We're all laughing at the notion of a B*50 ITX board costing 90$, but I'd like to remind everyone that my ITX B350 cost 70 and is still rocking my 5800x3d daily.
Which is pretty crazy considering the inflation levels we've had for the past half a decade and the fact that DDR5 support and lga socket are more expensive by default.
More like its because the board is gonna burn your house down if you keep your computer open at night while you sleep and send you to hell for buying chinese garbage and funding communism.
@campas7182 what I mean is, are there any brands that are high quality with reliable support? I think a lot of us are tired of the usual gigabyte, asus, msi... etc. It'd be nice to know if there's an alternative of similar or better quality out
I’m remember when 90 bucks for a motherboard was if not high end at least mid range. And 40-50 bucks was low end. I’m glad to see reviews for cheaper options but I personally don’t buy computer parts on aliexpress as I prefer to have proper EU warranty. It’s good you mentioned fan headers. I’ve noticed that when buying budget boards the lack of fan headers makes cooling difficult. Like on my H610 motherboard for my 12400F.
@@remstesthd6784 Those i7s would use around 100 watts, this B650 can easily provide that, as Steve said. And don't forget there has been inflation so 90€ then is like 120€ now, which gets you the Asrock B650M-HDV which is better than those Z87s.
LED vomit and heat trapping plastic structures aren't cheap, and that Wifi chip that only people who love lag spikes use isn't free. Once you add in those 17 fan headers you're just lucky the put a CPU socket on it.

Afaik AMD mandated BIOS flashback support via USB for all B650 and up mainboards (don't know about A620 though) to avoid the exact problem of having to install an older CPU just to flash the BIOS as part of their commitment to platform longevity. Part of why AM5 became generally more expensive than AM4. That board not having features mandated by AMD would be enough of a reason for me to steer clear of the manufacturer altogether. Other than that I completely agree with Steve - AM4's history + AM5 being a well rounded platform is all the reason you need to get a good quality board and be happy with it for years to come. I might've overdone it a "little" with my X670E Taichi Carrara, but I do not regret it one bit. 😊
I think that perhaps testing a more mainstream AliExpress brand like Soyo might provide more positive results. I would also be interested in seeing you test a Biostar B650 motherboard because I think it's the most underrated brand in the world. My first motherboard (back in 1988) was a Biostar Baby-AT design and it worked just great. The fact that Biostar still exists today just shows that even thought they're not a big player in the West anymore, they're not junk because they have persevered over the past 40 years. There are a lot of well-respected brands who cannot say the same like BFG and EVGA.
I am using this board personally as my 2nd rig. Managed to work on 7500f and 7800x3d. The RAM that works is Kingston Renegade 6400 CL32 and Adata Xpg Lancer Blade 6000 CL30, both were using SK Hynix chipset. so far no issue for almost 3 weeks
What is your current bios version? im using 7800x3D 32x2 CL 3000 6000mhz G Skill and couldnt use memory up over 5200, tried also with corsair vengeance, did you use any specific ram configs or just EXPO profile? wondering if change board will solve my issue or not.
Save another month or two and get something where you can rely on the RMA process to work. Taking a gamble because you're strapped for cache is always a bad idea as the potential loss will sting like effing heck.
AM5 is a still a young platform with 1 gen so far, so it's worth investing in a decent board to ensure that it holds up until the platform fully matures and beyond even.
Online marketplaces (ali-express, amazon, etc) needs a system that counts clearly fake reviews as 1 star. They wouldn't do this as crap rated products don't sell as well and they don't get their cut on unsold product. but it would be nice.
I remember buying an asrock H810 board back in the day for $20 new. Used it with my leftover i3-6100T (which was also worth like $20) and an old GTX1050Ti and I got myself a very capable low end gaming machine.
i use this board, its a great board. just make sure to update the bios to the latest version straight out the box. Been using this brand from am4 and now am5. never had any issues with them. literally 0 issues. I've made 17 rigs with jginyue boards now. customers are happy with the competitive price too.
Are all fully working? USB, audio, PCIE, all stable? None have failed? They seem to be one of the best as far as no-name brands go, most of the others are trash. (Like Huananzhi, Kllisre, Machinist, etc)
it doesnt support usb flashbacks. Website provides uptodate bios for download. I have not gotten any returns from my customers, so i can only assume that all the boards are working great.
