You're a good man Buildzoid, I don't care what anybody says!
Lol what who says different!?? Lol
@@christopherjackson2157 it's a joke, man 😁
No one said anything though
no one said the opposite. he is doing the best reviews
It’s a joke guys 😂
A new motherboard breakdown! Exactly what I needed today!
Cool! Finally SOMEONE on YT talks about a motherboard I might actually purchase. Thanks BZ!
Ikr I was going to get it but went for the tuff gaming x670e instead
@@CJWall_rott I'm sorry
Very entertaining video BZ! For not having tested the board you were able to inform your viewers of so many details. Hooray for BZ!
If I had to guess, the reason doublers were originally developed was because older gen DrMOS and discrete mosfets had far worse switching performance than modern ones, so using doublers to compensate for a low operating frequency could improve ripple.
Hah how cool is that! I've just been eyeing this board up for a potential build, glad to see the master had already covered it!
Thanks for the overview, interested in this board as something for me to upgrade to in the future.
Your videos are awesome as always. I'm waiting for more. Also for review
I wish you a merry christmas 🎄
Even answered my question about the AUX+EPS12V, thanks! While installing my B650E Riptide I discovered my PSU somehow didn't have an AUX plug so had been wondering. Had left it unplugged as a cap was blocking use of a second EPS12V.
PCB breakdown for the win!
I just happened to buy this exact motherboard a couple of days ago, seemed to be the best quality/value for AM5, hope I'm not wrong!. Nice video and timing :)
I bought the same monitor fo 310€
Purchased this motherboard when building a new pc during black friday. I only picked it up because it was the cheapest motherboard I could find with pretty good rear io and audio codec that wasn’t horrible. Was super excited to see this video go up and learn more about it!
Get a decent USB DAC/Amp so your mobo decisions will never be bothered by audio codec again.
you can also use Asus SPDIF bracket connected to SPDIF connector
@@Aggrofoolaudio codec can impact performance ?
I have an ifi zen dac v2 and an amp but i use my mobo audio when gaming because i don’t have a mic on my high end headphones .
@@PeterPavlik72 Hi Peter, can you give a link to that connector? I have this mobo and want to use the SPDIF for my speakers.
@@Aggrofool There is so much snake oil in hi-fi audio/audiophile communities, and I haven't figured out what DAC/AMP combo to get. Is it possible to get a good DAC/AMP combo under $100?
The kind of review that i am interested in👌👍
I have the B650E-E version, great board..
Thank you for letting me know I don't need to worry about that extra 4 pin mobo power port. Whew!
wow I built on this motherboard a few weeks ago
Edit: I think shielding is poorly done on this board. When I plug in the headphone and start listening to music or watch BuildZoid videos, it makes zzzzsz buzzing noise once in a while. Plugging it into a USB Dac solves the issue. Also, the board's sound is not as good as the older S1220 codec and ES9023P Dac found in Asus Crosshair VII Hero board.
Good to know.
I know this is a late response but the Strix X370-F Gaming has the exact same issue.
I have to install the drivers directly from Asus support page.
This fixes the issue, but sometimes a simple Windows reboot will revert the drivers causing problems again.
I have the ASUS Z790-E and can confirm that memory trace lines appear visible on the top side of the 8-layer motherboard (in answer to question posed at about 55m into this video).
I have this board paired w 7900x, 32gb gskill DDR5 6000 CL30 and 3090Ti. Love it!
Especially that i can drop in not only new AM5 cpus down the road but also PCIE 5.0 GPUs and SSDs
What do you cool your 7900x with?
@@datsweetsansabooty deepcool LS720 360mm AIO liquid cooler
@@BlusViews thanks for the reply
@@datsweetsansabooty you're welcome sweetie 😘
Have ypu had trouble booting, stability or enabling EXPO? Ive read a lot of bad feedback about these issues and the b650e-f.... Im considering buying this board. Trying to look for positive feedback to help me decide 😂
I love your motherboard/GPU PCB review content
Nice to see Asus providing samples to BZ for review
Great video thank BZ
I miss the old days of Asus when everything was cutting edge and over-built. Now it's hit or miss. So sad
they released too many board
Thanks for the video!
is there any chance for some low effort content regarding the rest of Asus AM5 motherboards? :) would be appreciated as well!
When is the Asus AM5 motherboard rambling video coming?
