I am getting ready to pick up this board and you by far had given me much more information about this than any other reviewer I have seen. Thank you very much for your time on this and the info. Well done!
@@KleoYan hi Kleo, now thatX870 will be released soon, is it still worthwhile to get this X670E Steel Legend? Would a BIOS update make the DIMM slots accept 48GB modules? Also, would the same BIOS update accept new Ryzen 9700X CPU?
Hi David Reyes, welcome to my channel. there are bios update on the X670E Steel Legend which support the latest 9000 series CPU, same apply to 24, 48 and 96G ram modules. www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X670E%20Steel%20Legend/index.asp#BIOS update to AGESA 1.2.0.2 (ver 3.08). If you want my honest opinion between getting X870E vs X670E, It greatly depends on, 1st if you have the budget, just go for X870E as I see more value there to support USB 4.0 devices (USB 4.0 docking or m.2 encloser). 2nd If you are on a budget and do not require USB 4.0 features, this X670E will be just fine, plus X670E does support future Gen 5 GPU as it does have a PCI-E Gen 5 slot.

Please, don't apologize for the length of the video. It is by far the most informative and detailed I've seen. Well done. I haven't built in over 20 years, so you can imagine, I've got some catching up to do. This card is on my target list and I'm very appreciative for the effort you have put in to answer a lot of queries. Thank you again. Oh, yes... I have 'Liked' and 'Subscribed'.
Hi Observer, welcome to my channel. You have no idea how much your valuable feedback means to me. Thank you so much, I greatly appreciated it and all the best with your build too 😉
Thanks so much for measuring the VRM heatsinks. More reviewers should take a page out of your book and go into detail like that, helps a lot to figure out compatibility.
hi mkyeny9, welcome to my channel, yup, I am a PC builder myself, at times I get fustrated when I do not know the exact measurements, where I only have one piece of the puzzle, which most case will have measurement clearance. I have a few incident when I assume that the board will fit with a 280 Liquid AIO at the top, but often failed, resulting in changing my Liquid Aio to either mount at the front or to get a smaill liquid aio. This is just my idea to do a motherboard openview as it's my first time. I am gald you like my content and all the very best with your build. Thank again to have visited to provide your valuable feedback.
Excellent video! Gave me a lot of useful information about the motherboard that I needed to know. Unfortunately, content like this is not easy to find on TH-cam. Thank you very much!
Hi anefriend , welcome to my channel and thank you for your valuable feedback. I am glad this content does aid you. All the best with your build too. 😉
Wow, didn't know you will look into details that far. No wonder all your PC build videos are top notch. Again I've learn something new from you. I wish more motherboard manufacturers will approach you. Even if this is your first motherboard review, your content are always unique. You have my full support.
Hello Nox, welcome back.. thanks for the compliment.. not that all are top notch is just that am particular to layouts as this will ease my cable management time.
Made up my mind This MoBo will be in my next Build 🎉 I always wanted an ASRock MoBo for years now And I think I picked a very good one Thank you You made my day this is exactly what I'm looking for 🎉😊 You are the best
Purchased this motherboard for my new build. Watched this video before I bought it. Was doing some more research on bios settings and came across this video again, and learned more from this video than I did from others. Great informative video.
This is the most detailed review by far that I've seen of any reviewer and really appreciate the part where you've taken the time to calculate the amp rating of all the fan headers as well as RGB connectors..... Kudos to you 👍
Your video was very informative. The layout and thoughts before even assembling is great and very helpful. I really like your overview of the fan headers. This is something I never really thought about but is so helpful.

