To be honest the likely hood of it actually doing anything beneficial is very low, but you'd be surprised how long fans can last. I've got some that are working ten years later.
But doesn't it just give a bit of cooling to the VRM? It shouldn't be a write off of the board to lose that little fan. And it if failed after a couple of months, that's within warranty?
@@jordanash I think so too. In a review I had red that one can manually turn off the fan. So unless the fan is causing an electrical fault, I'd be surprised, if the boards wont boot because of the fan. Anyway the VRMs are designed so you could use the board with a 16 core cpu. 10 x 70A x ~1V cpu voltage = 700W theoretical maximum supported cpu power draw. Mind you, the typical power draw of the 7700X or 7800X3D will be less than 100W in gaming. I use the board since a year now. with the first iterations of the bios the PC liked to crash occasionally and the coils whined in idle. Bios updates fixed the crashes and I managed to turn off the coil whine by setting a thermal limit for the CPU which also reduced the power draw. At the moment Im happy with it. I expected that newer BIOS revisions would unlock a higher RAM OC headroom(also because it is 2 bank design) but so far that didnt materialise. 6000MT/s; CL30 kit is stable with expo settings, but as apparently with many ryzen 7000 chips, 6200 is already unstable without finetuning. maybe the memory controller of Zen 5 or 6 will allow higher clocks.
Thank you! I'd update the BIOS to the latest as they've added a lot of support for different memory kits, plus higher frequencies. In terms of fans, I just let the motherboard control them in my videos, as that's what the majority of people would do, so can't really help there sorry.
X670E is a higher spec, so it'll have higher features, faster/more USB, Audio etc. I've not covered or looked at the X670E-I, so I'd just google one vs the other and have a look. That's all I'd do to help, but you can do that for yourself to see.

*CORRECTION* Ram support is a maximum of 96GB. How I got to 192, I do not know... 😅
Thank you J! 🙌
You're welcome, thanks for watching
Awesome video, been looking for a great mini-itx mobo for an H1 V2 build.
Thank you ☺
I always worry about little active fans hidden away on the MB, what happens when they fail?

They do, it failed on mine and had to sell the mb for spares and repairs
@@jordanashfew months, Indeed surprised. Look around pal

Great vid as per usual!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video! Never had a MB with active cooling, wondering how noisy these little fans would be?
I doubt you'll notice them to be honest.
@@jordanash really, alright, cool!
Great video - I am building mine as well with this motherboard. Do you have any information resource for best BIOS and fans setup? Thanks

@@jordanash ok, I appreciate the response.
No worries.
Hi, I read that the speed of fan connected to HS_FAN (heatsink fan header) cannot be controlled or turned on/off. Is that true?
Hey. I will be using this in a build soon and will let you know
@@jordanash That's very kind, thank you 🤜🤛
No worries
@@jordanash The review in which I read this is already a year old and I could imagine, that the problem is meanwhile fixed by an newer BIOS.
Yes, very true
Have you got any coil whine issues after using it awhile?
I build a media centre pc and didn't have any issues. ua-cam.com/video/CGV7HPTtrmQ/v-deo.html
Love the video
Thank you!
Did you have any coil whine or wifi problems?
I didn't notice any, no. I didn't use Wifi - hardline all the way
please correct me if im wrong you mentioned 192gb of ram but its says on their specs it only supported 48GB? how to increase it to 192gb? thanks
It supports four 48gb sticks.
how 4 48gb sticks its only 2 slots dimms.?
Haha, sorry I thought this was another board. It's meant to be 96GB total.
Lots of coil whine issues with this model. Have read over 50 people having issues
Oh right, well I'll check mine when I build with it next week and add a pinned comment if I find the same thing.
Whats the difference between this board and the ASUS X670E-I ROG Strix Gaming WiFi? Same brand, both ITX, just different chipset?
X670E is a higher spec, so it'll have higher features, faster/more USB, Audio etc. I've not covered or looked at the X670E-I, so I'd just google one vs the other and have a look. That's all I'd do to help, but you can do that for yourself to see.
