I love supporting you guys when i can. nzxt built my new pc this time and i did get this MB but sorry i couldn't buy it through your link :( Next time!
I have this board with 7950x. Got it the day it came out. No issues whatsoever since I started my pc the first day Runs perfect! No coil whine nothing. Just get one if you are on the fence!
Also do note I discovered the hard way with my new Asus Board (Z690-F) That you MUST connect the Wifi Antenna even if you don't plan to use WiFi if you DO plan to use bluetooth as it doubles as a Bluetooth antenna.
@@caliraised415 Yes, I made this mistake and my bluetooth performance with my Xbox Controller was awful as it would constantly disconnect. I felt so stupid when I found out the reason why was because I didn't have this antenna connected!
How did it go were there any issues. I heard it's best to have a 1303 bios version to match that processor. Would you kindly advised what worked for you and what parts you'd recommend with it for an optimal build no budget needed 😅🙏
I find it hilarious that this is one of their few x670e boards to come with the POST code readout, but they are still positioning them where AIOs block them.
I own the X570 Hero. So this was a natural progression. The Rog Strix X670-E is priced like the X570 Hero. I left the one of the M2 slots empty, because of the split lanes. I know it doesn't impact things too much. It's there if I need it. I'm already running 3x 2TB M2 drives with 2X 2TB Sata.
@@danemyburgh The Mobo has been stable outside of a minor sleep/wake issue. The USB ports were pulling too much power during sleep and the PC would not wake up until I unplugged a few things. I fixed the issue with a few bios tweaks. Otherwise no problems.
Yeah 2-4TB ssd/nvme is the way to go for gaming. With video editing probably want dual or tri 8 TB ssd/nvme. That will be very expensive. So maybe a 14 TB 7200 hdd.
@@DrManany I believe it's M.2 #3. The third slot counting from the left of the main OS M. 2. The X670-E F doesn't have this issue. But I honestly wouldn't worry much about splitting the lanes. It doesn't have an impact on gaming.
So if I don't want to half my GPU lane, don't populate the M.2_3 slot but I can populate the rest with out halving my gpu lane or did I misunderstand something?
Basically, all 4 m.2 slots have to have a drive in them for the halving to take place apparently. Even then you’re talking 6-10 fps loss. Not a big deal
I built my newest system with basically no budget cap, but I decided to go with the B650 version of this board. Both of them are massively overbuilt and the B650 one ticked all my boxes, so didn't need to look at this version. Got plenty of nvme drives to go with it, but I only connected 3 of them, not sure how much connecting the fourth would cripple the 4090 in ML workloads, but for now it's just used as a gaming/web browsing rig til I get my thumb out my ass. 😂
The MB manual claims occupying port 3 will halve the pci lanes to the first x16 slot. In your video around 10:10 you mention if port 1 and 2 have a drive it will also halve the lanes in the first slot. Is this correct? I want to install 2 m.2 drives and one gpu without halving my lanes. The manual also says PCI 1-2 and m.2 3 share a connection, so it should only halve lanes when occupying both PCI slots and/or the m.2 3 slot?
@@mainsource8030 Excellent I have the same set up Want to add an gen 5 nvme. Can i use it on slot 1 with full speed While the rest ( expect m2-3 ) are gen 4 ?
Great breakdown. However, are you saying to keep the two bottom M.2 ports empty? Because you said the bottom left port 3 is especially problematic and they go straight into explaining why the bottom right port 2 can cause issues also. What's the point of adding these two M.2 slots if its gonna cut GPU in half? Seems very odd.
Can you tell whether the AK620 air cooler would fit this board? (Or the the Z790-E Intel equivalent) My concern is precisely that PCI-E 5.0 M;2 heat shield you just showed in this video. Both boards have it. Just as some info: I contacted Noctua and they assured me the NH-D15S DOES fit. But Deepcool Support didn´t provide a satisfactory yes or no answer.
I have found out the hard way that if you are not running 0805 bios, you can't overclock nothing . Enable any ram or CPU overclock and your greeted with a PC that won't post. I had to find the bios file online because Asus took it off there website. Just a heads up
It was my choice earlier this year, very happy so far, except for Armoury Crate - real definition of a bloatware, but it's not causing any actual issues yet
I have this board with a 7950X and I highly recommend as of now to use BIOS 0805 for Maximum stability. BIOS version 0922 was very buggy for me throwing a lot of code 15s.
