No, the best board is the one that has the least amount of issues with getting ECC ram functional. This board will boot with ECC udimms but doesn't seem to actually support that functionality.
Great point on the 5GB Ethernet port. Sure 5 is more than 2.5, but. You need a switch and or other device (NAS) to make use of it. There wasn’t easy to find specs on the Realtek 5 GB controller but it likely defaults to 2.5, but maybe 1GB.

This is a weird generation where I'm actually more excited for what you can do with the x870 mobos than the processors driving them. Finally a bridge between consumer mobos and something like Threadripper where you can actually flex all the NVME slots without bifurcation or downgrading the GPU, and the ability to have a second GPU for doing simulations or rendering. I just wish we had mobos like I had back in 2014 with quad channel 8 DIMM slots and a 5820k that was just as good as a workstation rig as it was for gaming (relevant to the era). I'm still looking at either upgrading everything to AM5 or sitting on a TR 3970x for a good long time. Buying TRs pre-owned is about my only option, but I absolutely dislike the idea of inheriting the sins of the PO via ebay or the like.
If you're open to questions: I recently bought this board. I still have to pick it up. I'm super confused by the nvme slots. Can I populate two of the gen5 m.2 slots and still get x16 for my gpu? I read the manual and I'm still unclear. Sorry, probably an easy answer. I know I can't do all three
HI. Frame Chasers. I wanted to ask, with that SlimSas Cable connection, that you brought to my attention, could it also be suitable for a 10GB PCIE network card? Without eating lines at the first PCIE slot for the GPU. Thanks for any confirmation.
Thanks for the info... I couldn't decide between all the new x870e offerings... in general seems that user reviews in amazon for x670 and x870 mobos from all brands are waaaaaay lower than x570... so it was very difficult. So I chose the x670e hero because for me it's almost the same as the x870e but it's $200 cheaper here in Mexico...
X670E Aurous Master can do 8000 MT/S i think that and the extreme are the only 4 slotters than can acheive that. The x670e hero wasn't worth it considering the master was better.
So stripping features (surround VCA) and increasing prices, this is a trend for Asus. And you might not want to add thermal pads to the back of the DIMM slots, a heat-sink is only effective with airflow, that entire back-plate could heat up with time and rather than pull heat away from the DIMM slots now the DIMM slots become the heat-sink for the back-plate. That back-plate is suffocated with zero airflow.
Very nice. I'm surprised that the Hero series of boards has something you think it would be on the ProArt for content creators. Maybe a version 2 of the ProArt X870-E with the SaS port. Make an all out best of the best for content creating on one board. I feel the ProArt is very close but this shows there's a few improvements could be made yet.
Thinking of upgrading my 9900KS recently and going to AMD with the X870E Hero with the 9800X3D when it launches. I've got a 3090 with a 10GB nic card currently on my Hero XI board currently that I was going to move over to the new build. Am I going to lose performance by doing so, I thought going from x16 down to x8 wasn't really noticeable? Appreciate any input! Thanks
Ok... So im debating on getting the new 9950x or wait for the 9800x3d... I have already bought the new x870e hero motherboard from Asus for overclocking reasons.... My question is this, with the new motherboard and the 9 series I can achieve 8200MTS with my DDR5 RAM. With this much of an improvement will the extra cache actually make a difference since the MTS can make up so much? Gaming reasons
Aren't you worried that it will break and Asus will claim it isn't covered under warranty? It doesn't have enough slots anyways - might as well buy a stock dell if you don't need slots.
An itx B850 board with 8000MT/s RAM might be nice for SFF build with an APU... Damn, i wish AMD released that rumored 8 cores 32CUs Strix Halo APU on desktops as well. An Ultimate Emu box!.. or NAS, or both.
Why APU’s are garbage. There are small GPU’s that can easily fit in a mini ITX case. The 4070 FE is small and fairly powerful for that small form factor.
