Top 5 Motherboards for AMD Ryzen 3600

Budget level motherboard based on AMD B450 chipset. This model is the optimal basis for building an inexpensive gaming PC based on Ryzen 3600. It has everything you need, including 4 slots for RAM and a wide selection of expansion slots. ASRock B450M Pro4 supports 10 power phases, is equipped with support for the CrossFire X function, i.e. you can "plug" a couple of video cards, getting better performance in games. An important point - with similar overclocking capabilities and equipping with ports / slots, this board is more affordable than analogues for Intel processors. As for the negativity inevitable at such a price, first of all, we note the need to update the BIOS firmware, otherwise it will not be possible to reveal all the capabilities of the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor. In addition, the board has only a couple of connectors for connecting additional cooling fans.

On the whole, this is a relatively budget board considering the Standard-ATX form factor, which received a very rich set of slots and ports for expansion, which will allow you to assemble the best PC builds in terms of performance for any needs. The board is optimally combined with the functionality of the AMD Ryzen 3600 processor, has four slots for “high-speed” RAM and supports CrossFire X for combining video cards. As a result, we have an excellent balance between the price of the model, its functionality and availability in stores, which affects the popularity of the motherboard among those who prefer chips from AMD. On the other hand, there are only 6 power phases, which means that there are limitations on overclocking capabilities. Plus, in the reviews there are enough complaints about the layout, because of which not every case will be able to comfortably connect components via SATA connectors and internal USB.

The most budget motherboard in our ranking, but quite capable of unleashing the potential of the Ryzen 3600 processor at a sufficient level to compete with Intel counterparts. Made in the form factor micro ATX, i.е. very compact, because of which there is a lack in the number of ports and expansion slots, but thanks to this, the price is almost ridiculous by today's standards. We note support for no more than 32 GB of RAM, so the board is oriented towards assembling inexpensive office or home computers with minimal claims to high performance in games. On the other hand, there are reinforced passive VRM cooling elements, i.e. there is a reserve for overclocking the AMD Ryzen chip, but for the 3xxx series, you will have to update the BIOS firmware, because the board went on sale back in 2018 and is somewhat outdated.

The highest quality motherboard for gamers who want to get the most out of AMD's Ryzen 3600 processor. Yes, it will cost a lot, but it fully justifies its price tag. There is extended support for DDR4 memory, and ultra-reliable cooling, including heatsinks on M.2 slots, and high-quality SupremeFX sound, and 14 phases of power supply to easily “play” with overclocking, and CrossFire X support as a cherry on the cake. Moreover, there is a version with a built-in Wi-Fi module on sale, but in this case you will have to pay another 500 rubles on top. From the negative that pops up in the reviews, special attention should be paid only to the fragility of the clips on the slots for video cards, so the installation of cards on this motherboard should be done carefully. Well, the M.2 heatsink does not always fit snugly against the installed SSD (depending on the specific media model).

A well-balanced motherboard for AMD chips, including Ryzen 3600. The model is far from being a budget one, but it is also aimed at enthusiasts who are ready to “play” not only with overclocking the processor, but also with memory, which in theory on this board is capable of supporting a frequency of up to 5400 MHz. However, there is a nuance here, in case of incorrect selection of parameters, the BIOS is automatically reset to factory settings and everything has to be reconfigured again. Another somewhat negative point is that there is no support for CrossFire X, so it will not work to assemble a system with a pair of video cards. However, you can live with these shortcomings, because otherwise the model is probably the most optimal today in terms of the possibilities of realizing the potential of the Ryzen 3600 “stones”.
