I've been using this board for three month now. I paid $259.00 at Micro Center paired with a 14700k and G. Skill 32GB 7200Mhz. I saved $250 by not getting the Z790 Aorus Master. The board has been great so far. 02/19/2024 2003
@@KleoYan Thanks for the response. I received my NVIDIA 4080 Super about two weeks ago. I need to install the GPU bracket that came with the motherboard.
@@MyJman37 hi welcome to my channel. At the very begining, this board was not so popular and everyone is sceptic about ASRock as compared to ASUS. however more and more good feedbacks, comments and recommendation of this board, therefore the price raises. My friend got this board when it was not popular, that's why the price is cheaper.
I just want to leave a comment to say your video was the most comprehensive and instrumental teaching tool I found to learn and make my build with this MB. Very well explained, expressed, and structured. It made referencing easy and I was able to find the specific information I needed in a breeze. Highly appreciate the time you took to make this and highlight this awesome product! Thank you. 😊
Very few people actually go into the BIOS and explain some functions. I am grateful for that, as I just ordered this motherboard and will be building a PC around it over the next couple of months.
excellent overview on the motherboard. you do a good job and the time spent on this really shows. was thinking of maaaaaaaybe getting this mobo, but now seeing this I feel very confident in picking it up. thank you, keep it up bro!
@@KleoYan thank you! one question I don't remember did you answer in this video was that can you change to led colors of the mobo? the fan on top AND the lights on bottom? you probably can, but want to make sure!
@@iamsellek yes you can select which header the ARGB is connected to ARGB1 to 3. For motherboard effects it does by I/O , PCH, and such. All these ARGB can be done within the UEFI without install polychrome in windows.
Give Credit where it's due , honestly the way u explain things makes it easier to figure out , example, is you explaining the functions of the pin , and what they do like the the thunderbolt and the debunk, thanks a lot for the knowledge u put out here and also ASRock , i will say have started getting my attention , the way they built this board , for someone who wants to build a pc and use for 15 plus years ,i like the tech they did implement here , especially the 4pin behind the Gen5 Ssd , which i think will be a good idea for those purchasing the Gen 5 ssd heatsinks that comes with fans , and more is the cooling of the board and components and more to that adding 3 temp sensor probes itself in the package , something other manufactures like asus will add just the pin out (1 to their board )and never even give u the sensor itself . nice content and look forward for more
Hi Blb Hansel, welcome to my channel. Wow! Greatly appreciated your kind words and to share your feedback with us. I got to agree ASRock keeps improving, they seems to pay lots of attention not only on looks but the way they have engineered these boards. Though there are some hit and miss but these does not compromise the performance. My friend have been using this board right after I build a system and return back to him. Till now he is enjoying it 😂. Once again thank you 😉
Mate, this would have to be the best motherboard review, I have been watching PC hardware reviews on TH-cam since people started posting, and building PCs for over 25 years. I have never seen anyone go into such detail. I just bought this board because my z690 Hero has issues, and was looking for a new board with a lower cost. I found this board, and looked at the specs, and thought why bother with ASUS or Gigabyte, when this has all the features. Jumped on TH-cam to see what people had to say, found this video lol.
Hello Computerbytes, welcome to my channel. Thank you for your feedback, I am glad you like my content. Lets just say that I am just like yourself, a PC builder who wants to know about everything before buying an equipment😉All the best with your build too.
Hi King_Franz, welcome to my channel and I am glad this content did aid you. Thank you for your valuable feedback and all the very best with your build too 😉
This is the best MB review that I have ever seen!🥁 This is also good for me since I have this board coming. Now I already know how to navigate the bios... Thanks 👍-- I will miss the CMOS reset pins also because I have a button outside of the case that i use to perform this function...
Hi Bass Player, welcome to my channel. Congrats on your purchase, do remember to update your board bios with the microcode 0x129 and to follow the intel specific power limit. info here www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000099569/processors.html .Thank you for the visit and all the very best with your build too. 😉
