FINALLY something fresh! Thank you, ASRock. I really like the design of this board. If I were in the market for an AM5 motherboard, I'd probably pick this up.
Seriously considering this. The looks just makes me think this would be cool in like a fitting case... I'm thinking fractal pop air orange version. Some black ram with rgb, set it to orange. Same with any other rgb. Would looks pretty sweet.
Hmm... This mobo might just pair well with the Hyte Y60 Hakos Baelz edition. The splattered paint aesthetic certainty feels like it'd be a good match for the Chaos Rat.
I really like that asrock decided to try something new. No idea if the "live mixer" aspect appeals to many people, but at least the color scheme is very cool. The choice for a realtek ALC897 audio chip is something i find very bizarre for this motherboard. The ALC12xx series should be noticeably better. I guess real professionals already have an external dac and amp, but it would be nice to have good onboard audio in a pinch. By the way: this motherboard only has 2 sata ports. That is the smallest number of sata ports I've ever seen on a motherboard that wasn't some prebuilt proprietary garbage.
2 SATA ports doesn't seem like a lot to anyone. But, you say, there ARE 3 m.2 connections. I know that my rig now doesn't even have m.2 drives yet, and I'm using 2/4 of my SATA ports already. If I had this board, I'd be limited to either m.2 drives, externals, or adding a SATA expansion card to the second or third PCIE slot if I ran out of space suddenly. And once I'm using all three m.2 slots, the third PCIE slot gets disabled. So I'd have to decide whether to remove the sound card this board needs to bother with content creation, or give up on the SATA card and start buying external drives in bulk (and probably some stock shares in Seagate - NASDAQ: STX). Not the best decision to have to make. This board would be better served with 4 SATA ports.
It's geared toward streamers and content creators. A pair of 8tb+ mechanical drives on the SATA ports and fast NVMe storage in 2 out of the 3 M.2 slots and most streamers will be smiling. Added SATA ports would make more sense in a more general consumer targeted board but for the target audience, they seem to have done their homework. Less shared resources, only the ports you need vs resource conflicts and more ports. Adding an additional SATA controller to the board would add cost that would end up coming out of the consumers pocket. I am sure they will have other boards better suited to anyone needing loads of SATA storage anyway. I actually want to see more options like this, niche boards with interesting aesthetics and feature sets.
@@Xaltar_ But an extra SATA controller would have cost a dollar or two at most. Are you the same kind of person that thinks Apple is very courageous for removing ports?
Yes, that is correct. I'm an audio professional and I really don't care about on-board audio. We have our dedicated audio converters. So this was actually a good choice of ASRock.
Someone posted this anonymously ont he NewEgg sales page: Tons of multi-TT USB controllers, and Thunderbolt 4 support if you want to add it Pros: Several high quality USB controllers built into the board. Two GL852 and one ASM1074. The downside is that two of the controllers(one GL852 and ASM1074) which control eight USB ports in total are routed to the front panel headers. My computer's case doesn't have 8 front panel USB ports so I had to buy little adapters to convert the front panel headers and actually use the ports coming from these controllers. Both the GL852 and ASM1074 have multi-TT, or multiple transaction translators. So for USB 2.0 devices you get a dedicated transaction translator for every single device- even if they are all connected to the same USB controller. Multi-TT is very important for devices that use the USB 2.0 protocol. This completely solves the problem of needing to buy PCIe USB expanders for USB devices that experience conflict, latency, noise, and disconnect on single transaction translator controllers. Single-TT controllers are cheap to make and widespread, so it is impressive that Asrock used Multi-TT controllers for all three USB controllers. The engineers at Asrock are smart. This is the perfect motherboard for Virtual Reality setups that have full body tracking or multiple VR accessories. This is the perfect motherboard for musicians and professionals with multiple audio devices of different varieties. This is the perfect motherboard for all people who have modern setups with several USB devices of mixed 2.0 and 3.0 protocols. It is perfect for streamers as well since they tend to be a mix of all of these things. Refer to the motherboard manual to see the block diagram and how the ports are wired to find the multi-TT USB ports. Cons: The downside is that most of the rear USB ports come directly from the B650 chipset instead of the nice USB controllers Asrock put on the board. Eight of the USB ports from the GL852 and ASM1074 are going to front panel headers for the computer case; you need adapters to convert