Once again thank you for your visit and to leave your valuable feedback. 👍
That's pretty nice that ASRock UEFI allows you to adjust the RGB without having to go into the OS. I'm impressed with ASRock's numerous amount of bios settings.
Hi Game Tech Reviews, welcome to my channel and yup. Infact this was a thing with ASRock motherboard. Since z370 days till now. Most of their boards are able to control the rgb or argb via the UEFI. That’s what I like about it. Once again thank you to have visit and to have leave your valuable feedback 😉
I really enjoyed your vid and breakdown. I have had my eye on this motherboard for my upgrade and the only question I had was that people complained about the BIOS. You showed that there is nothing to worry about! I just missed a 1 day sale + MIR oh well. Next time the price comes down I will purchase this knowing I did my homework. Thank you, liked and subbed!
Hi Goose Johnson, welcome to my channel. Yup there is nothing to worry about and the current bios version is 1.28 with the AGESA 1.0.0.7b which supports 24gb and 48gb rams. Thank you to have subscribed, all the best with your build too.

Thank you for going in to so much of the build detail. I am about to build my system with this board in a few days, and things like the fan header current limits and motherboard component sizes (heatsinks) are extremely useful. The BIOS walkthrough was useful too. Cheers!
Great video-most in depth dive of this mobo i have seen. First time builder here and I was hoping you could clear something up for me. On the QVL list, it states that" m.2_1 is the first priority to be installed" ... Manual identifies this as the Blazing slot. Can you clarify what" Blazing is the first priority to be installed" means? I'm planning on multiple drives to be installed so I just wanted to be sure I know what the website is saying
Hi nothx, welcome to my channel, do pardon me to reply you this late. the blazing fast means it's PCI-E gen 5 ready which is cater for Gen 5 m.2 nvme. as why it stated that it's "Priority", this is the m.2 slot that you should plug your OS drive is. be it if your m.2 nvme is of Gen 4 or Gen 5. this will allow faster boot timing. Hope that will clear your doubts.
@@nothx-t7u you are most welcome and all the best with your build too.. oh I almost forget, if you do use Gen 5 m.2 nvme at the blazing fast slot. your GPU slot (PCI-E 1st Slot) will not operated at x16, it will be at x8 . but the impact is not significant... so don't worry too much..
Thanks for the info, i was thinking about get one of these asrock for my 7800x3d, 4080 super too. Do you think this still worth the price for it, or a b650 will do the job just fine?
@@KleoYan yes I'm using this motherboard in my second system. First time I've tried Asrock and it's surprisingly great. You taught me a few things I didn't even know about the mb! Thanks Kleo!
Ur Channel is an absolute gem! The amount of detail you put in ur videos is amazing! I went with a montech king 95 pro and ASRock x670e motherboard so both these guides are exactly what i needed! I went with a 7600x and a 7900GRE. I could have gone bigger but im upgrading from a amd fx and gtx 960 ive had since 2016 so this will be more then plenty! Anyways thank you for ur hard work sir! Do you by chance know if the 7600x is a decent overclocker?
HI Elite Pauper, welcome back 😁, to be honest, undervolting is much better than to overclock. the AMD 7600X you are able to overclock but will need to increase voltage with PBO2, my opinion is to set the PPT, TDP and the EDC to default of the 7600X, set the curve optimizer to -15 to -20 (depends on stablity), next to do a vcore offset to negative 0.5v. Your 7600X will perform above default performance and the temperature will be lower too. This way you will prolong the life of your processor. By the way, just to share, ignore the MX6 thermal paste, just the method I share on how I apply thermal paste and this does benefit my viewers on their thermal result.. watch the exact time stamp of this content th-cam.com/video/xZ2R4roF1_Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vNe38CGd0tFNKEID&t=295 . Thank you for your valuable feedback and all the best with your build too.
