I will fly you to the land of tech goodies.
Very insightful, detailed and accurate review. Really appreciate the amount of time you have clearly put into this video, the quality stands out, from the audio to the b-roll. You have yourself a new subscriber, keep doing what you're doing and you'll get thousands more.
Thank you for watching, your comment, and your sub! I really appreciate it.
Awesome. You touched on all the topics and points I was concerned about.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.
Now THIS, is a proper in depth review.
2 years later and I'm using this as a budget build mobo for my kids. This was a great video. Especially since kids their age love RGB, so the RGB and fan connectors are a great addition. Great video man.
Thank you! Glad your kids are loving the machine :)
Just got mine in the mail while building a PC. Looks super clean and can't wait to start building
Right on! Have fun with your build!
That helped a lot thanks sir
Thank you so much, as a soon to be newbie firs time builder this helped me choose my motherboard.
That's great to hear! Have fun building, and thank you for watching! :)
Thank you for explanation so detail
Hey bud, I have to extend to you a big thank you. I was building my wife a new computer using this mother board. I am a novis builder at best. Any ways, the quick start guide sucked at best. Your comments about the full manual and the link you provided saved me a couple hundred dollars that I would have spent if I had to take the computer parts (with my tail between my legs) back to the computer shop for them to build it. Thank you again
Wow, thank you! really glad that helped! Yeah the quick start guide is not the best. I get it's a cost/paper saving measure, but I'd like to have seen the full manual.
Watched this while building my pc, didn't even know there was an NVMe SSD heatsink !
Good vid, thank you for your hard work !
Thanks! Enjoy your new build!!!
nice video, well made with all info needed
Amazing video going in depth on all the features! It was really helpful in making a decision on which board to buy. Can’t wait to use this when upgrading to a 5600x!
Really glad it helped you!
Me late as usual. New sub here and glad that i found u. Just about thinking which mobo to buy for my r5 3600.
Thanks a lot for the detail explanation. Keep it up. Stay healthy and safe 👍👍👍
Good video, thank you!
Thank you for this video 💐
Thank you very much. Keep making good vids
Great video, thank you :)
Keep this approach to your review. Very insightful and well discussed
Thank you!
Most welcome! I hope you continue to bring quality content like this. It may take time but I'm sure you can become a big creator. Stay safe!
Simply fantastic review, I'm glad I found your channel! Sub'd
Great review, thank you!
You’re welcome. Glad you liked it.
very clean and useful video. i want to buy a b550 this video really helped me. thank you
Glad it helped! Thank you for watching.
Fantastic information!
Very concise overview. Nice work! I picked up this board and I am very pleased. Running a Ryzen 7 5800x, RTX 3070, 4 x 8GB sticks of G.Skill PC3600 at CL16 RAM, a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB in the Gen4 M.2 slot and a Corsair MP400 1TB in the Gen3 M.2 slot. It's very stable and the performance is unbelievably fast compared to the i7-7700K, GTX 1060 6GB build I upgraded from. I'm sure this board would handle a Ryzen 9 5950x and RTX 3090 easily. The B550-A Pro is a steal at $139.99 and the money saved can go towards a better CPU, GPU and fast storage for a PC build.
Great build you got there. Thanks for watching! Yeah, I def think it’s a good board for the price.
did you need to update the bois?
did you have to do a bios update ?
@@hamato7728 did you ever find out if it needs the update ?
I have 4 8gb vengeance sticks and can’t get them to work did you have to update anything in bios?
Dude, you are a lifesaver. I'm a new sub THANKS!!!
Glad the video could help. :)
Awesome video
Full answers to all my questions🖒
Thank you! Glad the video helped.
Best Video, thx your help 😄
I just want to say that I love your channel name.
Thank you. :)
One of the simplest front panel connectiona most cases uses compared to the other boards. Easy plug-in for the most non-nimble fingers.
Killer feature set on this board for just over $100. I got 2 good years out of my B450 Tomahawk, but have long wanted a new case and this board offers front USB-C. Flashback saw quite a bit of use around here when Ryzen 3000 series first came out.
