Thoughts on GALAX B450m?
Each stage uses 1-2 high-side MOSFETs, 1-2 low-side MOSFETs and a choke. The exact count of MOSFETs isn't specified. Power distribution varies—some phases supply CPU cores while others power the SOC. The voltage controller model is needed to understand its limits for the ON-CHANGE configuration. MDU1151 handles low-side switching well, but high-side MOSFETs require fast switching. Datasheet details can be tricky to find on a phone.
The 3100 uses a certain amount of power. When you boost its speed it might draw around 70 to 80 watts. The main factors affecting this are the MOSFETs, which handle the current, and how well the BIOS works with the VRM controller. The quality of the 3100 chip itself also plays a role in how much overclocking is possible.
It should work fine with your Ryzen 3 3100 up to 4.0 GHz. I’ll definitely consider a new motherboard if I decide to upgrade my processor later. My budget was tight, so I couldn’t afford another one due to high prices in my country. This was the most affordable option I found.