My life always needs more mobo rambling
I'm not an expert and I may be completely wrong, but my guess as to why doublers were implemented is with higher amperage power stages (say, the infineon 80/90A SPSs) a doubler would increase the effective switching frequently of a controller while still providing enough current per phase. Higher switching frequencies can severely degrade efficiency, so you want to have the controller at a sweet spot (usually like 300khz-500khz?) but doublers would effectively increase that without efficiency loss by offsetting the pwm timing
All the best for '23 BZ
Great video! Will you be making a breakdown for the Z790 Aorus Master in the future?
When manufacturers configure the digital vrm controllers is that firmware data stored in the controller itself and set up at time of manufacture or is it written into the bios and then set up when the board boots?
Ps definitely test the board with capacitors on and off lol. That would be such a cool experiment.
Best ASMR video ever!
Just brought the B650E-E version has a bigger vrm and code reader plus a few other bits for £30 more, the F version was out of stock everywhere in the uk last week. It's selling so fast no retailers had any stock. Still waiting for mine to arrive. 🙂
what cpu?
Hmm isn't like 80 pounds more ? Where did you buy yours at if you please ?
@@jondonnelly4831 Got it in the sales at ccl online for £312, it was buy 3 items for a 10% discount, so I brought a cpu, motherboard, ddr5 memory, I also got another 10% off by using discount code santa, it's like £369 from them now, so got a good deal at the time. Came to £667.38 all in, Re used my phanteks case and everything else, I saved for a while for the upgrade, last pc was z270 7700k. Had a few issues with fTPM causing suttering in games, took me a while to work out what was causing it, make sure you turn it off in the bios, cause AMD still haven't fixed it, caused issues for people with AM4 also. AMD Article Number PA-410
Will there be B650E-E brakedown? Thanks for your great work BZ!
Thx for this buildzoid. Any chance of you doing a breakdown on the Asus ROG 670e Crosshair Extreme motherboard. Id love to see what that has under the hood.
Could you do a review on one of the ROG strix or crosshair X670E boards? (preferably the ROG Strix X670E-E) would love to hear what you have to say about the improved power delivery and PCI-E 5.0 features on it.
nice video
Regarding the high current 8-pin connectors, I'm not sure it's true that they always have that solid prismatic shape. For example, Molex Minifit HCS (high current) like PN 46015-0802 are that folded metal style and rated for 10A per contact. I want to say it's the same for Amphenol parts. I'm not even sure where one can acquire those prismatic terminal style of connectors through normal western distributors.
Hey Buildzoid. Im starting to work out what mobo to go with for a 7800x3d or 7900x3d when they release. I'd love a roundup video on recommendations considering a few common use cases. I suspect these types of video aren't your favorite, but I think a lot of us would appreciate it greatly.
Because I need an Optical Out, so far my list includes: MSI MPG X670E, ASRock B650E Steel Legend and ASUS ROG Strix B650E-E but now Im not sure how to properly compare them but ill give it a red hot go.
Cheers
Waiting for that video too..
Asus X670E tuf is the best value high end mobo
I have the Asus ROG strip b650e-e and I'm pairing it with a 7900, it's a beautiful looking board, plenty of m.2 slots, great rear IO, and a thunderbolt 4 header which is really nice too. If you need a lot of m.2 expansion and rear io, as well as like the clean look of the board I say that's the one to get
@@Ian07385 I'm likely going to get a b650e-e, and have been struggling on finding much information about that board online. It's a huge bummer since I love to do deep research on this kind of stuff before I buy one, but I just haven't found as much information about this board as I would like to. It's pretty much the only board with a qcode readout that's not nearly $500 since the aorus master has been discontinued.
That said, have you had a good experience with the board?
I'm learning. Thank you. Can you do a B650 board next? B650 Pro RS or LiveMixer (the one I bought, same VRM setup AFAIK).
I want to know more about my board. Curious what you think. 🙂
TL;DR I went with the 5200 Kingston 64 Gb set but will exchange for a 5600 kit.
22:25 TIL "Shorted HFET Protection" is a thing, just read the SiC645 datasheet and that's very cool. On the other hand, what can a VRM even do when it detects a short? The high side FET is still hard-wired to 12V and I've never seen a crowbar circuit on a mobo
Just about to pick one of these up £399.95. Thanks for the video.
they go for 275 here
Hi there buildzoid thanks for the greats videos could you do a similar video for the ROG strix B 650E-E Gaming mobo ?