I needed 2x PCIe 3.0 x1 along with the usage of both M.2s. This fits the bill and just disables the one longer PCIe. Should work perfect! Dug through dozens of boards before I found one that fit perfectly without all of the extra features. Saved me about $75. Thank you!
You won't find front USB-C, 2x M.2, heatsinks, no WiFi, no RGB, and still good enough VRMs to run the 5000 series CPUs in one package elsewhere. Buy this board!
X570 you're just getting the ability for a second M.2 @ PCIe 4.0 speeds so unless you're running a couple of 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMEs in RAID I don't see the need of spending another $100-$200 on a motherboard this generation.
Only knock is no 2.5GbE, but to be expected at price point I guess!
I really do see this as the successor to the b450 tomahawk max Due ti features and price. The b550 tomahawk is a bit pricier comparatively. :) thanks for watching!
I was planing to build PC and i see B550 this time are good choice and my choice this motherboard and gigabyte UD series. I see this video and make my choice to buy this thanks a lot
Also i did some research on this board while looking up b550 boards it does support seemingly all 5000 series ryzen cpu's, tho some of the 4000 apu's need a bios update so keep that in mind
Even the 5700g apu?
Thanks so much for this review - it's still very relevant. My mobo recently died, and I found a bundle for a Ryzen 7 5700G and this motherboard at a very reasonable price (I'm not a gamer, will be using it as a Linux workstation). If my Ryzen 9 3900x CPU is still working, I might try that in this board.
Awesome. Glad it helped you!
Nice video :D
Do the USB connectors at the bottom of the motherboard, 2.0 or 1.1, have 9 pins? (Great job on the video, helped out a lot.)
Those usb are 2.0. Thank you for watching. :)
Great vid! This is my second or so watch before I hunker down and take the plunge lol. I am looking to pair this with a Ryzen 7 5800x, will I have to perform a BIOS update prior or should it work out the box?
You may have to do a bios update. However if there is a Ryzen 5000 ready sticker in the box you’re good. Also, the bios version number may be printed on the motherboard or manual somewhere. If you find it you can then see what it provides on the MSI support page for the mobo.
Awesome! Thank you so much!!!
Also I was wondering what u did with the pen I don’t get that. Was the psu on or not and with the pen u press on the top right like stick on the panel? And do u press down, up, right or what.
This should be the benchmark for everyone who wants to review motherboard... Thank you sir
Thank you! That really means a lot.
What's your take on the pros and cons of this and the Tomahawk B550. For some reason its really tough to find straight up comparisons between these two?
Here are the main differences I noticed when comparing the two, and mind you this just going off the website to compare them, not from usage as I have not bought the B550 Tomahawk.
The Tomahawk has 2 LAN ports, one 2.5Gb and a 1Gb port. Both motherboards use the same 1Gb LAN chip, the Realtek RTL8111H.
If having the 2.5Gb port is important to you, take that into consideration.
For Audio, the Tomahawk has an Optical S/PDIF header on the back and also uses a different Realtek audio codec than the Pro: ALC1200/ALC1220P (On Tomahawk) versus ALC892/ALC897. I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes but the Tomahawk codec may have some additional software features the A Pro doesn't have, so research into that if it's important to you.
The A Pro has 4 USB 2.0 ports on the rear compared to 2 on the Tomahawk. They both have the same number of USB 3.2 (gen 1 and gen 2 ports and Type-C) on the back.
Aesthetically, the Tomahawk has a fixed rear I/O shield, which is always nice, and more LED lighting integrated onto the motherboard itself. I'm not talking RGB/ARGB headers, but actual lighting. The Tomahawk also supports more RAM speeds, but since both support 3600MHz RAM and that is the sweet spot, I don't see this being a big difference.
Finally Price:
B550-A Pro is $139.99 and the Tomahawk is $179.99, although I saw it for $149.99 during the holidays so price may vary.
That's about all the differences I could fine, everything else is the same including the beefy power delivery heatsink. The actual Power Delivery pieces used may also differ, but I think they actually are the same.
