Is that with XFR or manual OC? Sometimes people assume bad lottery when it can be settings, BIOS or in some cases a not so stable PSU.
I'm debating the 400 series stuff too. I'm curious if it is enough to warrant NOT buying some of these "premium" B350 motherboards right now. I mean you can pickup what in the Intel world would be considered a near $200 board for $130-140 and some on sale at $100. Hard to ignore really, since if you wait you could always end up just paying the "Brand New" tax for something not much better. It's exactly how I felt with my 7850... The R9 2xx came out and a few of them were overpriced rebrands on my same damn card. Got lucky on that one.
What really could there be on the B450 vs B350? More PCIe lanes is about all I can imagine but I don't really care about that in a single card system that isn't attaching a bunch of I/O devices. If I were going that route, Threadripper would be in my Crosshairs.