Excellent review of this motherboard! Wow! So detailed and thorough. I bought this board based on several very positive reviews, but this one was the most informative. Everything is covered in a logical and very thorough manner. Nicely done...thank you so much!!!
How are you liking the Nova? Gonna get the i7-14thgen (kicking around i9, but I'm just gaming) and I keep coming back to this Mobo...but man there's so many options!!
@@JayKoe-uv5kyhi and welcome to my channel. I just love this board as it has the bells and whistles of what I needed. The m.2 slots, able to compile large content videos in a short time as such. Temperature is rather low and am using a 14700k on this board.
@@JayKoe-uv5ky Hi! I really love this ASRock Nova Motherboard! I have NO issues with it. It has all the features I wanted, and looks great too (with tasteful RGB lighting). I have previously used boards from Asus, Gigabyte and, most recently, EVGA. In fact, when I recently moved my custom, water-cooled PC to a new case, I switched out my EVGA board for this Nova board. To be honest, I never really needed the EVGA board, and lack of support going forward was a bummer. I have watch several of Kleo Yan's videos on different ASRock motherboards to gain a better understanding of the UEFI features (the features are very consistent). He does a really good job explaining everything, which is helpful since this is my first experience with ASRock. I have watched this particular video multiple times in order to dial in the BIOS. In fact, now that it is more familiar, I really like the ASRock UEFI - it's well thought out and easy to use. For example, I was easily able to set my radiator fan curves based on the coolant temperature using the T1 sensor header. I have my case fans set to ramp on the internal case temperatures using the T2 and T3 headers - easy! Currently, I have an I9-13900K sitting with restricted power limits (due to the recent instability reports, but not experienced by me personally). I also have the CPU undervolted by 100 mV (as recommended in the video). The rest of my base system features an AMD 7900XTX (water-cooled), and 64 GB of G-Skill memory (running with the standard XMP profile). It runs cool and rock-steady. I have not had a single crash, even under heavy benchmark runs and during game play. As mentioned, there are plenty of M.2 slots, which is great! No complaints - in my opinion, the Nova is a full-feature board at a great price point!
Hello Kleo Yan, I’m interested in another not unimportant question: do I need to update the BIOS for the Intel Core i9 14900K so that the motherboard can see it?
Hi Sergey, by default you can just plug a gen 14th processor but I would advise to update the bios to the latest before installing windows. Thats my normal practice 😉
It was very important for me to know that this board will accept the i9 14900K processor if it is installed in the board without updating the BIOS, the question is just now which processor to buy, either i9-13900K or i9-14900K, of course I want to take the latter, but there were doubts that the board would not support it will see, that’s why I was interested in you, your opinion was very important to me since you already have experience with this board and processors in terms of their compatibility
I finally got the motherboard following your suggestion and other youtubers. It is indeed a great board and I suggest it as well. I disagree with you about the placement of the cmos button. It is easily accessible and does not require a tool to be pushed.
@@ideabagja hi welcome to my channel. It’s at 2mm thick. For me I will get 2.5mm gelid gp-ultimate thermal pads as they are soft and not hard as compare to Thermaltake Odyssey.
Hi KY, hope you are well, quick question, will the uefi and everything seen here be the same for AMD ryzen, 😮 Hey I ordered the king bank 6400 ddr5 from your last video, should be here end of October 😅. Ty for the vid.
@@Takeme_DCUO hi welcome to my channel. If your KingBank support both XMP and EXPO profile. Be it Z790 or the X870E nova, it will show two profiles. Just like what I show you in the KingBank content. Just active the profile accordingly to the processor you are using. In your case is EXPO profile.
@@KleoYan haha ty ty, what I meant was is all the tweaker menus, oc menus and all the uefi stuff look the same for amd, obviously without the intel stuff lol. I like the colours and stuff of the uefi. Think I'll end up with the Taichi as I want to future proof and teach myself all it's OC capabilities. Ty for your response.☺