Hope this helps, thanks for watching and commenting. Please like, share, and subscribe. :)
@@MiddleofKnowhere YOOOO you're the G.O.A.T. for responding so thoroughly. Thanks! I am so lucky to now have a 3070 and 5600x in the house so I wanna get this build right! Thanks!
@@blakestrother5122 You're very welcome. :)
Do it support SLI? (Run 2 GPUs)? I have 2070 super planning to get 3060
Thanks for the in-depth video! I bought a BeQuiet 500DX and wanted to utilise the USB type C port but there aren’t many cheaper boards with it on! I’m debating between this and the B550 Tomahawk...
Really glad it helped! Thanks for watching. :)
I ordered this motherboard for my first ever build!
Im a bit confused about the LAN thing, would my internet speeds be lower? And if so, what should I buy to make it better?
Your internet speeds won’t be slowed unless you have internet speeds that can exceed the bandwidth of the LAN port
Im using it with my rtx 3080 12g but can you tell me why my second ssd m.2 slot not picking the sata hp ssd ?
Thanks for your review i'm about to put a 5600 G in this MB
I'm like 9 months late but I'm still going to ask. Is the micro ATX version of this motherboard bad?
Hi there! I know this is an older video but I was wondering, I'm planning on getting a Ryzen 5 5600x, will I need a BIOS Update with this CPU?
Hi, Great question. If you just got this board, chances are you may not need to. I recently got a B550-F Gaming from ASUS and it's Ryzen 5000 ready. Look for a sticker on the box. If you don't see one, odds are then you'll need a BIOS update before you can use the 5600x. There is a BIOS flash button on the back of the motherboard, so that's good. You can flash the BIOS via USB drive.
The MB looks good for the the price but I have one question. If you require Wi-Fi (LAN is not a option) would you opt for a different board or just use a PCI slot or other for a Wi-Fi adapter?
Hi and thanks for watching! This is a great question. My answer would be this: Look to see how much the Wi-fi version of the board costs, if there is one, and then look to see how much a pci-e wifi card costs. compare those price differences and you'll have your answer.
For instance, here's a Gigabyte ATX b550 motherboard with wifi for only 30 bucks more. It's pretty nice looking too. amzn.to/3h8gRxC
Here then is a link to a bunch of pci wifi cards: amzn.to/3aveKTm They all seem to be around 30 bucks or more, so I'd suggest the GIgabyte board as it has wifi in it and for the equivalent price of an add-in card!
@@MiddleofKnowhere Thanks for the reply, hat's what I figured. No sense in using a slot if a board comes with it at the same price. My only concern would be losing something I over looked choosing a different board. There is so much to look at these days.
Yep there is absolutely a lot to look at when it comes to choosing a mobo. Going the cheapest route isn’t always the most viable path as you may lose out on features you need like wifi in your case.
Looks likey changed it a little from having a couple of PCIE X16 ports and one PCIE X1 port to having four or five PCIE X16 ports which is not a bad thing since most PCIE X1 cards work in PCIE X16 slots.
Also, it now has built-in WIFI and Bluetooth and I'm hoping I can make it work with Linux.
Going to get this board next month. It has the SATA ports for all my storage devices, WIFI, and heatsinks and enough fan headers. It's exactly what I need if it works but it looks like online that people have been having issues with these boards more often than the boards we had in the 90's.
Guys which one is better for Vrm temperature and quality ? msi mag b550m bazooka or msi b550a- pro ?
Good video sir. I am new to this field and I am planning to build my first PC. May I ask does this mobo automatically connect to wifi? Or I have to buy the one with “WIFI”?. Thank you.
Hi, this motherboard does not have WIFI included and I didn't see a WIFI version. Having said that you could easily get a WIFI USB dongle or a PCIe card, both of which are inexpensive. If you have to have a WIFI connection but like this motherboard, then I suggest that route. Here's the WIFI USB dongle I use, but a PCIe card might be faster: amzn.to/3P7mP1Q
Here are some WIFI Cards to look at that are well reviewed: amzn.to/3ym5aMZ
The good thing about wifi pci-e cards is they also tend to have Bluetooth as well if you need that, and the USB dongle won't. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Hi, great video, can you reccomend me some 2x8 3600Mhz RAM good and compatible for this board that does not cost too much? Thank you
P.S. i'm going to combine this b550 with a Ryzen 5 3600, what do you think?