@@НААТ as the generation of processors are power hunger, I adivse you to get current thermal paste. Arctic MX4 or MX6 will be good. The choice is up to you on current thermal paste. My go to will be MX6, but both MX4 or MX6 will be able to handle the heat of the 7600X.
I would recommend at the end of your video have an overview and summary. Its a long video and some time the points get lost easily. Having something to summarized the product at the end would be very helpful.
Thnx a lot for this informative video. Where can I find documentation of the the amperages of the fan headers you mention at 22:01 ? I have 9 fans (0.3A) in my Thermaltake t900 with one fixed colour. Of course I don’t want to take any risk of overloading fan headers. The Pumps are seperately provided with power via thermaltakes own controller.
Hi Frans Looy, welcome to my channel, for the ampere capability of the fan headers on this board is not in the manual but it's stated clearing on it's specifcation page, under connection. www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X670E%20Steel%20Legend/index.asp#Specification This is taken from the specification page. ***CPU_FAN1 supports the fan power up to 1A (12W). ****CPU_FAN2/WP supports the fan power up to 2A (24W). *****CHA_FAN1~4/WP support the fan power up to 2A (24W). CPU_FAN2/WP and CHA_FAN1~4/WP can auto detect if 3-pin or 4-pin fan is in use.
Hi Swizzler 80, welcome back. To be honest, I had a hard time doing this content 😂 a lot of mistakes made in the process to name every single connection points. My main objective is the end part where I talk about the layout and what’s good about this board lol. But thank you for your support. You too stay safe and thank you again 😉
Nice review! I have one question, unlike the 'Asrock X670E PRO RS', this board does not have an 'm.2 wifi' slot. Is it already integrated into the board? Or do I have to purchase a pcie wifi card and put in one of the pcie slots?
It's a great review. Finally something new. In what way do you think ASRock X670E PG Lightning is interior to Steel Legend? What do you think of other brands of motherboards?
Hello Cywlexeem Tacac, welcome to my channel. Hmm I don’t think I mention that in my video. I don’t think the PG board is inferior. Just that this board has more m.2 and have a proper vram heatsink at the side. As for other board. To be honest I am use to ASRock as it’s able to fine tune the pbo2 settings the way I want it plus it’s not over powered. To run a 7950x, all is needed is to have good vrm heatsink and for the vrm cap chokes, you only need 60a each to run. You don’t need to have over 60a. That’s for overclocking purpose which I don’t do. I do mainly in undervolting.
I just bought a pc with this motherboard and i was thinking of getting more m2 storage. Thank you so much!!!! One question are the armor plates for the m2 slots do they provide cooling for the m2?
Hello Honestry1, welcome to my channel, there are total of 4 m.2 solt but only 3 is provided with cooling, which is the amour sheild. there is one which is not, you might need to get a m.2 with a heatsink for that slot. 07:54
Thanks for the video. Just wanted to reassure again, the wireless connections (wifi and the bluetooth) are integrated, and i dont have to buy separate m.2 wifi key to use them, right? Thank you for reading this.
Amazing video, and very information about CPU-fan amphere. But really wish you put the aphere for rbg/fans before the BIOS part; i spent hours figurring that part out and I didnt see it in the video as I thought everything after the bios part wouldnt relate to hardware install.
Hello J L, welcome to my channel and thank you for your feedback. There is a part where it shows you how to connect the argb to and do pardon me, I did not go indepth with the polychrome application.
Hello CMDR Tony Curtis, welcome to my channel. hmm.. don't really get what kind of emotional damage you are referring to. Are you talking about the SoC overload that causes the melting of processor and the motherboard socket? If that the damage, for the time being power limit the processor which I normally do and to make sure SOC voltage is not regulating above 1.3 which I had mine on 1.2. never the less thank you for your feedback.