@@yotoprules9361 I have not gotten a single return from my customers up to this date, i can only assume all of them are working great. The website also provide up to date bios available for download. I can only say i am very impressed. The only problem is warranty issues if u ever need one. I personally cover the warranties for my customers myself, but i have not ran into a returns yet.
It is better to buy combo set (Ram + Mobo + / CPU) from same listing rather than multi listings. I bought the 5700G set few years ago with one of the 8GB sticks DOA, the seller sent me 2x8GB sticks replacement completely free & arrive in 2 weeks (3-4 days for refund process - upload lots of photos).
Yesterday I grabbed this board and a Ryzen 7 7700 for $251 after a $40 discount coupon from Aliexpress. Hoping this helps keep my room cooler compared to my current 11900KF Z590 Strix PC. This summer in Florida has been absolute hell with the humidity this year!
Hola chicos, tengo una duda pero no sé mucho sobre computadoras para ser honesta, es posible usarlo tal cual llega con un R5 7600x? O hay que actualizarlo?
I have one of these with a 7500f both from Ali. It's true about the ram stability is annoying. After trying all-sorts, I eventually manually changed my cl30 expo profile speed to 5600 and left the timings and it works. It was annoying. You can update bios from the boot menu in bios. The pbo etc works well. It's super stable other than no love for 6000mhz . It was either a 5800x3d or this motherboard ram and a 7500f for the same money. This is cheaper and faster. Just buy one.. hehe
If I can request one more AliExpress board, it would be nice to see what you think about the Colorful CVN B650M FORZNE V14. The company seems like they have a decent enough history with boards and graphics cards, and getting PCIe 5.0 on the x16 slot would mean I could probably hang on to the one single board through AM5. Thank you for all you do!!
Colorful seems to make decent stuff, and their support actually responded to me (albeit not quickly) when I contacted them about my older Intel 10th/11th gen B560I Frozen series board (ARGB header was not supporting the full number of LEDs on my fan, and they sent me a ARGB update). If you're just building a simple system then I can say my experience has been fine.
I have the one. Its BIOS stands between the 4-brand mobo and this video`s mobo. I mean there are more overclocking features and other settings but some are missed: some memory timings, no overclocking profiles, no 3-pin cooler management (only 4-pin PWM), mobo sensors show weird secondary temperatures. I.e. the 4-brand mobos do not have those issues obviously (or much less). As for hardware I ought to say the colorful mobo is great and looks very cool. I can overclock my 32 GB up to 6400 MHz with 1:1 ratio (or simply activate EXPO 6400 profile), my R7 7700 with PBO or by fix. And of course, I purchased it on nice price at Ali. Moreover I have the Colorful RTX 3090 Vulcan card.
Recently considered the B550i version and noted in very small print "No wifi included, have to buy separately" on every Ali store lol But they lies a question which version would it accept, no info given. Decided to buy used MSI B550i Gaming Edge from Ebay UK. Less risk when you read the text & view the photos imo plus updates aplenty! Glad you reviewed this brand if only to confirm my thoughts.👍
Hey Steve, I have no common sense. The slide at 9:19, top bar has the value "69", but the rest of the bars show the Celcius notation. By chance this is showing 69°C? Or maybe it's measured in Farenheit, Kelvin, or maybe even average energy lost per second of a kangaroo? Maybe we need to use the sum notation "Sigma" , terms 1 - 69 and the rest of the bars is a segment of this sequence?
I also asked the support if future AM5 CPUs will be supported by this board. The answer was and I quote: 'will supported'. And nothing else. So maybe yes and maybe not I guess at least. Thanks for the review!
Having done a build in the Jginyue B760i Snow Dream, it wasn’t bad. Lacked featured but at least XMP worked out of the box. RGB control was non existent however and the bios layout was messy.
@@Hardwareunboxed Your evaluations of value and the motherboard market are gold. I know who I will be watching to see the new Ryzen put through it's paces!
The Tower 100! I have a custom loop system in that case, had a Scythe Ninja 5 in there before that, case is great showing off and building either type of system.