the front panel headers to usable USB ports. I can't find any datasheet outlining if AMD chipset USB ports are single-TT or multi-TT. To this day there are endless reports of USB from AMD chipsets being unreliable and disconnecting randomly if you google it. "AMD chipset USB problems". AMD tried to work around it via BIOS updates with mixed results. I would guess the entire AMD chipset is single-TT; it uses just one transaction translator for absolutely everything. This is very cheap and cost-effective but doesn't work at all in the real world. With single-TT one USB 2.0 device can hog its entire 2.0 worth of bandwidth and all other devices on USB ports coming from the same controller/chipset will disconnect or stutter and then reconnect "randomly". You can try to disallow any one device from hogging the bandwidth with BIOS/firmware workarounds like AMD did but then that workaround brings its own slowdown and issues. The focus of the entire computer industry is on USB 3.0 and above these days but almost all real-world devices connect on USB 2.0 protocol. Mouse, Keyboard, DAC, Audio Interface, Wireless Headsets, Printers, Bluetooth, Game Controllers, VR Trackers, VR Controllers, Webcams, USB Speakers, USB Storage, USB Mics, and more. USB 2.0 requires multiple transaction translators to function correctly if there is more than one device per controller. With companies being cheapskates and chaining 5+ USB ports to one controller/chipset- a controller which is then also cheaply made to be single-TT- you can imagine why USB is reported as completely unreliable in some computers. Asrock is the only one I could find including so many multi-TT USB controllers built right into the motherboard. But you have to dig into the motherboard manual to find the block diagram and then struggle to find the multi-TT ports. Practically all the rear ports on this motherboard come from the AMD chipset which is extremely unreliable for USB and flat out doesn't work for VR full body trackers and mixed audio; or basically anything that uses USB 2.0 protocol. The shape of connector (C, Type A, etc) does not matter, most USB devices are still only using USB 2.0. Overall Review: Asrock, if you are reading this: make the next version of Livemixer have the unreliable direct-from-chipset USB ports go to the front panel headers. USB ports from the multi-TT USB controllers should all be going to the rear ports. The current configuration of these Livemixer motherboards sends EIGHT multi-TT USB controller ports to the front panel connectors. Nobody has a computer case with 8 front panel USB ports. These high-quality $50 USB controllers you added to the motherboard are doing nothing in most people's computers. Nobody knows about transaction translators, nobody has 8 front panel USB ports on their computer case, nobody is spending $$ on front panel header adapters, nobody is getting the full benefit of this motherboard. Livemixer is a great idea that is helpful for all streamers, VR enthusiasts, audio enthusiasts, professionals, and people with tons of mixed USB. It is an amazing value and the concept behind it is very smart. Keep using multi-TT USB controllers in the next iteration of Livemixer, but route the ports better please. I am a fan regardless. I am very thankful for whoever writes the motherboard manuals; they included the exact layouts and names of the controllers used. Having controller names(e.g. Genesys Logic 852) is the only reason I was able to look up datasheets and check whether they are single-TT or multi-TT. Big thumbs up to everyone at Asrock! Just please route the multi-TT USB ports more thoughtfully on the next iteration of this board.
I love vivid orange-y colors that are in your face, this board was made for me. Pair this with the Fractal Design Pop Air Orange and you're good to go.
Looks sick! Hoping more unique boards continue to come out in the future for both intel and amd. Love to paint my PC cases and this would make a crazy cool build/paint scheme. Stands out great!
I applaud ASRock for trying something different. The color and style are not for me personally, but I could see myself buying something in a similar style if i was doing a build for my teenage kids. Hopefully someone (ASRock or partner) double down on style and offer matching sticker packs or vinyl wraps for pc cases. It would make for a really cool custom build.
Literally the dopest looking motherboard that I have ever seen! New, and fresh for unique builds. Something I've been waiting for, and wish bored partners would have done so much sooner. I'm hoping Asus, and Gigabyte make something bold, and eccentric as well 😁
I love this, takes me back to the days when DFI LanParty boards were all the rage (and still good quality). A bit of personality, features to a purpose and solid build quality, wins across the board, pun intended.
Hope this takes off and they do it again on future generations of AMD, but on mATX and whichever X-chipset platform will be the first to only need a single chipset. I really want a reason to go ham on a white case with some paint.
