The table that compares physical features of the m/b is so underrated.... it works much better than those compare plugins from the manufacturer websites.... your channel is underrated too.... thx for your work
Definitely! I'd love to see her add the Strix x670e-A and x670E-F, as well as the b650e and the non-e boards. That would take the prize for the most complete table on the net!
I love her reviews, she inspects every quality, that all other reviewers miss. So I watch her reviews even if I watched other UA-cam reviews. My first experience was with her reviews on a SSDs.
She didn't talk about the PCIE 3.0/4.0 switch, the fact that most of these boards don't have a proper quantity of PCI lanes routed to the non-cpu PCI ports (some boards have to split the 16x, some boards only have two lanes routed to the extra PCI slots), and failed to recognize the 60W power output for the front panel USB-C ports and how they need to get powered by 6-pin power plugs. One of the only channels reviewing a wide range of motherboards yet ended up spending more time ranking and picking a favorite than covering the quirks and oddities to look out for. Trying to find info on these new boards during my research is turning up ambiguous info. I'd really prefer some of the questionable quirks to be demystified instead of shunning and throwing out options in favor of a wonky pick like the hero board. With the availability of the entire range being spotty I'm less interested in an endorsement and would really prefer to see testing, in depth analysis, and some fully illustrated comparing and contrasting instead of rattling off a list of detail for each one that can be found on the motherboard's respective webpages. But yeah, other than that, good video.
I think NZXT B550 was a really good option last gen. 6 layer PCB and cheap for like 200€ (prices are varying from 200-300$ all the time on different models)
@@boboboy8189 u dont need pcie 5 unless you want to go nvme pcie 5. and even then unless you are doing content with hundreds of gigs or terabytes it's pointless.. just look it has good caps, support, pcb layers, and other things you might need or want.
Your previews are always top notch. You include all of the meaningful features and you provide the technical details that I've seen other creators get wrong correctly. The video is shot beautifully as well; motherboard eye candy. Thank you for all of your hard work! It is greatly appreciated.
I think the x670e Proart motherboard is the most underrated mobo here. It's not flashy as the ROG, but look at those connectivity options and set of features.
Yeah, I didn't notice it until I'd already ordered and recieved a Hero, but the ProArt has most if not all of the connectivity of the Hero (including USB4) at a significant discount, on account of not having as many VRMs (which appears completely fine if you're not planning on doing any OC) or RGB (which I personally find a bit tacky). The DisplayPort pass-through isn't even something I'd noticed until I stumbled upon this video just now, and it's actually a great idea that I can't understand why it's not standard on all USB-C gaming motherboards.
i was looking for videos showcasing all of the new X670E boards for easier comparison. just stumbled upon your video now. love the detailed rundown! beautiful boards!
One thing you need to mention in further previews is how many PCB layers the motherboards have. They range from 4 for low end boards and 6 for mid to high range boards.
I'm glad I never claimed that I'm reasonable. I ordered and now own the X670E Extreme board. I just want to make sure I have ALL the options I could possibly want. And I know I'm gonna be keeping this new build for nearly 5 years before I upgrade again. So I'm fine with buying the best of the best now, and riding it through this entire socket, until I upgrade again. It's why I'm also planning on getting the 4090. Plus, once you break it down, it ends up being less than $1,000 per year. Not to bad for a hobby, and a device that I'll end up using every single day.
WoW Nado , that channel of yours is growing pretty fast.And i am gonna admit i am little jealous of the fact you get all newest toys right away on the launch. 😆 But at the same time i am proud of my countryman ,living the dream.Great video , thank you. Samo napred i veliki pozdrav. 😃
Tuf sounds like the plan, but strix calls for me too. Like im gonna miss out on something. So here i am. Just found you, just subscribed. Thanks for the clear information and not so much hype as other channels ive been looking at. Gonna browse more vids. I think youre gonna be teaching me a lot.
These are the exact comparisons I was looking for. Really helps me get the context I need to make a decision that's right for my use case. Thanks so much!
These prices are an absurd, if i were to build a PC right now, i'd just skip the whole thing until prices would be acceptable. Everyone should do the same, embargo so that they wake up - Keep buying and they keep rising.
Had already settled on the STRIX, thanks for confirming that choice! I agree, love the Asus BIOS, well laid out and stable. My old Rampage IV - Black Edition is where that theme started! There is also a Strix F and A for slightly cheaper than the E. Looking forward to reviews!