I rlly need to know this: on the MSI MPG X870E CARBON WIFI, there is a 3rd PCIE 4.0 slot. I was planning on putting my 4K PRO capture card in that 3rd slot. But I was just wondering, does this also take lanes from the 1st PCIE (Graphics Card) slot? I want to know if it in any way affects the Graphics card? (I'm getting the 4090).
if there’s a way to get matching TPHYRDL’s while using 6400 then I’d be using it. Until then I’m using 6200CL28-35-32-30-66 58.7ns My kit won’t budge any more unless I turn off geardown mode, power down enable & memory context restore. at that point I’m hurting performance if I push it any further. hopefully it’s just my kit.
Im waiting for Arrow lake reviews to decide but need to build a pc. Do you have to do a lot of fiddling in the bios and OS or can i just set xmp/(DOCP) and be done with it? As im looking into AMD im finding people saying things like turning core isolation on/off and having to use Process lasso.
You have to get the course first, at the end of it there is a cheap consult link for people that still need 1 on 1 help after. I don’t do public consults anymore otherwise
I was interested until I heard the price... I, personally, think that no motherboard should cost over $400. I don't see the value in anything above that threshold...
I was just going to use a thunderbolt 4 card on my z790 intel but asus must of read my mind adding this connector. Just the power for this new setup is going to be a little jank. Reminds me of using x4 m.2 slots and pcie risers. I should be okay with a thunderbolt 4 card for the next gen or two 😅
Awesome video brother! Gave a like and subscribed! 🤘🤘 What memory were you using to get those stable 7800 & 8000 numbers on your X870E? I just picked up the X870E and AMD 9950X looking to use them for gaming and workstation so I'm looking to min/max my total RAM and performance, I just ordered Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5 6000 CL30 AMD EXPO but I've been reading some ppl saying on reddit that G.Skill is more reliable for AMD EXPO overclocking and that 6400 CL32 is the sweet spot for AM5 mobo's so I'm contemplating ordering G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series (AMD Expo) DDR5 RAM 48GB (2x24GB) 6400MT/s CL32, G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 CL30, or Kingston FURY Beast 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400MHz CL32. I really wanted to have 96GB of RAM for content creation and live streaming/gaming simultaneously (running Ableton live 12, Elgato capture, Streamlabs, UA-cam, Google Chrome etc simultaneously) but I think I'm going to have to settle for 48GB or 64GB total. Awesome channel, keep up the great work! Where can I find a link to tip you? 🤘💪
Ok, so it wasn’t just me… the whole time, I was trying to figure out what RAM he was actually using. I noticed on the x870e hero site’s QVL… the only listed >6000MT/s was the Kingston Fury Beast and Fury Renegade. So that’s what I got. I just snagged the Kingston FURY Beast 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200) Memory (Desktop Memory) Model KF564C32BBEK2-64. Before realizing there was a DDR5-6400 CL32 Expo on the official QVL, I was really close to pulling the trigger on the G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo or Flare X5, both DDR5-6000 CL30 Expo. I would also like to get 96GB total if possible, but through all the research and tradeoffs and level of effort necessary and uncertainties… I think you and I landed at similar conclusions, settling for pursuing the best in class available for 2x32GB.

I've got a feeling that Asus is going to be hooking you up more after this. I never bought into all of the negative Asus hype. They've been the best in motherboards for like 30 years and also make the best routers.
It is my understanding that Amd Infinity Fabric cant support high memory frequencies, have to see which amd cpus are the most unstable. Intel Arrow Lake should fair well with stable support for 15000 MT and higher, and combined with fast nvme drives on pcie5. Intel will take the gaming and mp productivity crown for years to come. This is why users will stay with Intel cpus and Intel Arc gpus are already surpassing Amd Radeon.

i did buy the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Hero its the better deal it can use all m2 nothing getting cut away
Why not just use an x4 mini sas to oculink cable and attach that to an oculink pcie x4 board? Skip the nvme adapter.
I didn’t test it myself so I didn’t want to recommend it without knowing it works
Starting looking into my new build. What board would you recommend for non overclocking but enough usb ports?
I was lucky and found the X870E for 504$ compared to to X670E for 448$, both on amazon, so the choise wasn't that hard ;)
X670E Aurous Master can do 8000 MT/S i think that and the extreme are the only 4 slotters than can acheive that. The x670e hero wasn't worth it considering the master was better.