I got this in a deal for 199€ today. Its about 15€ cheaper than the next cheapest B650 over here right now. At the same time it has about double the VRM (better quality too) and tons more features than the other B650 boards in this price bracket. Its a no brainer tbh and i will never see it anyways because i have a closed and dampened case.
Pretty cool to see Asrock being bold with these new LiveMixer series, as well Sonic...PC's don't have to be boring and Asrock designed a great board once again.
I have the B650E Riptide Wifi, the Slightly Bigger Brother to the Live Mixer..... Paired it with a 7800X3D/32Gb DDR5 6000/7800XT Setup.... Live Mixer has more USB's, but gets slightly Higher RAN Tuning to 7600 instead of 7200.... I got the Whole Lot Bundled minus the GPU from Newegg over the Black Friday Deals.... That was COU/RAM/Motherboard.... 7800XT I already had from my 5800X3D Build....
I'm saying this many times everywhere and now that you uploaded this, I will say this again: No one can convince me that this is not a failed attempt of Asrock getting Nintendo license for Splatoon. THIS is Splatoon motherboard, Nintendo just doesn't want Asrock to go that route
I love it ! I LIKE unique stuff and if I wasn't planing stuff around a white themed build, I would of got this. ASROCK also did something new with their new X670E Carrera which is mobo I getting for my Zen 4 upgrade. Hopefully u get to check that out too Brian! That mobo is sexy AF and so far has been getting great reviews!
I can't tell what color it is... red gradient blending into yellow to make orange int he middle, or straight out orange only? I'd prefer solid annodized orange alluminum color over paint
AsRock has been my favorite brand for a while now, mainly just because I havent had any bad luck with their products, but they also seem to support EOL motherboards with last-minute BIOS updates for added features. Not even ASUS does this, ASUS abandons their product support within a year. This one seems like a decent product. At least they change it up...
The price is really the only issue with this board. That's a lot of money for a non-PCIe 5 board with an old audio chip, only 2 SATA ports and no WiFi. You do get a perfectly usable board even for the 7950x and fresh design, down to the BIOS skin, and a ton of USB ports (they could have included the 2nd USB-C, though). By the way, that paintjob or whatever they have on those heatsinks, as well as the colorful details on the PCB itself also cost money and contribute to the high price. I remember Steve from Gamers Nexus mentioning in some video that custom PCB paintjobs are actually not cheap, especially if it's for low volume products...
PCIe 5, expensive on-board audio chips, WiFi are actually completely useless in an audio studio setiing. A few more SATA ports would've been nice, but, not the end of the world. Two PCIe from the CPU, now that IS important.
Great looking mobo The only issue is that's an ASRock mobo. If u love RGB u know you stay away from ASRock other than that they are Great.but yeah RGB is life
it seems likes a b650 for the future. over kill for the first gen on the platform. Im excited for 7700x3d for vr performance hope its nice like the 5800x3d
This, 7950x and 6200MHz memory. I see it can deliver plenty of power and my 7900xtx and Samsung nvme I am reusing are pci express 4. Also my ek am4 waterblock fits am5 and amd recent price cut it it is looking appealing. Just one issue, the Intel is cheaper and a bit faster in gaming when paired with 7000MHz ram. Will I notice difference?
Wow this one looks cool too. I wanted to make a Sonic PC with their Sonic mainboard but it failed when I started looking for dark blue pc cases or graphics cards. This color splash thing might have more components available for it!
Cool looking board - don't like the PCIe layout though (but honestly, that's the only thing I don't like with just about all modern mobo's - and I'm talking about slot locations and lane availability of lanes in each slot).
Wish they would have prioritized a pcie 5.0 16x for the gpu over pcie 5.0 4x for nvme (gen 3 is enough 4 is already overkill for productivity and content creation). Otherwise it is a very strong candidate for a flashy white build i would like to do as a sibling for my black out no rgb build.
Bryan, maybe you could do a video on PCIe-cards with SATA and M.2 connectors, to solve the problem if you have more SSD's than connections. 4 SATA-ports is not a lot, many people have 4 or more SSD's (building it up since they bought a 128/256 GB SSD), on older motherboards you only have 2 M.2-ports.