I also settled on the Strix E yesterday when comparing side by side. I would've loved to have USB4 to simplify some of my connectivity setup via a dock but the Hero only having 2 full connectivity PCIe slots kills it for me as I currently use two Optane add-in cards (which are PCIe x4 connectors)
The strix x670e-a looks pretty good in white and doesn't lose any features that I really care about compared to the other strix e and f options. I am probably going to go for that. Just waiting for raptor lake first to see if we have any price drops in the upcoming months.
I just picked up the ROG X670E Extream MoBo with a 7950X CPU 32Gbs of RAM & i'm super happey with my choice. The lower temps over my 5950X I'm happy with it. Work & play with this build. I onlt upgrades my MoBo, CPU & RAM. So, nothing else more to get really I had everything else.
You missed the Rog Strix x670E-A. It falls between the Tuf/Prime and the Rog Strix E-E, both in price and features. There's also a VERY slightly higher end Rog Strix s670E-F, to help fill out the alphabet! Honestly, though, they're not much different from any of them or each other. (Strangely, the F seems to fall between the A and the E, at least price-wise!) I think that they mainly exist to plug the hole in the price range between $350 and $500, at $420 and 450. Is it me, or does it seem like Asus basically decides what price points they wanted to cover across the board, then struggled to actually figure out now what features would actually differentiate those boards at those price points? Great job at breaking down the minor differences, especially with that awesome chart!
You're right though, every year they kinda stuggle to add/remove some features so that most boards make some sort of sense. And every year a few models stand out more/less.
At the $500 price point, the ProArt seems like a much better buy than the Strix since it has both USB4 and the 10gig ethernet in exchange for postcodes and physical buttons. Is there anything else to know about the ProArt that limits it - like does it have a different BIOS that doesn't enable overclocking, is the VRM not as good, or is the cooling inadequate?
The VRM is very adequate for even a 7950x, bios is essentially the same as far as I know (I watched Asus's live stream about it), look at the spec sheet on asus's site. The proart isn't getting the attention it deserves IMO. It's always nice to see a mature looking motherboard without RGB, and just sticks to business.
What an excellent round up, thank you so much. I am about to build a new system from scratch so this could not be better timed for me. I don't care about RGB so now I know to get the Strix, rather than the Hero. Thanks again Nada
ProArt X670E seems the more logical choice to me , USB4 40GB/s + 10Gig Lan , absolute beast of a mobo for 500$. However I am not sure if you can undervolt your Ryzen 7000 cpu with it and how good are the power phases.
I don’t expect most people to use 10 gig, but it does do something unique for sure. And you can undervolt properly just like with rog boards, and the vrm should be more than enough for an overclocked ryzen 9.
3:36 "Big heatsinks all around", but buildzoid from actually hardcore overclocking said that the heatsinks are only necessary if you do LN2 overclocking, because they don't produce enough heat even with water cooling.
Thank you for this excellent round-up. I went for the Gene in the end and I'm delighted with it. It's expensive, but beautifully made and it doesn't really have any competition in the mATX space. I figured it'll last me several years as we go through new generations of Ryzen processors, if AMD keeps its promise to support the AM5 socket until at least 2025 or so. I also do have some Thunderbolt peripherals which I use with my Macs, so this may come in handy.
Ok, let me tell anyone interested in the Extreme model, yes I purchased it along with the 7950x and the 4090. To be honest I'm upgrading from a Intel i7 2900k that's been running at 5ghz since launch with SLI GTX680s. The $5,500 build will stay this way for the next 5 years before I drop another 5-6k on another PC. Am I pissed at the price of everything? Yes. But ... I didn't want to take any corners and kick myself in the future. Happy gaming everyone!
I am still using the system I built back in November 2012 using the i7 2600k cpu, Asus MB and 980Ti as the major hardware. The system, while still working, needs to be upgraded. My builds do more than game. I also use this system for editing many large photos using photoshop, lightroom, Topaz and other editing software. Since I don't upgrade every generation and the system is designed for double duty, I am going with the Asus Hero even though the Strix is a very compelling option because; 1) the additional storage capability with the additional m.2 and Sata storage options (do more than just game), 2) USB4...so I don't have to upgrade board later and I do lots of big file dumps, 3) I don't look to upgrade with each generation and use the hardware much longer than the masses and want to get all that is needed on the initial build and that is where I get my price to performance value. The debate of whether to go with the Hero or Strix is real that is for sure and Asus knows this and dangles that carrot in front of you by adding small bits to sway buyers one way or the other...damn. Because I am on a longer upgrade path than usual/most and the system does double duty work, I am doing this 10 year anniversary build using all top tier hardware because it will most likely last me another 10 years. With that said, do you have a video that discusses the higher end motherboards and cards in more detail? That comparison table is much more visible that trying to decipher each MB separately for sure and makes it easier to see the differences to make an informed purchase decision.