Hi Christopher Lebert, welcome to my channel. For anything new that I get I will test the cpu, rams and the storage (m.2). I even install the os first and to run it out of the case.

Hi meganerid, welcome to my channel, when I measure the height after pluging in the GPU, you have only 12mm clearance, I doubt you can place any tall m.2 heatsink.
Great review of the motherboard and very good explaining of each part, just about to upgrade and ive had 3 mobos in mind prime x670e (atm a very great price compaired £260) ,asus tuf £308 and this board £325. i have a corsair cooler with all 6 fans being also corsair including the aio. So knowing about the rgb in the bios clears a headache with too much bloatwares. After seeing this im kind of down to this or the prime board.

Hi Krales, welcome to my channel. Both can handle 7950X without issues, it's a matter of which you want. I would go for ASRock as most fan headers are at 2A only the CPU FAN and System Fan 5. else for Asus, one thing I dislike about them all 1A, but if you use fan hub then this is not a concern as your fan is drawing current from the fan hub which is powered by a Sata cable.

I am building my first pc on Saturday, using this board. I have 1tb m.2 for OS in blazing slot and a 2nd 2tb m.2 for games, my question is is there a preferred slot for me to use for the games m.2 so it doesn't reduce any performance on sharing lanes etc? Thinking slots 1 and 4 so qst on CPU, 2nd on 1st chipset, would this be best option? Any help appreciated and tia
Hi Jame Boat, welcome back, you are absolutely correct to place the OS Drive on the first slot (M.2_1) and I believe space is of an issue so putting your gaming 2TB m.2 at second slot (M.2_4) makes perfect sense. The only difference in having the game drive to the 2nd slot, the speed is slightly slower in milliseconds, you won't notice it. Unless you are very particular about it then have the OS and Gaming program on your 2TB m.2, plug it to the first slot (M.2_1) and have the 1TB m.2 as a storage drive to the 2nd slot (M.2_4). To me the 2nd option does not really make sense as it's wasting the 2TB for storage. The choice is yours.

Hello sir i have a small doubt, When we insert am4 CPU to am4 socket like Ryzen 5 5600x to Msi mag x570 tomahawk, when we put the cpu into the socket by lifting the lever up and then closing the lever , will the pressure get lowered before reaching the the lock or the pressure would be same till the end ?
Hello YKR, welcome to my channel. This I am not sure how to answer you. For the first time when you unhook the level, it's to open up those hole pots. then place the CPU in. once you press it down, it will take a gentle bite of the CPU pins, next will be the retention being push down by the level. it will add a bit more torque to bite it firmly again in place but not to the extend of damging the pin. if you have not notices, if you continue to take in and out of the CPU, the bite will get weaker each time. That's what my personal experience is.