I generally expect 3+ fan headers for a PC (CPU, intake, exhaust), but I assume this type of board is for small form factor with only exhaust. 👍🏼 Weren't it for the memory compatibility, it would seem great for that use case. Aside from warranty, with products for the Chinese market we are also unsure how they stand up to legislation in our region, e.g. CE & RoHS in the EU or RCM in Australia or FCC in the USA. Igor's lab was able to buy products with arsenic and electrical fire hazards just fine from Ali Express. 😅
If you got basically no warranty, i wonder if a used motherboard would be a better fit for this price. Sure, suspect usage, but still top tier features and top tier bios support.
I think it'll be good if you test this board with lower end CPUs maybe with the 7500f? or even the 7700. Will then have a better picture of what it will look like for people who are going to budget option route but want to go with an ITX build.
You should take a look at Maxsun MS-Challenger B650M Wifi next, you can get it at the same price and it actually comes with wifi, better BIOS, and better support
What people don't talk about is that this board also has a good quality sound card. And having optical connection is a bonus for 5.1 surround( if your surround doesn't have hdmi input ) if you want to decode the best sound like Dolby digital, DTS digital..
Hmm have to agree. Do not skimp on the MB. $50 USD is nothing when you consider the difference in a one level up CPU or GPU. Interesting board. I have a Chinese Mini ITX AM3 bought a few years back. Used it with integrated graphics and even stuck a 1070 on it with a riser. THX for the review. I was waiting for it after you mentioned it was coming.
4:40 get yourself a JIS (Japanese industrial standard) driver. (its Philips but straighter sides so it wont cam out. (JIS drivers work on both JIS and Philips screes.. but a Philips driver cannot be used with a JIS screw (you will strip it easy)) I only have JIS drivers now. they really are amazing. if you never tried on, you must... feels good man.
i use a lot of aliexpress and i always jut leave reviews without anything written, just the star rating. doesnt mean there arent bots, just one data point
I’ve paired this board with a Ryzen 7 8700F with 32gb of oloy blade ddr5 6400mhz and have 0 issues. I also have the am4 version of this board the b550i-gaming and never had an issue with the 5700X3D. They improvements they’ve made are noticeable as well. The am4 board didn’t have argb headers and this one does.
Another great option for budget b650 with is the CVN B650m Frozen V14 for $145. A lot of feature at a lower price. I just bought a bundle with 7500f for just $300.
"Welcome to Jank Unboxed. I'm your host Steve" :P Poking fun aside: It's always easy to spend other peoples money with good advice, but if you're really really hamstrung for cash, don't gamble. Keep saving until you can buy something where RMA's will be handled properly. The dud-rate on entry level products IS higher than on the mid-range and premium stuff, so it becomes extra important to have "insurance" if you simply can't afford a loss.
The discolored pins in the CPU socket may be an indication of sloppy plating. If so, corrosion over time may lead to system instability, especially in humid climates.
To be fair the components and PCB quality has probably improved by leaps and bounds. I am also not getting the sense that the motherboard manufacturers are making Nvidia levels of margin on their products.
It may be a couple dollars but here in Asia it makes a bigger difference when you're penny pinching and it's good enough to pair with a R5 7500F. Still, the AM4 platform is a lot more affordable.
am using a Soyo B550 Monarch Dragon board for my 2nd rig (Ryzen 5 5600). So far it's been great except for the initial issue with updating the BIOS (the seller did not update the BIOS for me. Had to do it myself but i screwed it up coz everything is in mandarin! Had to asked an expert to restore everything back). Am aware that the "current" Soyo has nothing to do with the original Soyo, but am riding a bit of a nostalgia wave with my "Soyo" board. Hope you guys could review the new "Abit" board too.
I love cheap stuff. I would actually buy this, but pair it with an equally cheap 7500F. I'm almost certain that the 7500F and 7700 users are the target audience for this. Jank is love, jank is life.
Honestly, would immediatly buy it, if it wasnt 130€+ here from germany. Would tinker with the vrm heatsink, maybe check if I can inject the new agesa code into the bios. Its cheap enough to be a fun project, and looks decent enough to be daily when all works out
I'm curious about how well the Maxsun Challenger B650M WiFi, another cheap Chinese AM5 motherboard, would perform in your tests. Other reviews indicate that it has a limited BIOS , similar to the JGINYUE, but has a slightly better VRM and comes with a WiFi card preinstalled, so is decent for the price.