Hi and thanks for watching. Corsair vengeance lpx is a good inexpensive kit as is g.skill ripjaws v and also crucial ballistix. Get ddr4 3600 cl16 if you can afford it.
Super informative thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
How about a review, where you talk about bios options, and how good is power delivery and mosfet heatsinks, when running this board hard?
I eventually want to get to that place. I just don't have the space or extra bits right now to do it. Thank you for the suggestion though!
Can you overclock 5600x easily without running into high temps?
The one I'm planning to purchase..
Nice! Would love to see how your build goes.
Hey great video, i am planning to update my old quad core Intel, to this mobo and budget CPU ryzen 3600, what do you think? never used amd CPU before.
Thanks for watching. It’s a good board and I had fun building with it. No issues updating the BIOS or anything. The 3600 worked great too!
Good review, but can i use 144 hz/1080p monitor wit this motherboard?
does it work out of the box with a ryzen 7 5800x, or do I need to update it as I do not have another CPU that is compatible, only a ryzen 5 1600x
By now it should. Motherboard makers tend to sell mobos with updated BIOSs after a bit. As always check the box for the Ryzen 5000 ready sticker.
Hey its me again, I wanted to ask you another question about this MBD. I ended up purchasing it and building out of it. I am having a few issues. One is being sent a bad RAM stick but I think I safely diagnosed the problem. The second, is related to the MBD itself. I went with one m.2 ssd for my build for starters. I installed it into the first M.2. slot but the bios does not recognize it? I can see in some deeper menus in the bios that it sees the name and brand of the ssd but its not "active". Am I limited to the second slot? Or is there something I am missing with MBD and bios?
You're not limited to the 2nd slot at all. If you haven't installed windows yet, do that 1st. this will give you the chance to format that SSD and create a volume. this way the BIOS will recognize it. That's my first inclination to say. Normally the only thing I do first in the BIOS is set XMP for the RAM but won't touch it again until after windows has been installed. The top slot on this mobo is also PCI-e 4.0 and the bottom is 3.0, so keep that in mind too. IT shouldn't affect using a 3.0 drive in that slot but I cannot be 100% sure on that statement.
@@MiddleofKnowhere Thanks yeah I think I figured it out. I dropped my SSD to the second M.2 slot and that at least helped me get my Windows set up. After that, I did a bios update. My MBD came 5000 AMD chip ready BUT it was still an old bios. Even in the second slot the SSD was not recognized by bios but after bios update, all was as should be. Thanks again!
@@blakestrother5122 Awesome! Glad you got it sorted. :)
Could anyone control led case fan by 3 pins jrainbow connector? I tried many times but mystic light still did not recognize it.
Great video! So I have a headset with two headphone jacks. One for the headphone itself and the other for the mic. Would this MOBO work for two headphone jacks?
Yes it will. There's a mic jack and headphone jack on the back. Thanks for watching!
How about mAtx version of this? Couldn’t find any reviews on that. Is it ok to use that with 5600X stock settings+ Arctic Esports 34(single fan)? I am not planning to overclock or use pbo but the card lacks vrm coolers etc.
If I was getting an MSI mATX board, I'd probably go with the Mortar since it has heatsinks on the power delivery for better cooling, but that's me. I think the B550M Pro should do you fine with a 5600x.
Great review! Just got this up and running this past weekend with a Ryzen 7 5800x and it flies! Great board and pretty quick to get up and running once everything was installed. Specs:
Ryzen 7 5800x
B550-A Pro motherboard
Sapphire Pulse RX 5600 XT 6gb GDDR6
32GB G.Skill 3600mhz c16 memory
Samsung 980Pro 250GB boot nvme (top slot)
SK Hynix 1TB storage nvme (bottom slot)
This should last me quite a while! :)
Very nice build! Thank you for watching. :)
When you used the board did you have to update its BIOS?
