finally, someone decides to compare these two boards. BTW SPDIF optical out only supports 2 channels of uncompressed audio. The only other option is lossy Dolby Digital AC3-encoded 5.1 audio through that output, which incurs a latency hit and is an ancient audio format at this point. if you're outputting audio to a surround receiver of some sort you're better off using the GPU's HDMI output since it will actually support modern audio codecs like Dolby TrueHD/Atmos, as well as uncompressed multichannel audio up to 7.1.

Great point on the 5GB Ethernet port. Sure 5 is more than 2.5, but. You need a switch and or other device (NAS) to make use of it. There wasn’t easy to find specs on the Realtek 5 GB controller but it likely defaults to 2.5, but maybe 1GB.

Awesome channel, keep up the great work! Where can I find a link to tip you? 🤘💪
Ok, so it wasn’t just me… the whole time, I was trying to figure out what RAM he was actually using. I noticed on the x870e hero site’s QVL… the only listed >6000MT/s was the Kingston Fury Beast and Fury Renegade. So that’s what I got. I just snagged the Kingston FURY Beast 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200) Memory (Desktop Memory) Model KF564C32BBEK2-64. Before realizing there was a DDR5-6400 CL32 Expo on the official QVL, I was really close to pulling the trigger on the G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo or Flare X5, both DDR5-6000 CL30 Expo. I would also like to get 96GB total if possible, but through all the research and tradeoffs and level of effort necessary and uncertainties… I think you and I landed at similar conclusions, settling for pursuing the best in class available for 2x32GB.

Thinking of upgrading my 9900KS recently and going to AMD with the X870E Hero with the 9800X3D when it launches. I've got a 3090 with a 10GB nic card currently on my Hero XI board currently that I was going to move over to the new build. Am I going to lose performance by doing so, I thought going from x16 down to x8 wasn't really noticeable? Appreciate any input! Thanks
No, the best board is the one that has the least amount of issues with getting ECC ram functional. This board will boot with ECC udimms but doesn't seem to actually support that functionality.
Ok... So im debating on getting the new 9950x or wait for the 9800x3d... I have already bought the new x870e hero motherboard from Asus for overclocking reasons.... My question is this, with the new motherboard and the 9 series I can achieve 8200MTS with my DDR5 RAM. With this much of an improvement will the extra cache actually make a difference since the MTS can make up so much? Gaming reasons
Just finished my new build and my PowerColor Red Devil 7900XTX BARELY fit underneath that massive heatsink, I got a custom backplate for it that doesn't fit on top when installed horizontally because of the M.2_1 SSD heatsink
An itx B850 board with 8000MT/s RAM might be nice for SFF build with an APU... Damn, i wish AMD released that rumored 8 cores 32CUs Strix Halo APU on desktops as well. An Ultimate Emu box!.. or NAS, or both.
Why APU’s are garbage. There are small GPU’s that can easily fit in a mini ITX case. The 4070 FE is small and fairly powerful for that small form factor.
So stripping features (surround VCA) and increasing prices, this is a trend for Asus. And you might not want to add thermal pads to the back of the DIMM slots, a heat-sink is only effective with airflow, that entire back-plate could heat up with time and rather than pull heat away from the DIMM slots now the DIMM slots become the heat-sink for the back-plate. That back-plate is suffocated with zero airflow.

I've got a feeling that Asus is going to be hooking you up more after this. I never bought into all of the negative Asus hype. They've been the best in motherboards for like 30 years and also make the best routers.
Aren't you worried that it will break and Asus will claim it isn't covered under warranty? It doesn't have enough slots anyways - might as well buy a stock dell if you don't need slots.
X670E Aurous Master can do 8000 MT/S i think that and the extreme are the only 4 slotters than can acheive that. The x670e hero wasn't worth it considering the master was better.
Im waiting for Arrow lake reviews to decide but need to build a pc. Do you have to do a lot of fiddling in the bios and OS or can i just set xmp/(DOCP) and be done with it? As im looking into AMD im finding people saying things like turning core isolation on/off and having to use Process lasso.
I was interested until I heard the price... I, personally, think that no motherboard should cost over $400. I don't see the value in anything above that threshold...

I am sick of paid "influencers" who are masters in hardware , but aparently they promote extremely expensive motherboards with o TON of non usuabile features for a gamer or for day to day usage.

@Albumbrella that have nothing to do with the ideea of the video. You see , when you buy a 500+ mobo is definitely imperative to have the "most". But the question is how many will use that features?. A good review is based on comparation , and not "the best , because is the most expensive".