Considering all AM5 motherboards ship with MediaTek WiFi cards, this one coming without one but an empty space to put yours is a vast improvement. I've had to replace WiFi basically in all my AMD AM4 and AM5 machines to Intel or Qualcomm cards. Even my £500+ motherboard (Asus ProArt X670E Creator) has absolutely dogshit wifi 😂 thankfully Intel AX210 can be had for £10 from Ali but replacement is a hassle (have to take out motherboard entirely because screws are on the backplate side)
@@cloudnine5651 If you buy a $90 product and have to sped 4 hours to get it working correctly instead of spending $130 on a product that just works, you just spent a bunch of time working 10 bucks an hour. My time is worth more than that.
can't find any niche or use case to buy this over an Asrock. If i'd try really hard, I would just buy to test if this will survive more than 6 years of continous operation
Ive noticed when window shopping that amd boards seem to cost more and have less varieties than intel, wonder if thatll ever change with how well amd is doing lately. Or maybe im just blind idk

Literally just bought a $30 b350 + 1600, obvious this is some low quality b350 but it works just fine with the 5700x3d.
R7 5800X3D pulls "only" 108W compared to R9 5950X 120W or R9 7950X 251W according to GN EPS12V rail test, so it is not too demanding for VRMs.
My tomahawk b350 is also running 5800 - it's third cpu in this board - and for audio it will last me 5 more years easy.
AM4 platform will go down as one one of the finest platforms ever produced for the PC enthusiast - AMD's big comeback was god-tier stuff
Which is pretty crazy considering the inflation levels we've had for the past half a decade and the fact that DDR5 support and lga socket are more expensive by default.

@@MrInosensei Yes. you can find the latest bios and instructions on their website.
Are all fully working? USB, audio, PCIE, all stable? None have failed? They seem to be one of the best as far as no-name brands go, most of the others are trash. (Like Huananzhi, Kllisre, Machinist, etc)
it doesnt support usb flashbacks.
Website provides uptodate bios for download.
I have not gotten any returns from my customers, so i can only assume that all the boards are working great.
@@yotoprules9361 I have not gotten a single return from my customers up to this date, i can only assume all of them are working great.
The website also provide up to date bios available for download.
I can only say i am very impressed.
The only problem is warranty issues if u ever need one.
I personally cover the warranties for my customers myself, but i have not ran into a returns yet.
It is better to buy combo set (Ram + Mobo + / CPU) from same listing rather than multi listings. I bought the 5700G set few years ago with one of the 8GB sticks DOA, the seller sent me 2x8GB sticks replacement completely free & arrive in 2 weeks (3-4 days for refund process - upload lots of photos).
I hope you get well soon. Thanks for the review.
Awesome work Steve. You know what we like, keep going!
Yesterday I grabbed this board and a Ryzen 7 7700 for $251 after a $40 discount coupon from Aliexpress. Hoping this helps keep my room cooler compared to my current 11900KF Z590 Strix PC. This summer in Florida has been absolute hell with the humidity this year!
I did the same lol, excited for my new build. Which ram are you pairing it with? Mine is the Juhor 16gbx2 6400mhz.

Hola chicos, tengo una duda pero no sé mucho sobre computadoras para ser honesta, es posible usarlo tal cual llega con un R5 7600x? O hay que actualizarlo?
@brigitteotaro9858 Ya viene listo para Ryzen 7000 pera si quires usar Ryzen 9000 hay que actualizar el BIOS
I have one of these with a 7500f both from Ali. It's true about the ram stability is annoying. After trying all-sorts, I eventually manually changed my cl30 expo profile speed to 5600 and left the timings and it works. It was annoying. You can update bios from the boot menu in bios. The pbo etc works well. It's super stable other than no love for 6000mhz . It was either a 5800x3d or this motherboard ram and a 7500f for the same money. This is cheaper and faster. Just buy one.. hehe
Working great with my Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 CL30-38-38-96 1.35V, same CPU as well.
Waiting for the update on the B650E-i ROG Strix to decide on my next mobo
If I can request one more AliExpress board, it would be nice to see what you think about the Colorful CVN B650M FORZNE V14. The company seems like they have a decent enough history with boards and graphics cards, and getting PCIe 5.0 on the x16 slot would mean I could probably hang on to the one single board through AM5. Thank you for all you do!!
Colorful seems to make decent stuff, and their support actually responded to me (albeit not quickly) when I contacted them about my older Intel 10th/11th gen B560I Frozen series board (ARGB header was not supporting the full number of LEDs on my fan, and they sent me a ARGB update). If you're just building a simple system then I can say my experience has been fine.