@@ohtych1004 the box said it was Ryzen 5000-series ready. To be sure about that, I used the Flash BIOS button, with no CPU installed to update it to the current level BIOS. That made things super easy when I finished the build and it just came right up.
does it say gen3 compatible on the box
I got the 5800x too and will assemble this weekend! Thanks for sharing :)
Does this have a SATA power port as well? Iv'e got this motherboard but my PSU is EVGA 750 b5 (which is a pain to get the right cable for) and i'm hoping i can just use the motherboard for it like some other ones
there are sata data connections. the motherboard wouldn't have a sata power connection, those are plugged directly into the hd or ssd from the psu. I talk about storage around the 7:00 mark
Anyone know what aio bracket is need because I’m trying to install one and none of mine fit
Can you answer a question for me? I have this MB and it was running fine but I had one Ram stick fail. The PC powers up on the one stick but won't give me visual. Should I get visual with the one stick or does this MB require two sticks?
Hi, the motherboard doesn't require two sticks of ram, but you'll want to use two sticks to get dual-channel mode which will increase performance. Try to determine whether or not the slot is bad versus the stick. You may need to RMA the motherboard if the slot is bad.
Hey, this might be a stupid question, but if i have 2 HDD's, and a M.2 drive, does that mean i won't have to buy any more SADTA cables if it comes with 2?
Nope, you don't need a sata cable for an m.2 drive. it slips into a slot.
So would you recommend this Mainboard for a mid range gaming PC?
Absolutely. Setting it up was super easy, barely an inconvenience. Updated the BIOS no prob and set XMP for the CPU easy as well (you'll need to reset XMP each time you update a BIOS so don't set it up until after you've fully updated IMO). No issues in the build that I made and then sold whatsoever.
im looking at getting another NVME but it looks like the bottom nvme slot is smaller than the one with the cover if so what is it i dont want to buy nvme and it be to big, any help appreciated.
Both slots should be able to handle standard sized m.2 drives which are 2280 (22mm wide by 80mm long). The bottom slot supports 2242/ 2260/ 2280 while the top supports those lengths and 22110 as well.
Dang I can't use one of the PCI-E slots when I use the NVME slot. Just ordered this several minutes ago. Oh well, doesn't matter. Upgrading to AM4 from X79. AM5 is too damn expensive from where I am, the cost of an AM5 A620 and a 7600 is equal to the amount I bought for the AM4 board, 5700x, 8GB x 4 DDR4 RAM. Plus, 8GB x 2 DDR5 RAM is much more expensive than 8GB x 4 sticks of DDR4 3600MHZ. Thank you for the information!
This one or gygabyte b550 auros pro?
I am so close to buying this motherboard, will it work with the 5600 non X series when they release it?
Absolutely, it will prob need a bios update but it will work. If you do buy it, use the link in the description, you'll be helping me out. :)
Hi there, I’m quite new to all of this and I was wondering if I need a wireless adapter for this motherboard?
Yes to the wireless adapter :)
Hi sir very good video
I am planning my first pc build I need some advices for picking parts.
As I am planning to build amd ryzen 5 3600.
So budget is small so I need good budget motherboard.
I am a newbie actually don't know how to select a motherboard please help
The b550-a pro is pretty good and will serve you well but if you need to go cheaper consider the AsRock b550 phantom gaming. A B450 motherboard will also save you money. For your OS drive consider a WD blue sn550 512GB amd then a 2TB seagate barracuda platter drive for mass storage. You can get the cougar mx330 case for about 40 bucks or less I think. Or go for a montech case at $56 and it has 4 fans. Get 16GB of ddr4 3200 or 3600 ram as budget allows and try to aim for CL16. Your GPU will determine your PSU but aim for 80+ bronze at a minimum and consider semi-modular of you can. 550-750 watts should do you depending on your gpu. You’ll also probably want an aftermarket cpu cooler at some point. And the Vetroo V5 should serve in a pinch. As for gpu ... pray you can find one at msrp and shop according to your budget.
