Not true, stay tuned, I had to catch up. I am sorry for the delay. I had the 13th/ z790 launch right after along with my sisters wedding, then holidays, but it's still on the roster.
Great breakdown! I have this board and its pretty good, but sometimes the io sheild feels a little warmer than im use to. Can you leave an external drive plugged in all the time and will it cause this type of activity?
Do you by any chance still have this motherboard? I got ripped off being this motherboard from eBay and the seller shipped it with a burnt capacitor on one of the VRMs, the capacitor I mean is placed on the back of the of the motherboard, but it's one of the ones from the top VRMs. Is there a way I could contact or message you? I could show you which one I mean exactly, the reason I'm asking is because I'd like to know exactly which capacitor I need to buy for replacement. Thank you.
can u say vrm height? I want to buy this but not sure if my "le grand macho rt" fits in this .... all new mobos have these big vrm heatsinks and no where their height is mentioned.... not everyone likes aios
I have the DDR5 version of this board in my PC and while I was running a game, i was trying to put something in the USB port, but I accidentally pressed either the bios flashback or reset cmos button on the IO shield area. It caused my pc to shut off instantly and the first time I tried to boot my pc it took longer than normal but subsequent boots were all normal. My ram OC was reset back to default but I was able to change it back to OC mode from the bios. I’m hoping I didn’t damage anything and my pc seems normal so far. Then again I only did this a couple days ago so I don’t know if there are lasting effects. I feel like it would be stupid for a manufacturer not to have some sort of safety mechanism because they are very easy to press when plugging in usb devices around it. What are your thoughts on this?
Yea you hit the clear cmos button. Nothing was damaged. Even if u hit the flashback button it probably wouldn't do anything since you'd need a USB stick in a specific USB slot with the bios file that has to be renamed to a specific format. Even if ur bios got corrupt, you can just fix it with bios flashback.
@@StevesHardware You can fix a corrupted bios with bios flashback? that’s good to know because I thought you need one of those bios programmer devices which is out of my technical knowledge range. That’s good to know, thanks!
@@Tatusiek_1 This MSI board and others have a tiny chip labeled "504AN", it is a Fintek F75504 with an MCU with embedded flash. It is able to flash your BIOS without a CPU or DRAM present, just standby power and a USB stick plugged in. It's purpose is to flash the BIOS as a failsafe to reduce RMAs due to BIOS ROMs that went bad or have corrupted firmware caused by many reasons. It is separate to the BIOS hardware, and the Fintek chip responsible for flashback is a self contained mini PC basically programmed to do one thing; find a file with the right name (that's why you have to rename the BIOS you put on the stick, so any BIOS version can work), from a USB stick formatted correctly and inserted into the indicated port, and write that file to the BIOS ROM. It is basically a BIOS reprogrammer specific to your board. I actually do have BIOS hijackers from long ago that can piggy back on top of a BIOS ROM and act as a second BIOS chip lol.
@@Tatusiek_1 it would have the same damaging effect as pressing the reset button, so you could lose data in windows. What sets it apart from the reset button is that it will clear settings in CMOS RAM, which is why your settings are reset.
No one do reviews like u on motherboards kepp it up bro
Yeah I think the X670E Ace bios walkthrough is never coming.

Hi, do you recommend this (ddr5 version) or the gigabyte aorus elite ax? Thank you 😊

Спасибо , что я вообще здесь делаю
Thank you for watching!
Can I remove the heat sink for the chipset cuz it wont fit my damn gpu :|

@@StevesHardware Also I thought it could be dangerous for the PC to press that button while running