I feel like it was expected for this generation of AMD boards to be more pricey simply because LGA boards usually are. I don't like how they've only committed to essentially 2 and a half years with the socket, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Here's hoping they get cheaper in the long run.
@n n Okay, there's 7, and that's assuming you're going to leave everything plugged in to its own USB port at all times. I don't think that's how people typically use their devices, is it? I just bought an X670E board and the guy at Microcenter was acting like the 11 type A ports on the back were barely adequate. I don't think I've ever had more than about 4 devices plugged into USB at one time, and I'm kind of reaching there.
For the price and the “Live Mixer” naming I’d be expecting a quality audio chip = 1220-VB minimum (or it’s rebranded name …. 4080 audio on AM5), a high quality AMP for high end headphones 🎧and power to drive a quality mic 🎤. I know voltages vary …. But a 5volt (minimum) usb would be standard these days 🧐? I feel this board is more gimmick than a “Live Mixer” audio solution motherboard. Sorry AsRock, you failed again.
For me...the reason lm no longer upgrading all t he time is the gpu prices. Its put me off upgrading tbh...650 pounds wad a lot for a 2080 ...800 was a he'll of alot for a 3080 ...4080 1000 to 1200 pounds.. Yeah lm done. This means lve not bought a gpu..lve not bought new cpu..mb..memory..etc. the gpu prices will cripple pc market. Also nvidigreedia pri es stupidly high on top of no longer supporting previous gpus..ie dls 3 ..won't work on older gpus..anyway these gpu prices will cripple pc market imo. 1000 pounds for just the gpu lol....no chance.
Essa cor laranja ficou muito feio, poderia ter verde ou azul talvez.. A versão roxo da Intel é muito mais bonito, o problema é que meu cpu é o ryzen 7 7700x
Brings me back to when boards werent all black with LEDs but each company kinda had their own accent coloured metal or other pieces on their boards
remember when every gigabyte mb was a tealish-blue and every Asus mb was brown
Oh yeah, I miss the bright colors manufacturers use on the PCI and Ram slots. DFI, Abit, Jetway, damn missed them so much.
ASRock z170 lineup (at least from the pro4 to top tier models) are still some of the prettiest board in my opinion
@@pyroromancer pensioners media.tenor.com/k0HlwNZW9ZsAAAAM/kindergarden-congratulations.gif
DFI LanParty anyone?!
Such a refreshing sight to see these kinds of designs for Motherboards.
FINALLY something fresh! Thank you, ASRock. I really like the design of this board. If I were in the market for an AM5 motherboard, I'd probably pick this up.
Seriously considering this.
The looks just makes me think this would be cool in like a fitting case... I'm thinking fractal pop air orange version. Some black ram with rgb, set it to orange.
Same with any other rgb. Would looks pretty sweet.
Would be cool to see a theme build around this motherboard.
i know just the perfect gpu!! look up the demon slayer gpu, the charecter they themed it after would go well with this mobo
Hmm... This mobo might just pair well with the Hyte Y60 Hakos Baelz edition. The splattered paint aesthetic certainty feels like it'd be a good match for the Chaos Rat.
@@TheWipal too bad that its the price of a 3060 ti :(
I really like that asrock decided to try something new. No idea if the "live mixer" aspect appeals to many people, but at least the color scheme is very cool.
The choice for a realtek ALC897 audio chip is something i find very bizarre for this motherboard. The ALC12xx series should be noticeably better. I guess real professionals already have an external dac and amp, but it would be nice to have good onboard audio in a pinch.
By the way: this motherboard only has 2 sata ports. That is the smallest number of sata ports I've ever seen on a motherboard that wasn't some prebuilt proprietary garbage.
they just like to safe every penny. i dont get it either though. that is so anti consumer. i mean, this board is over 200 bucks.
2 SATA ports doesn't seem like a lot to anyone. But, you say, there ARE 3 m.2 connections. I know that my rig now doesn't even have m.2 drives yet, and I'm using 2/4 of my SATA ports already.

And once I'm using all three m.2 slots, the third PCIE slot gets disabled. So I'd have to decide whether to remove the sound card this board needs to bother with content creation, or give up on the SATA card and start buying external drives in bulk (and probably some stock shares in Seagate - NASDAQ: STX). Not the best decision to have to make. This board would be better served with 4 SATA ports.
