I once overclocked a Phenom II 1090T to 4.0GHz on an MSI NF980-G65. It's VRMs were so bad that it actually caught fire and smoked up the room with fresh burnt electronics smell. That CPU somehow survived and still works to this day.
For my last three builds I've used the same high quality external sound card through USB. No hiss from interference inside the case; repairable; never really becomes obsolete. I think this possibility should be taken into account, even for budget builds.
a very simple and logical guy...I like this channel and is just my first time. Keep it real and cool, please. You look authentic and down to earth with your knowledge, especially for people like me doing my research to do my first build. Thanks.
That VRM temps using a downstream cooler looks like one more reason why I despise water cooling. A lot of tech channels do their VRM test using water cooling without any air going trough the VRMs, them declaring this or that board had bad VRM design.
A lot of people don't think about this at all. The stock cooler for both Intel and AMD are designed to blow air downward onto the VRMs but tech reviewers rarely talk about this.
Many "enthusiasts" seem to have never asked themselves "why do stock cpu coolers blow downwards onto the motherboard? = to cool the vrms and other components. What allways makes me laugh is they liquid cool the cpu but let the vrms fry blissfully unaware they require airflow. Best solution for better cooling is simply a bigger stock air cooler.
This is a double edged sword though. With any high level of intensity, you're just dumping hot air on the board and VRMs. Doing the minor investment of buying a decent tower cooler is practically always better, unless you're cramped on space, then you should experiment with turning the CPU coolers fan around to draw air up instead of blowing it down. Because this will often still provide some airflow over the VRMs, while exporting the hot air asap.
Build a PC with this board, a 3600 and a 16 GB 3600 CL 18 kit, works like a charm. Really nice and compact board to build with and if you need WiFi you might as well get this over an older B450 board as the prices are almost the same.
With the cpu, did u have to update BIOs for the cpu to be compatible with the mother board or is the motherboard already compatible with AMD Ryzen 5 3600
_"All in all this is a perfectly reasonable motherboard"_ Oh yaay, it's the one I've ordered. I'm not hardware technical, I'm not even building it - it's such a small overhead to get a professional to do it and I want a single warranty and no stress. I certainly won't be overclocking it. And I paired it with the 3700, which you suggested almost what you suggested. And reasonable graphics card, a 3060, I'm sure would count. So phew, I was probably just lucky. You did well to make the broad strokes clear to a layman. Thanks!
@@yusastudios Delighted with it, I did chuck 32gig of half decent ram in it which always helps but I haven't had a single problem. Just last week I coded a pretty intensive web scraping script which ran for three days in the background and there wasn't the slightest issue as I used the computer for everyday use.
I used this mobo for my build, works fine and no regrets at all -Asus Prime B550M-A AM4 DDR4 M-ATX -AMD Ryzen 5 5500G 3.9Ghz up to 4.4Ghz AM4 6 Core -MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Super Ventus XS OC 6GB GDDR6 -SSD MSI Spatium M461 1TB PCIe 4.0 Gen 4x4 NVMe M.2 2280 -RAM v-color DDR4 SKYWALKER PLUS 16GB 2x8GB 3200MHz CL16 Memory -HSF Deepcool AK400 Zero Dark 120mm AIR CPU Cooler -PSU Corsair CV Series CV550 550W CV 550 | 80 Plus Bronze | Flat Cables
Did it work out of the box with that 5500G? I'm thinking about upgrading my i5 8400 to a R5 5500. Looking for a motherboard that doesn't require a bios update.
4 years later, getting the "II" version for my brother's PC (now that I have hand-me-down 32GB DDR4 3200, 3700X and NH-12S). Considering that his case can fit 10 slot boards, has 2x 230mm+ 1x 140mm fan (could put 4x 140mm or another 230mm fan on the side panel) - VRM thermals will never be an issue. And TBH beyond looks the case is utter overkill in every aspect for anything less than an E-ATX board, so it'll never need replacing. Every other board in the same price bracket that was available had older wifi and BT.
I have this board with a ryzen 9 5900x overclocked with watercooling. I had to add a fan to the vrm's because there was no more airflow due to the wateblock but they will push 215 watts to the cpu no problem. Asus actually uses this board in their pre-built desktops with a 5700g and a 3060. Yeah you're good!
Was this with 4 sticks? What Bios version worked to resolve the issue. I can run two sticks 32gb (2x16) 3200mhz but not four - the system fails to boot up no matter what I have adjusted in Bios.
Ahem, not 6+2, it's 4+2 while the +2 is in parallel. 4x (SiRA 14DP/2x SiRA 12) for VCore and 2x2 (SiRA 14DP/SiRA12) for SOC. These are Vishay "DrMos" 46A @75°C Parts... When you look on the top you see two mini chips in the SOC portion, which are the drivers. so next time remove the heatsink and look at the configuration. Highend boards do not use such parts, so when IPS or SPS are used, the drivers are inside the package.