My rog strix x670e-e will do 8200 with those ram but it's 1:2. So really only 4100. I can do 6000 1:1 on it and it's faster.
G.Skill have 9,000mt ram for the AM5 platform now
So stripping features (surround VCA) and increasing prices, this is a trend for Asus. And you might not want to add thermal pads to the back of the DIMM slots, a heat-sink is only effective with airflow, that entire back-plate could heat up with time and rather than pull heat away from the DIMM slots now the DIMM slots become the heat-sink for the back-plate. That back-plate is suffocated with zero airflow.
Top! Straight to the point and exactly what everyone was looking for!
Very nice. I'm surprised that the Hero series of boards has something you think it would be on the ProArt for content creators. Maybe a version 2 of the ProArt X870-E with the SaS port. Make an all out best of the best for content creating on one board. I feel the ProArt is very close but this shows there's a few improvements could be made yet.
Thinking of upgrading my 9900KS recently and going to AMD with the X870E Hero with the 9800X3D when it launches. I've got a 3090 with a 10GB nic card currently on my Hero XI board currently that I was going to move over to the new build. Am I going to lose performance by doing so, I thought going from x16 down to x8 wasn't really noticeable? Appreciate any input! Thanks
Great content as allways, this channel is going to grow big😊
Been a while since I watched... Is Jufes on his amd arc now???
Going AMD for workstation yeah, 9950X is the better tool for the job. Intel still faster in gaming.
@@J.king87 amd is more expensive, u can build intel for dirt cheap nowadays
Thanks for the video, love your channel🎉
Keep up the great work Jufes! 👍🏻
Ok... So im debating on getting the new 9950x or wait for the 9800x3d... I have already bought the new x870e hero motherboard from Asus for overclocking reasons.... My question is this, with the new motherboard and the 9 series I can achieve 8200MTS with my DDR5 RAM. With this much of an improvement will the extra cache actually make a difference since the MTS can make up so much? Gaming reasons
All theae daughter boards might as well stick the capture card into the bottom slot of the x670e
could u please tell me which to get tuf x670e or tuf x870???
Does using the SlimSas take away any m.2/sata/pcie slots?
Enjoyed the video testing 8000MT/s kits in those boards. Off topic, is that Tolkin on your arm?
what itx do you recommended
Aren't you worried that it will break and Asus will claim it isn't covered under warranty? It doesn't have enough slots anyways - might as well buy a stock dell if you don't need slots.
An itx B850 board with 8000MT/s RAM might be nice for SFF build with an APU... Damn, i wish AMD released that rumored 8 cores 32CUs Strix Halo APU on desktops as well. An Ultimate Emu box!.. or NAS, or both.
Why APU’s are garbage. There are small GPU’s that can easily fit in a mini ITX case. The 4070 FE is small and fairly powerful for that small form factor.
Why choose the Pro Art over the Hero for a work station?
10g and better 5th gen m.2 support.
I rlly need to know this: on the MSI MPG X870E CARBON WIFI, there is a 3rd PCIE 4.0 slot. I was planning on putting my 4K PRO capture card in that 3rd slot. But I was just wondering, does this also take lanes from the 1st PCIE (Graphics Card) slot? I want to know if it in any way affects the Graphics card? (I'm getting the 4090).
if there’s a way to get matching TPHYRDL’s while using 6400 then I’d be using it.
Until then I’m using 6200CL28-35-32-30-66 58.7ns
My kit won’t budge any more unless I turn off geardown mode, power down enable & memory context restore.
at that point I’m hurting performance if I push it any further.
hopefully it’s just my kit.
Im waiting for Arrow lake reviews to decide but need to build a pc. Do you have to do a lot of fiddling in the bios and OS or can i just set xmp/(DOCP) and be done with it? As im looking into AMD im finding people saying things like turning core isolation on/off and having to use Process lasso.