i was thinking of updating the firmware to the latest bios. I have 14 gen intel cpu and the updates comes with a lot of fixes on cpu microcode and optimize intel on bios default setting. Do i still need to change the secure boot mode to "custom" so i wont have issues updating bios? is it even worth updating if my current bios version is good?
Hi Ed T, welcome to my channel. Yes there are lots of fixes but I find it slower on bios version 8.04, so I roll back to version 7.01, the choice is yours. I advise you to do a clear cmos, boot to windows first. then shutdown and perform biosflash back or the UEFI flash.
Hi Broo, Cool Vid, actually I'm considering getting this motherboard. When I would insert an rtx 4090 for example would it take the space of both PCIe slots? And if I add an rtx 4090 I cannot use the 1-2-3 M2 SSD slots? Is that what you mentioned? Otherwise does the M2 SSD fit under those heatsinks in the slot or I have to remove them if I use the M2 slots?
Hello Janos Antal, welcome to my channel. You won’t cover the second PCIe slot if you place a RTX 4090. As for m.2. I mentioned that if you plug the very first slot with a GEN 5 m.2. Your GPU that is plug to the 1st PCI-e slot will not run at x16 speed. Instead it will run at x8. And if you have only GEN 4 m.2, you are advisable to plug them at slot 2 to 6. You will not have any issues to plug m.2 without any heatsink to all the slots. The amour shield will seat nicely.
Hi itsmohan_m, welcome to my channel. For your case. This is what I will do If no post and having error code 65 1) Plug only 1 Ram stick on A2 ram slot. If it works swap the ram stick. if both works, perform the same but this time on B2 ram slot this is to narrow down if your rams or the slot might be faulty. 2) If you have done 1) and still no post, reseat your CPU. if still not able to. go to a IT store and see if they can plug a CPU to test your components. if 1 and 2 does not work after swaping the CPU. get the IT shop to use another PSU. if it still does not work, then motherboard could be faulty.
@@KleoYan noticed that bios version on the board is 4.13, but in the ASRock website for i9 13900k it is showing version 1.39. I don't know how to update without bios flash option.
Hi Kleo , 1. You said it supports lga 1700 and lga 1851 does that mean it supports upcoming intel cpu? Arrow Lake-S and Lunar Lake-S? 2. If I install gen4 m.2 in gen 5 slot at what speed will my gpu work? and what happens if gen5 gpu release and if I install one , will there be any problems?
Hi Srivatsav V, welcome to my channel. 1) it's incorrect .. it should be only 1700 and not lga 1851, my bad. and 2) if you install a m.2 gen 4 on the gen 5 m.2 slot, your GPU will work at 8X not 16X. As for GPU if it's at 5.0 on the PCI-E 5.0 slot, it will run at 16X and if you have place both PCIE-5.0 and Gen 5 m.2 slots, then your GPU Gen 5 will run only on 8x not 16x.
Hi, Nice review - thanks for sharing However, I still have no idea how to connect old 5.1 surround speakers (jack) to just the Microfon in and speaker out ports. Where do I need to plug them in?
Hi Daniel G. , welcome to my channel. Do pardon me, this I am not too sure either as I dont use 5.1 surround speakers, plus I only use Audio interface with just a stereo monitor speakers. you might want to ask at ASRock reddit forum www.reddit.com/r/ASRock
Hi JB197804, welcome to my channel. Have you tried running one stick to a slot and boot? Try that to check if all ram slots works and follow by changing each stick. This will narrow down if ram slots is faulty or a ram is faulty. Also ram slots work in pairs which is B2 and A2. B1 and A1.
Great review! You showed so many things that others reviews did not show! One question: You said, the prints are on stickers and not on the metal itself. If i want the mainboard to be complete black i can just remove the stickers? Because i want an all black mainboard. This sould be possible or not?
Hi Dany1337, welcome to my channel, do pardon me if my content is too lengthy and thank you for your kind words. As for the plastic sticker, it’s up to you, you can choose to remove them but warranty will be void if you not able to paste them back for RMA.
Hi Crimson, welcome to my channel. Don't mind me asking, which washer mode are you referring to? if it's just like the ASRock X570 Taichi mod which I have done. There is no need too as the backplate comes with the thermal pads between the back of the VRM and the backplate. As for the chipset, it runs cool.
@@KleoYan the washer mod is to put 1mm washers underneath the socket retention bracket in order not to bend the cpu and keep it cooler. It offers the same function as the contact frame you installed in the other nova board you showed in the video. th-cam.com/video/KdD42ruJ4zE/w-d-xo.html