Do you have any problems with the Ethernet-Controller I225-V? I prefere ASUS for a new build but iam a little bit scary about this controller. There a lot of problems in some Forums
is that really true? so these more expensive ones use x8 on gpu when all nvme is used? im looking at buying Proart or x670e-A which should be the same just white version, seems like a good buy, (though after all these scandals with bios and asus mobos frying the cpu and ram, im also considering Asrock Taichi)
It is, check out the manuals for proof. Unfortunately my x670e-f had constant coil whine, the second it was turned on. In the end I went for the x670e Carbon. That board also doesn't limit the GPU with all slots occupied and also has another two sata ports if that's important to you.
@@hostile_1866 thanks for the info, never used msi stuff, I would get it, but seems no tb4/usb4 inputs on any am5 boards which im gonna need for external 16 input/output audio card, so im still stuck between Asrock Taichi and Asus proart mbs
@@davemaverick8438 It's a tough one. I mean limiting the GPU slot dosn't have too much real world difference. It's probably a loss of about 2-5 fps max.
@hostile_1866 Did switching to the carbon get rid of the coil whine? I am asking because I recently bought a x650e-f and seem to be having the same coil whine.
Finished installing this board all went well having little issue with LAN port. I updated the bios but still not getting any internet from the LAN port. Thoughts?
When installing a single NVMe M.2 into an SSD enclosure, is it necessary to remove the sticky seals for all drive enclosures. Or just the one you plan to use. (Sorry if this is a dumb question)
10:00 so it means if i Install 2 M.2 SSD In Port 1 and 2 i loose Bandwith in the Graphics Port? In the Manual they said if u use Port 3 and 4 you loose Bandwith from X16 to X8. Whats right? Want to Install a 1TB M.2 and a 4TB M.2 both PCI4.0
Can you please tell as I'm looking to get this board. Have you found it stable? No SoC voltage overheating on CPU? Intel Ethernet issues? RAM issues? I'd really appreciate your thoughts. Cheers
I have the A variant for a white theme build. It seems to not play well with my ddr5 ram. I can’t get into bios unless I clear cmos, other than that it boots into window fine, I do see there was a new bios update. Maybe that would fix it. On the manual for x670e-a it doesn’t specify that if all 4 nvme slots are populated it would cut the gpu lane. Is that only for the x670e-a model? If so I find it odd that the model e can’t do the same when it cost more.
Also on team a 😂 am5 is very picky/dodgy about ram. Make sure its on the QVL, dont even think about trying 4 sticks and stick to the 32 for now. It seems the best bet is a 6000mt c30 32gb hynix. (Youll notice alot of benchmarks are running those, and that theyre super high in demand). I have 5600 cl36 and the stock speed is stable but i cant run expo on those.
The gen 5 SSD cards I plan to buy, already have a large heat shield attached. That means I won't be able to attach the heat shields that came with the motherboard correct?
Guys, what is your experience with x670e motherboards these days? I'm having difficulty choosing a motherboard for my build, there are many negative reports about AM5 boards, can you help me choose a board that doesn't give me a headache? Thank you all for your help....
Hi, I have the same motherboard but with ryzen 9 7950x3d Trident z 32g cl30, expo 1 Every time I turn on the pc, I got code 15, and then it boots to windows, everything run normally without any issues. The booting time takes about 30-45 seconds. Is that normal, or is there something wrong with the memory?
So as per the manual, if I use m.2_3 along with m.2_1 and m.1_2 the pcie_1 goes to 8 lanes. What if I use m.2_1, m.2_2, and m.2_4? Will my pcie_1 be 8 or 16?
i let nzxt build this into my desktop. i bought 3 samsung 990 pros. I hope they put those in the right slots! anyone know a quick easy way to tell how many lanes my gpu is using?
Bit late to the party here. I'm moving up to a new AM5 build soon. Present cooling on my AM4 cpu is a Corsair Hydro X series, XC7 Cpu water block, which I'm hoping is also compatible with the newer X670E-E board, AM5 scocket. Anyone know if this is the case? From the quick glance I had of the back of the board featured here, I may be okay??
for anyone who has this motherboard, are you able to download windows 11 with this motherboard? in the process of building my first pc and i just want to be sure i get the right parts.
Start button is the same as the power switch from the case. It allows the use of the motherboard without being in a case. The drivers get installed via the web instead of using a cd coaster.
@TheProvokedPrawn was it only using the third m.2 slot that halves the pcie lanes ? Like can I use the 1st, 2nd and 4th slot and still have the lanes at X16 ?
Getting this board along with a 4090 and a 2TB Wd Black SN850x. Want to put the 850x in a slot that goes straight to the CPU of course for best performance, but don't want to rob the 4090 of any of its 16 lanes. Which M.2 slot should I use on this motherboard to accomplish this? Also, would the Corsair h150i elite cappelix CPU cooler install the same way as your 170 in this video?