Hi Satoshi Chaser, welcome to my channel. Have you tried flashing their latest bios to see if that helps. If it still giving you problems. I suggest you to rma your motherboard.
@@satoshichaser6537 have you try running without the GPU and check in bios, does it detect your m.2? If it still does not and I believe your motherboard is under warranty. Kindly send it for repairs or to have a 1 to 1 exchange. Your motherboard might be defective
Wow, phenomenal video. I have this board. And wonder if my Noctua NH-D15 SE AM4 CPU air cooler will mount properly. And if it will be good to cool a 7950X CPU. I hope it does. Cause I already have this motherboard with 64GB DDR5 RAM G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo CL32 6000 AMD EXPO. I'm just waiting on the 7950X to be delivered. And I'm a bit nervous if everything will match right. Once I start rebuilding my current PC. I'll be upgrading from a 1st Gen Ryzen 1700 with an RTX 3070 already in my current PC. Hopefully, the 7950X will finally let the RTX 3070 work at 100% in games. Any advice is welcome, thanks 😊
Hello GielderstGaming, welcome to my channel. as mentioned in this video the height at the rear I/O from the motherboard is 43mm tall. and base on Noctua NH-D15 SE., your ram clearnace is at 32mm and the rear if there are no third fan mounted, The rear is not the issue. measure your ram height. if it's above 32mm. you might have issues. btw you can scroll down at this page where it gives you the clearance measurement of your Noctua Cooler. noctua.at/en/nh-d15-se-am4/specification
@Kleo Yan I think the RAM clearance should be alright as well under the cooler. I hope the system will work once I rebuild it. I'm glad that I only had to buy the motherboard, RAM and CPU, and nothing else. Thanks to the fact I already have a Case, RTX 3070, 1250W PSU, 2x M.2 NVMe SSD's, and 1x HDD and the NH-D15 cooler. I'm also hoping I won't have buyers regrets for hopping on to the 7950X from a Ryzen 1700 lol.
@Kleo Yan Well actually not exactly. I've gathered some savings the past few months. And right now is the time for me to upgradebi think. Because I'll start paying off a mortgage for my home soon. And I just thought to myself that now is the time. Cause right now I had the savings to afford these 3 components. And yes I know I've overpayed. But atleast I've done it once at a moment where I've had the ability. I might not have the same opportunity in the future. And that's why. I did it now. And I actually got lucky cause I ordered the 7950X discounted to 550 USD
So far I like the steel series motherboards form Asrock as they are good quality and have features. In addition should there be a problem their RMA service is excellent. I used be an ASUS Fan but after poor Quality control and questionable RMA, I decided that Asrock is the better. Right now they have both the B650E Steel series on sale for $200 and the X670E on sale for $270. It looks like both of them have similar feature’s annd performance other than the X670E supporting more USB and SATA, having one more PCIe slot, dual NIC, and one more SSD m.2 slot. Honestly it seems like you can’t go wrong with both of them. To me honestly $70 isn’t to much of a difference to get the X670E one. However if I were on a strict budget then the B650E should be absolutely fine and the $70 could go towards getting a better GPU.
Hi Haz, welcome to my channel, you are absolutely right about ASRock quality and after sales services. I myself been using ASRock motherboard since the Z79 era till now. I have been using their Extreme4 board, Z390 Tachi, X570 Taichi, B550M Steelegen, X670E Steel Legend, Z790 Sonic PG and the Z790 Nova Wifi. All have never failed to perform as the way the should. Along using these board, I only hard problem with the X570 Taichi which their RMA team is helpful. As for which ever board you choose, so long is of their mid tier, you are right, you won't go wrong to have either series and to go for better GPU. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, greatly appreciate it 😉
@@sunnycat69 hmm.. if it says able to mount a 360 liquid aio, most will be able to. so long it's of standard 27 to 28mm rad thickness and 25mm fan thickness you should not have an issue and with motherboard vrm thickness at 45mm. you should be able to. unless this H6 flow is very narrow in width

Hello Ben McBurnie, welcome to my channel. when you purchased a motherbord, it does not comes with motherboard screws. motherboard screws are only provided when you purchase a PC case. or are you trying to ask where are the screw holes located on the motherboard? if so page 33 chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/download.asrock.com/Manual/X670E%20Steel%20Legend_English.pdf ..

Hello Trance Pilot, welcome to my channel and thank you for the compliment. All the very best with your purchase and build too 😉
@@KleoYan hi Kleo, now thatX870 will be released soon, is it still worthwhile to get this X670E Steel Legend? Would a BIOS update make the DIMM slots accept 48GB modules? Also, would the same BIOS update accept new Ryzen 9700X CPU?
Hi David Reyes, welcome to my channel. there are bios update on the X670E Steel Legend which support the latest 9000 series CPU, same apply to 24, 48 and 96G ram modules. www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X670E%20Steel%20Legend/index.asp#BIOS update to AGESA 1.2.0.2 (ver 3.08).
If you want my honest opinion between getting X870E vs X670E, It greatly depends on, 1st if you have the budget, just go for X870E as I see more value there to support USB 4.0 devices (USB 4.0 docking or m.2 encloser). 2nd If you are on a budget and do not require USB 4.0 features, this X670E will be just fine, plus X670E does support future Gen 5 GPU as it does have a PCI-E Gen 5 slot.
Thank you so much for your input-- I really appreciate it. Would installing an AM5 contact frame help controlling the temperature?
@@dfbreyes the AM5 contact frame it's not neccessary and it does not drop thermal temprature. If you really want good thermal result without having a messy paste application, you can give this a try. th-cam.com/video/xZ2R4roF1_Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=p3K9rWfwuMZ3A__L&t=148 at timestamp 02:28

