- AMD X870 and X870E motherboards have finally landed, and in this video, I take a deep dive into the ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming WiFi to see whether the wait was worth it.

Of course it can be used for more than gaming. It's a computer. For an 870E board it has a low PCIe slot count and even with that being the case they still cripple the first PCIe slot.
How are they crippling the first slot? because of the 2x8 option? The secondary PCIe slot's position isn't an issue for me since I rarely ever use them, but I should've definitely mentioned it - thanks for pointing that out.
Wow ❤
I think it is worth it x870e because this is exactly what I was missing for more than 10 years, always having problems with USB ports buying cheap motherboards.
This is the reason why these motherboards cost so much.
Haven't had all that many issues with the built-in ports on my boards. The ports on my cases though... those always seem to suck.
@@TheTechTank On cheap motherboards I think they share bandwidth with USB 3.0 and above, which when you try to populate all possible USB + SATA + PCIE they start to turn off without reason or lower their speed. Have you tried to populate all the USB ports on an old cheap motherboard?
Can’t get 128GB (4x32) to post on the X870 Hero mobo with the latest BIOS 0505. I sure hope Asus gets this fixed faster than they did with the x670 version.
Check the manual, I don't think populating all four slots is supported yet on any X670E/X870E. The max I've seen is 3 x 48GB but that runs in single channel mode. Maybe the best option would be 2 x 48GB and add more in future if supported.
Can't wait to see the 5800X3D of this generation.
Sounds like we won't be waiting long! Haven't heard from my sources yet, but rumors point to as soon as this month 👀
Anything can be worth it for the right price.
These are not the right price.
Would it have killed them to throw in another PCIe card slot?
There's a secondary all the way at the bottom, but yes that's a weird choice on their part now that I think about it.
@@TheTechTank I need three slots although I prefer 4 because I put a cooling card between the bottom two and use the blade holder in the back to support a second cooler
They are asking way too much money for this board. The lighting is too understated here. Looks would be the main reason to go for a x870e board over its predecessor. And this just doesnt do it
At least this is an X870E board unlike the X870-F and X870-A and look at the prices for those....
Fair.
thats the worst ROG logo ever...
i bought the x870F
Solid board. How much did you pay for it?
@@TheTechTank R10k at wootware
@TheTechTank I am busy upgrading my new PC. It will be a full ASUS Strix build. I was looking to get the X670E-F, and then the X870F came out for R500 more.
@@sn3ke124 Sheeesh, that's got me feeling like it's upgrade time 👀
@@TheTechTank indeed. My case is the rog hyperion case. Black. :)
I have ROG Crosshair VIII Hero, but this looks like crap! I just bought MSI X870e Carbon for the same price as this catfish. It LOOKS WHAT! ALL M.2's ARE Toolless no screwdriver needed, nor small screws to drop into MB when changing M.2's like on this Strix monstrosity, Get it together ASUS without us having to spend $700 for a good-looking MB like the HERO's, you made me buy elsewhere.
I have been building with ASUS only since 1998.
Harsh, but fair enough. Purely aesthetically the Carbon doesn't do it for me as much personally, but the toolless heatsinks for all of the slots are a big win. The screws on the heatsink I removed in the video are captive - they won't be falling straight into your PSU (which has happened to me a couple of times 😅).
Ich habe das x670e e Gaming und habe zurzeit 2x 980 pro 2 und 1tb drin und eine 980 pcie 3.0 1tb. Soweit ich weiß wenn ich noch eine m2 rein mache egal ob 3.0 oder 4.0 oder 5.0 wird die Grafikkarte nur mit x8 laufen wtf?? Ich dachte nur bei 5.0.
my x670e have tdp to 105w for 7800x3d... :D:DDD lolollool ITS E-ATX MB
Ooh, good catch! Think I forgot to mention in the video that the option rolled out for X670 too 🥳
Short answer : No
my man, I just subscribed - but please, talk a bit slower, dial that elgato propmpter down. Or I am too old
If I was using an Elgato one there probably wouldn't be an issue 😂 The app I use has turtle or hare speeds with nothing in between, lol. I'll have a look around for a free app with granular control!
Appreciate the support, man!