I have the one. Its BIOS stands between the 4-brand mobo and this video`s mobo. I mean there are more overclocking features and other settings but some are missed: some memory timings, no overclocking profiles, no 3-pin cooler management (only 4-pin PWM), mobo sensors show weird secondary temperatures. I.e. the 4-brand mobos do not have those issues obviously (or much less). As for hardware I ought to say the colorful mobo is great and looks very cool. I can overclock my 32 GB up to 6400 MHz with 1:1 ratio (or simply activate EXPO 6400 profile), my R7 7700 with PBO or by fix. And of course, I purchased it on nice price at Ali. Moreover I have the Colorful RTX 3090 Vulcan card.
Recently considered the B550i version and noted in very small print "No wifi included, have to buy separately" on every Ali store lol But they lies a question which version would it accept, no info given. Decided to buy used MSI B550i Gaming Edge from Ebay UK. Less risk when you read the text & view the photos imo plus updates aplenty! Glad you reviewed this brand if only to confirm my thoughts.👍
Hey Steve, I have no common sense. The slide at 9:19, top bar has the value "69", but the rest of the bars show the Celcius notation. By chance this is showing 69°C? Or maybe it's measured in Farenheit, Kelvin, or maybe even average energy lost per second of a kangaroo? Maybe we need to use the sum notation "Sigma" , terms 1 - 69 and the rest of the bars is a segment of this sequence?
Don't forget to Enable Above 4G Decoding as well and enabling resizable bar to get full bar size.
I would have noted that but Enable Above 4G Decoding is enabled by default.
@@Hardwareunboxed Oh I see I misread it as disabled but it was the only thing enabled in that page of the BIOS. 🤣🤣
those colored front panel pins are really cool for visual interpretation, I wish more motherboards did that
Good to know. Now can we see the ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-I GAMING WIFI ?
I also asked the support if future AM5 CPUs will be supported by this board. The answer was and I quote: 'will supported'. And nothing else. So maybe yes and maybe not I guess at least. Thanks for the review!
Would be nice if you could test the colorful boards next. Their specs look really promising for the price they come at.
Yeah I'm lookinbg at that next, I have a Maxsun B650 atm.
Yes, it would nice to see the HU review for Colorful or Maxsun mobo.
love the mb content, thanks Steve
Getting a really cheap board from a good brand is much different than an ally express Chinese brand no ones ever heard of. Interesting video!
There's another chinese brand Maxsun with seemingly okay B650 motherboards. Can you test them too?
I have some videos on it, in my current build.
@@AlexHusTech Alright, thanks brother. I'll check them out
That thing is power limited to 135watt & has weaker vrm
Having done a build in the Jginyue B760i Snow Dream, it wasn’t bad. Lacked featured but at least XMP worked out of the box. RGB control was non existent however and the bios layout was messy.
Nothing beats the Microcenter deals here in the US, if your lucky enough to have one close by that is
Price is not alway the most importance. Warranties and suport on hardware parts is VERY IMPORTANT!!
Agreed and covered in the video.
@@Hardwareunboxed Your evaluations of value and the motherboard market are gold.
I know who I will be watching to see the new Ryzen put through it's paces!
😶
Now cool mod the board with pastes, pads and putties AS WELL AS heat sinks, brackets etc and test it.
I've been waiting for this exact review, thank you so much!
Just put a extra nice fan facing the board at all times to keep it cool and most likely it will be fine.
The Tower 100! I have a custom loop system in that case, had a Scythe Ninja 5 in there before that, case is great showing off and building either type of system.
I generally expect 3+ fan headers for a PC (CPU, intake, exhaust), but I assume this type of board is for small form factor with only exhaust. 👍🏼
Weren't it for the memory compatibility, it would seem great for that use case.
Aside from warranty, with products for the Chinese market we are also unsure how they stand up to legislation in our region, e.g. CE & RoHS in the EU or RCM in Australia or FCC in the USA.
Igor's lab was able to buy products with arsenic and electrical fire hazards just fine from Ali Express. 😅
The cheapest B650 Board in Germany is the Biostar B650MT for 85€.
And the very recommendable ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 cost only 124€ atm.
