Got the B650E-E without doing any research as it was the cheapest available board with a LED segment display, glad I made a good decision
Buildzoid installed a 7950x on an air cooler and did a slight oc. He then used a aio and pushed the 7950x slightly more, this is one of the best boards of the b tier chipset, it has insane features for the price. As long as u use one gen 5 nvme on this board and don't install the second gen 5 nvme drive, and fill all the gen 4 nvme slots and every usb port, and every type c port the top pcie slot will run at x16 gen 5 and so will the second one. It will only drop to gen 5 x8 if u occupy both gen 5 nvme drives.
I haven't dug in and looked, but I'd guess that is one of, if not the only "b series" with enough lanes to do that. And honestly, whose going to be using 2 Gen 5 nvme anyway? I've advocated in a lot of videos, even when they become common, it's still a waste. I mean, you can get the new Aorus for the low low price of $350 for 2TB. Or, just get a Gen 4 drive, for less than half. I work with massive video files & doubt I would notice a real world difference between 7k Mb/s & 10k. I appreciate you taking the time to post all that. It will definitely help someone out. Thanks again for contributing to the discussion!
@@FPP_Tech it's cool np bud
Are you sure? I thought that the second port works at x8 mode and the first port drops from x16 to x8 in case when m2 port is occupied
Went with the B650E-E because it is basically future proof. As much as you can be at least. The massive power delivery means that even if future generations of AM5 are power hungry, it will still have the power to be able to run and overclock those chips. Gen 5 on storage and for the GPU means that future generations of GPUs can plug in and run at those speeds. The only thing holding it back would be RAM. But testing has shown that being limited to 6400mts is not a big deal since latency seems to have a much greater effect on performance than overall speeds. So in the future, sure Intel may eventually be running 8000 CL 32, but taking that and clocking it down to 6000 CL 24 will likely perform just as good and could potentially be even faster if you are able to tighten it down to 22.
I plan on using this board for my 7950x until we get to whatever the last generation of CPU for AM5 is and upgrading at that point. That should be good for many years to come.
Agreed. I use the x670E-A in my main rig, but that's because I went with a white build. We put the b650e-e in our test bench so I can run a OC'd 7950x in it. To your point on ram, I just switched from g.skill trident 6000 cl36 to the same kit in cl30 and saw a small, but noticeable performance gain (It's also SK Hynix in the cl30, I believe). I had the same long term thoughts as you. Get a board that can handle the top chip 2 generations in the future so I can stretch the life of the build replacing as little as possible. If you are using a 7950x, I did a quick tuning video a few weeks back on it if you want to check it out. Thanks for watching! ua-cam.com/video/WBsyWhGQmjY/v-deo.html
This board is marvelous had one tuf x670e and is 🫤 and change for this b650e-e is the best change I made, this mb is a monster.
@@evilcarlonis9015what is better with it than the tuf?
@MonkeyMannMacho I have no issues with coil whine. Typically that is a GPU issue. I have never heard of that happening on a motherboard
@@gscurd75 My Z390 Aorus Master has a little bit coilwhine, fantastic Mobo don't get me wrong, but if you have a water cooled system and live in a silent environment you can can hear the coil whine, nothing major but still.
Whoa this really helped me a lot ordering my motherboard just cause of this review.
Thanks for watching. Good luck with your build!
Hi I'm planning to build a new PC with the following components:
Asus rog strix b650e-e & Ryzen 7800x3d
But I read that there are problems with the CPU (strong heat generation) is the problem solved? What do you think of the combination of MB and CPU
The issue is related to SOC voltage is mostly resolved as of the latest bios version. Unfortunately, there are still a couple of bugs in the newest update that may prevent you from enabling expo memory timings (it's hit or miss), however those are anticipated to be fixed by the end of the week. Also, it was much more prevalent in x670e boards, the B650 series seemed to do much better.
I think you're fine to build. Just make sure you update BIOS, & chipset drivers.
Just managed to order one of these for the equivalent of $205 in my country yesterday. A day before it was $380 lol. Don't know if that was a mistake from the retailer but so far they haven't cancelled it. I'll take it.
Wow, that's a deal. It's still $350USD here. Good luck with your build. Thanks for watching!
Where are you from? lol I want that deal xD
@@kornlov3r95 I'm from Switzerland. It was only at that price for 3 days, now they changed it back to ~$350. I actually wasn't even considering this board, I was looking at less expensive options, and saw this by chance. I don't think I have ever ordered something so fast, I got lucky.