Great video-most in depth dive of this mobo i have seen. First time builder here and I was hoping you could clear something up for me. On the QVL list, it states that" m.2_1 is the first priority to be installed" ... Manual identifies this as the Blazing slot. Can you clarify what" Blazing is the first priority to be installed" means? I'm planning on multiple drives to be installed so I just wanted to be sure I know what the website is saying
Hi nothx, welcome to my channel, do pardon me to reply you this late. the blazing fast means it's PCI-E gen 5 ready which is cater for Gen 5 m.2 nvme. as why it stated that it's "Priority", this is the m.2 slot that you should plug your OS drive is. be it if your m.2 nvme is of Gen 4 or Gen 5. this will allow faster boot timing. Hope that will clear your doubts.

Ur Channel is an absolute gem! The amount of detail you put in ur videos is amazing! I went with a montech king 95 pro and ASRock x670e motherboard so both these guides are exactly what i needed! I went with a 7600x and a 7900GRE. I could have gone bigger but im upgrading from a amd fx and gtx 960 ive had since 2016 so this will be more then plenty! Anyways thank you for ur hard work sir! Do you by chance know if the 7600x is a decent overclocker?
HI Elite Pauper, welcome back 😁, to be honest, undervolting is much better than to overclock. the AMD 7600X you are able to overclock but will need to increase voltage with PBO2, my opinion is to set the PPT, TDP and the EDC to default of the 7600X, set the curve optimizer to -15 to -20 (depends on stablity), next to do a vcore offset to negative 0.5v. Your 7600X will perform above default performance and the temperature will be lower too. This way you will prolong the life of your processor. By the way, just to share, ignore the MX6 thermal paste, just the method I share on how I apply thermal paste and this does benefit my viewers on their thermal result.. watch the exact time stamp of this content th-cam.com/video/xZ2R4roF1_Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vNe38CGd0tFNKEID&t=295 .

Hello Cywlexeem Tacac, welcome to my channel. Hmm I don’t think I mention that in my video. I don’t think the PG board is inferior. Just that this board has more m.2 and have a proper vram heatsink at the side. As for other board.

To run a 7950x, all is needed is to have good vrm heatsink and for the vrm cap chokes, you only need 60a each to run. You don’t need to have over 60a. That’s for overclocking purpose which I don’t do. I do mainly in undervolting.
I just bought a pc with this motherboard and i was thinking of getting more m2 storage. Thank you so much!!!! One question are the armor plates for the m2 slots do they provide cooling for the m2?
Hello Honestry1, welcome to my channel, there are total of 4 m.2 solt but only 3 is provided with cooling, which is the amour sheild. there is one which is not, you might need to get a m.2 with a heatsink for that slot. 07:54

Great review! Do I need storage to test a motherboard? Or, can I test it with a psu, CPU, and ram?
Hi Christopher Lebert, welcome to my channel. For anything new that I get I will test the cpu, rams and the storage (m.2). I even install the os first and to run it out of the case. Once done, I will then begin the build. This way I will know if there are any issues as it will be a pain to pull out all components from the case and to troubleshoot.
@@KleoYan Initially do you just run off of integrated graphics? Then you later install the graphics card? Thank you again, such a great review!!

My question will it work or would be to much 6400 Mhz and I should buy 5600 Mhz or 6000 Mhz to be stable for gaming also overclocking ? what's your experience about this configuration 100 % stable ?

Answer :
Based on your URL, there are 3 profile, you should be able to see it. As written in the Kingston FURY 32G kit. Try run one stick to see if it works. If it does, unplug the one that is working aside and plug in another. If both works as Single channel, try reseat both that is to the B2 and A2 slot. if it does not work. swap B2 to A2 rams and A2 to B2 rams. if it doesn't work, it could be unable to run this ram kit as dual channel. Then I am not able to aid you.

