Adil Akhtar since he hasn’t answered I have the b550-f WiFi version which is the exact same obviously just with WiFi, and after 2 weeks of use it’s really amazing! Looks good and handles all overclocking nicely. The back io is super plentiful too
Luke provides excellent reviews of motherboards. He describes internal and external connectors and power delivery details and performance tests. I find his reviews thorough and very helpful. Thanks Luke! Could you do a review of the MSI B550 Gaming Pro Carbon? It looks very appealing. The VRM looks especially interesting.
This is perfect for me because all of the x570 for some reason have skyrocketed to upwards of $500 so if it stays at this price it's perfect. I will be using it with a ryzen 7 3700x so it will be good :)
Just commenting to say I literally just purchased both this and my 3700x today! Cheers friend I hope you enjoy your pair just as much as I know I will enjoy mine!! Glad I bought it this morning too because it went out of stock quick!
hey guys thanks for the info. i have been trying decide on my mobo i just recieved the 3700x a week ago and am as i said studying all boasrds trying to make the right decision, i don't really plan to do much overclocking i will be using my system for both recording audio and a little playing games. Do you think the 550 is worth the 100 us$ savings? or should i roll with the 570? ty fyi which video card do yall recommend?
BRO me too, same $179, I only need a power supply, lian li razer case and waiting for the Ryzen 7 5000 chips to restock and it's my first ever pc build
@@9livespending well the bots ended up winning this one. I did however get a good deal on a Sapphire Pulse 5700xt on ebay. Literaly everything else was sold out.
@@NMEofdaST8 I did a build with towamhawk for a friend. They boards are kinda equal. If you no die hard Asus fan just get the cheaper tomahawk. One thing tho, I saw the Asus has double cpu power sockets where the tomahawk only has the one 1x 4 pin on the mobo.
Last winter I helped my son build his first PC, we used the B550-F wifi gaming II board, and a 5700G chip... it's been a good machine so far. Now we are looking to add a GPU... I may actually build another very similar PC for our living room, for general purpose uses...with just the G processor and no GPU, as it won't be used for gaming...
Good review - regarding 10:47 - optical audio output seems to be available on the E version through a SPDIF connector on the board, although not ideal - all is not lost ;)
The thing that I do not like is that the B550 F gaming wifi is still relatively expensive compared to some competing b550 boards. But lacks certain features such as post code display, front panel usb c, reinforced ram slots. little things but these should probably be covered considering the steep price for this. Especially when you consider that entry-mid level X570 boards are in a similar price bracket
To be fair to ASUS for the BIOS... If you dont understand what the OC settings do/are... you shouldnt be messing with them in the first place to need an explanation.
Blimey that was long winded! Literally answered everything though which is what you want .. Just come across this now .. the B550-A is slightly reduced and I was leaning towards that, but so much choice and now X570's as well! jeeeeeeeeeeeez what do I do!
Regarding the Clear Cmos issue, just do what Bulldzoid does, connect the reset button wire to the clear cmos jumper. If OC:ing it's more essential to have clear cmos than reset, and you can do reset by holding the power button long enough anyway.
In its price range, definitely has some competition, but I was able to grab a b550f wifi II on sale for $189. Although it might lack a few minor things vs x570 I cared more about aesthetics for my White case/Black hardware build. Plus I paired it with the Asus Rog LC AIO cooler and the Eye Logo on the pump matches the Mobo logo so it looks godlike 🔥🔥🔥
He talks about 30-40 pound prices differences between x570 and B550 like you could actually get an x570 board for less than double the pre-Covid-19 price tag. Me over here, I sold my MSI X570 ACE with its disappointing VRM for $600 used on ebay (I paid 300 new) and picked up a a B550-F. a month later I can say The VRM on the B550 Is better where it matters like "cough" latency. as is the gaming performance. Maybe its only given me an extra FPS or two but at least I recuperated my money I wasted on the X570 ace not knowing the VRM in most of MSI's X570 boards was shit for ryzen 3000 CPU's Edit: this was still a good review and i subscribed.
No Clear CMOS on the back of the B550-E is a deal breaker for me. I guess I will wait for X570 prices to come down more.. Overclocking is such a pain if you have to open the case every time it doesn't POST.