I half expected them to cancel the order because I was sure it was a mistake on their end, but I can go pick it up tomorrow.
Update: they just cancelled the order, just like I feared. "Not available anymore".
Wow that's terrible. I'm sure it was a mistake like you said, but you'd still think they'd honor it after it was ordered.
Hi mate. Ive been thinking of a new top tier pc with good future upgradability.. the idea is to have a 7800x3d, 7900xtx and 32gb of ddr5 6000 CL30 ram. The PSU ive seen the pure power 12m 1000w as its pcie5/atx3.0 compatible, and then put it all with the strix b650e e board for the two pcie5 slots, am5 platform etc.
Do you think that motherboard is a good choice? I feel like it would handle all of those components now, as well as the last tier of AM5 cpu and the gpus that are out at that time whether theyre pcie5 or not. But there are so many more expensive x670e boards that i worry im missing a flaw with the 650E E
Yes. I think it'd be a great fit. The biggest question mark would be Ryzen 9000 / 10000 (whatever ends up being the last generation on am5). However, the power delivery on this board is great. I don't see anything needing more than what it can give. It's a really solid board at a mid tier price point.
Side note: we're currently working on a "Does Motherboard even matter" video. We stressed tested a bunch of AM5 Boards with a 7950x with identical setups. The B650e-e was right there with x670e boards in vrm temps, benchmarks, and stability.
@@FPP_Tech I look forward to watching that! And yeah I can't imagine that it'll be an issue. Hopefully not. Particularly with CPU's amd seem to always be pretty good with wattage and efficiency. I'd imagine itll be fine on 9000/10000 just maybe without overclocks
Side note you seem like a top guy!
Thanks, & thanks for watching!
Is the ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-E a suitable board for 4k gaming? I plan on pairing it with a 7800X3D and a RTX 4090.
Definitely. It's the top B650 Board in Asus's lineup. We use it in our test bench with a 7950x regularly. You could even get away with something less expensive, but it's my pick for best all around value.
Great overview. Can't wait for further testing
Thanks for watching. I'm using this board as the base for our main test bench, so we'll be seeing a lot of it coming up!
yea this mobo is a beast!
i have a question if i have two options and i don't know wich is better for a 7800x3d processor this the b650ee or the rog strix white x670 ea and i reali dont know wich one is better can u help me pls
Not only did we look at those during reviewing, but I actually use both those boards in 2 different builds around the house & office every day.
There is no difference in performance or stability I've run into (not since the bios updates over the summer). I'd go with whichever one you like better and/or is cheaper.
Edit-- Forgot to mention, the B650e-e also has a debug code led while the x670e-a only has the colored indicators.
I am wanting to buy the 7800x3d and was looking to get a white motherboard for it. Not really wanting to spend the $420 for the ASUS x670e-a. I've seen so many mixed reviews on the ASUS b650-a so I am wondering what you would reccomend. Thanks!
We didn't have any issues when testing the B650-a. It was a decent budget option. We also just got in Gigabyte's B650 Aorus Elite Ice (linked below). We'll be putting it through it's paces & should have a video out soon.
amzn.to/48hCCED
I really like the B650 Aorus Elite Ice, I'd love to know if you think that is an overall better board to go with than the B650-a
@@Tyhentges We'll have it posted hopefully in the next week.
I have once witam 7950x 64 GB RAM kingston furry 6000mzh 4 mnv pc4 2 tera workshop briliant i get 40k point in cinebench 32
Nice. 40k beats mine. I keep my 7950x dialed back to 169ppt though, with a negative CO to keep temps & power down. Still get mid 38k- 39k in r23, though. Thanks for watching!
@@FPP_Tech i have same negative curve 35 TDP limit 170 w
I have the 7900 non x version and get around 35k , here I was thinking wow but wait you guys are even better I think this board actually helps with pushing up all attached components
@@SamsunChronos 35k with a 7900 is pretty damn good. I'd be extremely happy with that.
Definitely a quality board, especially with a solid vrm, really helps. These chips love clean, stable, power.
Guys mainstream ThinkPad its iff you enjoy your amd cpu
And at the end wich one do you recommend for the fits time builders? Planning to put a 40 series card and a 7800x3d.
I think the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Pro AX is probably the best balance of price / Features. The ASUS B650e-e a little expensive, and overkill for a 7800X3D. Check out the MSI x670p pro also. amzn.to/3X8pehR
I'm testing it right now for a review video next week, and loving the overall build quality.