It's geared toward streamers and content creators. A pair of 8tb+ mechanical drives on the SATA ports and fast NVMe storage in 2 out of the 3 M.2 slots and most streamers will be smiling. Added SATA ports would make more sense in a more general consumer targeted board but for the target audience, they seem to have done their homework. Less shared resources, only the ports you need vs resource conflicts and more ports. Adding an additional SATA controller to the board would add cost that would end up coming out of the consumers pocket. I am sure they will have other boards better suited to anyone needing loads of SATA storage anyway. I actually want to see more options like this, niche boards with interesting aesthetics and feature sets.
@@Xaltar_ But an extra SATA controller would have cost a dollar or two at most. Are you the same kind of person that thinks Apple is very courageous for removing ports?
Yes, that is correct. I'm an audio professional and I really don't care about on-board audio. We have our dedicated audio converters.
So this was actually a good choice of ASRock.
Asrock making a splash in the pc world. Reminds me of DFI Lanparty motherboards. Looks great.
One of the best looking boards I’ve ever seen! Great job Asrock!

thats an awesome design, kudos to ASRock for bringing something new and different to the market.
I think it looks pretty cool! They also have a z790 in blue, so its team red Vs team Blue
Finally found someone who emphasis on vrm temp and performance

Colours are back. Thank God!
Looks nice. That would be a motivation to buy new case with window.
Such a nice color theme
Upgrading from the asrock X570M PRO4 AM4 to this, can't wait to see how much better it is. Still haven't decided on a cpu yet probably the 7600.
Hope this takes off and they do it again on future generations of AMD, but on mATX and whichever X-chipset platform will be the first to only need a single chipset. I really want a reason to go ham on a white case with some paint.
Happy Birthday :)
This is a beautiful board. Designs like this should be the standard!
All so you can cover it with your side panel screen .. djeez, the ASrock design team is seriously on the drink.
Gonna be honest, that's probably the best silkscreening I've ever seen on a PCB.
A fast recovery for u and dont forget, dont drink anything cold. I always take warm water to drink in your situation :)
My man permanently damaged his cpu (probably) to test the VRM's on this motherboard. Now that's a reviewer.
I got this in a deal for 199€ today. Its about 15€ cheaper than the next cheapest B650 over here right now. At the same time it has about double the VRM (better quality too) and tons more features than the other B650 boards in this price bracket.

Great show. Nice board.Thanks.

Would you think the IIntel Z790 live mixer board be any good for gaming with a i9 processor13900k?
this would fit perfectly inside an Orange Fractal Design Pop Air case

A few more SATA ports would've been nice, but, not the end of the world. Two PCIe from the CPU, now that IS important.
Looks great for emulating Splatoon!
I have to hide this vid from my daughter till i can find one of these boards, spatoon was her thang
thats a nice motherboard amma buy one of this in 2 years
@techyescity what m.2 wifi would you recommend with this ?
I want one, but in the Noctua chocolate color theme XD
Like the look.
Great looking mobo
The only issue is that's an ASRock mobo.
If u love RGB u know you stay away from ASRock other than that they are Great.but yeah RGB is life
it seems likes a b650 for the future. over kill for the first gen on the platform. Im excited for 7700x3d for vr performance hope its nice like the 5800x3d
Would you please compare b650 MSI mortar please 🥺
7:17 So what's the story with that bare pcb usb flash drive? (Love the motherboard theme!)
Does that mean we are going to get cheap A620 boards? I remember Lisa Su saying B650 from $125US
This, 7950x and 6200MHz memory. I see it can deliver plenty of power and my 7900xtx and Samsung nvme I am reusing are pci express 4. Also my ek am4 waterblock fits am5 and amd recent price cut it it is looking appealing. Just one issue, the Intel is cheaper and a bit faster in gaming when paired with 7000MHz ram. Will I notice difference?
👍👍
Wow this one looks cool too. I wanted to make a Sonic PC with their Sonic mainboard but it failed when I started looking for dark blue pc cases or graphics cards. This color splash thing might have more components available for it!
Cool looking board - don't like the PCIe layout though (but honestly, that's the only thing I don't like with just about all modern mobo's - and I'm talking about slot locations and lane availability of lanes in each slot).