Thought that difference betwin "e" boards and none, is that the E version don't share the PCI-E Lanes with the M2 slots. But going on Asus HP it says that if M2 is installed, the PCI port only goes with 8x.
Although I didn't go extreme I still threw out logic and reasom and picked up a Hero for my 7800X3D. These boards are pieces of art that's the only way for me to justify the cost.
Something I'm wondering about, I heard some reviewers say that some PCIe M.2 ports share bandwidth with the PCIe port for the graphics card while other ones do not. This seems concerning as we may see a big drop to performance in some situations. Do you know anything about this you could share? It's hard finding absolute verification of this and it's important for consumers to know.
Oof. Beautiful boards for sure, but those aren't prices I can easily stomach. Gonna wait for B650 and B650E. And who knows, maybe AMD'll surprise us with an A620 chipset
Ooh, I really like the tables you made to compare the various boards based on price, fan headers, RGB headers, etc. Much easier to parse than opening a separate tab for each board to look at the specs for each board haha(because PCPartPicker it good, but not perfect). Thank you for the great content! Also, very exciting to see USB4 ports starting to appear on some back-panel I/O! I'm hoping my next board will have USB4. The dream of a single-cable to have a "remote desktop" (i.e. desktop is in a completely separate room of the house from my actual desk allowing for a cool and silent work/play environment) is approaching hopefully! (Now optical USB4/TB4 cables just need to drop in price haha)
I love your overview. You are right $1000.00 for a board is out of control. It will be interesting when you start doing the benchmarking with the 4090 and the new Radeon cards. Which one of those boards have the usb c on the header that allows 27 watts or 60 watts of charging and do they all have the header port that you can connect your usb c case to?
10 Gig LAN costs about 50-70 dollars or so, so don't expect that soon. TUF comes without WiFi too in theory, but haven't seen any stores list it yet. No idea about Prime.
15:25 Would be nice to hear about your guys experience with these new AM5 motherboards from Asus. Specially as you mention that you girls/guys use these for in-house benchmarks and testing for results. I think some of the gamers would be eager to know some "Tricks & Tips" for these new motherboards. Hope we get more in-depth motherboards video's from you girls/guys. 👌
Hey Nada. Did you ever run into any coil whine with these boards or any other of the X670E line? I've just heard a lot online about coil whine specifically from some mid-high end of the Asus motherboards. But maybe it's just bad luck? Just seem to have quite a lot complaining about it for this generation.
Having used my X570-I from Asus for several AMD CPUs, up to the 5950X and having the long lifecycle, bios updates etc. I would consider not buying the very cheapest X670 boards. My reasoning for this is that the long lifecycle means that you might very well replace/upgrade the CPU even if you build a budget PC.
Coming after a year - glad everything has become much cheaper and prices are established. Certainly I understand the price increase over AM4 since LGA socket, pcie5, ddr5 and TSMC price increase are playing their roles in that.
Really enjoyed this review. Learned that the X670E Strix E is the absolute I must go. And even the TUF one is a good choice this gen. Any idea if you are planning to do a similar video with the MSI motherboards?
Does it make sense to choose a x670 over a B650 considering upgradability in the future? I really have a tough time choosing a motherboard for my first pc build, oter specs I chose: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Intel Arc A770 Graphics 16 GB GDDR6 Cooler Master MWE Gold 750 Full Modular V2 PSU Kingston DDR5 FURY Beast 2x32GB 5600 DeepCool CC560 WH Midi Tower DeepCool AK620 White Samsung 980 PRO 1TB M.2 SSD Using it for Game dev in particular, noticed with my current pc that I tend to run out of Vram and memory, so that's why I chose the a770 with the 16gb of vram for a reasonable price and I need a motherboard with 128gb of memory capability for future expansion
the only board that is really missing: Asus ROG Strix X670E-F GAMING WIFI.. That one has enough features over the X670E-E gaming wifi. And less expensive. TUF is Okayisch, PRIME got the wrong color sceme. Was nice if there was a black version also.