I just subscribed and liked every video..Pls I want to ask one question probably only you could answer..I want to build with this exact Motherboard with the exact same build as your Lancool 3 & Arctic 420mm video. Will this Motherboard have a problem with the Arctic 420mm aio inside the Lancool III
Hi David RegaL, welcome back. If it's based on the actual structure and measurements of the Lancool III case which I have reviewed a year ago. I have mentioned on my Lancool III content, the height clearance is at 45mm (motherboard rear I/O + motherboard standoff height). This Nova board rear I/O is at 45mm, and if you mount it, it will exceed. I strongly do not suggest this. Don't get yourself stuck in a situation where you got the case + 420 Liquid AIO and you can't use it.
@@KleoYan Thank you! I guess I have to go with a full tower build, it's a bit sad that Lancool III won't allow to adjust the motherboard further down inorder to not disturb the Arctic 420mm aio..

Hi rvfalk, welcome to my channel. It greatly depends what are your needs. If you require thunderbolt port, then go for the TaiChi Lite, more M.2 slots, then go for this Nova. Both these do not have 60w fast charging. I personally will grab this nova over the Taichi as the cooling is far better than Taichi also if the price is cheaper at your end. Nova will be the way to go.

Hi Kleo 👍 The omission of a BIOS flashback button on a high end MB like this is not ideal. Manufacturers are constantly releasing new BIOS updates these days with security and compatibility fixes. A flashback function is a must at this price point.
Hi Wayne Hughes, welcome back. You are absolutely right. I was wondering too, why both motherboards does not have a Bios Flashback button? also for Nova, no clear cmos button which is weird too. Other than that the price point for Nova is attractive if it's at SGD $439, due to the cooling and such. But now as i've checked, newegg is selling Nova at SGD$484 and riptide at $406. If that's the case and if I am building a new rig, I will just go with riptide. Consider my friend lucky to get it at SGD $439 for the Nova, it's a steal.

I just want to leave a comment to say your video was the most comprehensive and instrumental teaching tool I found to learn and make my build with this MB. Very well explained, expressed, and structured. It made referencing easy and I was able to find the specific information I needed in a breeze. Highly appreciate the time you took to make this and highlight this awesome product! Thank you. 😊
Hi Frank B., welcome to my channel and thank you for all your kinds words. All the best with your build 😉
Very few people actually go into the BIOS and explain some functions. I am grateful for that, as I just ordered this motherboard and will be building a PC around it over the next couple of months.
Hi Travis Rice, welcome to my channel. Thank you for your valuable feedback, greatly appreciated it.. All the best with your build too. 😉
excellent overview on the motherboard. you do a good job and the time spent on this really shows. was thinking of maaaaaaaybe getting this mobo, but now seeing this I feel very confident in picking it up. thank you, keep it up bro!
Hi Ismsellek, welcome to my channel. I am glad you like my content and all the best with your build too 😉
@@KleoYan thank you! one question I don't remember did you answer in this video was that can you change to led colors of the mobo? the fan on top AND the lights on bottom? you probably can, but want to make sure!
@@iamsellek yes you can select which header the ARGB is connected to ARGB1 to 3. For motherboard effects it does by I/O , PCH, and such. All these ARGB can be done within the UEFI without install polychrome in windows.
Give Credit where it's due , honestly the way u explain things makes it easier to figure out , example, is you explaining the functions of the pin , and what they do like the the thunderbolt and the debunk, thanks a lot for the knowledge u put out here and also ASRock , i will say have started getting my attention , the way they built this board , for someone who wants to build a pc and use for 15 plus years ,i like the tech they did implement here , especially the 4pin behind the Gen5 Ssd , which i think will be a good idea for those purchasing the Gen 5 ssd heatsinks that comes with fans , and more is the cooling of the board and components and more to that adding 3 temp sensor probes itself in the package , something other manufactures like asus will add just the pin out (1 to their board )and never even give u the sensor itself . nice content and look forward for more
Hi Blb Hansel, welcome to my channel. Wow! Greatly appreciated your kind words and to share your feedback with us. I got to agree ASRock keeps improving, they seems to pay lots of attention not only on looks but the way they have engineered these boards. Though there are some hit and miss but these does not compromise the performance. My friend have been using this board right after I build a system and return back to him. Till now he is enjoying it 😂. Once again thank you 😉
Mate, this would have to be the best motherboard review, I have been watching PC hardware reviews on TH-cam since people started posting, and building PCs for over 25 years. I have never seen anyone go into such detail. I just bought this board because my z690 Hero has issues, and was looking for a new board with a lower cost. I found this board, and looked at the specs, and thought why bother with ASUS or Gigabyte, when this has all the features. Jumped on TH-cam to see what people had to say, found this video lol.

