Through Microcenter deals I managed to score this board for $179.99 and at that price point it is a good deal I'd say. I see many people saying they had issues updating the BIOS. I personally had no issues updating, I had to anyway because on stock BIOS it wasn't letting me overclock my RAM to its 5600Mhz speeds it offered. After the BIOS update it overclocked through EXPO perfectly fine, and I have also applied PBO settings to my 7700x and my computer is running rock solid. One weird thing to point out is Gigabyte came out with a new BIOS update late December if I am not mistaking. It was the F3h, I updated to that and it pretty much broke the PC and gave me all kinds of issues as well as not letting me OC my ram anymore or do any CPU tweaks. Luckily reverting back is as easy as updating the BIOS. Come to find out Gigabyte actually took down the F3h update from December and it isn't there anymore. Sucks they couldn't verify its stability before hand and all, I wonder if anyone else had that issue or if their boards actually bricked because of that update.
Really good overview. I would love to have the confidence to put out content like you are. You are proof you don't need fancy studios or expensive test beds to create enjoyable videos. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Okay I've had this board for almost a month now and I can confidently say that you can definitely notice the coil whine if you don't have headphones on, it's not loud at all though so I don't mind personally.
Thank you for this exact comparison. I already built a 7600x and 7800x3d on the x670 Elite AX version. Now building a 3rd system with a used $150 7600 I didn’t know if the $28 additional cost for the x670 would buy me much. Looks like 1 less Gen4 m2 slot, 1 less usb and slightly reduced vrm power delivery for a 7600. Opted to save the $28 and go the b650 for my son. I considered just keeping all 3 the same for added simplicity of bios updates and menus.
Returned this after I wasn't able to get it to boot and had nothing but problems with the bios (couldn't update bios, when I changed CSM support option the board would not post and would have to reset bios). Found a couple other posts online of people having the same issue so just exchanged it for the B650 Tomahawk, thank goodness for Micro Centers great return policy!

@@itsice22 Having a card be at the maximum possible PCIe spec is extremely important, even if it doesn't saturate it. As every PCIe generation doubles bandwidth, you can run a graphics card with the same bandwidth with half the lanes, so that's 8 more lanes to support other PCIe devices.

Ok, you asked about needing more than 11 USB ports. Mouse, keyboard, microphone, stream deck, Beacn Mix Create, Quest 3, Seven(7), yes 7 VR tracker dongle, SoundBlaster G6, Direct Drive Sim Racing Wheel, Racing Pedals, Shifter, plus a mouse and keyboard on the racing rig, of and a webcam. That's 20. Granted, i only use the trackers in VRChat .
To fork out almost 50% more for SATAs? Your choice, obviously, but with 3 M2 slots I would say, that 4x sata are more than enough for 90% of users. Now what I would love is to have PCI Express 5.0 for GPU to be more future proof (even though you really never can).
Why do you care about having a x1 PCIE slot? You can run a x1 card in a x16 slot - they're backwards compatible, but you cannot run the other way around.
Well I run a 6dof motion rig (3 usb ports) + simrig with 9 usb prereferrals and I also run a home studio on the same pc which also uses up 10+ usb ports. So yeah a measly 11 ports aren't going cut it 😅
If you prefer Strix, go with that. Those are all great boards and it just comes down to what features you personally need and how much you want to spend.

That is not cheap at all. Cheaper than the X670 but not with so much. 300$ (or whatever it costs exactly) for a board is a joke...
That is pretty much what all budget motherboards nowadays cost.

@@avrona that doesn't make it cheap. That makes everything expensive 😀. Also it is just strange that there is like no real budget motherboard, without gaming stuff we don't really need.
There is cheaper.. ASRock B650 PG Lighting is going for $199 on New Egg. And of course, micro b650 boards are going for 169-189$ on Newegg. But I think the man is saying.. for "Budget" board that checks off all the features, this board is perfect. You can always go lower and lose some features friend.
I bought this and I've been building my own PC's for 20+ years.... THIS is the worst motherboard I have EVER purchased in my entire life. The GPU PCI release clip immediately broke off when I tried to remove my GPU. It's made of super cheap plastic and is the worst constructed clip I've ever worked with. The board would not post. The CPU did not sit properly even using the correct slot insert and bend the board pins. THEN when I was removing the SDD after removing the odd cover for it, the BIOS battery just...fell off?? What a hunk of junk!
This board can't handle full throttle of the 7950x, it draws max 205W, it drops all on both CCD's clocks for about 15mhz, but its a great budget board as it offers most X670 things like USB C 20gbit and 10gbit on the I/O panel and WIFI6E which is great, but not future proof so to say as the power section is not that powerful
Not necessarily. Depends on all you want to do with your CPU and if you need more features. I think the sweet spot is around $200. If someone is just trying to game or get work done and doesn't know anything about messing with BIOS settings and all, then yes I'd get them a cheaper board for sure.
no one talks about GIGABYTE B650 EAGLE AX you wasting money on this mother board this GIGABYTE B650 EAGLE AX is the same and cheaper only diff is 7600 mhz on eagle ram 8000 on this crap and this crap has one more 3.2 usb for 60bucks more ? :D :D God pls
Fun fact, you can plug in devices with smaller PCIe slots into full size ones. No adapter or anything. It works.