If you're open to questions: I recently bought this board. I still have to pick it up. I'm super confused by the nvme slots. Can I populate two of the gen5 m.2 slots and still get x16 for my gpu? I read the manual and I'm still unclear. Sorry, probably an easy answer. I know I can't do all three
Thanks for the video, love your channel🎉
Great point on the 5GB Ethernet port. Sure 5 is more than 2.5, but. You need a switch and or other device (NAS) to make use of it. There wasn’t easy to find specs on the Realtek 5 GB controller but it likely defaults to 2.5, but maybe 1GB.
Could you please do a AMD Gaming system build like you have on your recommended Parts List. I was thinking of the MSI X870E Carbon WIFI and the 9950x with G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series 32GB T38-48-48-128
I can do that yeah sure
@@FrameChaserson asus website the x870e hero appear to support higher clocked memory VS the x870e-e while that the two have that nitropath tech, would love to see if its actually true in practice or not especially for those that plan to build a system for longevity (primary gen5 slot reduced to x8 if you put a sound card or anything in that second gen5 slot)
@@AshtonCoolman thanks for the message ! i just saw that to conclude of the scam that is this nitropath tech, thanks god I waited and didn't bought that x870e-e, think I'm going with the strict minimum ram-motherboard wise since I plan to settle on a zen 6 16 cores ccx CPU hopefully (the latest amd turin cpus have 16 cores in a single ccx on their 3nm variants so that is promising !)
Great job, as always
Very nice. I'm surprised that the Hero series of boards has something you think it would be on the ProArt for content creators. Maybe a version 2 of the ProArt X870-E with the SaS port. Make an all out best of the best for content creating on one board. I feel the ProArt is very close but this shows there's a few improvements could be made yet.
Been a while since I watched... Is Jufes on his amd arc now???
Going AMD for workstation yeah, 9950X is the better tool for the job. Intel still faster in gaming.
@@J.king87 amd is more expensive, u can build intel for dirt cheap nowadays
HI. Frame Chasers.
I wanted to ask, with that SlimSas Cable connection, that you brought to my attention, could it also be suitable for a 10GB PCIE network card? Without eating lines at the first PCIE slot for the GPU.
Thanks for any confirmation.
Starting looking into my new build. What board would you recommend for non overclocking but enough usb ports?
loving the content, new and old. keep it up. how can we book consultations assuming its still a thing?
You have to get the course first, at the end of it there is a cheap consult link for people that still need 1 on 1 help after. I don’t do public consults anymore otherwise
Why not just use an x4 mini sas to oculink cable and attach that to an oculink pcie x4 board? Skip the nvme adapter.
I didn’t test it myself so I didn’t want to recommend it without knowing it works
I was lucky and found the X870E for 504$ compared to to X670E for 448$, both on amazon, so the choise wasn't that hard ;)
Awesome video brother! Gave a like and subscribed! 🤘🤘
What memory were you using to get those stable 7800 & 8000 numbers on your X870E? I just picked up the X870E and AMD 9950X looking to use them for gaming and workstation so I'm looking to min/max my total RAM and performance, I just ordered Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5 6000 CL30 AMD EXPO but I've been reading some ppl saying on reddit that G.Skill is more reliable for AMD EXPO overclocking and that 6400 CL32 is the sweet spot for AM5 mobo's so I'm contemplating ordering G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series (AMD Expo) DDR5 RAM 48GB (2x24GB) 6400MT/s CL32, G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 CL30, or Kingston FURY Beast 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400MHz CL32.
I really wanted to have 96GB of RAM for content creation and live streaming/gaming simultaneously (running Ableton live 12, Elgato capture, Streamlabs, TH-cam, Google Chrome etc simultaneously) but I think I'm going to have to settle for 48GB or 64GB total.
Awesome channel, keep up the great work! Where can I find a link to tip you? 🤘💪
Ok, so it wasn’t just me… the whole time, I was trying to figure out what RAM he was actually using. I noticed on the x870e hero site’s QVL… the only listed >6000MT/s was the Kingston Fury Beast and Fury Renegade. So that’s what I got. I just snagged the Kingston FURY Beast 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200) Memory (Desktop Memory) Model KF564C32BBEK2-64.
Before realizing there was a DDR5-6400 CL32 Expo on the official QVL, I was really close to pulling the trigger on the G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo or Flare X5, both DDR5-6000 CL30 Expo.
I would also like to get 96GB total if possible, but through all the research and tradeoffs and level of effort necessary and uncertainties… I think you and I landed at similar conclusions, settling for pursuing the best in class available for 2x32GB.

