MSI Intros the B350M/A320M Pro-VD Motherboards

[btarunr]

MSI introduced the B350M Pro-VD and A320M Pro-VD socket AM4 motherboards. Built in the slim micro-ATX form-factor, the two boards are nearly identical, and differ only with the chipset (AMD B350 and A320). The boards draw power from a combination of 24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS power connectors; conditioning it for the AM4 SoC with a 6-phase VRM. The APU socket is wired to two DDR4 DIMM slots, supporting up to 32 GB of dual-channel DDR4 memory; a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot, and both of the boards' PCIe x1 slots. Two of the four SATA 6 Gbps ports on the boards come from the AM4 SoC. Display outputs include DVI and D-Sub. Gigabit Ethernet and 6-channel HD audio make for the rest of them. The only feature the B350M Pro-VD offers over its A320-based twin is support for CPU overclocking. The two could feature sub-$80 price-points.

Why not?

Anyway, sub-$80 B350 sounds nice.

I hope you know what VD stands for. Thats why Pro-VD sounds really odd.

Right, not being a GAMING COMANCHE takes all the wow factor nowadays

That brown PCB reminds of earlier ASRock AMD mobos

Is Pro-VD any better than regular VD?

Yeah, but below Premium-VD