I trust this channel’s opinion with tech with my life
RIP
Steve's basically collecting b650 boards like Pokemon at this point, gotta catch them all
This is the best MB Review channel on Y.T EVER. hello from Tarpon Springs Florida

I've seen weirder things in Florida than at Area 51
@@toseltreps1101 bewm got his ass
If you got basically no warranty, i wonder if a used motherboard would be a better fit for this price. Sure, suspect usage, but still top tier features and top tier bios support.
I think it'll be good if you test this board with lower end CPUs maybe with the 7500f? or even the 7700. Will then have a better picture of what it will look like for people who are going to budget option route but want to go with an ITX build.
You should take a look at Maxsun MS-Challenger B650M Wifi next, you can get it at the same price and it actually comes with wifi, better BIOS, and better support
I bought a cheap B350 AM4 board 7 years ago for $75 and now have a 5800X in it. Still going strong.
What people don't talk about is that this board also has a good quality sound card. And having optical connection is a bonus for 5.1 surround( if your surround doesn't have hdmi input ) if you want to decode the best sound like Dolby digital, DTS digital..
I think it's because the onboard sound ain't selling this board.
3.5mm jack or optical are only 2.0 true sound. Any conversion to 5.1 is either a program on the computer or an amplifier/DAC you are running to.
Yes you will need compatible Soundsystem to play digital like Dolby. They will only decode 5.1 if you use optical or hdmi..
Hmm have to agree. Do not skimp on the MB. $50 USD is nothing when you consider the difference in a one level up CPU or GPU. Interesting board. I have a Chinese Mini ITX AM3 bought a few years back. Used it with integrated graphics and even stuck a 1070 on it with a riser. THX for the review. I was waiting for it after you mentioned it was coming.
There is Jingyue B650m gaming PLUS for 69USD，locals don't really recommended it for high end builds. For china board warranty, it's in china only.
4:40 get yourself a JIS (Japanese industrial standard) driver. (its Philips but straighter sides so it wont cam out. (JIS drivers work on both JIS and Philips screes.. but a Philips driver cannot be used with a JIS screw (you will strip it easy)) I only have JIS drivers now. they really are amazing. if you never tried on, you must... feels good man.
4:55 never thought I'd need an impact driver for a motherboard screw, but here we are
i use a lot of aliexpress and i always jut leave reviews without anything written, just the star rating. doesnt mean there arent bots, just one data point
I’ve paired this board with a Ryzen 7 8700F with 32gb of oloy blade ddr5 6400mhz and have 0 issues. I also have the am4 version of this board the b550i-gaming and never had an issue with the 5700X3D. They improvements they’ve made are noticeable as well. The am4 board didn’t have argb headers and this one does.
Im thinking about cheaping out and getting one. My current MB is 8 years old lol. One of these is like half the damn price
@ imo it’s definitely worth it.
Regarding RAM stability, it is not the bios, it's the cheap 4ss slots. Take out the RAM, and re-seat it. Set the timings to 30-38... and you'll see.
Hey this is a great review of the Ryzen 9600X, 9700X, 9900X, and 9950X today!.. oh.. wait
Its always a gamble buying one of those boards.
Would have been nice for you to tell us or put up on the screen exactly what size screwdriver bit you need to undo the M.2 heatsink.
I want one of those LOTES backplates. They are way stiffer than the ones I usually see on budget boards.
Another great option for budget b650 with is the CVN B650m Frozen V14 for $145. A lot of feature at a lower price. I just bought a bundle with 7500f for just $300.
I bought a maxsun a520 motherboard off aliexpress for $50 a while ago and paired it with a 5600. Never had any issues.
"Welcome to Jank Unboxed. I'm your host Steve" :P
Poking fun aside: It's always easy to spend other peoples money with good advice, but if you're really really hamstrung for cash, don't gamble. Keep saving until you can buy something where RMA's will be handled properly. The dud-rate on entry level products IS higher than on the mid-range and premium stuff, so it becomes extra important to have "insurance" if you simply can't afford a loss.
Are there still any plans to purchase/test the Asus Strix B650E-I Gaming WiFi as mentioned in the first ITX AM5 video comments?
Can you review the Maxsun B650M WiFi also costs $90
The discolored pins in the CPU socket may be an indication of sloppy plating. If so, corrosion over time may lead to system instability, especially in humid climates.
whats with hardware unboxed's obsession with B650 motherboards , i get these videos all the time in my timeline and everytime its different video
A decent B650 motherboard is the best-value board for the HUB target audience.