Here’s mine:
- Asus ROG x870e Crosshair Hero
- AMD Ryzen 9 9950x
- Asus ROG Ryujin III liquid AIO
- Kingston Fury Beast 64GB (2x32) DDR5-6400 CL32
- Crucial T705 M.2 PCIe 5.0 4TB

- Corsair HX1200i 80+ platinum
- SilverStone RM44
(That’s right… all this craziness… all to be hidden in a plain black box, rack mounted in a closet) 😉
Will be building this by the end of next week. Thinking about recording the experience, myself…
Thinking of upgrading my 9900KS recently and going to AMD with the X870E Hero with the 9800X3D when it launches. I've got a 3090 with a 10GB nic card currently on my Hero XI board currently that I was going to move over to the new build. Am I going to lose performance by doing so, I thought going from x16 down to x8 wasn't really noticeable? Appreciate any input! Thanks
great video man. IF you have the X670E-E, and HAVE the time i would really like to see how it compares to the X870 Hero :)
Damn good content as always.
No, the best board is the one that has the least amount of issues with getting ECC ram functional. This board will boot with ECC udimms but doesn't seem to actually support that functionality.
Ok... So im debating on getting the new 9950x or wait for the 9800x3d... I have already bought the new x870e hero motherboard from Asus for overclocking reasons.... My question is this, with the new motherboard and the 9 series I can achieve 8200MTS with my DDR5 RAM. With this much of an improvement will the extra cache actually make a difference since the MTS can make up so much? Gaming reasons
Nice information man. I hope next gen CPUs can utilise 8000mhz memory speeds.
The difference between 6000 and 8000 memory is less than a 1% frame increase. Keep drinking the amd Kool aid
Why choose the Pro Art over the Hero for a work station?
10g and better 5th gen m.2 support.
could u please tell me which to get tuf x670e or tuf x870???
what itx do you recommended
I have a 3090 water-cooled using EKs custom block that has an active backplate, will the SSD heatsink interfere with such backplate?
Just finished my new build and my PowerColor Red Devil 7900XTX BARELY fit underneath that massive heatsink, I got a custom backplate for it that doesn't fit on top when installed horizontally because of the M.2_1 SSD heatsink
An itx B850 board with 8000MT/s RAM might be nice for SFF build with an APU... Damn, i wish AMD released that rumored 8 cores 32CUs Strix Halo APU on desktops as well. An Ultimate Emu box!.. or NAS, or both.
Why APU’s are garbage. There are small GPU’s that can easily fit in a mini ITX case. The 4070 FE is small and fairly powerful for that small form factor.
hahaha what's up with the chode on the coffee mug?!
G.Skill have 9,000mt ram for the AM5 platform now
So stripping features (surround VCA) and increasing prices, this is a trend for Asus. And you might not want to add thermal pads to the back of the DIMM slots, a heat-sink is only effective with airflow, that entire back-plate could heat up with time and rather than pull heat away from the DIMM slots now the DIMM slots become the heat-sink for the back-plate. That back-plate is suffocated with zero airflow.
Wait, so you are going AMD on your build? I thought you were going to pass because of the 2nd CCD, lower-binned silicon issue?
He said workstation. 9950x is so good for productivity it's actually impressive af
@@jabronilifestyle I agree, my point was he said the CCD issue was an automatic no-go for him point blank, regardless of scenario I was just surprised he's going to use one, in whatever form.
@@MadClowdz The CCD issue was clearly an overreaction which he's realized and corrected. Why get pissy about the CCD when the 9950x overall is stupid fast? I get you want it to be even faster, but refusing to use a chip over it is weird lol
@@MadClowdz You're surprised he's using one, and I'm surprised someone WOULDN'T use one just because of the "CCD Issue" which I do not consider an issue because the CPU is retarded fast.
I just picked up the x870 crosshair hero. Can u tell me what thickness thermal pads to use for the backpkate memory channel? Much appreciated!
Ugh, the problem is its ASUS. As long as nothing goes wrong with it, you're golden. Woe to thee if you have to do a manufacturer warranty claim.
Bro how u got so many boards? You got a shop or something or asus gifted u them
Thank you!
Does using the SlimSas take away any m.2/sata/pcie slots?
No
All theae daughter boards might as well stick the capture card into the bottom slot of the x670e
I've got a feeling that Asus is going to be hooking you up more after this. I never bought into all of the negative Asus hype. They've been the best in motherboards for like 30 years and also make the best routers.
This is not the best am5 board!@ the best is meg x870e godlike !! 😡😡
Yes, agreed, but i'm trying to get Meg x870E Godlike since weeks - no chance. You can preorder for 1100USD on newegg though....
Aren't you worried that it will break and Asus will claim it isn't covered under warranty? It doesn't have enough slots anyways - might as well buy a stock dell if you don't need slots.