Hi there I only got 1TB of M.2 Slots on the top which M.2 do you recommend me to put on the bottom?
Thank you
Put a 500gb on bottom for your boot drive.
Im planning on building with a ryzen 5 3600x. Would this be a good choice to go along with it?
That CPU would pair very well with this motherboard. It's great performer.
"Using bottom M.2 slot,makes second PCIe 3.0 slot unavailable" I didnt quite understand that.
Does this mean if i use Intel® SSD 665p Series
(1.0TB, M.2 80mm PCIe* 3.0 x4) i cant put GTX 1070 on PCIe slot above?
Can you explain how can i manage do put those 2 on this motherboard?
You can put the 1070 in the very top pcie slot but not the 2nd full length slot closer to the bottom of the board.
Hope that makes sense.
@@MiddleofKnowhere I read on MSI site for this motherboard same thing you said. That scared me at the moment.
I will build next components to this MOBO,can you clarify if everything gonna be alright?
R3 3100
8x2 DDR4 VENGEANCE® LPX 3200mhz
Intel® SSD 665p 1TB M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4
GTX 1070
PSU - LC Power 650w 80+ Gold
MS Titan 2 PRO will be the Case for all of this
@@PcManiac2022 It looks good. I've never heard of the case, but as long as it's ATX form factor you'll be able to fit in the MSI motherboard no problem.
i hope i can get my hands on a 3060 when it releases. i will put it into this thing
Same here! I have some budget oriented builds in mind and need to get my hands on the less expensive GPUs being released.
I hsve 3090 its nice
Do I have to update BIOS to use it with Ryzen 5 5600x or can I just install it and use immediately?
Depends on what the box says. If there's a ryzen 5000 ready sticker, you're gold; otherwise, you'll need to update the BIOS first.
Hello, do you recommend this board with ryzen 5600x or a z590 msi a pro with 11600k around the same price.
Depends really. Are you inclined to go with DDR5 or stay with DDR4? If the former then get a z590 with ddr5 capabilities and an 11600k. Also with the 5800x being on sale it's the better value over the 5600x tbh and possibly the 11600k.
nice video
Thank you!
do i need the mobo stand-off with the 4000d airflow case?
The extra one? Prob not.
I bought a 5800x and this motherboard and it doesn't work at all, the PC starts but it doesn't give video to the monitor, it should be incompatibility or I just need a bios update or flashback? Thanks and nice video!
(I have a gpu zotac 1070 8gb)
You'll need to update to the BIOS via BIOS flashback for the 5800X to be usable. Make sure you have no CPU or RAM installed while you do the flashback. Go to the full manual (link in the video description) and follow the instructions on how to do the BIOS update. Hope this helps!
@@MiddleofKnowhere All right I'll try it! Thank you!😁
cant say i understood a lot of this, got this motherboard recently and will arrive soon so i hope i know what im doing for installation. Wanted to know if it DOES have a wifichip and if not what would you recommend to mitigate that?
Non wifi on this model but you can buy a pcie card for wifi as a solution or a usb wifi solution as well. I use the latter when setting up new builds intend to sell.
Here's a link to the USB wifi i use:
amzn.to/3D1MIJG
and here's to some pcie cards:
amzn.to/3I179u1
thank you so much! Its very appreciated c:
Does this board support 2 3 gen 1 type-a case or does it have only one 3 gen 1 type-a?
For front USB? Just one header that will support around 2 front ports.
Just bought this mb. No screws included except these 3 small ones.
New to all this stuff, have a relative understanding of most components, just need to know if it is compatible with a Ryzen 5 3600x
it is compatible, that’s what im putting in mine.
@@jadonloyd5687 Thank you
Have fun with your build!
Hi so it has 3 USB so if I use a a water cooling Aio I won’t have any issues?
Nope you shouldn’t. It has 2 internal usb headers for 2.0 which what most aios use.
