23 degree ambient controlled environment and then we managed to go into the boss and overclock this to 4.2 gigahertz which is pretty much the max safe OC form a 2700 X without pumping a whole lot of extra voltage and wattage through the CPU itself now we are using the h1 10 I cool off from Corsair does a great job of cooling and at these levels the VRMs were going above 110 degrees Celsius so you could imagine that in a mini ITX case which is probably what you're gonna do with this motherboard you will probably not want to run it at 4.2 gigahertz unless you've got an active vrm cooling solution on this motherboard so we went from 220 watts from the wall power draw to 284 just 200 extra mega Hertz and the V tip itself is about 40 to 50 millivolts when under stress so moving into the UEFI boss this is where things are really easy and simple to use if it's your first time overclocking it'll be absolute breeze in this bias you can change your CPU speed and below that your voltages and then down below that you can set in things like XMP profiles change memory timings they've also included RGB control from the boss itself if you don't wish to install polychrome RGB software your full control over different styles individual green red blue channels as well as fantastic tuning software where you control the three PWM headers to set different profiles which you can then save in the device itself quickly moving through some other things we got USB 2 speeds absolutely fine across all ports as well as the nvme port on the back being a gen 3 x4 solution showing that with the 970 Evo doing a test in a SSD show that those speeds are reaching their maximum potential - which is good news and then moving on into the audio where I do do some rigorous testing here both on the audio out and the mic in my comport seems to have very strong noise reduction maxing this out of 100 volume n + 30 DB revealed no noise at all so it's good if you're a gamer and you don't really care too much about the audio quality but if you're doing professional recordings you may wish to look at something else moving on to the levels themselves very interesting here 99 volume and below there is no crosstalk leak crosstalk remains at around minus 80 decibels which are really good numbers though bumping it up to a hundred volume did leak in on the right channel just a little bit of crosstalk so that problem still does linger there so in other words if you're using headphones on this really good audio then just keep it at 99 volume or below moving on into the levels themselves running a sweep test the frequency response is phenomenal on this board it just keeps getting better and better we're looking at seven Hertz and under only a one decibel drop off which is phenomenal for onboard audio so good job on that as rock and then the last thing with the audio was there was a little bit of an imbalance between the right and left channel right channel was about one and a half decibels stronger which is a little bit off maybe it's just this sample here but if you do get this motherboard and you do notice that is it a little bit off the right channel stronger than your left then perhaps you can balance that out in Windows audio or some other audio device manager itself and here we are with conclusion of the B 450 gaming ITX from asrock and as we saw those numbers if you are getting an eight-course 16 threaded 2700 X this thing will handle it absolutely fine at 4 gigahertz if you're going for an enthusiast overclock around 4.2 then you may wish to get some active vrm cooling especially if you're dropping it in a mini ITX case where airflow might not be the best even if 4 gigahertz make sure that you do get some good airflow here because we tested it open air 23 degrees C ambient here so I imagine it would get hotter in a Mini ITX case but what we saw with those audio numbers is well very impressive they're really just getting it right in terms of features fun and they've moderately-priced this board too and I'll put some links in the description below for you guys so be sure to check them out if you are interested in this little board of course it'll handle the 2400 0 20 200 G absolutely fine you go to display and HDMI ports out of the back too and if you enjoy this one and be sure to hit that like button and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye board here we just okay can I just stick a screwdriver in that shouldn't get too hot there we go all right thanks for watching the review and if you've made it this far as rocked a teaming I would take it you need to give away two of these be 450 gaming artex motherboards all you have to do to enter is click on the link in the description below completely free to enter no-strings-attached international giveaway good luck I hope you guys win and I've already said peace out now buy but I'll say it again needs out for now but