Nice review, man! Subscribed
great video man. IF you have the X670E-E, and HAVE the time i would really like to see how it compares to the X870 Hero :)
I have the 9800X3D on a MSI Carbon X870E ----- I want 48Gb's 8000 Mt/s GSKILL NEO 5 DDR5 CL40 ---- is it ok to get this??? Thanks
Great job, as always
Nice video. You can check ROG MAXIMUS Z890 EXTREME. That is the real deal. The rest are chops.
Nice information man. I hope next gen CPUs can utilise 8000mhz memory speeds.
The difference between 6000 and 8000 memory is less than a 1% frame increase. Keep drinking the amd Kool aid
loving the content, new and old. keep it up. how can we book consultations assuming its still a thing?
You have to get the course first, at the end of it there is a cheap consult link for people that still need 1 on 1 help after. I don’t do public consults anymore otherwise
I was interested until I heard the price... I, personally, think that no motherboard should cost over $400. I don't see the value in anything above that threshold...
In my country it costs 800€ vs 600€ for x670e chipset. I will never buy a motherboard for that price.
Ugh, the problem is its ASUS. As long as nothing goes wrong with it, you're golden. Woe to thee if you have to do a manufacturer warranty claim.
I was just going to use a thunderbolt 4 card on my z790 intel but asus must of read my mind adding this connector. Just the power for this new setup is going to be a little jank. Reminds me of using x4 m.2 slots and pcie risers. I should be okay with a thunderbolt 4 card for the next gen or two 😅
Awesome video brother! Gave a like and subscribed! 🤘🤘
What memory were you using to get those stable 7800 & 8000 numbers on your X870E? I just picked up the X870E and AMD 9950X looking to use them for gaming and workstation so I'm looking to min/max my total RAM and performance, I just ordered Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5 6000 CL30 AMD EXPO but I've been reading some ppl saying on reddit that G.Skill is more reliable for AMD EXPO overclocking and that 6400 CL32 is the sweet spot for AM5 mobo's so I'm contemplating ordering G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series (AMD Expo) DDR5 RAM 48GB (2x24GB) 6400MT/s CL32, G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 CL30, or Kingston FURY Beast 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400MHz CL32.
I really wanted to have 96GB of RAM for content creation and live streaming/gaming simultaneously (running Ableton live 12, Elgato capture, Streamlabs, UA-cam, Google Chrome etc simultaneously) but I think I'm going to have to settle for 48GB or 64GB total.
Awesome channel, keep up the great work! Where can I find a link to tip you? 🤘💪
Ok, so it wasn’t just me… the whole time, I was trying to figure out what RAM he was actually using. I noticed on the x870e hero site’s QVL… the only listed >6000MT/s was the Kingston Fury Beast and Fury Renegade. So that’s what I got. I just snagged the Kingston FURY Beast 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200) Memory (Desktop Memory) Model KF564C32BBEK2-64.
Before realizing there was a DDR5-6400 CL32 Expo on the official QVL, I was really close to pulling the trigger on the G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo or Flare X5, both DDR5-6000 CL30 Expo.
I would also like to get 96GB total if possible, but through all the research and tradeoffs and level of effort necessary and uncertainties… I think you and I landed at similar conclusions, settling for pursuing the best in class available for 2x32GB.
@@mrvvoo yeah I'm about to build my rig today actually so will report back when I'm done! 🤘🤘
@@MVRKOFFCL Right on! Good luck! And do report back 💪
@@mrvvoo will do! I'm gonna live stream building it on Twitch if you wanna tune in, same name as here 🤘🤘
@@MVRKOFFCL Oh, sweet. What the quick rundown on your build?
Here’s mine:
- Asus ROG x870e Crosshair Hero
- AMD Ryzen 9 9950x
- Asus ROG Ryujin III liquid AIO
- Kingston Fury Beast 64GB (2x32) DDR5-6400 CL32
- Crucial T705 M.2 PCIe 5.0 4TB
- Asus ROG Strix 4080 Super
- Corsair HX1200i 80+ platinum
- SilverStone RM44
(That’s right… all this craziness… all to be hidden in a plain black box, rack mounted in a closet) 😉
Will be building this by the end of next week. Thinking about recording the experience, myself…
Before we continue discussing the best option, please don't forget to consider the Asus Rog X670E Gene! 😎
man i have question, if i by pro art mb and i install 1) nvme in top slot 2) gpu with waterblock 3) soindblaster ae9 4) 4k capture card. is that gonna work or no ?
