Thanks Steve!
taichi is the best because it is ATX, has eclk overclocking and can support up to 4 nvme drives without halving your PCIE5x16 GPU slot. noob unboxed!
Asrock makes really good AM5 boards. I'm a happy owner of a X670e Steel Legend, zero issues and rock-solid performance, although the firmware feels really old school heh.
Seeing the price increase from b450 to b550, and now from that to b650 makes me think it will never stop increasing… Damn.
The age of decent cheaper boards is joever.
Memory support, expo, bios options and boot up times all are quite different between your top picks. I would not go with any of the Asus for that matter. Also sound chips differ quite a lot – if this is important to you than 1220 is a must
Really thanks , in my country asus tuf gaming wifi is priced at 200$ and i went for it
I don't know why we need to insert Gpu separately in PC why Ram cant do the same job. In Future one single card can do the same job as my predictions. Similarly why laptops cant have gpu slots why integrated gpu it is all about marketing strategies of companies to earn more profit nothing else thats why they making simple things complicated.
Cool
Iâll come back to this vid in a year or two when the new platform is cheaper and doesnât have growing pains
Great list of boards, sad to see the B650M pro rs wasnt reviewed, cause its fairly cheap and wanted to see how it stacked up
Bought the B650 Elite AX some month ago for 190bucks, great to see that its a solid board đ thx a lot for this video đ
Amazing work Steve! You've covered the entire B650 line up and this content will be useful for years to come. Thank you for your efforts mate. Really appreciate HUB's commitment to high quality comprehensive benchmarks, reviews, and testing.
Really great video, i did hope you'd cover the ASUS ROG Strix B650E-A Gaming Wifi, i have no idea what's the difference between A and E, and if A is decent for the price
2:15 It might just be a shot of a collection of motherboard boxes⊠but I noticed that there seemed to be almost identical boxes of Gigabyte Aorus Pro AX and Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX boxes⊠what was the difference these?
MSI are the only manufacturer offering 6 SATA ports! Big deal for me – as I get a lot of cheap deals on amazon for SSDs especially as if you want a board with a LOT of M.2s they are expensive in comparison. So when I upgrade from my MSI B550 A-Pro (6 Sata ports too) – will got eh MSI route when I upgrade next! GREAT video by the way!
i can't decide between B650A strix or B650E steel legend for white build
I have thankfully already bought b650e Riptide WiFi. But i haven't bought a cpu yet .
Man i needed this thanks
I'm in process of buying a new PC or upgrading my ancient one
:0
Uhh you missed a board đ
Massive work. Thanks a lot for testing!
I got the Strix B-650E-F paired with a 7900x and I got them in a bundle with 2 sticks of DDR5 CL6000 Mt/s Dimms, all for like $600 from MicroCenter 4-5 months ago, I have not had any issue's at all, OC'ing OV'ing have been really easy with the BIOS on this board. I have been recommending this board since I got it. For the price it is worth it. More then enough headers and USB. I edit,game and use UE5 Blender, and this has been a great combo. I came off a 5900x and the MSI EK Carbon x570S which was way way more money and I have no regrets.
which motherboard wont fry my 7800x3d chip though thats the real question? I've heard problems about them melting cpus and im scared asf
I got the Tomahawk yesterday I m happy with it putting 7800X3D in there, and the ram I bought was 136 euro! ( 32 gb Gskill neo 6000 cl 30 38 38 38 96 )
