Well, in my opinion they wouldn't make 4 revisions of the board of there was nothing wrong with the original.

I doubt anyone from ASRock will publicly acknowledge any issues or differences.]]> Sun, 17 Mar 2019 17:18:34 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11108&PID=61492&title=differences-between-b450mhdv-and-r4-0#61492 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11108&PID=61443&title=differences-between-b450mhdv-and-r4-0#61443 Author: Niccador

Like the topic implies, I'm wondering if anyone can enlighten me on the (technical) differences between the original B450M-HDV board, and the newer R4.0 version?

I notice from the images that there appears to be a different number of VRMs/Chokes on the R4, along with a different layout of those. (No VRM heatsink either...and the chipset heatsink appears to be different/smaller.)

But do these changes imply an improvement in build quality, or a decline?]]> Fri, 15 Mar 2019 12:26:29 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11108&PID=61443&title=differences-between-b450mhdv-and-r4-0#61443