Ok so if anyone can help me that would be great! I'm looking to get this board along with the Ryzen 7 7800x3d and I'm seeing issues that can be solved with a BIOS update before using my CPU. Just trying to figure out how I can go about that and avoid blowing up CPU.
I can’t understand, at the beginning of my assembly, I did the same put in the first slot gen 5 and fourth gen 4 one is 512 gb second 2 tb KC3000 after i tried to replace to another slots like a 3and 4 my mobo is x670e-f cpu 7800x3d gpu 7900xtx sapphire psu be quite dark power 12 850 watt cooler noctua nh-d15, after flashing bios windows etc i checked my gpu-z and what i see PCIe x16 4.0 @ x8 4.0 what i need to do for my gpu can run x16 not x8? for check my gpu i tried to put my rx 5700 xt and same thing… so what wrong with my assembly? my first pc assembly without 1 issue all was clear and working good. this is my first and last asus motherboard i always building with gigabyte.
Seriously I have always wondered, what % of users need to populate any more than 1 PCIe slot? Sound cards are like a 1990s thing (remember Sound Blaster cards?) you already have like 4 M.2 slots on a decent board, 4 TB a drive (can be 8 but not trying to go super expensive) that's 16 TB, like how much storage can you possibly need?
I've got a m-atx x99 board with 2 graphics cards and a 10gb nic. What I can't understand is wtf do you need 4 m.2 ports for. Would much rather have pcie. You can always get a pcie to m.2 adapter if you need more. Some people do things other than playing games on their machines.
So Asus tells us - here ya go, 2 gen 5 nvme drives..and look, two more gen 4! But if you use them all then your GPU will run half a fast. Dude that's a bit of shite innit?
That board is a Horrible value at $480 today. To spend that money and run a 3060ti is a completely upside build. $150 Gigabyte B650M DS3H would do all that and take $300 to the GPU. In 3 years time, Gen 5 stuff might be relevant and totally unnecessary for Gaming and only relevant to productivity. I hope you got the board as a tester.

@@GreggRoberts thats strange, i have recently got 3 samsung 990 pros and installed it on slot 1,2 and 4 and my GPU on pcie_1 is running at 16 lanes
Can i put 2 Gen5 m.2 and the other 2 slots with 2 gen4 m.2?
the usbc port alignment on the IO looks pretty bad for a high end MB
What is the issue with corsair Ram for this motherboard?
I just bought this motherboard and I am very new to building pcs. Does it matter what SSDs I put in this?

Only Asus could charge you extra for cutting your GPU bandwidth in half if you want to populate all of your M.2 slots.
i let nzxt build this into my desktop. i bought 3 samsung 990 pros. I hope they put those in the right slots! anyone know a quick easy way to tell how many lanes my gpu is using?
Bit late to the party here. I'm moving up to a new AM5 build soon. Present cooling on my AM4 cpu is a Corsair Hydro X series, XC7 Cpu water block, which I'm hoping is also compatible with the newer X670E-E board, AM5 scocket. Anyone know if this is the case? From the quick glance I had of the back of the board featured here, I may be okay??
for anyone who has this motherboard, are you able to download windows 11 with this motherboard? in the process of building my first pc and i just want to be sure i get the right parts.
YES
Question: Are the drivers pre installed or do you have to down load them?
And What is the start button used for on the mother board?
Thanks.
Start button is the same as the power switch from the case. It allows the use of the motherboard without being in a case. The drivers get installed via the web instead of using a cd coaster.
Ok thanks@@TheSjuris
Awesome motherboard
looks good the board
So if i installed 2 Gen 5 m.2, it would reduce the performance of my GPU?

@@GanymedeXD
Thank you for the explanation 👍
So if you use every m.2 slot apart from the third one all the pcie lanes will stay at X16 ???
It doesn't really matter ua-cam.com/video/CT55vgeuhPo/v-deo.html
@TheProvokedPrawn was it only using the third m.2 slot that halves the pcie lanes ?
Like can I use the 1st, 2nd and 4th slot and still have the lanes at X16 ?
Mine does not detect wifi so I can't finalize Win11 installation and even have an access to the dekstop
Very goog tuto, thanks9
im going to put a AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D in it a big difference going from intel to amd current i5 9600k msi mpg motherboard micro
I want to use 2 m.2 drives on this motherboard what slots am i best using for them?
@@GanymedeXDI just didnt want to accidentally use the wrong slot and limit performance from my PC. That's what I'm trying to avoid.
is there a link to the complete build?

Hey dude - where did you put the f-panel connector?