Wonder what kind of performance uplift we could get if the motherboard had binned ddr5 modules attached directly by smd?
as a x670e hero and 7950x3d owner i think i will wait and see if the x870 burns the CPU again haha
Does the Asus X870E-E model right below the Hero also have the slim sas connector?
Intel is not holding any eork srarion crowns as the new voltage fixes lowers performance.
I've got a feeling that Asus is going to be hooking you up more after this. I never bought into all of the negative Asus hype. They've been the best in motherboards for like 30 years and also make the best routers.
hahaha what's up with the chode on the coffee mug?!
bummer about the tos audio i actually use those extra ports for my thumperooni
Too bad it didn't come out with the extreme x870e motherboard version
Thanks! What ddr5 ram are you using?
Ayoooooo thanks for the super man, in this video specifically I used 8200c38 teamgroup sticks with bitspower heatsinks.
Thank you!
Does that addition for the capture card add latency?
Damn good content as always.
It is my understanding that Amd Infinity Fabric cant support high memory frequencies, have to see which amd cpus are the most unstable. Intel Arrow Lake should fair well with stable support for 15000 MT and higher, and combined with fast nvme drives on pcie5. Intel will take the gaming and mp productivity crown for years to come. This is why users will stay with Intel cpus and Intel Arc gpus are already surpassing Amd Radeon.
Lets hope that jufes declares that 9800x3d doesnt dip
Finally ASUS sent him some gear 🎉🎉🎉🎉
you gonna try the MSI X870E GODLIKE?
What ram modules are used at this test?
Bro how u got so many boards? You got a shop or something or asus gifted u them
@Frame Chasers,
i bought 13950HX(Q1LP) @P5.7 @E4.3 and DDR4-4100 game config,
(Voltage offset -30, AC 0.3, DC 0.6), max VR OUT ~1.45
(On Asrock Z690 Extreme DDR4)
can do something like @P5.5 @E4.4 for CinebenchR23 40000 points
But with DDR-5 my best result so far was 6000 XMP, can't push even 6133
Really hope your video will soon come out
Can I buy those ddr5 heatspreaders only? I want them, but not the memories, I have pretty good ones already.
Thank you!
This is not the best am5 board!@ the best is meg x870e godlike !! 😡😡
Yes, agreed, but i'm trying to get Meg x870E Godlike since weeks - no chance. You can preorder for 1100USD on newegg though....
Ive been waiting all week for this video thanks youtube for not giving me the notification but thank you to my work for unmonitored shit breaks so i can watch it 🤣
Buildzoid not able to work 8000mhz ram on x870e hero.. so yours may be special board or a binned sample.. not meamt for everyone
I always liked asus hero boards bios it so easy to navigate and the usb connectivity is much better than all my gigabite boards, anyone else found this or just me?
Nope I Leah Asus is my favorite motherboard manufacturer. I always go with them for my builds that are always high end as well. I only go Gigabyte when I build budget builds for people.
@@ZackSNetwork Thanks my friends say its me and I don't know what I'm doing and they are correct. But Ive had zero issues with 2 asus apex builds and the 3 gigabite boards Ive had always something doesn't work correctly or not at all.
best amd mainbord is asus trx50 for HEDTgaming and futer !!!
camm2 modules and cudimms are coming at potention 10000 Mhz speeds in near future for ddr5
That will be great if amd gets their controller to work above 6400 1:1
@@walterrankin200, Some guy here wrote that he managed to achieve 6600MHz 1:1.
@@daniilmarkovskyj515 I saw that but didn't get any details. He must have increased voltage. I avoid that if possible
@@daniilmarkovskyj515 that's still a ways from 8000 1:1.
I've got a taichi x670e, a rog strix x670e-e, and a MSI X670e godlike and I'm not buying anymore mbs till camm2 comes out and is working and we can get 10,000 1:1. Oh yeah and my original asus B650e.
Like your videos BRO. AMAZING. SUB! would you go for APEX or HERO for general player?