I'm currently using "ROG Strix X570-E Gaming" with "Ryzen 7 5800X". If I were to buy now it would be "ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming" with "Ryzen 7 7700X". I certainly don't think I need to upgrade to a new generation. I wouldn't feel a significant difference. In any case. I recommend "ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming", because he is the successor of my current "ROG Strix X570-E Gaming" which is perfection.
good video with a nice look on the asus lineup. was good to watch. the only thing is... I didn´t know the Netherlands are in the US. Where are the Euro Prices?
I have a question, as I am very confused by those Asus boards. For those boards with the Intel JHL8540 USB4, if I read all over the internet, the USB can also be used as a Thunderbolt, as they say it's work on the same protocol. . On the manual from Asus for the BIOS settings, there is a section mention the settings for the Thunderbolt. In de board manual however they don't speak about the Thunderbolt. So I emailed Asus about this and there they say if it's not mentioned in the manual there is no Thunderbolt, but it's hard to believe, that on the extreme, for the price, they have disabled the Thunderbolt and for the cheaper boards they have enabled. Can you tell me if you have tested the extreme and checked the BIOS if there's the Thundebolt section mentioned?
What is the best board, ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Hero and ProArt X670E-CREATOR to work on the 3d max vray program, the processor used is the ryzen 7950x?
No way I am buying any of these boards at £340 minimum, unfortunately. They will have to be half of that price for me to even consider it, and preferably less than that even.
So ive noticed the board ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI 6E Socket AM5 is back ordered but main thing i was curious about is does the first Gen releases of these kinda boards ever restock or is it a one time drop kinda thing on release and then they are never restocked since the hype of the chip release dies down and they wont sell as many as time goes on?
The table that compares physical features of the m/b is so underrated.... it works much better than those compare plugins from the manufacturer websites.... your channel is underrated too.... thx for your work

One of the only channels reviewing a wide range of motherboards yet ended up spending more time ranking and picking a favorite than covering the quirks and oddities to look out for.
Trying to find info on these new boards during my research is turning up ambiguous info. I'd really prefer some of the questionable quirks to be demystified instead of shunning and throwing out options in favor of a wonky pick like the hero board. With the availability of the entire range being spotty I'm less interested in an endorsement and would really prefer to see testing, in depth analysis, and some fully illustrated comparing and contrasting instead of rattling off a list of detail for each one that can be found on the motherboard's respective webpages.

Same. My first time seeing her was an SSD review. Quite pleasant to watch.
Nada, you make cramming so much info into a short video look effortless.

@@TechTesters it's awesome, thanks! :D
Definitelly I will wait to see the B650-B650E alternatives, current X670 prices are crazy!

@@TheTanelChannel doesn’t matter it’s a spec that needs to be mentioned. You sound like a noob.

My builds do more than game. I also use this system for editing many large photos using photoshop, lightroom, Topaz and other editing software. Since I don't upgrade every generation and the system is designed for double duty, I am going with the Asus Hero even though the Strix is a very compelling option because; 1) the additional storage capability with the additional m.2 and Sata storage options (do more than just game), 2) USB4...so I don't have to upgrade board later and I do lots of big file dumps, 3) I don't look to upgrade with each generation and use the hardware much longer than the masses and want to get all that is needed on the initial build and that is where I get my price to performance value. The debate of whether to go with the Hero or Strix is real that is for sure and Asus knows this and dangles that carrot in front of you by adding small bits to sway buyers one way or the other...damn. Because I am on a longer upgrade path than usual/most and the system does double duty work, I am doing this 10 year anniversary build using all top tier hardware because it will most likely last me another 10 years. With that said, do you have a video that discusses the higher end motherboards and cards in more detail? That comparison table is much more visible that trying to decipher each MB separately for sure and makes it easier to see the differences to make an informed purchase decision.
Thought that difference betwin "e" boards and none, is that the E version don't share the PCI-E Lanes with the M2 slots. But going on Asus HP it says that if M2 is installed, the PCI port only goes with 8x.
I bought the Asus X670E Extreme on release day, can't wait to use it.
I have little time left so I said F it and ordered it.
Although I didn't go extreme I still threw out logic and reasom and picked up a Hero for my 7800X3D. These boards are pieces of art that's the only way for me to justify the cost.
That frying CPU prediction :)
Thanks very proper review.