How are you liking the Nova? Gonna get the i7-14thgen (kicking around i9, but I'm just gaming) and I keep coming back to this Mobo...but man there's so many options!!
@@JayKoe-uv5kyhi and welcome to my channel. I just love this board as it has the bells and whistles of what I needed. The m.2 slots, able to compile large content videos in a short time as such. Temperature is rather low and am using a 14700k on this board.
@@JayKoe-uv5ky Hi! I really love this ASRock Nova Motherboard! I have NO issues with it. It has all the features I wanted, and looks great too (with tasteful RGB lighting). I have previously used boards from Asus, Gigabyte and, most recently, EVGA. In fact, when I recently moved my custom, water-cooled PC to a new case, I switched out my EVGA board for this Nova board. To be honest, I never really needed the EVGA board, and lack of support going forward was a bummer. I have watch several of Kleo Yan's videos on different ASRock motherboards to gain a better understanding of the UEFI features (the features are very consistent). He does a really good job explaining everything, which is helpful since this is my first experience with ASRock. I have watched this particular video multiple times in order to dial in the BIOS. In fact, now that it is more familiar, I really like the ASRock UEFI - it's well thought out and easy to use. For example, I was easily able to set my radiator fan curves based on the coolant temperature using the T1 sensor header. I have my case fans set to ramp on the internal case temperatures using the T2 and T3 headers - easy! Currently, I have an I9-13900K sitting with restricted power limits (due to the recent instability reports, but not experienced by me personally). I also have the CPU undervolted by 100 mV (as recommended in the video). The rest of my base system features an AMD 7900XTX (water-cooled), and 64 GB of G-Skill memory (running with the standard XMP profile). It runs cool and rock-steady. I have not had a single crash, even under heavy benchmark runs and during game play. As mentioned, there are plenty of M.2 slots, which is great! No complaints - in my opinion, the Nova is a full-feature board at a great price point!
gen5 slot compatible with gen4 m2. like other generations to downward works as well
Hi Antares_A, welcome to my channel. thank you for the info.
Hello Kleo Yan, I’m interested in another not unimportant question: do I need to update the BIOS for the Intel Core i9 14900K so that the motherboard can see it?
Hi Sergey, by default you can just plug a gen 14th processor but I would advise to update the bios to the latest before installing windows. Thats my normal practice 😉
It was very important for me to know that this board will accept the i9 14900K processor if it is installed in the board without updating the BIOS, the question is just now which processor to buy, either i9-13900K or i9-14900K, of course I want to take the latter, but there were doubts that the board would not support it will see, that’s why I was interested in you, your opinion was very important to me since you already have experience with this board and processors in terms of their compatibility
@@sergey5138 Hi, this is a refresh z790 board which comes with the 14th Gen bios, therefore it will be by default accepting 14th Gen processor.