Hi Krales, welcome to my channel. Both can handle 7950X without issues, it's a matter of which you want. I would go for ASRock as most fan headers are at 2A only the CPU FAN and System Fan 5. else for Asus, one thing I dislike about them all 1A, but if you use fan hub then this is not a concern as your fan is drawing current from the fan hub which is powered by a Sata cable.

Thinking slots 1 and 4 so qst on CPU, 2nd on 1st chipset, would this be best option? Any help appreciated and tia
Hi Jame Boat, welcome back, you are absolutely correct to place the OS Drive on the first slot (M.2_1) and I believe space is of an issue so putting your gaming 2TB m.2 at second slot (M.2_4) makes perfect sense. The only difference in having the game drive to the 2nd slot, the speed is slightly slower in milliseconds, you won't notice it. Unless you are very particular about it then have the OS and Gaming program on your 2TB m.2, plug it to the first slot (M.2_1) and have the 1TB m.2 as a storage drive to the 2nd slot (M.2_4). To me the 2nd option does not really make sense as it's wasting the 2TB for storage. The choice is yours.

Hello sir i have a small doubt, When we insert am4 CPU to am4 socket like Ryzen 5 5600x to Msi mag x570 tomahawk, when we put the cpu into the socket by lifting the lever up and then closing the lever , will the pressure get lowered before reaching the the lock or the pressure would be same till the end ?
Hello YKR, welcome to my channel. This I am not sure how to answer you. For the first time when you unhook the level, it's to open up those hole pots. then place the CPU in. once you press it down, it will take a gentle bite of the CPU pins, next will be the retention being push down by the level. it will add a bit more torque to bite it firmly again in place but not to the extend of damging the pin. if you have not notices, if you continue to take in and out of the CPU, the bite will get weaker each time.

Hopefully, the 7950X will finally let the RTX 3070 work at 100% in games. Any advice is welcome, thanks 😊
Hello GielderstGaming, welcome to my channel. as mentioned in this video the height at the rear I/O from the motherboard is 43mm tall. and base on Noctua NH-D15 SE., your ram clearnace is at 32mm and the rear if there are no third fan mounted, The rear is not the issue. measure your ram height. if it's above 32mm. you might have issues. btw you can scroll down at this page where it gives you the clearance measurement of your Noctua Cooler. noctua.at/en/nh-d15-se-am4/specification

So far I like the steel series motherboards form Asrock as they are good quality and have features. In addition should there be a problem their RMA service is excellent. I used be an ASUS Fan but after poor Quality control and questionable RMA, I decided that Asrock is the better.
Right now they have both the B650E Steel series on sale for $200 and the X670E on sale for $270.
It looks like both of them have similar feature’s annd performance other than the X670E supporting more USB and SATA, having one more PCIe slot, dual NIC, and one more SSD m.2 slot.
Honestly it seems like you can’t go wrong with both of them. To me honestly $70 isn’t to much of a difference to get the X670E one. However if I were on a strict budget then the B650E should be absolutely fine and the $70 could go towards getting a better GPU.
Hi Haz, welcome to my channel, you are absolutely right about ASRock quality and after sales services. I myself been using ASRock motherboard since the Z79 era till now.

Hello Ben McBurnie, welcome to my channel. when you purchased a motherbord, it does not comes with motherboard screws. motherboard screws are only provided when you purchase a PC case. or are you trying to ask where are the screw holes located on the motherboard? if so page 33 chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/download.asrock.com/Manual/X670E%20Steel%20Legend_English.pdf ..

Hi M.Indra Soyat, welcome to my channel and thank you to have subscibe to my channel.
I plan to make a pc using this mobo and a 7900x3d or 7800x3d in the future or looking which mobo suits me.
@@Ttblondey I see, that's good. This board has the muscle and whistle, plus the bios is rock stable. currently am using bios version. 1.24
Bro. does the mobo support EXPO
@@Ttblondey yes it does.
Thinking of buying this board and have used ASUS for quite some time and wow this interface is ugly compared to ASUS lol. But if it's functional who cares.
Where was XPO here? I did not see it.