The Strix F lacks the chipset RGB and internal type c header but the Strix E rear IO sucks compared to Strix F at such a higher price only because of the PCIE lane distribution and at that price and use case better to go with X570 anyways.
Any idea on how the heat on the M.2 compares to the pretty much equally priced MSI MPG B550 GAMING CARBON WIFI AM4 AMD B550 ? Really stuck between the boards
I need that Type C front connector, That should be standard on all X470 boards and up really. Most cases sold now that are decent are going to have at least 1 Type C 10Gig on the front of the case...
thanksssssssssssss!!!!!!! its INSANE that im checking this out again after almost THREE YEARS! but ive decided to leverage the 5800x3d with the new 7900xt i got for a great price, without going for am5. but i want a fresh build, so gettign a new mobo and system at PEAK am4 is my goal to last 3 years till i upgrade to a 4k 144hz+ build when things become mainstream with next generation to come out. cant wait to start buying stuff, but its sooooooooo critical that i get all of this info and review detail after 5 yeasr of not paying attention ot markets with my b450/r5 2600/gtx1080 life lol. thanks! trying to decide if i stick with BUILT IN wifi especially the SEXY wifi 6e antenna that rog strix offers for a greast b550 price buuuuuuuut idk. too bad i cant use ethernet in my house until i move ot a new apartment but thanks again
ahh, confused... which motherboard will better with Ryzen 7 3700X CPU and Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB AORUS Video Card? should I go with Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI)? Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI)
Great comparison. So the 550-e has a header for USB-C type port on PC case? I looked at the mobo diagram and couldn't see the header.....unless it's called something else.
E has more features, it has two pcie gen 4 x16 that can be run in x8 mode, and also internal usb - type c header, while the F only has one pcie gen 4 x16 slot and no internal usb type c header.
The F model is a slightly stripped down version, it has no double-digit debug display, just one shielded PCI-E x16 slot, 1 less M.2 slot, no RGB on the chipset and no USB-C 3.2 inside the board, and a few less RGB strip and FAN connectors inside.
Ethernet port is not working properly in those motherboards. It keeps disconnecting and speed drops to 100mbs. I have 1gig fiber net and had to order new network card to get 1gig speed. Intel and Asus don’t talk about that and there is no driver update to problem.
I've got a question that maybe you'll be able to answer! I have a Asus Rog Strix B550-F Gaming, a Ryzen 5 5600X and for now a GTX1660Super (Planning on getting a RTX3070Ti down the road), MY PSU is a Corsair RM650 and it only has the 8pins to 4+4pins but the motherboard has a 8+4pin entry. I've read that it will work more than fine with only the 8pins and the other 4 are only requiered for hard overclocking. Altough this might be true, is there any way to get a cable to expand another 8pins to 4+4pins to connect to the remaining slot?
@@heroedeleyenda79 if I go buy the E with WiFi and Type-C cable for front header and my enclosure does not have a type C in front panel will be that a problem?
I didn't know the "target" audience for x570 all liquid nitrogen users, not that they need all the extra usb 3 and pci-e lanes while they crank up the frequency..... Anyways, target audience for a board over $200 10 years ago was enthusiast, hardly anyone would be half-witted enough to pay the lunatic prices of boards these days.... Example, Crosshair V was affordable...
I’m thinking of getting the B550-F and I have a Ryzen 3800XT, does the board support it natively or do I need to flash the bios in order to even use the board with my processor?
I've got the ASUS ROG b550-F - my PSU only has the 8 pin power connector, it doesn't have a 4 pin + 8 pin, will that affect the board in anyway? The manual states not to connect the 4 pin connector alone but nothing about just connecting the 8 pin??
I have the b550-E version and the ssd in the second m.2 slot only runs as fast as 800mb read and write speed which is way to slow. the interface speed says its connected with gen3 and 4 lanes which doesnt make sense cause then it should be much faster.
Got the B550 E, I need that front USB C 10GB header. Proper modern. Can't wait to pair it with 5950x, all core overclock and 4GHz ram. Bargin who needs Threadripper or X299?
The Chipset is running into bandwidth issues with all the ports it hast manage since it runs still on PCIe Gen 3. I like the decision, because that way we can have save speeds on the USB ports und some USBc ports aswell. I don't need USB3 for my periphericials anyways. Asus saved bandwidth on the best location. Another question to you guys, what is the difference between USB 3.1 Gen1 und Gen2?