I am a system builder, mostly AMD and no matter what your first build is you buy what you can afford mate the most important purchase is the motherboard, asus has the best bios and firmware gigabyte has really struggled with AM5 no-idea why. Gaming only requires the 7600 or x versions AMD cards offer better value 6650xt, 6700xt or 6750xt will give you 22,000 -26k in passmark 11.0 thats good enough for any AAA Game on ultra settings right now this AM5 really helps these cards more than nvidia and still not sure why?
B650e literally £270. If that is B650 budged board, how much is mid range and not budget? Did not seen any B650 board for £1000 to call 300 board budget.
Thanks for watching. Keep in mind how old this video is. When AM5 launched, they rolled out the x670e boards first, then slow rolled out the B650's (620's hadn't launched yet). There were definitely cheaper boards, but options were much more limited. Now there's dozens of great mid budget choices.
(still love the B650e-e, but you're right. It can not be called budget now)
I bought this after returning the Asus b650, plus the UK retailer gave me an OEM board that could not be bios updated.
This board was purchased for the next CPU releases, I prefer 65w variants
because AM5 is great with these, so far, I have the 7900 that easily hits the negative 30 PBO Enhancement mode. Stock cooler is ace with both ASUS boards but the pre-applied heat sink is terribly got a healthy amount of cooler master gel V2 on, and it's great.
Also got the 6750XT Asus Dual, not a hard gamer so ample for me also got a Crucial T700 1 TB and boy its fast in this system, so performance with PBO enabled CPU-Z around 12800 passmark 11.0 56k plus so high they won't register the score.
6750XT used to score 21k on passmark with the very good Ryzen 4650G it now hits 27,000 -28.4k memory is 2x16gb 6000 MHz Kingston fury beast RGB ram total power when really hitting it hard no more than 400w, the B650 PLUS was great as well but for only 35% more this 650e-e was a no brainier its RGB is great too says this 61-year-old system builder!
It's a great board. I have it in my test bench, so I have put some work on it. It's smart buying for the next 2 or 3 releases for AM5. We'll have it for a while.
I've been unlucky so far. I have had 2 7950x's & couldn't get either stable passed -20 on curve. That's awesome you got a 7900 stable that low. Good luck on your future builds & thanks for watching!
im between this ashrock steel legends x670e and asus rog strix b650e-e. What do you think between theese two? which is better? i wanted to buy aorus b650e master but i hear a lot of problems on this mobo. Also msi x670mpg carbon wi fi i think is not worth the extra cost... What do you thing ?
I think the steel legend & B650e-e are a toss up, features wise. Very similar in Vrm, storage, & expansion. I like the ASUS BIOS better, but Right now, you can find the Asrock $50 cheaper on Amazon. That's the tie breaker for me. The B650e-e is great, but not $50 better. amzn.to/44wOi48
The MSI Carbon is a better board than both, but I don't think it's worth the extra cost. It's $110 more than the steel legend.
What speed is the bottom pci-e?
Is it x1 or x4?
That one is pci-e 4.0 right?
With the other two being 5.0? I want to make a little workstation.
The bottom slot runs through the chipset & runs at pcie 4 x4. Also, keep on mind the main pcie5x16 will run in x8 if you populate the 3rd m.2. Linked the support page below.
rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b650e-e-gaming-wifi-model/helpdesk_manual/
What if the NVME drive used is PCIE 4 will it still drop the speed of the main PCIE 5x16?@@FPP_Tech
@@deshawn4077 Yes. Keep in mind that even a 4090 will run fine in Pcie5 x8 though.
Thanks

Is there any reason to buy the ROG X670E or the ROG X670E Crosshair Hero? I am using pc mainly for 3D animation and rendering, gaming and video editing. I have a 7950X. I have the ROG B650E-E @@FPP_Tech
Which would you chose between b650e-e and b650e-f ? . B650e-e 40 dollars more expensive than b650 e-f in my country .
The E-E is definitely the better of the 2 boards, but it is overkill for most builds. The build quality is virtually the same, & the E adds extra pcie5 support, but in reality you're not going to see the benefit of that unless you plan on dropping boatloads of money on 2 Gen5 m.2's. The biggest difference is in the power. I'd say if you're going with a 7950x / 7900x, I lean towards the E-E. If you're using anything else, the E-F is the better value. Even if you do use a 7950x, you'll still be OK with the F. That being said, if the $40 isn't breaking your budget, nothing wrong with future proofing. Who knows how power hungry the 8000 or 9000 series chips will be.
