A Micro-ATX AM5 board that pairs PCIe 5.0 graphics and storage with 2.5GbE and 10Gbps USB-C.
Quick Specs
- AMD B850 chipset, Socket AM5 (Ryzen 7000/8000/9000)
- 4 x DDR5 DIMM, up to 256GB, up to 8200 MT/s (O.C.)
- PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, 1 x M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 + 1 x M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4
- Realtek 2.5GbE, rear USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C
- HDMI 2.1 + 2 x DisplayPort 1.4, Micro-ATX (24.4 x 24.4 cm)
Who it suits
The B850M DS3H is a compact AM5 board for gaming and productivity builds with a Ryzen 5, 7 or 9. With a Ryzen 9000 or 7000 CPU, the graphics slot and first M.2 slot run at PCIe 5.0, and the second M.2 runs at PCIe 4.0 x4 from the CPU. Four DDR5 slots support up to 256GB. Networking is 2.5GbE, and the rear panel adds a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and a Gen 2 Type-A port for fast external drives, with an internal Gen 2 Type-C header for a front case port. HDMI 2.1 plus two DisplayPort outputs support three screens on integrated graphics.
DS3H or D3HP?
The two boards share the same layout of PCIe 5.0 slot, two M.2 slots and four DIMMs. The DS3H adds 2.5GbE instead of Gigabit LAN, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and Type-A on the rear instead of Gen 1, an internal Gen 2 Type-C header and a third ARGB header, so it is worth the small premium if you use a fast network or external SSDs. Neither has Wi-Fi, and there is no third M.2 slot, so heavy storage users may prefer an ATX B850 board. Ryzen 8000 APUs drop the main slot and first M.2 to PCIe 4.0.