X670E Aurous Master can do 8000 MT/S i think that and the extreme are the only 4 slotters than can acheive that. The x670e hero wasn't worth it considering the master was better.
My rog strix x670e-e will do 8200 with those ram but it's 1:2. So really only 4100. I can do 6000 1:1 on it and it's faster.
i did buy the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Hero its the better deal it can use all m2 nothing getting cut away
you gonna try the MSI X870E GODLIKE?
Does that addition for the capture card add latency?
Im waiting for Arrow lake reviews to decide but need to build a pc. Do you have to do a lot of fiddling in the bios and OS or can i just set xmp/(DOCP) and be done with it? As im looking into AMD im finding people saying things like turning core isolation on/off and having to use Process lasso.
bummer about the tos audio i actually use those extra ports for my thumperooni
Lets hope that jufes declares that 9800x3d doesnt dip
Can I buy those ddr5 heatspreaders only? I want them, but not the memories, I have pretty good ones already.
Wonder what kind of performance uplift we could get if the motherboard had binned ddr5 modules attached directly by smd?
Finally ASUS sent him some gear 🎉🎉🎉🎉
What ram modules are used at this test?
Does the Asus X870E-E model right below the Hero also have the slim sas connector?
i need that coffee cup
I was interested until I heard the price... I, personally, think that no motherboard should cost over $400. I don't see the value in anything above that threshold...
In my country it costs 800€ vs 600€ for x670e chipset. I will never buy a motherboard for that price.
Ive been waiting all week for this video thanks youtube for not giving me the notification but thank you to my work for unmonitored shit breaks so i can watch it 🤣
as a x670e hero and 7950x3d owner i think i will wait and see if the x870 burns the CPU again haha
I have the 9800X3D on a MSI Carbon X870E ----- I want 48Gb's 8000 Mt/s GSKILL NEO 5 DDR5 CL40 ---- is it ok to get this??? Thanks
man i have question, if i by pro art mb and i install 1) nvme in top slot 2) gpu with waterblock 3) soindblaster ae9 4) 4k capture card. is that gonna work or no ?
This my second time watching your wonderful video.
I realize now that the second you said AMD is your choice I felt waves of joy over my Team Red MAGA body.
You're power conserving and benevolent. Be my Shalomie.
I promise not to harm PC Jesus. I use Corsair Rog Strix x570. Aren't you and I supposed to be looking at the X890 ?
Before we continue discussing the best option, please don't forget to consider the Asus Rog X670E Gene! 😎
just because its the most expensive board don't mean it's the best board. lol.
It does for my affiliate links
@@FrameChasers so you get one free to say its best? if so how fair is that to us consumers ? wouldn't that be misleading to us ?
It’s a joke dude
@@FrameChasers ok. I think the best x870e board is between 2 "consumer reality boards" as in priced and feature and performance. first the taichi board for the vrm overkill and features and the msi carbon wifi for performance. and the msi being "REAL" wifi 7. I like the asus products but I don't like their prices. to me there is just no justification to me as to why everything that company makes is way over priced. but to each our own as they say. there's a seat for every ass and a ass for every seat. I just ordered the 9950x with the x870e carbon wifi. it will be replacing my old x570s ace and 3900x. In reality I didn't even have to upgrade yet because as old as this board is it still plays everything i throw at it. but I liked your review I wish alot of people would review like you just did here. keep up the good work.
@@XlegendsX71This channel focuses on the best not budget stuff.
I rlly need to know this: on the MSI MPG X870E CARBON WIFI, there is a 3rd PCIE 4.0 slot. I was planning on putting my 4K PRO capture card in that 3rd slot. But I was just wondering, does this also take lanes from the 1st PCIE (Graphics Card) slot? I want to know if it in any way affects the Graphics card? (I'm getting the 4090).
love asus's new memory profile
This is pretty sweet, nice job asus!
i see you with the delidded AM5 CPU on your wall (I'm guessing that's the 7800x3d you broke delidding?)
Yep, souvenir
I am sick of paid "influencers" who are masters in hardware , but aparently they promote extremely expensive motherboards with o TON of non usuabile features for a gamer or for day to day usage. I am sick of "gamers" who buy top of the line of CPU-s and GPU-s and they want to "overclock" them. Good job.....
You don’t want people to get the most out of their hardware?
@Albumbrella that have nothing to do with the ideea of the video. You see , when you buy a 500+ mobo is definitely imperative to have the "most". But the question is how many will use that features?. A good review is based on comparation , and not "the best , because is the most expensive".