Something I'm wondering about, I heard some reviewers say that some PCIe M.2 ports share bandwidth with the PCIe port for the graphics card while other ones do not. This seems concerning as we may see a big drop to performance in some situations. Do you know anything about this you could share? It's hard finding absolute verification of this and it's important for consumers to know.
Great question, I heard the same thing.
Oof. Beautiful boards for sure, but those aren't prices I can easily stomach. Gonna wait for B650 and B650E. And who knows, maybe AMD'll surprise us with an A620 chipset
this was a great review. thank you so much I will be buying the Hero.
Ooh, I really like the tables you made to compare the various boards based on price, fan headers, RGB headers, etc. Much easier to parse than opening a separate tab for each board to look at the specs for each board haha(because PCPartPicker it good, but not perfect). Thank you for the great content!
Also, very exciting to see USB4 ports starting to appear on some back-panel I/O! I'm hoping my next board will have USB4. The dream of a single-cable to have a "remote desktop" (i.e. desktop is in a completely separate room of the house from my actual desk allowing for a cool and silent work/play environment) is approaching hopefully! (Now optical USB4/TB4 cables just need to drop in price haha)
I love your overview. You are right $1000.00 for a board is out of control. It will be interesting when you start doing the benchmarking with the 4090 and the new Radeon cards. Which one of those boards have the usb c on the header that allows 27 watts or 60 watts of charging and do they all have the header port that you can connect your usb c case to?
do the "hybrid OC" work across all Asus boards including the ProArt? or limited to only the ROG ones?
Nice video you got a like and a sub.
Very honest review great job
Will there be versions of the TUF and PRIME without WiFi? A shame they still didn't make 10G Ethernet standard on this generation of motherboards.
10G would just make motherboards even more expensive. People in need of 10G Ethernet in my opinion are quite a niche collective.
10 Gig LAN costs about 50-70 dollars or so, so don't expect that soon. TUF comes without WiFi too in theory, but haven't seen any stores list it yet. No idea about Prime.
15:25 Would be nice to hear about your guys experience with these new AM5 motherboards from Asus.
Specially as you mention that you girls/guys use these for in-house benchmarks and testing for results.
I think some of the gamers would be eager to know some "Tricks & Tips" for these new motherboards.
Hope we get more in-depth motherboards video's from you girls/guys. 👌
It's like Christmas, motherboards everywhere!
Hey Nada. Did you ever run into any coil whine with these boards or any other of the X670E line? I've just heard a lot online about coil whine specifically from some mid-high end of the Asus motherboards. But maybe it's just bad luck? Just seem to have quite a lot complaining about it for this generation.
Another factor to consider is the warranty. Asus TUF boards have a 5 year warranty, TUF Gaming is 3 years and all others are 1 year.
Love that, thank you from Manchester, England. 😘
Best model ? Crosshair x670e Extreme ?
Having used my X570-I from Asus for several AMD CPUs, up to the 5950X and having the long lifecycle, bios updates etc. I would consider not buying the very cheapest X670 boards. My reasoning for this is that the long lifecycle means that you might very well replace/upgrade the CPU even if you build a budget PC.
Amazing review. Can you also do one for its Intel 13th gen motherboard counterpart?
Also, can you review other brands ?
Coming after a year - glad everything has become much cheaper and prices are established. Certainly I understand the price increase over AM4 since LGA socket, pcie5, ddr5 and TSMC price increase are playing their roles in that.
Which one is best ...x670 E-A or E-F ?
Great video as always😎
Thank you!
Amazing Review 🥰 Great work 🧡 Thank you ☺
Really enjoyed this review. Learned that the X670E Strix E is the absolute I must go. And even the TUF one is a good choice this gen. Any idea if you are planning to do a similar video with the MSI motherboards?
Thanks! And Id like to but MSI isnt sampling many AMD products and I have no reason to buy any atm.
@@TechTesters Thanks for the reply! What's your experience with MSI and Gigabyte BIOS-es. Are they as good as ASUS or fall behind?
7:12 HOLY FRICK THE FORSHADOWING.
Does it make sense to choose a x670 over a B650 considering upgradability in the future?