@@FPP_Tech .Im gonna use 7600x for now but i would like to upgrade latest x3d processor of am5 platform in the future. So E-E is my choice . Thank you sir!
@@erdalguncel9038 Thanks for watching! It's a solid Motherboard, on par or better than a lot of x670e ones. Good luck with your build!
If one is gonna go for the 7800x3d will the e-f board work or do one need to drop additional 200$ on the e-e board? Gonna pair it with either a 7900gre or perhaps xtx or 4080 super. Haven't decided on the gpu yet. Playing in 1440p and not in 4k.
They may be budget friendly compared to AM5 in general but i definitely would not call these budget boards. They are firmly priced as high end offerings even though the hardware itself is mid range at best (which is still very good).
I agree with that, especially this Strix B650e-e. It's only "budget" compared to most x670e boards. Definitely on the high end of the B650's. Everything has just gotten so expensive now. At least it packs enough punch to hold up for 8000/9000 series, most likely. Thanks for watching!
@@FPP_Tech np, I'm looking at probably upgrading to the B650E-E and returning/RMA'ing my TUF B650 because I got the ol' yellow light of death where the PC refuses to boot 9/10 times i turn on the PC. I've had no luck solving it with different hardware or BIOS updates. It's really quite an odd failure but seems to be a somewhat common occurrence judging by forum posts. Now, I just cannot be bothered to deal with this board anymore and am just going to get a 'better' one (hopefully).
@@fVNzO well, take my sample size of 1 with a huge grain of salt, but, I am using the B650e-e in my test bench for the channel. So far I've had 2 different ram kits (both g.skill), a 7700x, a 7950x, 4070ti, & 4070 FE all in it at some point in the last 30 days, and have had 0 issues so far. 7950x3d is going in next week to see if it's gotten any better now that the chipset drivers updated.
I went with a rog strix b650e-f because my b550e-f was so awesome, but literally will be on my third board after Asus returns my RMA, no overclocking, ample power supply and airflow, so guess I'm just really unlucky
That's insane. Did the 1st 2 have the same issue, or was it something different each time?
@@FPP_Tech First was some sort of secure boot issue so never even made it to installing windows even after updating bios, the second just started having random reboots and windows errors, and it was the only component that was left. It seemed to happen more frequently after a bios update 1222 or something like that and wouldn't let me go back or update to another bios.
Still love the brand, Asus and Gigabyte are my faves
@@Planet2A that sucks to hear. Asus is my go to right now for Motherboards. I do know they had a lot of bios issues trying to update for the X3d chips. Something probably got messed up. I just got a 7950x3d to test, but now I'm holding off until I get confirmation it's fixed.
Actually got my board back from ASUS minus the m2-3 heatsink-cover, and with an oily residue on the board. Once I confirm it will post, I'm selling it and getting a gigabyte board, between the boards and the customer service I'm done with ASUS
ASUS TUF X670E for 300€, that's what i would buy
What Board do you recommend for a ryzen 7950x3d and 4070/4070ti ?
It depends on if you're looking for a budget board good enough for that combo, or something with some future proofing built in.
On the "good enough" side, the MSI Pro X670p is a great value, but a little limited if you want to start thinking next gen.
Asus B650e-e, & gigabyte B650 Aorus Pro AX are solid mid tier boards that also have a great vrm, & Gen 5 m.2 slots. The prices are starting to come down there, so it's worth considering.
On the higher end, MSI x670e carbon or Asus x670e-e are amazing boards. Anything above that has a lot of "cool" factor stuff that doesn't really add value. Also, don't sleep on ASROCK boards. They've really stepped up the game.

@@FPP_Tech What Board would you pick if considering the solid mid tier boards, Asus B650e-e or aorus pro ax ?
@@articz8747 If budget allows, the ASUS B650e-e is the better board. The gigabyte is $100usd cheaper & still a solid choice. Prioritize your GPU over the board if budget is a concern. Try to pair it with ddr5 6000 & a good Gen 4 NVME m.2 to get the most out of your cpu. 7950x3d / 4070ti is a beast of a machine.
So you consider a B650E-E Strix a budget motherboard? Like...what? I really hope you joking
Keep the date in mind. This vid was over a year ago before the a620's & many of the B650's. We looked at this, the ASUS B650-a, aorus pro & Tomahawk B650's as "budget" options compared to x670e boards. Now, there are tons of great lower cost options. Fwiw, I'd still recommend the B650e-e as the best "mid-tier" option.
