running the GB aorus ultra, and more headaches than i had with the MSI gaming plus.

funny, as i didnt like the msi board (bios features), until i sold it to a friend and upgraded to the aorus (3 nvme),
and instantly remembered why i try stay away from GB for boards/gpus.
and im not talking about it being broken/not performing, just that the msi worked good enough to install win right away,
when on the GB i had to use different ram just to get it to post, and it needed 4 bios updates before it
stopped showing post/boot issues( after a power-off), and random reboots (no shutdown) without high load.

the tuf would be my first choice on value boards (didnt like the prime looks),
but i would rather try to get an open box from amazon (if u have prime) or local microcenter,
if you dont mind swapping it in case you have issues (maybe initial test outside the case).

Corsair memory and Ryzen...
Only explanation I have for you. Not had any real issues with my Gigabyte board. Yes, there's been some of the regular platform glitches, but all that has been resolved by now.

@TheLostSwede
Glad your another person assuming stuff.
Who said that that was the ram i had trouble with?
How about the fact that it didnt run with B-die gskills thats on their list?
Or the fact that the same cpu on the msi runs it just fine, so i can exclude the ram itself, so it is coming from the board.

as I'll eventually move to a 3900X or maybe even the 3950X down the road.

Go x570, and wait to buy with your processor...prices will likely be less.

im fine with msi b350, best am4 board for me so far

How is this helpful to the OP who plans on getting a 3950x while you have an apu on that board? Night, meet day. Lol

I am absolutely convinced your current board would run a 3950X perfectly fine.

Oh, it will run... but I wouldnt expect it to get the most out of pbo, or like overclocking etc...4+3 phase with lower amperage bits. It may even throttle on heavy all c/t loads.