i was thinking of updating the firmware to the latest bios. I have 14 gen intel cpu and the updates comes with a lot of fixes on cpu microcode and optimize intel on bios default setting. Do i still need to change the secure boot mode to "custom" so i wont have issues updating bios? is it even worth updating if my current bios version is good?
Hi Ed T, welcome to my channel. Yes there are lots of fixes but I find it slower on bios version 8.04, so I roll back to version 7.01, the choice is yours. I advise you to do a clear cmos, boot to windows first. then shutdown and perform biosflash back or the UEFI flash.
@@KleoYan will do. thank you
@@edt4062 you are most welcome and all the very best with your updates.
Hi Broo,
Cool Vid, actually I'm considering getting this motherboard.
When I would insert an rtx 4090 for example would it take the space of both PCIe slots?
And if I add an rtx 4090 I cannot use the 1-2-3 M2 SSD slots? Is that what you mentioned?
Otherwise does the M2 SSD fit under those heatsinks in the slot or I have to remove them if I use the M2 slots?
Hello Janos Antal, welcome to my channel. You won’t cover the second PCIe slot if you place a RTX 4090. As for m.2. I mentioned that if you plug the very first slot with a GEN 5 m.2. Your GPU that is plug to the 1st PCI-e slot will not run at x16 speed. Instead it will run at x8. And if you have only GEN 4 m.2, you are advisable to plug them at slot 2 to 6. You will not have any issues to plug m.2 without any heatsink to all the slots. The amour shield will seat nicely.
installed i9 13900K showing error code 65, how to resolve this? also there is no option to flash bios in the board itself.
Hi itsmohan_m, welcome to my channel. For your case. This is what I will do
If no post and having error code 65
1) Plug only 1 Ram stick on A2 ram slot. If it works swap the ram stick. if both works, perform the same but this time on B2 ram slot
this is to narrow down if your rams or the slot might be faulty.
2) If you have done 1) and still no post, reseat your CPU. if still not able to. go to a IT store and see if they can plug a CPU to test your components.
if 1 and 2 does not work after swaping the CPU. get the IT shop to use another PSU. if it still does not work, then motherboard could be faulty.
@@KleoYan will try
@@itsmohan_m ok. All the very best.
@@KleoYan noticed that bios version on the board is 4.13, but in the ASRock website for i9 13900k it is showing version 1.39. I don't know how to update without bios flash option.

im new to this motherboard thing. does it come with windows pre installed or do i have to download win .
Hi Marciano Kock, welcome to my channel. In general, if you purchase any motherboard, you will need to install windows it does not come pre installed.
Hi Kleo ,
1. You said it supports lga 1700 and lga 1851 does that mean it supports upcoming intel cpu? Arrow Lake-S and Lunar Lake-S?
2. If I install gen4 m.2 in gen 5 slot at what speed will my gpu work? and what happens if gen5 gpu release and if I install one , will there be any problems?
Hi Srivatsav V, welcome to my channel. 1) it's incorrect .. it should be only 1700 and not lga 1851, my bad. and 2) if you install a m.2 gen 4 on the gen 5 m.2 slot, your GPU will work at 8X not 16X. As for GPU if it's at 5.0 on the PCI-E 5.0 slot, it will run at 16X and if you have place both PCIE-5.0 and Gen 5 m.2 slots, then your GPU Gen 5 will run only on 8x not 16x.
how about the others pcie m2 slots ? i can put m2 gen4 in slot 2,3,4,5 and my graphic card will work x16 ?@@KleoYan

Hi JB197804, welcome to my channel. Have you tried running one stick to a slot and boot? Try that to check if all ram slots works and follow by changing each stick. This will narrow down if ram slots is faulty or a ram is faulty. Also ram slots work in pairs which is B2 and A2. B1 and A1.
Great review! You showed so many things that others reviews did not show! One question: You said, the prints are on stickers and not on the metal itself.

Would you do the washer mod on this motherboard?
Hi Crimson, welcome to my channel. Don't mind me asking, which washer mode are you referring to? if it's just like the ASRock X570 Taichi mod which I have done. There is no need too as the backplate comes with the thermal pads between the back of the VRM and the backplate. As for the chipset, it runs cool.

