@@frankwong9486 Sure but utilizing all 4 slots with DDR5 tanks memory speeds hard. Current gen CPUs be that Intel or AMD has pretty weak controllers when it comes to 4 dimm usage for example you will be lucky if you can achieve 6000mhz, 5600 is more likely to be the max

Why cant Asus make a Proper X670E/X870E White motherboard with all the features, instead they have to make None E white Board, most people would stick with Asus, but instead have to go to Gigabyte for a proper X870E white Board like the new X870E AOURUS PRO ICE.
@hdz77 Okay, Danke. Ich dachte ich bin der Einzige der so denkt. Natürlich muss der Preis am Ende auch stimmen. Wozu mehr zahlen wenn es die Konkurrenz günstiger hin bekommt bei gleicher Ausstattung.
Nice overview, but just 2 SATA ports and all that PCIe lane sharing??? I'd rather have just 1 PCIE 5.0 NVME + 3 PCIE 4.0 drives without all that bifurcation stuff.
Yeah the bifurcation stuff feels like a classic example of form over function, to be able to put it on paper that the board comes with two Gen 5 M.2 slots but at the expense of something else... That said, this lane sharing situation seems to be a thing with higher-end X870E and X870 boards from other brands too, and I'd say that this is due to chipset design limitations - with AMD making USB4 a compulsory feature, manufacturers have got to route some PCIe lanes to the USB4 controller, thereby contributing to this bifurcation situation!
I personally haven't really had such an experience, though I suspect for instances where end-users experienced lengthy boot times, it could be due to older BIOSes that might not be optimised for the latest high-speed DDR5 modules!
Are you referring to the screws that hold the motherboard in place within the PC case? If so, no it doesn't - such screws are usually supplied by the PC case manufacturer (i.e. when you buy a new PC case, the case manufacturer includes screws for motherboard mounting purposes).
I also have a question for you who know how to answer me. To this, the main board for connecting power supplies CPU 6+2 2 plugs. If I don't do oc, I have to connect all 2 moves 6+2 or I can connect only 1 to work in the parameters.
I've not personally used a PC with just one 8-pin CPU connector plugged in, but theoretically it should work fine with just one 8-pin CPU connector plugged in especially if your processor doesn't draw that much power and if you're not overclocking. What processor are you/will you be using with the motherboard?
That's right, if you wanna avoid any form of lane sharing, you can install a drive each in M.2_1 and M.2_4 - these are the only two slots that have no lane sharing at all!
Looking at the specs sheet, both boards are largely similar, though with the Gigabyte board you mentioned, you do get one more PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot - but it comes with all that PCIe lane sharing stuff that will affect your graphics card slot's bandwidth. Personally, I'd prefer an all-white board for an all-white build, and the Gigabyte has white components too compared to the ASUS. In any case, I'd have to compare prices between both boards before making a decision!
Yeap - have your first NVMe installed on M.2_1, and your second NVMe drive either on M.2_3 or M.2_4. Do note that if you have a drive installed on M.2_3, the full-length PCIe 4.0 x16 slot will be disabled entirely, which is important to note especially if you need to install say, a streaming/capture PCIe card etc.
Yup you can - this configuration of SSDs will not impact the GPU slot's bandwidth! But do note if you choose to install the PCIe 4.0 SSD on the third M.2 slot (M.2_3), the full-length PCIe 4.0 x16 slot will be disabled entirely.
Using a sound card in the second PCIe 4.0 x16 slot that operates at x4 mode won't affect the bandwidth of the primary PCIe slot for your GPU, but you will have to sacrifice the third M.2 slot, M.2_3, as it shares bandwidth with the said second PCIe slot!
@@napalmarsch it really depends - how many M.2 SSDs are you intending to use in your system? Granted, X670E boards seem to have no/little instances of PCIe lane sharing; in the absence of pricing info for X870E and X870 boards, I'm guessing that X670E and X670 boards are probably gonna get cheaper and could offer better value too, but do bear in mind you won't get features like faster memory support and USB4 support. Perhaps wait till 30 Sept for pricing details to be available, before making a decision!
