Storage wise, the main bulk is made of from four SATA ports. There is also support for DDR4 memory with XMP profiles built-in. This means that a total of 64 GB of system memory can be installed with both ECC and non-ECC Un-buffered memory types being supported.
Like all of GIGABYTE’s launch day range of B450 motherboards, the B450M DS3H has four memory slots capable of supporting DDR4-3200 memory.
Thanks to the two full-length slots, this means AMD CrossFire multi-graphics card configurations are supported, although it should be noted NVIDIA SLI is not supported across the B450 chipset this is due to a limitation of PCI bandwidth. Sitting in between the two full-length slots is a single PCIe 2.0 x1 slot. This entry-level offering has two full-length PCIe slots the top slot is PCIe 3.0 x16 while the bottom slot is PCIe 2.0 x4. The main bulk of the board's aesthetic prowess come from the PCB, which features a black base with a grey striped circuit-like pattern emanating from the corners of the board towards the socket. With a Realtek GbE LAN controller present also, the DS3H is admirable for users on a strict budget, but who also require a smaller microATX form factor. The general controller choice does put this board in the lower range of AM4 boards available, but the Realtek ALC887 audio codec still does a decent job of providing onboard audio. Without a lot of the bells and whistles of the B450 Aorus motherboards, what the B450M DS3H does focus on is providing value without sacrificing too much on the overall quality.
With the shift here from gaming to a more subtle theme, the styling choices opted here by GIGABYTE come across as less ‘in your face’ without RGB LEDs built into the heatsinks, but users looking to make use of rainbow-colored RGB can do so through a single RGB LED strip header. The last of GIGABYTE’s launch day motherboards comes via the B450M DS3H which hails from the Ultra Durable range.