So, if you connect an M.2b drive to the GEN3 2nd slot, along with sata SSDs, the speed of the M.2a GEN4 slot will also suffer?
The M.2 Gen 4 slot is not affected whatsoever as it uses 4 PCIe Gen 4 lanes direct from the CPU and does not share them with anything else.

And also, why does the "F" cost less than the "E"?
ward
E have more features like debug led but i honestly recommended the F ( bought myself one 1week ago)
E has more features, it has two pcie gen 4 x16 that can be run in x8 mode, and also internal usb - type c header, while the F only has one pcie gen 4 x16 slot and no internal usb type c header.
I choose E gaming.
The F model is a slightly stripped down version, it has no double-digit debug display, just one shielded PCI-E x16 slot, 1 less M.2 slot, no RGB on the chipset and no USB-C 3.2 inside the board, and a few less RGB strip and FAN connectors inside.
Why didn't you test the Aorus Master with just 1 nvme drive and no extra SSD?

Will the b550-f version work instantly with ryzen 5 5600x Or do I have to update the bios?
All x570, and b550 support 5th gen ryzen. I believe
got b550-f wifi and 5600x, requires bios update before boot.
@@kevinc2345 im new to pcs and getting both the b550-f wifi and 5600x. how do I update bios?
@@alexandertapia4072 try google "asus bios flashback". essentially you will need a usb drive and insert it into the usb slot with bios marked.
The F version has ARGB aswell by the way, bit late to the party though
Got the B550 E, I need that front USB C 10GB header. Proper modern. Can't wait to pair it with 5950x, all core overclock and 4GHz ram. Bargin who needs Threadripper or X299?
Hey, how’s the performance after three years?
@@JackDaniels08 Are you asking about the CPU or the board? Or both?
Which type of sensor I can connect to thermal header ? Resistance sensor ?
What's the best Asus ROG STRIX B550 motherboard for a Ryzen 9 5900X
does this motherboard need both the 8-pin and 4-pin connector for cpu to run? I have cooler master psu which has 8-pin but not another 4-pin connector
Can you use the bios usb like a normal USB port?
so the B550F gaming wifi dont support pc case that come with type c port infront? cuz i plan to buy the bequiet 500dx with type c port infront
Heard this was the one for the 5800x
I compared the Asus f gaming to the MSI gaming carbon wifi. I purchased the MSI carbon wifi better features

Mortar is only 4 layers so if want fast ram get the tomahawk -It also have cooler running vrm.

Which house?
Chucked a subscribe brother keep up the great work
Has anyone bought the wifi model? Would like to know what speeds you are getting over wifi
I ordered ASUS ROG STRIX B550-E GAMING replacing my B450 AORUS Elite. I hope it will run my 3700x normally?
Yeh it should, but imo that was more of a sidegrade.
Don't worry, even a light oc 3900x won't be a problem with that board's phases and vrm..
look at the B550-E rear usb connectivity, is that a joke? 4 usb 2.0 and only 2 usb 3.0
I use USB c dongles anyways, so I can get 2 USB c ports extra.
asus being asus
The Chipset is running into bandwidth issues with all the ports it hast manage since it runs still on PCIe Gen 3. I like the decision, because that way we can have save speeds on the USB ports und some USBc ports aswell. I don't need USB3 for my periphericials anyways. Asus saved bandwidth on the best location.
Another question to you guys, what is the difference between USB 3.1 Gen1 und Gen2?
@@Xbox360SlimFan gen 1 runs at half the speed of gen 2, 5gbps vs 10gbps.
@@Xbox360SlimFan save the bandwidth for what? second gpu slot? what's the use of that? how many folks are running 2 gpu nowadays? i had way more than 2 usb 3 devices and that's pretty common for many people