@@napalmarsch I see! anyway the performance difference between running your GPU at x8 mode versus x16 mode is not going to be very big - there's some benchmark videos/articles out there that demonstrate the difference in performance when the PCIe lanes for a graphics card gets cut in half - by and large there is some performance degradation, but the percentage drop in performance tends to be in the low single-digit range or even negligible for that matter. For the everyday user/gamer, he/she is probably not going to notice any performance impact while gaming!
Hi, quick question. I want to build my first PC with this motherboard. Now I have heard that on some motherboards there can be problems on the first boot up because they can’t find any wifi networks. Does this happen on this motherboard as well? Have a good day!
Hey there, it sounds like an issue of not having the WIFI drivers installed - when installing Windows for the first time there usually is a way to bypass needing an Internet connection, continuing with the Windows install and booting to the desktop, where you can then install the appropriate WIFI drivers to gain Internet connectivity. Hope this helps!
i have x670e for future upgrade it has x4 pcie 5.0... and i do not understand why i need x870 ? why they made do i get uplift FPS ? nope Can i get better latency on component? No one knows
As far as I can tell, the only reason to get a X870E/X870 board is if you need USB4, and you're upgrading from an older platform (e.g. AM4). Otherwise, a X670E board will suffice, seeing as it already supports Ryzen 9000 and potentially even Zen 6 (assuming Zen 6 is still on AM5)! I highly doubt that there will be any performance improvement at all when comparing X670 and X870!
Wifi 7 and USB4 that's it nothing more. Some higher end X670E boards already has USB4 like my ROG Hero so other than WIfi 7 it doesn't offer anything new for AM5. (and you can always replace your on-board wifi card later on so yeah.)
@@kerotomas1 yeah, I guess with the X870E and X870, it was about making USB4 available across the entire range, even for "lower-end" X870 motherboards. I personally think X670E and maybe even B650E boards will still offer better value for some time to come, until they go EOL and are no longer available new!
Ich kann absolut nicht verstehen warum es von Asus kein White-Build X870 Board mit Diagnostic LED (Segmentanzeige) gibt und nur Diagnostic LED (LED-Indikatoren) verbaut sind. Weder das X870-A noch das ASUS ROG Strix X870-F sehe ich als realistischen Nachfolger des B650E-E Das ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming WIFI in weiß und es wäre das perfekte Board für mich wenn ich mich mit dem Preis noch anfreunden könnte. Es ist aber einfach zu teuer.
Valid points, especially if the double-digit debug LED is something that you'd use frequently (e.g. if you're into overclocking and might find that a handy feature to have) - do you use this feature often, or its more of a nice-to-have? That said, if you're looking for a properly nice-looking white-coloured X870 board with a double-digit debug LED, perhaps Gigabyte's X870E AORUS PRO ICE might be for you...but it's not exactly a cheap board!
@@ALKtech Ich denke ich werde die CES 2025 abwarten und hoffen das vom B650E-E ein gescheiter Nachfolger kommt jedoch in der Farbe weiß. Das Gigabyte habe ich bereits gesehen.
Keep an eye out for the upcoming Intel Arrow Lake motherboards with the 800-series chipsets, I'd think mobo manufacturers would have more white variants for these new Intel boards!
Yup, if you already have a X670E/X670 motherboard, there's absolutely no reason to "upgrade" to a X870E/X870 motherboard, even though the X870E and X870 support faster DDR5 speeds too. Getting a X870E/X870 would probably be more for folks upgrading from older platforms such as AM4!

as far as i understand if i install me2 ssd to the second pcei gen5 slot the gpu bandwidth drops to x8 is that correct.
Yup that's right!
So i should install my second NVME on the m.2_3 slot so it doesnt take bandwidth from the gpu right?