In this mother board we have connect wifi roter or just on hotpot from mobile and connect
There's an ethernet port and this version doesn't have wifi. You'll want to connect an ethernet cable from your modem or router to the motherboard's LAN port.
Am I able to use this mobo out of the box with my ryzen 5 3600x? without having the update bios or do any of that
Yes, by now any of these b550 boards should be Ryzen 3000 series ready out the box.
nice video, was thinking if getting a b550 vs a b450 but theyre priced almost the same here. thanks!
Thanks for watching! Yeah b450 boards can be comparable. Most are cheaper but the added features you may get with the B550 can make that chipset worth it. Just depends on what you’re using.
@@MiddleofKnowhere looking to pair it up with a ryzen 3700x and a 2070 super i bought last holidays. excited for the build performance
@@reno1901 Nice! that will be a great combo.
I have had this board for almost a year now using 2 of the SATA 6Gb ports. I am planning on filling the M.2 slots, knowing that disables the second x16 PCIe slot but I wonder if it’s possible to fill both the M.2 slots and all the SATA ports. Not that I need it, just out of curiousity. It doesn’t say it in the specs which probably means it’s fine but 🤷♂️
I don't think the SATA ports disable only that PCI slot. ANother board review I'm working on from AsRock does have 2 SATA ports disable, but you get all the PCIe slots and there are 4 SATA ports remaining. Depending on circumstances, losing 2 sata ports might be a bigger loss than a pcie slot, or vice versa. If you need it all, then I think X570 is the chipset to go with and prices on those boards should be coming down by now.
@@MiddleofKnowhere if i put 2 videocard m.2 slot will be not function?
I want to build my computer with the motherboard that you introduced and ryzen 5 5600x, and radeon 6600. Will it work well?
Absolutely, should work great.
@@MiddleofKnowhere thank you for responding! I was worried If I need to buy higher price motherboard
ty guy
so can i use the ryzen 5 5600x with this board out the box or would i have to update the bios
more than likely you'll have to do a bios update first.
this motherboard with ryzen 5 3600xt and msi rx5700xt are compatibility with pcie 4??is possiblle a soft overclock of the cpu with this card?thanks for the video...
Thanks for watching. Yes you can OC the cpu with this mobo. It has a good enough vrm to have some good power delivery.
A not expensive couple of 8 GB RAM for overclock with this mobo?thanks
@@ARANBANJO75 i'd recommend finding a 16gb 2-stick kit of ddr4 3600 cl16 or cl18 ram. You can find that for around $100.00 or less. G.Skill Ripjaws V comes to mind.
what are the ohms for this board?
Looks like this may have around 250, but I'm not 100% sure and it's hard finding any material on this. Great question though. Here's a link to the codec used: www.realtek.com/en/products/computer-peripheral-ics/item/alc892
Hey man, i'm not sure if you're gonna see this but will i be able to use the type c port in the motherboard io if my case doesn't have a type c connector? Will my type c port in the motherboard work normally with just the usb 3.xx connectors in place?
Hi, there should be type-c to usb 3.0 adapters you can get, so you could theoretically use that header, but it won't be at the type c speeds.
@@MiddleofKnowhere Hello again. What i meant was that will i be able to use the type c port which is included in the motherboard at the back with all the other ports? I wasn't talking about a type c port on the case, but the one on the IO of the motherboard. If i plug in my motherboard, set it up etc etc will the usb type c port work despite there being no type c header on my case?
Thanks for replying btw. EDIT: an easier way to phrase my question is, will the type c port work on my motherboard by default without any additional connections to the case, adapters etc?
Ohhh I misunderstood. Yes you can use the type c on the back I/o with any type c devices or adapters for type a to c. It doesn’t matter if your case doesn’t have a type c at the front. Front headers on case connect to internal headers on the motherboard. The rear I/o on the mobo is independent of that.
@@MiddleofKnowhere Dude thanks so much for replying! I was getting worried that i was gonna have to replace my whole motherboard from my parts list. Have a great day/night my man.
2:07 i shouldn't add standoff there? I don't get it. Then maybe only do 4 standoff?
