      @@michalk8520 I got one myself back in November. I wanted something with decent audio (alc4080) and space for two GPUs so I could screw around with PCI passthrough in VMs. Initially, as was the case with most AM5 boards early on, it took a weirdly long time to POST, but after a couple BIOS updates it's been much faster. I've been quite happy with it. And unlike Asus boards, it didn't melt my CPU.

    This guy is good. I do dissent on his recommendation to avoid the PCIe 5.0 MBs.
    Some of us keep our MBs for half a decade or more. Bought my current in 2018. It is only PCIe 3.0 because 3.0 was the best SSD on the market at the time. If it was 4.0, I would not be considering an upgrade today.
    If I want 5.0 storage in a couple of years, I don't want to have to rebuild on a new MB. Buying cheap today with no PCIe 5.0 means another upgrade would be necessary sooner. Might as well spend the extra $100 and have an MB that will be very useful in 3+ years.

      I agree but definitely a budget issue for most. If you're upgrading to this board then more than likely, you're also upgrading your CPU to match the chipset, will need to upgrade ram for DDR5, and most likely a graphics card to not bottleneck unless you're rocking at least a 3090. Starts to add up pretty quick.

    theres a few points i disagree with about the B650/X670 "E" arguments:
    -higher cpu overclocks: no. its depending on the silicon-quality of the cpu itself - not on the motherboard
    -better vrm and & power delivery: well, mostly every cheap b650 can run a 7800x3d as it is very efficient and powerstages arent a problem on x670/b650 in general
    -higher memory overclocking: wrong. overclocking of ram depends mostly on the ram-controller of the cpu
    the only thing viable on the b650/x670 "E" motherboard is indeed PCIe 5.0 for the gpu. and even the newest 40-series nvidia dont support it. also this isnt bottlenetting gpu at all right now, so over the next few years there wont be a benefit in having pcie5.0 for the gpu.
    i run a cheap ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 with a 7800x3d and 6000cl30 ram just fine. 130€ for the board
    boottimes seems to be an issue on am5. gigabyte and some asrock are the fastest ones. asus and msi seem to be really slow.

    ALL reviews on ALL motherboards have the same big fail. They do not show the number of lanes available on any secondary pcie 16 slot.They could be 4 or 8 or even 16 electrically. Many add in boards require 8 lanes to function that means the only way to use them is put the GPU in a secondary slot. Yes this limitation is not a reviewer fail it is a manufacturer fail. But I would be nice to know at review time, to discount the board immediately.

    Hi Danny, I'm looking at building a new gaming rig for the first time in about 15 years and am interested in investing into the AM5 Platform and currently have the following components on the shopping list (budget is around £2,000). The games I like the look of are (I mainly play FPS and RTS games): Cyberpunk 2077, Doom Eternal, Call of Duty series, Overwatch 2, Borderlands 3 and such like. I believe combining the Ryzen 5 7600X with a GPU like the RX6800XT (or higher) will squeeze the most performance out of the system and also has an upgrade path built in (the Ryzen 5 7600X can cope with the fastest GPU on the market, even the monster known as the RTX 4090 - so maybe when the price drops).
    * CPU: Ryzen 5 7600X
    * GPU: Radeon RX6800 XT or the 6950 XT
    * Mobo: MSI MAG Tomahawk B650 WIFI
    * CPU cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin or DeepCool AK620 (or maybe an AIO Liquid Cooler like the Arctic Liquid Freezer 2)
    * RAM: Kingston Fury BEAST RGB 16GB (2x8GB) 5200 CL40 or similar
    * PSU: CoolerMaster MWE Gold 750W V2 Fully Modular or similar (min.750W, at least B-Tier)
    * Case: So many to choose from but 2 that I like are the Be Quiet! Silent Base 500DX and the Antec NX410 (ideally would like the Hyte Y60 but this is a tad pricey at over £200 and the GPU is the most important component of all)
    * Monitor: Gigabyte M28U (a 4k one).
    I'd be interested to know what you guys think of this proposed setup!

    Hey i'm building a pc with a ryzen 7600.
    What B650M board do you recommend for futureproofing? (Planning to upgrade to a 8000X3D serries when they'll come out)

  • @Galileocrafter
    @Galileocrafter 11 місяців тому

    I think the Asrock B650 Livemixer is a solid choice too. Lots of USB-A. One PCIe 4.0 x16 and x4 directly off of the CPU and one x4 off the chipset, all physical x16. You can even put in a Thunderbolt card.
    Btw. be aware of the boards that have a two PCIe slots off the CPU. Some split them to x8/x8 when plugging cards in both. This can slow down your GPU by 5% to 10% !!! because now it only has an PCIe 4.0 x8 instead of x16.
    Also, bios flashback is required by AMD to be on every board.

    i'm gonna combo the 7700x with a b650e-e and some good 6400mhz ram. My current mpbo is from an old prebuilt, and my cpu is on it's last few months of life (r5 2600), so it's gonna be a very noce upgrade

    In my country, the MSI X670E Gaming Plus WIFI is the same price as many B650 boards. I kind of like every spec except the entry-level audio chipset (7.1 (Realtek ALC897). For 240€, I will probably get this for my ordered 7 8700x3d. I know PCIe 5 will be useless in the next few years, but I plan on keeping this motherboard for at least 6-8 years.

    Hello. My name is Joe. I did my first and only new build almost exactly 1 year ago. My motherboard is an Asus ROG Strix B550-E gaming w/wifi and blue tooth, Ryzen 5 3600 CPU w/Wraith Stealth cooler, EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G5, 80 Plus Gold 850W power supply, G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 3200 SDRAM, two Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SN550 NVMe Internal SSD's, and a very old, but still functioning WD 4TB mechanical HD, all in a Phanteks Eclipse P400A atx case. I had to settle for a crappy GPU because, well, it was 2021 and GPU prices were prohibitively expensive. It works, and I am happy with my build, but I want to upgrade...especially the GPU.
    My questions to you are as follows:
    1. Should I keep the B550-E, or go with the new Asus ROG strix B650E-F, knowing I will also have to replace the memory and the CPU?
    2. If I replace the MB, What CPU are you recommending? The new AMD 7950's are having real issues, i am hearing. I am NOT interested in Intel CPU's. I'm an AMD fan.
    3 If I keep the B550-E, I am looking at getting the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, ASRock Phantom Gaming OC Radeon RX 6950 XT, and adding another 32GB of memory. I think this may be the best route to go.
    What is your opinion? Thank you for your input. Your video was very clear and concise.

    I'm currently running a 7900X set to 65W TDP on a MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk. It has a horrible, high-pitched, electrical whine / crackling noise coming from the CPU. I'm using a passive CPU cooler (no fans), No GPU (using onboard graphics), and all case fans at 0 RPM. So, it's not anything mechanical that is making the noise. Any suggestions as to which board or boards will have the least propensity to experience coil whine?

    • @DannysTechChannel

      You don’t need to go all out on the motherboard. A B650 board will do just fine. I usually look at the rear I/O like USB ports and Ethernet speeds to make sure it’s got everything I want. I also look at how many PWM fan headers it has. I like all my cable routing to be easy. So I’d say it really depends more on what case you choose than “future proofing”
