First AMD AM4 B350 chipset motherboard pictured

Two PCIe x16 slots, DDR4 support, M.2 slot and more

Following the recent leak of AMD's upcoming 7th generation Bristol Ridge APU, A12-9800 APU and its overclocking potential as well as HP's OEM AM4 A320 chipset motherboard leak, today we have a new leak of Gigabyte's AM4 B350 chipset motherboard showed in its full glory.

While the earlier leak showed the AM4 socket in all its glory, the OEM motherboard did not reveal a lot of details and it was based on an entry-level A320 chipset. The new leak, on the other hand, shows a lot of details regarding a mainstream B350 chipset and what to expect from most partner motherboards based on that chipset.

The pictured Gigabyte B350M-DS3H motherboard shows AM4 socket with 1331 pins placed next to four DDR4 DIMM slots. The motherboard draws power from a combination of 24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS power connectors.

Bear in mind that this is still a mainstream motherboard so I/O connectivity is rather standard, with six SATA 6Gbps ports, single M.2 PCIe Gen2 x4 slot, two PCI-Express x16 gen3 ports (probably working at x16/x4 or x8/x8), single PCIe x1 slot, couple of USB 3.0 ports and possible USB 3.1 ports, Realtek audio and usual DVI, HDMI and D-Sub outputs that should use Bristol Ridge APU iGPU.

The list of pictures also include a picture of the Gigabyte's UEFI BIOS, showing a low 1.2V DDR4 voltage.

Of course, we expect some B350 chipset motherboards with higher set of features but the real high-end will come at a later date, with earlier detailed AMD AM4 socket X370 chipset motherboards.
