It's essentially the same as the B360M-C, but the audio performance varies. Graphics cards can enhance sound quality, though ALC1150 is a common choice for audio if it meets expectations. Previous high-end cards aren't separate; their placement matters—PCIe x1 slots are too close, a 2-slot card might not fit, and a PCIe x4 slot could interfere with front panel headers. Cost also plays a role; if audio isn't critical, it might not be worth the investment.
I'm not sure if the sound works on this board, since I didn't attach anything while benchmarking. But I'll just try it out. Maybe the isolation improved or something else happened. I'm new to audio stuff, so I'm curious about the ASUS AM4 board. Would it be better to choose the Ryzen 3600 because it offers more power? And if I sell the Ryzen 1200, i5 8400 and ASUS B360M, I could earn a good amount of money?
Yes for gaming, office tasks likely require only a basic 1200 setup
Thanks to both of you for your support! I'll look into the sound.
The noise from the ASUS Am4 Board seems acceptable. Perhaps I'm just picturing it... But I feel confident using this one. I recently purchased a used Ryzen 5 3600 for 120 EUR on eBay! That would have been similar. So... I’ll take out the i5 8400 again and sell it. Thanks again for your assistance!
