Gigabyte AB350N Motherboard Review – Ryzen 2400G

Introduction

AB350N With Ryzen 5 2400G

We’ve had a bunch of motherboard reviews featuring the AM4 socket. However, we typically test our Ryzen motherboards with the flagship Ryzen 7 1800X, for so many obvious reasons. However, how do the CPU and the motherboard perform with the more performance orientated Ryzen 5 2400G With Vega?

For the purpose of this review, I’ll be testing the motherboard and CPU in the standard fashion. This means our 1080 Ti will be in place, thus showing how everything performs in relation to how every other motherboard was tested by us. Of course, I’ll also include the CPUs built in GPU performance and links to other features with this hardware as appropriate.

Equipped with the B350 chipset, the AB350N-Gaming WiFi promises to deliver amazing performance. All Ryzen CPUs are unlocked, but you need X370 or B350 chipsets to take advantage of that. This includes the 2400G we’ve tested today, where both the CPU and GPU cores can be overclocked. Please note that the GPU cores are disabled for the dGPU testing.
