Questions about Gigabyte B450M DS3H

Why don't you buy this, so you can get exact values of your system in every situation at any load: Steffen Digital Brilliant Just by adding the Watts of the components you will get nowhere near a realistic value..

The Ryzen 7 3800X is basically compatible with the Gigabyte B450M DS3H motherboard, but only if the BIOS has been updated to a compatible version. The B450 chipset motherboards support Ryzen 3000 processors, but not all models do so straight out of the box. It is necessary to update the BIOS to a version that supports the Ryzen 7 3800X. To use the Ryzen 7 3800X, the BIOS must be updated to a version such as F60 or higher.

Depends on what CPU you intend to use, but basically, yes.

Yes, you can. Just not forget make update pilote for card graphique

Yes it's all compatible (CPU, RAM and PSU)

In 697 possibilities. In all that support the mATX form factor https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/producttype/pc-gehaeuse-77?pdo=538-182%3A261&tagIds=76-524

Theoretically there is no incompatibility

Anything that actually works. Based on the price, a RAM kit with 2x 16 GBite sticks at 3'200 MHz could fit. You can also use either a SATA SSD or an M.2 SSD (with SATA protocol or NVME protocol). You can also use any graphics card you like. They are all equipped with the PCI-E x16 standard.

yes, that's what it says on the homepage: https://www.gigabyte.com/ch/Motherboard/B450M-DS3H-rev-10/sp#sp

1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 SATA and PCIe x4/x2* SSD support) * Actual support may vary by CPU. * Supports only M.2 SATA SSDs when using an AMD Athlon™-series/ 7th Gen. A-series or Athlon™ X4 APU. Siehe auch die Kompatiblitätsliste: https://www.gigabyte.com/de/Motherboard/B450M-DS3H-rev-10/support#support-doc

I don't have dual slot gpu, but I already have a long format gpu which cover the sata port which stays there lonely a bit. There I used a sata cable with 90 degree male connector and fits nicely below the card. You can insert one more connector which sits below the second card, but I believe you still will have one sata connector, in the middle of those three, where it would not fit easily a 90 degree connector, being too close to the other one. But I am wrong, and just nicely you can lay down the cable on top of the other. Surely the space between the gpu and the connector would allow that, but the connector once is 90 degree, it may reach the next connector. Probably one sata port may remain blocked, depends on the video card's width. I have never seen sata cabled which are 90 degree but flat, going to right side as you see the image. If you have a cable like that, you solved everything.

...sure you can!

Can't find any information on this at Gigabyte, so I would say no. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450M-DS3H-rev-10

Yes

No.

Yes, that is the intention as far as it goes. However, a BIOS update will most likely be needed to make the new processors compatible.

There are only two connections onboard. As you mentioned, you would have to connect additional fans directly via the power supply (corresponding adapters are often included with the case) or use a Y-cable, which you can find in the category Case Modding. Some fans, e.g. Nocuta, come with such Y-cables (check specifications).

This board has 1 slot for an m.2 SSD. No processor is installed. All CPUs with AM4 socket can be installed on the motherboard.

Yes, it supports because they have the same chipset and I also bought a 1st generation processor but I still haven't received the motherboard.