Do all B650 motherboards run Smart Power Stages? What's the future of discreet high and low side configurations for VRMs?
Hello sir I really appreciated your video. I'm very stupid when it comes to motherboards, and I wanted to ask you if you think its a good motherboard for a 7900x3d?
Bz, happy holidays! Could you do a z790 maximus extreme 13900k and F5-7800J3646H16GX2-TZ5RK oc video ?
This MOBO just went on sale at Micro Center for almost half off, this video is going to be a good resource for bunch of people.
In my dreams I live in the US and buy PC parts for cheap asf, just bought this board last week and it was 360$ cheapest in my country, had to go for a good board after 2 prime boards were so bad and just causing tons of problems, happy with the board, but 360$ is a lot..
@@philipg3789 i got this from a friend who was visiting from US. But unfortunately my MB didn't POST. It had some faulty IC near the RAM capacitors. There are two small IC near the 4 capacitor near the RAM slot. Will it possible for you send a hi-res pic of that area from your MB so that i can get the name of IC that i need to replace. US bought MB has no global warranty , Thanks.
I got mine for $120, absolute steal.
Hwinfo 64 in some motherboard when look at motherboard section name you can see what VRM controller board use , but the most time you see only the names of sensors Nuvoton ...
Ayy nice.
What are the pros/cons of plugging things into those red USB ports on the back? What are they made for? I have a keyboard, mouse, and webcam. What's the best things to plug into those or the best thing to avoid? Thank you.
So if you would have to pick between 2 kits with m-die like Kingston Fury 5600mhz and Patriot Viper venom 6200mhz you would buy cheaper one? And there is technically no difference in OC as both are hynix m-die?
Could you do a video of the reference 7900xtx PCB. I'm curious what are your thoughts on it.
wow.. I have the 'E-E' version of this board and it's a much more elaborate layout
Hi. Few days ago I build system using exactly that motherboard and I have problem with entering UEFI. At the beginning everything was alright but next day when I press DEL button to early MB stuck (not starting, blank screen) and green LED is on that mean issues with boot device. But if I don't press any button windows loading every time with no boot issues. If I want to enter UEFI I need to restart many times and finaly after few restarts it let me enter UEFI. Any thoughts?
P. S. Sorry for my English :)
Might grab this board today and pair it with some g.skill 6000 32-38-38. Figured with those timings it should be hynix. Are we going to see any memory tuning videos on AM5. Lots of AM5 content on here but no memory tweaking yet from what I can find.
Samsung
@@vetold85 per his Nov DDR5 video, if it's a 64Gb kit should be Hynix (timestamp around 38:16) with 32-38-38-96
Looks like a nice motherboard. I don't get why they include the 4 pin ATX-12V connector at all if the 8-pin is adequate. Who would use a 4-pin era PSU these days with a modern CPU?
: How does W in heat output scale with higher switching freq. on the power stages? I've been thinking about increasing it on my AM4 mobo but I don't know how it will behave.
The B650E-I itx strix any good? Yay or ney?
Nice
why not making video about Aio coolers?
why we reaching end point in coolers is there any better way?
wow BZ doing a PCB Breakdown again for once
Hi , what is the best budget motheboard for Ryzen 9 3900X now annd i will do OC? ( would ASUS B450M-K be good for the cpu?Thaks in advance
could u talk about the pcb and components inside the 7900xtx? pls
B650e is perfect for itx version of this. And why does the itx board have 10+2 power stages?
Dang, where are the 2 Dimm fullsized AM5 boards?
Best Z790 boards video when?
a square cuboid or a rectangular parallelepiped
I wish that the Zen 4 lineup had at least one mid tier cpu that does make sense in both pricing and performance but the middle stack of the indel 13th gen cpu's butcher any amd cpu other than 7950x and I'd still pick 13900k over it due to superior single threaded performance.
Which Asus mobo would you pick for i5-13600k?
can you try out B650E-E Strix? It is using MPS power stages, not many motherboards use this brand. But is popular with Nvidia and the FE GPU.
Great vid! Any chance you could do a video on memory overclocking for ryzen 7000?
i found my VDDMISC capacitor(i identified from your video) was stuck by one leg(one pin is broken), my pc runs but i think it's unstable on usage and gaming and probably consume more energy by only running, probably i ill see if is fixable, but if i need to change? which one i need to buy? and is correct what i say from instability?. Thanks
Would you buy this board or the Aorus Elite?
