Turned on and working
Biostar Racing B450GT3 is a mid-sized micro-ATX motherboard for the AMD AM4 platform with a fairly rich functionality and at the same time a moderate price. By the way, a big plus of the B450 chipset is the support for Ryzen 2000-series processors by default, without having to look for the first generation processor and flash the BIOS with it, like on many old motherboards based on the B350 chipset. By the way, there are two BIOS chips: a backup one is loaded in case, for example, of unsuccessful overclocking.
CPU and memory overclocking
The processor power connector is 8-pin, and the power subsystem is 4 + 2-phase: four mosfets for CPU cores and two more for the RAM controller and integrated graphics (if any). Mosfettes are only partially covered by a radiator, but exactly where they are most needed. There are four slots for DDR4 RAM with a total volume of up to 64 GB and a frequency of up to 3200+ MHz. The actual supported frequency of RAM depends on the success of a particular instance of the motherboard and processor.
One vidyuha is good, but two is better
The PCI-E x16 connector is reinforced with metal so that video cards with a heavy cooler and backplate do not accidentally break it out with their weight. The second long graphics card connector is designed for only four PCI-E lanes, which is enough to create a CrossFire bundle, but not SLI. A couple more short PCI-E x1 are designed to connect sound, network and video capture cards, but with a high probability a thick graphics card will block them.
Lights up in the same style
The disk subsystem can be represented by six SATA3 drives with speeds up to 600 Mbps and one Ultra M.2 up to 32 Gbps. There is no cooling M.2 casing, this is the prerogative of more expensive motherboards, such as the Biostar Racing X470GT8. But, by analogy with the flagship models, there are two 5050_V12 connectors for connecting and synchronizing LED devices, whether it be separate LED strips or, for example, an SSD with built-in RGB backlighting.