If you are scared of this VRM, i am using Asus B450M-K with a Ryzen 7 2700x with HyperX Predator 2x8GB 3200mhz, not a single problem (system is used 10h a day for the past 14 months, stable as rock)
im using asus prime b550m-a and the best part of it is how easy to install the cpu and the backplate is like a car lift and perfect and easy, never seen a board with easier install of cpu and thermal paste/cooler, 3600x/rx570
I have no doubt that the board is more than adequate for any AM4 chip that does (or will) exist, but I really have to question the accuracy of your temperature measurements... FLIR is a great way to get misleading numbers.
i bought this motherboard for my girlfriend but it was a ASUS PRIMA B550M motherboard with better heatsinks but for the rest the same she has ddr4 3600mhz in it with a ryzen 5 5600g and a gtx 1660ti its a flying machine mate it realy preformes well !!! she loves it and im realy happy
so i did not make a mistake in bying this to replace my old b450m? i mainly did it for the another m.2 slot. have ryzen 5 3600 and rx6800xt but gonna upgrade cpu to 5800x3d when i have money. oh and also i needed the SAM support
Yes! Dual 1gig lan would be much more useful than one 2.5gig, thank you for mentioning that. 2.5gig lan seems like a meme very few people will actually use due to the lack of cheap compatible hardware.

I'd be interested in a video on the asus pn50 when it comes out from this channel. It looks like you could make a good cheap dev system that could be stapled to the back of a monitor if you felt like it.
Could you please do a review of the Asus Pro WS x570-Ace? This board has very little in the way of reviews here on YT and really anywhere? It is weird to me because it is one of the only, if not the only x570 board marketed for workstation use and it is one of the few if not only boards I have seen on x570 at this level of features that isn't also a RGB rave party.
I'm new to this stuff and I tried to build a pc with this mobo. I can't understand how to get the WiFi working? Am I stupid? I thought it waa plug and play with the antenna. What am I doing wrong? Do I need drivers for it? Can't even find it I'm device manager.
If you read the manual, it specifically states that for 7.1 channel output, the Front Panel Audio header is re-purposed to output the Side channels) (I quote verbatim: * Choose the chassis with HD audio module in front panel to support 8-channel audio output.)

I managed to burn out a CPU cooler on this motherboard due to installing it wrong; connectors melted into the sockets and the cables burned, CPU broke too. But the motherboard took no damage thanks to the high quality Japanese surge protectors, so I just had to get a new CPU and a cooler. It's still working fine three years later. 😅
Does it have a 3pin 5v header for argb? Also, is this mobo ok for a Gigabyte 1660 Super oc triple fan? I also am getting a R5 3600. Im just trying to iron out the mobo before ordering everything. I already got the gpu. I need wifi 6 built in which it has and my original appeal to this board but wanna make sure its ok for my 1660 super triple fan.
I building a similar setup with an R5 3600 as well but goin with a dual fan asus gtx 1660 super instead. But yeah, I like this mobo because it’s the cheapest one with WiFi 6.
@@rainman11 Nice! Good luck on your build! Yeah I like this mobo alot too. Not many boards have the wifi 6 aka 802.11ax in the sub $150 price range and this board does and is only $129 which is hard to pass up. It seems like a great board especially for the price and at Micro Center if tou buy the cpu and mobo as a combo you get $20 off as well.
6:50 you literally have CPU cooler blowing air down on VRM cooling it down. if you had tower cooler VRM would get more toasty. also heatsink temp is lower than mosfets temp - thats the whole point of heatsinks. you should remove heatsink and check your info about 6 phases, its 4+2 = 6, not 6+2. and SoC temps have nothing to do with Vcore VRM temps. so this little block of aluminum is good for more than 10C especially if you blow air on it.
@@hoangd4132 Do you not use fans in your case? I have yet to see a single instance where someone uses a CPU like this in a zero-airflow situation as so many people suggest. Even the smallest amount of air going through your case is is plenty to cool down the VRM unless you're going stupid with it.
@@tim3172 most cases are sealed boxes that are good for cooking insides not ventilating it. e.g. those "beautiful" cases with rgb fans right behind impenetrable glass. of course there are also cases with mesh but filthy casuals don't like them much. most tower coolers blow air over those heatsinks right out of a case, so no incidental airflow whatsoever
I have the non-wifi version the prime one and currently have a 6900xt and it fits fin but I am using a (GPU holder?) Not sure what they're called but it came with the GPU so it's not leaning down on the end. And it even fits in my little cooler Master q300l. But now I'm upgrading my 2600x to a 5600x and I'm still confused on how to get the bios ready for the 5000 series chip. Do I still need to use a flashdrive to update it or can I just update the bios with the 2600x and then throw the 5600x in and update the chip?