B650 is the best new product in the market right now.A620 is too basic,X670 too expensive and Intel should be avoided at all costs.
Biostar motherboards seem to be a great budget pick. @HardwareUnboxed I’d love to see them included more in test videos.
I remember when you could get a quality board from a known manufacturer for half the price. Bring back the mid-2000s!
Problem is Inflation is a thing they'll respond that this "Half the Price" was actually more expensive
If your benchmark is the mid 2000s and it was half, then the peice is the same. If your standard is 2018-2020, then yeah fuck these prices
To be fair the components and PCB quality has probably improved by leaps and bounds.
I am also not getting the sense that the motherboard manufacturers are making Nvidia levels of margin on their products.
we were also earning half as much
@@stennan Unless you are talking 9 segment displays for troubleshooting they have vanished on cheaper boards
It may be a couple dollars but here in Asia it makes a bigger difference when you're penny pinching and it's good enough to pair with a R5 7500F. Still, the AM4 platform is a lot more affordable.
I hate that $90 is the cheapest option nowadays, but I'm super glad I didn't go down that route build my pc.
B650E-I when?
That's the one I use!
am using a Soyo B550 Monarch Dragon board for my 2nd rig (Ryzen 5 5600). So far it's been great except for the initial issue with updating the BIOS (the seller did not update the BIOS for me. Had to do it myself but i screwed it up coz everything is in mandarin! Had to asked an expert to restore everything back). Am aware that the "current" Soyo has nothing to do with the original Soyo, but am riding a bit of a nostalgia wave with my "Soyo" board. Hope you guys could review the new "Abit" board too.
I used these many times in my flip builds, have many videos on the Soyo and Maxsun builds.
@@AlexHusTech I don't normally like self-promotion in comments, but your channel is actually relevant to the topic, so I'll check it out.
@@AlexHusTech yupe actually I've commented in your video about the Soyo Dragon Monarch Mobo months ago too. Great video !
@@djlim4612 Ah okay :)
Yeha, I don't think the saving is enough for the wacky warranty and software support.
I love cheap stuff. I would actually buy this, but pair it with an equally cheap 7500F. I'm almost certain that the 7500F and 7700 users are the target audience for this.
Jank is love, jank is life.
Honestly, would immediatly buy it, if it wasnt 130€+ here from germany. Would tinker with the vrm heatsink, maybe check if I can inject the new agesa code into the bios. Its cheap enough to be a fun project, and looks decent enough to be daily when all works out
No plans to buy a board this cheep but I'm here for it
I'm curious about how well the Maxsun Challenger B650M WiFi, another cheap Chinese AM5 motherboard, would perform in your tests.
Other reviews indicate that it has a limited BIOS , similar to the JGINYUE, but has a slightly better VRM and comes with a WiFi card preinstalled, so is decent for the price.
nope, its power limited to only 130 watts with a weaker vrm
Got a b550 for 120€ amd i use it with a 5900X.Zero problems for over a year now.
Fair assessment of the motherboard
Considering all AM5 motherboards ship with MediaTek WiFi cards, this one coming without one but an empty space to put yours is a vast improvement. I've had to replace WiFi basically in all my AMD AM4 and AM5 machines to Intel or Qualcomm cards. Even my £500+ motherboard (Asus ProArt X670E Creator) has absolutely dogshit wifi 😂 thankfully Intel AX210 can be had for £10 from Ali but replacement is a hassle (have to take out motherboard entirely because screws are on the backplate side)
i wonder if Steve will be so exited for the next gen B series boards
The time needed to get this thing working is worth more than the cost savings.
what savings? it was fuckin $90.
@@cloudnine5651 If you buy a $90 product and have to sped 4 hours to get it working correctly instead of spending $130 on a product that just works, you just spent a bunch of time working 10 bucks an hour. My time is worth more than that.
Thank you for the review
can't find any niche or use case to buy this over an Asrock. If i'd try really hard, I would just buy to test if this will survive more than 6 years of continous operation
Ha! that website and motherboard Reminds me of my early 2000s experiences building with ECS, Jetway, etc 🤣
Ive noticed when window shopping that amd boards seem to cost more and have less varieties than intel, wonder if thatll ever change with how well amd is doing lately. Or maybe im just blind idk