@@avrona ok i see and this mobo Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX Now we have Gigabyte 670 AORUS ELITE AX vs Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX vs ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIF .I tink asus has better audio chip but less power phases
Get MSI mortar
Can i put a PCIe Gen3.0 NVMe SSD in Gen5.0 support slot?
Yes, PCIe is backwards compatible
my friend B650 Aorus Elite vs MAG B650M MORTAR WIFI ? :)
Both are great, just depends on what you want from a motherboard. Keep in mind the Elite is ATX and the B650M Mortar is mATX.
Both price wise the same. I am on a same dilemma. Gigabyte boot faster. Performance would be the same. Pcie 5 SSD is useless
at 250 USD in Amazon, it is still a waste of money. Will just wait for price drops before buying.
They are still not dropping.
bios updating on this board has issues
Why is that?
I had zero issues personally, running rock solid with OC'd RAM and applied PBO settings on my 7700x.
@@PaoloMix09 will i need to plug in the 8 and 4Pin EPS to boot the board? Or will it work (without OC) with just the 8Pin?
I will wait a year, no reason to upgrade my 3600
Got one in the mail already.
Update how is it now
I got this board just for the 3 analogue audio out ports for my ancient dtt2200 speakers. Had to sacrifice wifi with the non AX variant as it was on special A$120 off, stingy c$nt I am hehe. Looking forward to be able to play newer games over my previous i7 3770 gtx 670 rig.
That is not cheap at all. Cheaper than the X670 but not with so much. 300$ (or whatever it costs exactly) for a board is a joke...
That is pretty much what all budget motherboards nowadays cost.
@@avrona that doesn't make it cheap. That makes everything expensive 😀. Also it is just strange that there is like no real budget motherboard, without gaming stuff we don't really need.
There is cheaper.. ASRock B650 PG Lighting is going for $199 on New Egg. And of course, micro b650 boards are going for 169-189$ on Newegg. But I think the man is saying.. for "Budget" board that checks off all the features, this board is perfect. You can always go lower and lose some features friend.
$179 with $50 combo rebate at MicroCenter.
Amazon $ 229.99.
I bought this and I've been building my own PC's for 20+ years....
THIS is the worst motherboard I have EVER purchased in my entire life. The GPU PCI release clip immediately broke off when I tried to remove my GPU. It's made of super cheap plastic and is the worst constructed clip I've ever worked with.
The board would not post. The CPU did not sit properly even using the correct slot insert and bend the board pins.
THEN when I was removing the SDD after removing the odd cover for it, the BIOS battery just...fell off??
What a hunk of junk!

This board can't handle full throttle of the 7950x, it draws max 205W, it drops all on both CCD's clocks for about 15mhz, but its a great budget board as it offers most X670 things like USB C 20gbit and 10gbit on the I/O panel and WIFI6E which is great, but not future proof so to say as the power section is not that powerful
What do you mean it cannot handle full throttle? Is it like can't PBO?
Doesn't make any sense. Even gaming X with 8+2+1 can easily reach that. Are you sure nothing went wrong. Please give us more detail.
Would it work with a 7600x?
@@Shingleys Yes
Got one for $100 hopefully is good lol
Any Mobo over $150 is a waste...
Not if someone wants to overclock?
Not necessarily. Depends on all you want to do with your CPU and if you need more features. I think the sweet spot is around $200. If someone is just trying to game or get work done and doesn't know anything about messing with BIOS settings and all, then yes I'd get them a cheaper board for sure.
i love your smile😂
Thank you for the awesome recommendation. God bless. Jesus loves you!
How much did they pay you to do this video