I really have a tough time choosing a motherboard for my first pc build, oter specs I chose:
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
Intel Arc A770 Graphics 16 GB GDDR6
Cooler Master MWE Gold 750 Full Modular V2 PSU
Kingston DDR5 FURY Beast 2x32GB 5600
DeepCool CC560 WH Midi Tower
DeepCool AK620 White
Samsung 980 PRO 1TB M.2 SSD
Using it for Game dev in particular, noticed with my current pc that I tend to run out of Vram and memory, so that's why I chose the a770 with the 16gb of vram for a reasonable price and I need a motherboard with 128gb of memory capability for future expansion
the only board that is really missing: Asus ROG Strix X670E-F GAMING WIFI.. That one has enough features over the X670E-E gaming wifi. And less expensive. TUF is Okayisch, PRIME got the wrong color sceme. Was nice if there was a black version also.
I'm currently using "ROG Strix X570-E Gaming" with "Ryzen 7 5800X". If I were to buy now it would be "ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming" with "Ryzen 7 7700X". I certainly don't think I need to upgrade to a new generation. I wouldn't feel a significant difference. In any case. I recommend "ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming", because he is the successor of my current "ROG Strix X570-E Gaming" which is perfection.
If you're on a 5000-series I'd probably wait a bi llonger too ;)
Very nice review :)
good video with a nice look on the asus lineup. was good to watch. the only thing is... I didn´t know the Netherlands are in the US. Where are the Euro Prices?
I didnt have any at the time of filming, sorry.
I just got the tuf gaming one, I'm excited because I'm switching from Intel to amd
I have a question, as I am very confused by those Asus boards. For those boards with the Intel JHL8540 USB4, if I read all over the internet, the USB can also be used as a Thunderbolt, as they say it's work on the same protocol. . On the manual from Asus for the BIOS settings, there is a section mention the settings for the Thunderbolt. In de board manual however they don't speak about the Thunderbolt. So I emailed Asus about this and there they say if it's not mentioned in the manual there is no Thunderbolt, but it's hard to believe, that on the extreme, for the price, they have disabled the Thunderbolt and for the cheaper boards they have enabled.
Can you tell me if you have tested the extreme and checked the BIOS if there's the Thundebolt section mentioned?
I haven’t seen the extreme, sorry.
amazing review ❤
Thank you 🤗
OMG those are a lot of motherboards you have there motherboard merchant 😉
I've been saving up for months. I want my shit to look gorgeous. I'm going Asus.
Does vrm matters? I having a tuf x670e as it was cheap, dont really oc, but i play cod most exclusively. Was hoping i took the right choice 😅
Ngl that B-roll is 🔥
Can you also say how much sata ports there are ?
What is the best board, ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Hero and ProArt X670E-CREATOR to work on the 3d max vray program, the processor used is the ryzen 7950x?
6:54 Not only now that you have to throw a lot of money for this new stuff, it turns out also you have to spill your blood for it :D
It's just basic PC building rituals 😁
I disagree for X670E-E-Gaming mobo. I don't think most people will go for $500 mobo tbh
Yeah. It’s a lot. But It was more meant feature wise. I do go into it a bit more in the conclusion.
Hmm, think the lineup is wrong? -> Prime (Standard components) -> TUF (military grade components) -> ROG (Above military grade components).
Prime is for budget user
TUF for mainstream
ROG for heavy gamer
ProArt for creators
@@boboboy8189 Extreme for Extreme people who have no use for money.
Any issues noticeable with the new boards and the chips
Great video! Question: which is better, the asus prime x670-p pro wifi or the aorus x670 elite ax ? thanks
I honestly don't remember off the top of my head. Both can handle any CPU, just make sure you get the connections you need imho.
Really appreciate how deeply you provide us the review. 👍
Hey, what would you recommend the GENE mATX or the Hero?
No way I am buying any of these boards at £340 minimum, unfortunately. They will have to be half of that price for me to even consider it, and preferably less than that even.
Hopefully B650/B650E soon ;)
@@TechTesters Yes, B series is what I need for my build 👍
New video hype 🎉
The Crosshair Makes the most sense from a features viewpoint, but it should be $250 dollars cheaper. These prices are ridiculous!!!!
Will the ASUS Rog Strix x670E-E be compatible with the x3D CPU chipsets when they release?
These motherboards are really nice i have the asus rog strix E-E and its great.
Finally a m-ATX board
The gods are not cruel to me this year
I couldn't give a flying fornication about how they look. Only on how they perform, the features they provide and the price.
So ive noticed the board ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI 6E Socket AM5 is back ordered but main thing i was curious about is does the first Gen releases of these kinda boards ever restock or is it a one time drop kinda thing on release and then they are never restocked since the hype of the chip release dies down and they wont sell as many as time goes on?