I'd be interested in a video on the asus pn50 when it comes out from this channel. It looks like you could make a good cheap dev system that could be stapled to the back of a monitor if you felt like it.
This mobo is now $103.99 for amazon prime day!
my msi ventus 3060 3x oc is not fitting into this motherboard. Is there a solution or do i need to get a new graphics card?
Could you please do a review of the Asus Pro WS x570-Ace? This board has very little in the way of reviews here on YT and really anywhere? It is weird to me because it is one of the only, if not the only x570 board marketed for workstation use and it is one of the few if not only boards I have seen on x570 at this level of features that isn't also a RGB rave party.
People underestimate how much air cooling / case cooling can help Mobo VRMs. Downward draft coolers like the Wraith series alone can save a VRM lol.
Does this mobo support an AIO Liquid Cooler?
what a pleasant review!
Is this good for ryzen 5 5600x
can u solve? i need help with that
Thanks for the review. gonna put this with a 3070 and Ryzen 5000
Work out the box?
@@julianosorio2003 havent catch the 3070 for now. but is good with the 5 5600
@@josuebarrientos8834 Does OC work?
@@KORANTEC it works great i have bought this board and my amd ryzen 7 5800x works great at 4.7ghz with my asus tuf rx6700 xt
What cpu cooler is used in this video Becuase I’m having trouble finding a cpu cooler for this motherboard
Is it good for 5700x?
I have ASUS PRIME B550M-A Wifi II. are they good enough for Ryzen 7 5800X3D?
Is it better to get this mobo or an msi b450 tomahawk with a WiFi adapter instead? I need WiFi capability since my router is not in my room.
IMO the onboard WiFi is huge especially on a smaller board. Plus the 550 is better in the long run
Can you say is this mb has something like gigabyte qflash?
I'm new to this stuff and I tried to build a pc with this mobo. I can't understand how to get the WiFi working? Am I stupid? I thought it waa plug and play with the antenna. What am I doing wrong? Do I need drivers for it? Can't even find it I'm device manager.
MediaTek wifi driver
HI, can i run a Intel i7-4770 CPU on the asus prime b560m-k?
I replace MB after 10y and realized when you put CPU in socket you can't easily remove him .
I want to change the vram in them but i can't.can you help me?
I was considering this motherboard to pair up with my Ryzen 7 3800X and yes, I don't do overclocking nor I dare to do so. It should be fine, right?
Just got this MB for my Ryzen 5 5600X, and considering doing a slight overclock. Did you experience any issues with yours over the past months?
@@JonathanGuzmanDesigns did you have to update the bios for it to work? I'm getting "no signal" on the monitor
May I ask how you can run 7.1 audio through 6 channels? You only got 3 3.5" jacks there. 7.1 requires 4.
If you read the manual, it specifically states that for 7.1 channel output, the Front Panel Audio header is re-purposed to output the Side channels) (I quote verbatim: * Choose the chassis with HD audio module in front panel to support 8-channel audio output.)
See page 1-7 from this manual here: dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/PRIME_B550M-A/E16550_PRIME_B550M-A_UM_WEB.pdf
@@DuyLeNguyen I see, it can be done but through a janky solution.
I’m thinking of upgrading the 5600 to 5800X3D, I’m thinking this MB will handle it like it does my 6800
Is the Asus prime b550m-a wifi and Ryzen 7 3700x compatible?
yes
Will this board run VR and what’s the best cpu to use with the board, thanks
I have this mobo currently, can I run my 3090 on it ?
Some people by OC parts to underclock them and have a slient beast between their legs so they can compile rust code that takes 39 minutes w/ 8700k... now with 3950x.. 9min 12 seconds...
Does it automatically go into the bios on first startup?
Will the deep cooler ak400 cpu cooler fit on here? It seems to big but idk
is it ok if i use 5800x on this mobo if no overclocking? What Aio i should use for no overclocking?
Hey I know this video is more than a year old, but i'm planning to build using this board and the stock AMD wraith prism cooler, just like in this video. Does anybody know if there will be clearance issue for the ram stick nearest to the cooler? I've tried to watch this video a couple of times but couldn't find my answer. Thanks in advance. Great video
I’m new to pc building can I put this in a NZXT h510i
The H510i is compatible with ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX. Short answer - yes.