Does anyone know what the button does near the bottom right of the ram slots?
Its a quick release for the GPU.
Can someone please explain the differences between the e-e the e-i and the e-f please?
Is it to late to do a look at xfx speedster zero amd radeon rx 6900 xt
Just checked the memory support tab, compared to gigabyte, asus got wayy less support on the list.
Can i even use g skill 6000 cl 30 / 32 when it's not even listed on asus & g skill website? or it won't even boot?
you can use g.skill Trident Z5
Good stuff as a 36 year old who hasn't soldered circuit boards and cables in years
This board and the 7950x or the B650E-E and the 7900x?
HI .How many pcb layers has this mobo?
I've been eyeeing this motherboard for a purchase. I've read a lot of bad feedback from people having issues booting or maintaining their system stable because of RAM compatibility (in spite of using QVL ram listed in both ASUS and the RAM brand). Some other people having no luck enabling EXPO.....
Could any b650e-f owner share his experience in this regard? Thanks
Did anyone try to pair this mobo with Kingston 64gb? . I would like to know which model is compatible. Ddr5 is expensive, and I can't return the ram if it's not compatible.
I just bought a rtx 4090 and am in the market for a B650 board for the upcoming 7800x3d. Any recs for board?
strix b650e-e
How about B650E-E? Is the higher price worth it?
B650E-E one extra features. at that price, it's better to go for ASRock X670E steel legend
Love the nvme salt opening. Fecking dash F no post code. Post code is pretty.
Sir is this motherboard futureproof, i mean can it run new amd CPUs released in 2025?
👍
Is it a problem with AMD MB’s being that their OC of memory is lower then Intel, this board maximum is 6400
You work for gamer nexus dude ?
Hey Buildzoid, are you going to make a rambling video about AM5 Asus motherboards soon? I'm really waiting your word on them to make a decision. Haha can't decide which board to choose for my new AM5 build and information around these boards are still very scarce. I'm thinking of going with the Strix B650E-E but I'm afraid the 70 amps on VRMs (vs 110 amps on X670E) wouldn't be enough if I plan to upgrade to some high end cpu on zen 5 in the future. I know this probably will never be answered but thanks anyway for your videos! They are incredibly useful!
If you dont do heavy OC the 70 AMPS will be fine.
Why should I pick this one over the Asrock B650 Pro RS, Steel legend, Taichi Lite or the Gigabyte B650 AORUS PRO X?
This is part of a deal for a 7900x with 64gb of ram should I pick that up? 599.99
Asrock "has" a b650 matx motherboard with more available pcie lanes than this. (asrock b650m-c) You get 4 more usable lanes and worse rear io and only two sata ports. It is from what I can tell not available anywhere...
Do a mobo breakdown of the B650E Riptide next!
Post? Metal post?
I propose to buy the cheapest no-name b660 motherboard from aliexpress and try to overclock the RAM on it x)
like JGINYUE B660M
Could you check the tuf b650e? Can't find any info about it, would like to know if it is shit or not.
So what happened if the memory capacitor is blown or missing? Because it happened to me and just found out about it.
I have the Crosshair 8 Extreme and 5950X, the specs say it can do 5000Mhz (OC), do you think it'd even be possible?
I have a B550 Tomahawk with 5800X, and I was able to static overclock to 4.5Ghz (auto negative offset voltage), anything beyound that causes the temperature on heavy load jumps from 67°C to 87°C, and cinebench score only gets 2~4% higher than 4.5Ghz. I decided to not deal with fans ramping up only for that amount of performance increase
5:34 But optical out is the _only_ thing I use internal audio for...
The board has a SPDIF header
Any advice for someone stuck on dram orange light error? Updated to different bios and cmos, still no post screen.
Same issue for me. Have you found a solution ytz,m
@@fitztech loosened up the aio cooler it was pressing too hard on the CPu which got it to post once but still kept getting dram light errors and ended up replacing the board, new board had the same light and errors but post fine if but a bit slow on power up. Tested the ram it was fine, and replaced the CPU just to make sure it was fine. Whatever the issue is, it has to do with the compatibility of AMD boards with the RAM and the CPU. A love triangle that needs a serious update.
Considering the heat density of AM5 will there ever be more power hungry chips for this socket?
I doubt it
yes there's gonna be 3DX 7000 incoming which using more power but still better than Intel power hungry