Wish they would have prioritized a pcie 5.0 16x for the gpu over pcie 5.0 4x for nvme (gen 3 is enough 4 is already overkill for productivity and content creation). Otherwise it is a very strong candidate for a flashy white build i would like to do as a sibling for my black out no rgb build.
i love it
Got it at 200 does that make it a good deal. I mostly got it for the ton of usb ports
nice
What about Asrock B650 PG Riptide 170.00 USD, not a bad board, but low connectivity.
i need all those usb ports!
Bryan, maybe you could do a video on PCIe-cards with SATA and M.2 connectors, to solve the problem if you have more SSD's than connections. 4 SATA-ports is not a lot, many people have 4 or more SSD's (building it up since they bought a 128/256 GB SSD), on older motherboards you only have 2 M.2-ports.
I am not against it but I prefered the black/white look which ASRock used for AM4.
Finally we can make a build with some balls.
No DPC Latency testing?
can you review maxsun icraft mothetboards?
I feel like it was expected for this generation of AMD boards to be more pricey simply because LGA boards usually are. I don't like how they've only committed to essentially 2 and a half years with the socket, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Here's hoping they get cheaper in the long run.
I miss they days when you could get a mobo that was purple, blue, white, ect. ect.
I need Tech Yes City board with baked beans painted on the Board.
What the hell are people using all these USB ports for?
@n n Okay, there's 7, and that's assuming you're going to leave everything plugged in to its own USB port at all times. I don't think that's how people typically use their devices, is it? I just bought an X670E board and the guy at Microcenter was acting like the 11 type A ports on the back were barely adequate. I don't think I've ever had more than about 4 devices plugged into USB at one time, and I'm kind of reaching there.
Have you seen the sonic board they released is well? Looks amazing :)
You forget to say there is WIFI prepared on that board. You can plug in cables and the wifi cards if you want to for a small price
They should also release a case with this
The joy of paint splatter is that you could do it yourself if you wanted to.
all 650 boards seem to have only 1 m2 slot and 2 pci slots on the cheap;er
Splat me good.
looks cool with a lot of energy in it. but due to my not so youth age i probably go for regular black/gray and white theme. suits my tired lazy ass.
Please R/V b650 mortar and b650 aorus elite ax
ASRock probably took their motherboard out paintballing and then instead of cleaning it, just decided to sell it instead.
Can you get it without all that crap all over it?
For the price and the “Live Mixer” naming I’d be expecting a quality audio chip = 1220-VB minimum (or it’s rebranded name …. 4080 audio on AM5), a high quality AMP for high end headphones 🎧and power to drive a quality mic 🎤. I know voltages vary …. But a 5volt (minimum) usb would be standard these days 🧐? I feel this board is more gimmick than a “Live Mixer” audio solution motherboard. Sorry AsRock, you failed again.
We definitely need more pc components with actual color instead of just RGB schmuck!
b650 = x670
b650e = x670e
x670 = x670ee
x670 = x670eee
considering that B650 has more chipset features and bandwidth than x570, I actually agree
actually not...i`ve seen lots of shows of 4 RAM sticks working perfect, but you have to buy them as a kit of 4, they have to be selected before
Just 2 SATA ports is a deal breaker especially on a motherboard "for creators". WTF AsRock?
For me...the reason lm no longer upgrading all t he time is the gpu prices. Its put me off upgrading tbh...650 pounds wad a lot for a 2080 ...800 was a he'll of alot for a 3080 ...4080 1000 to 1200 pounds..
Yeah lm done. This means lve not bought a gpu..lve not bought new cpu..mb..memory..etc. the gpu prices will cripple pc market. Also nvidigreedia pri es stupidly high on top of no longer supporting previous gpus..ie dls 3 ..won't work on older gpus..anyway these gpu prices will cripple pc market imo. 1000 pounds for just the gpu lol....no chance.
I like the color but the White Logo reminds me of Taco Bell sauce.
Don’t believe amd is stable beyond 6200. It just can’t go that fast. Maybe a few samples can but guess 99% don’t.
Essa cor laranja ficou muito feio, poderia ter verde ou azul talvez..
A versão roxo da Intel é muito mais bonito, o problema é que meu cpu é o ryzen 7 7700x