@@chrike01 thank you. isnt the mini itx boards rly small i dont see any way for a small board like that to be mounted
I managed to burn out a CPU cooler on this motherboard due to installing it wrong; connectors melted into the sockets and the cables burned, CPU broke too. But the motherboard took no damage thanks to the high quality Japanese surge protectors, so I just had to get a new CPU and a cooler. It's still working fine three years later. 😅
I have 80ohm headphones, is the audio codec no good?
Brilliant stuff 👍🏻
Does it have a 3pin 5v header for argb? Also, is this mobo ok for a Gigabyte 1660 Super oc triple fan? I also am getting a R5 3600. Im just trying to iron out the mobo before ordering everything. I already got the gpu. I need wifi 6 built in which it has and my original appeal to this board but wanna make sure its ok for my 1660 super triple fan.
I building a similar setup with an R5 3600 as well but goin with a dual fan asus gtx 1660 super instead. But yeah, I like this mobo because it’s the cheapest one with WiFi 6.
@@rainman11 Nice! Good luck on your build! Yeah I like this mobo alot too. Not many boards have the wifi 6 aka 802.11ax in the sub $150 price range and this board does and is only $129 which is hard to pass up. It seems like a great board especially for the price and at Micro Center if tou buy the cpu and mobo as a combo you get $20 off as well.
6:50 you literally have CPU cooler blowing air down on VRM cooling it down. if you had tower cooler VRM would get more toasty.
also heatsink temp is lower than mosfets temp - thats the whole point of heatsinks.
you should remove heatsink and check your info about 6 phases, its 4+2 = 6, not 6+2.
and SoC temps have nothing to do with Vcore VRM temps. so this little block of aluminum is good for more than 10C especially if you blow air on it.
yeah maybe even just put the system into a case instead of open test bench and it will start showing the problem
Most tower coolers provide plenty of incidental airflow.
@@hoangd4132 Do you not use fans in your case? I have yet to see a single instance where someone uses a CPU like this in a zero-airflow situation as so many people suggest.
Even the smallest amount of air going through your case is is plenty to cool down the VRM unless you're going stupid with it.
@@tim3172 most cases are sealed boxes that are good for cooking insides not ventilating it. e.g. those "beautiful" cases with rgb fans right behind impenetrable glass.
of course there are also cases with mesh but filthy casuals don't like them much.
most tower coolers blow air over those heatsinks right out of a case, so no incidental airflow whatsoever
ASUS TUF B550 is the way to go for 3950x. At least that’s what my TUF Plus B550 is telling me as it runs my 3950x overclocked to 4.2 GHz 🤔.....
This is the one thank you man 👊
Opinion on this with a ryzen 7 3700x & a GeForce 3700x graphics? And a cracken m22?
thats what im saying, i wanna buy this and run it with a ryzen 7 3700x a nvidia geforce 1070
@@12OunceProphet what i said is what i run right now, it runs amazing. Works well with the ryzen. My temp stays at 49 and below running tarkov and cod
is it am 5000 ready or will i need to do a bios update for ryzen 7 5800x
I have the non-wifi version the prime one and currently have a 6900xt and it fits fin but I am using a (GPU holder?) Not sure what they're called but it came with the GPU so it's not leaning down on the end. And it even fits in my little cooler Master q300l. But now I'm upgrading my 2600x to a 5600x and I'm still confused on how to get the bios ready for the 5000 series chip. Do I still need to use a flashdrive to update it or can I just update the bios with the 2600x and then throw the 5600x in and update the chip?
do you currently recommend this motherboard for a ryzen 5 5600?

Tengo un problema con esta motherboard hace unos días me llego y al abrirlo y todo conecte todo y actualice el bios a la última versión, resulta que no me deja instalar el Windows 10, y no se que hacer intente instalando Ubuntu y no hubo problema. Ya realice pruebas con otros componentes y la última opción es el Bios ya intente con varias configuraciones y nada aun ayuda por favor...
Ryzen 7 3700x
Radeon rx 460
Seagate Sata 500 gb
Corsair ram 8x2
Todo lo detecta en el bios y según Ubuntu todo bien pero no logro instalar Windows
Do you got it worked?
I bought this motherboard for ryzen 5 3600x . Can I overclock my ryzen 5 with this motherboard . There is no reviews than this video in UA-cam for this motherboard . So if anyone see this comment plz tell me did bought the correct motherboard or not
same i wanna know too
Anything is overclockable with the right cooling!!
What is the best CPU for this motherboard can you tell me please
Any 3rd gen ryzen really
Do I need a mini pc case or a medium pc case
does this motherboard work with pcie 3 gpu's? im in a tight budget and im choosing the msi gtx 1660 super but its pcie 3, would it still work?
PCIE4 is backwards compatible with PCIE3, so you shouldn't have any issues
@@TalonHawke thanks :D
Thanks for this video❤