Bottom right (ua-cam.com/video/RYkW2WywN5I/v-deo.html)
Getting this board along with a 4090 and a 2TB Wd Black SN850x. Want to put the 850x in a slot that goes straight to the CPU of course for best performance, but don't want to rob the 4090 of any of its 16 lanes. Which M.2 slot should I use on this motherboard to accomplish this?
Also, would the Corsair h150i elite cappelix CPU cooler install the same way as your 170 in this video?
i'm currently getting the exact same setup😂
@@juanpineda1446 Nice! :) I just started my build yesterday with these components.
M2.2. It's in the manual.
Thanks!!!
Welcome!
Thumbs up for the build. Everything else not so much.
What's the feedback?
So the third one does not share the lanes with the top 2 correct?
Honestly noticed 0 difference when running my 4090 on x8, with all my pcie lanes filled, will eventually get a 4tb ssd and leave slot 3 empty tho.
Does this motherboard support ddr5 6000 mhz ram?
Which screwdriver for M2 slots? I have regular one. 😂 Help! Thanks
Would a rog strix 4070 ti fir in that motherboard
LOL! This guy sounds like the guy from Tech Yes City.
If I install 420 radiators on the top, can I install 140 fans on the back?
Ok so if anyone can help me that would be great! I'm looking to get this board along with the Ryzen 7 7800x3d and I'm seeing issues that can be solved with a BIOS update before using my CPU. Just trying to figure out how I can go about that and avoid blowing up CPU.
Those issues with Asus are long resolved. Just make sure to update your bios and you're fine.
What’s the difference between the E, F, H etc versions?
H is the cheapest version with cut down features , such as less m.2 etc
Can it handle 128 gb of ddr5 ram?
Great review......
Then I went to check out the price, just WOW........what a total rip off some of these AM% boards cost.
Im currently building my oc using this board
One of the pack man gosts is on the back of my ROG B650ef board i know packman is on another ROG board
Has anyone else had problems with overclocking this board DOCP.
Nice one m8
I can’t understand, at the beginning of my assembly, I did the same put in the first slot gen 5 and fourth gen 4 one is 512 gb second 2 tb KC3000 after i tried to replace to another slots like a 3and 4 my mobo is x670e-f cpu 7800x3d gpu 7900xtx sapphire psu be quite dark power 12 850 watt cooler noctua nh-d15, after flashing bios windows etc i checked my gpu-z and what i see PCIe x16 4.0 @ x8 4.0 what i need to do for my gpu can run x16 not x8? for check my gpu i tried to put my rx 5700 xt and same thing… so what wrong with my assembly? my first pc assembly without 1 issue all was clear and working good. this is my first and last asus motherboard i always building with gigabyte.
I have an gen 3 ssd where should I place it
m.2_4
I only watch for the ASMR
I appreciate you watching
Gracias! Muy bueno 👌
$439.99!!! dang
Seriously I have always wondered, what % of users need to populate any more than 1 PCIe slot? Sound cards are like a 1990s thing (remember Sound Blaster cards?) you already have like 4 M.2 slots on a decent board, 4 TB a drive (can be 8 but not trying to go super expensive) that's 16 TB, like how much storage can you possibly need?
Lots. I use one for games, one for video files, one for gameplay recording and one for Windows
I've got a m-atx x99 board with 2 graphics cards and a 10gb nic. What I can't understand is wtf do you need 4 m.2 ports for. Would much rather have pcie. You can always get a pcie to m.2 adapter if you need more. Some people do things other than playing games on their machines.
So Asus tells us - here ya go, 2 gen 5 nvme drives..and look, two more gen 4! But if you use them all then your GPU will run half a fast.
Dude that's a bit of shite innit?
it doesn't really matter ua-cam.com/video/CT55vgeuhPo/v-deo.html
@@TheProvokedPrawn I get it. i think you mentioned that video in this one, so thanks for that link. Thanks again!
That board is a Horrible value at $480 today. To spend that money and run a 3060ti is a completely upside build. $150 Gigabyte B650M DS3H would do all that and take $300 to the GPU. In 3 years time, Gen 5 stuff might be relevant and totally unnecessary for Gaming and only relevant to productivity. I hope you got the board as a tester.
Yes I did and that's also not my main GPU or my main build 😉
6700xt would be a better than that 3060ti and would be between 50-80 dollars cheaper while being more powerful
Bro japping like he thinks you can buy things with money
Why 7 7700X proceessor with this motherboard? And whyn't 9 7900X processor?
Because it's all I had the money for
@@TheProvokedPrawn so with this processor aus tuf gaming b650 was enough
everyone make sure ur grounded wen working w motherboard i made the mistake yesterday