I have the Crucial T700 2TB Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD with heatsink - Up to 12,400 MB/s - and purchased the i9 14900k and CORSAIR Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5 RAM 48GB (2x24GB) DDR5 7200MHz CL36 do you think this motherboard would be the best option or should i get the apex encore ? I am new to pc building. Would there be any benefit to spending more for the apex encore ?
@@360Traveling welcome to my channel. Apex, looks good and premium but it serve no purposes for me as it’s an overclockers board, so it’s overkill kill for me plus I don’t utilised the features and functions. Else this Nova fits what I need and I am able to fully utilise it, consider this is an above mid tier board, plus it’s at the right price. By the end of the day, the choice is yours.
Awesome review! Unfortunately, with only 4 on-board SATA connectors, that is a deal breaker for me.
Hi Emery Rudolph, welcome to my channel. So sorry to hear that. Thank you for your feedback and to have visited my channel.
Very clear thank you
Hi GamaouaT, welcome to my channel, thank you for the feedback and all the best with your build. 😉
Hi Kleo 👍 The omission of a BIOS flashback button on a high end MB like this is not ideal. Manufacturers are constantly releasing new BIOS updates these days with security and compatibility fixes. A flashback function is a must at this price point.
Hi Wayne Hughes, welcome back. You are absolutely right. I was wondering too, why both motherboards does not have a Bios Flashback button? also for Nova, no clear cmos button which is weird too. Other than that the price point for Nova is attractive if it's at SGD $439, due to the cooling and such. But now as i've checked, newegg is selling Nova at SGD$484 and riptide at $406. If that's the case and if I am building a new rig, I will just go with riptide. Consider my friend lucky to get it at SGD $439 for the Nova, it's a steal.
@@KleoYanIf get from Newegg, what’s the warranty like?
@@HLchwa hi and welcome to my channel. You might want to check at newegg, what's their warranty policy. If it's by ASRock themselves, you will need to file up an rma with ASRock and depending on which country you are from. If you do not have any answers from newegg, you might want to read the info here. www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?cat=RMA
Does your friend Jonathan have any info since he bought the board from Newegg?
Also, any idea when this board will retail in Singapore?
@@HLchwa he mentioned to me, this is not the first time he have gotten ASRock boards from Newegg. All is needed is to send in a RMA request tw.asrock.com/events/tsd.asp , ASRock will then provide info to you and you will need to send your board to for RMA. As for local availability, let me check with TD.
KLEOOOOOOO. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS 😡 now I will return the riptide. Since is not too late and just to pay a little more. I will get this board. Thank you as always. Keep up the excellent work. 😘
Hi Nox, welcome back. oops! sorry, but you won't go wrong with this motherbaord. 🤣

Hi Always Respawn, welcome to my channel. It greatly depends on your budget. Since you have type out the processor and GPU. below are some choices which you can pick. Those are the PC parts which I have tested.
Motherboard
1) ASRock X670E Steel Legend www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X670E%20Steel%20Legend/index.asp
2) MSI X670E Tomahawk www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-X670E-TOMAHAWK-WIFI/Overview
3) Asus TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/tuf-gaming/tuf-gaming-x670e-plus/
Rams I will stick to EXPO profile with good timing with latency of CL30 and at 6000mhz bus speed.
Rams Non RGB but with good timings.
1) G.SKILL Flare X5 Series (AMD Expo) 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR5 6000 CL30-38-38-96 www.gskill.com/product/165/396/1673491242/F5-6000J3038F16GX2-FX5

For M.2 Storage you wont go wrong with Seagate Firecuda (for their high endurance and TBW) or Western Digital. I will not go for Samsung as they have poor endurance rate.
My top list as follow
1) Seagate Firecuda 530 for OS boot and application
2) Seagae Firecuda 520 for storage only
1) Western Digital SN850X for OS boot and application
2) Western Digital SN850 or SN770 for storage
Curcial P5 for OS boot, application and storage. In general these are cheaper and does it's job.
if you going for SSD, I will just stick to Curcial MX500 or BX500
PSU I will grab 1000watts 80plus Gold or 80Plus Platinium and with PCI-E 5.0 ATX 3.0 ready. Also their cables are mostly flat which is easy for cable management. I wouldn't go for sleeve cables.
1) Hydro PTM X PRO ATX3.0(PCIe5.0) 1000W 80Plus Platinium www.fsplifestyle.com/en/product/HydroPTMXPRO1000W_GEN5.html
2) Hydro G PRO ATX3.0(PCIe5.0) 1000W 80Plus Gold www.fsplifestyle.com/en/product/HYDROGPRO1000W_GEN5.html
3) Seasonic VERTEX GX seasonic.com/vertex-gx

Антенна wi fi на двухстороннем скотче! Это же колхоз, где магнитное основание!
Hi Wanedge, welcome to my channel. Yup, that is one thing which I also feel that ASRock should change it to magnetic base antenna.
thank you for your Videos , i am new in your channel and i think u do a great job so thank u
Hi ya RobiN HOod, welcome to my channel and thank you for your feedback. Maybe this will interest you, it’s not about thermal paste but more on the application. th-cam.com/video/xZ2R4roF1_Q/w-d-xo.html some have mentioned it brings good thermal results 😉
@@KleoYan thank u, can u help me with Which motherboard to choose for my i5 13600k thanks
@@robinhood9531 hi you are most welcome. It greatly depends on what you do with your pc and do you overclock or undervolt?
