X870E Nova is the best value $349 for 5 M2 SSD slots, up to 8400hz RAM, EZ release, 23 power stages, backplate, 5gb LAN, and most importantly of all NO LANE SHARING
@@ShadowAngelS2K true that :D, No lane sharing is actually a very neat thing. Thanks for pointing that out. Even the MSI Carbon which is a lot more expensive shares the primary PCIE lanes between M.2 and graphics.
No more Asus for me. Asus let me down when they decided to put out a bios for the x670e-e that blocks EXPO all because they thought my memory was too hot so I'm stuck on 0805. F THEM!
I feel like there is no reliable motherboard maker any more: my Gigabyte X670 board won't run EXPO since the SoC voltage reduction BIOS last year, MSI also have EXPO stability problems, Asus has issues, ASRock are famous for bad BIOS but seem to be improving
good review, i would personally enjoy if you told the pcie connectivity electrically since most of the port are x16 physically but the connection is most likely x1 or x4 for the bottom slots.
I purchased (shortly after launch) the Asus X670E-I w/ the Hive adapter for roughly €330 including local taxes here in Australia 🇦🇺 and it’s the same ITX motherboard as the X870-I from Asus ….. except motherboard name and bios revision (bios can easily be updated without a cpu anyhow) I believe the X670E-I is a much better choice and still features 2x USB4 ports which is as “future proof” as the new model which is waaay more pricier!
But again a huge case for a huge motherboard. Lack of mATX and mini-ITX. Also I need those boards with bifurcation. A hassle to figure out most of the time.
Are you going to go over msi as well? Also as someone else said could you go over what lanes are shared, like what shares lanes with the gpu and what might get disabled when using certain slots. Thank you!
Thank you for the exposition of the Asus boards. I'm still convinced the MSI Tomahawk (€299) is the correct choice for me. VRM's are a non issue with X870 boards. It's all 14 stages or up. All of them are overkill. The lack of a Toshiba optical SPDIF is a straight disqualification for me. (Afgekeurd!) I mean, I could do without, but I don't want to do without. The lack of USB 2.0 ports is something to consider. It's madness to plug a mouse, a keyboard, printer, headphones, etc., into 10Gb+ ports. USB 2.0 ports are useful and reliable. And they don't require PCIe lanes, or drivers. Some other reviewers pointed out memory stability problems with Asus, ASRock and Gigabyte. Only their top tier >€450 boards can run the highest currently available EXPO profile kits (8000MT/s) without stability problems. Except for MSI. The whole MSI X870(x) line up is stable with the highest currently available EXPO profiles. Now, I'm not actually buying an 8000 MT/s kit. But still I prefer a known stable platform. I think this generation MSI is on top. And the Tomahawk comes with optical SPDIF and a postcode display. My 2nd choice would be the ASRock X870 Pro RS. Cheapest in class and most bang for buck in class. Including optical SPDIF and troubleshooting LEDs.

Over time I expect the X870-I to replace old X670E-I stock, but for now it's definitely not worth paying a lot more for, if at all. I bet anyone that bought one at the time feels happy now though!
Even troubleshooting LEDs are insufficient. There are very very few motherboards out there so cheap that they should not ship with freaking post code seven segment displays. It's a basic feature!
I found myself leaning towards X870E because the price range is so close to the base x870 line up for a lot of the boards. The cost of the boards are generally too high in relation to AM4 boards (+100 accros the range). Hopefully these boards get supported for another 2-3 cpu generations to offset the price increase.
You have to go to an Intel platform for Thunderbolt? I know they can't call it that because of licensing issues, but is that not the whole point of X870?
I have the Asus Strix X870-A to go with my 9800X3D going in a corsair 6500X in an all white build. I have all corsair white QX 120 fans and icue link 360mm AIO. the last piece will be a 5090 preferably the Asus Rog Strix OC in white.
It is a shame that only the TUF model has an extra "Rear" audio connector. Many legacy four-channel audio systems need both the front- and the rear- signals. I wonder if any of the Asus boards support extra thermistors. It is really useful to measure the temperature of a tower cooler or the backplate of the graphics card to control the case fans. The ASRock Taichi (lite) even comes with the thermistors!
I am thinking of switching from X670E-I to X870-I because I am upgrading to 10Gbps internet and I want Wifi 7, and I've been tweaking my RAM a lot.... and I really like the Clear CMOS button on the back of the motherboard as my SFF can't let me reach the jumper.
Ridiculous prices and lineup. Seriously 99% of high-end gamers now use one PCIE slot, 1-3 M.2s, don't use SATA fullstop, and are screaming out for debug code display. Who the hell needs a board with 5 M.2s? Can't stand ASUS pricing and differentiation.
i am still waiting if we get a new all white motherboard with the backside connectors for am5... the only one i know of is the aorus b650e stealth ice, but i cant find any information about anything comparable....
I've narrowed it down to 2 options: Budget: ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Plus WiFi $420 CAD Premium: ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming WiFi $675 CAD If I don't care about overclocking do i just get the budget one? Or does the ROG Strix give better Wifi or something useful? I'll be getting a 9800X3D and a RTX 5070/80/90 (depending on $/frame)
Assuming you: - Don't need the extra storage, USB options or postcode that the Strix offers - Don't care about the Strix looks - Don't care about extreme overclocking Then I really don't see why you would pay more for the Strix -E. I didn't dive further into the WiFi but I really doubt it'll make a meaningful difference, if at all. But you'd gain more in your gaming experience by spending the extra 250-ish dollars on anything else: GPU, storage, display, peripherals, etc.
@@TechTestersHi, I purchased strix x870e-e initially but i wanted to do white build so wanted to get x870a now. But i don't think the shop would accept returns, So is the e really a better board than a?
X870E Hero is disappointing compared to the X670E Hero due to losing said rear USB-A, because with how cards are right now I don't think any one requires a second card at the bottom. But as a person with several peripherals six does not allow me much wiggle room, lol. Also where is the 10GB? Why a 2.5 and 5G? When a singular 10GB could be excellent? There is also the issue of the top M.2 slot of the X870E Hero getting much warmer then competitors by up to at least 10 degrees.
I was waiting for this one! I've been on the fence with Asus for a while and wanted to see what they had to offer across their line in the 870 chipset Edit: might have to wait and see what MSI has to offer, not super impressed with the Asus lineup, at least not for the prices
Very good overview, shame that Asus really prices themselves out of the market(well they should, people buy them regardless ... ). Base models from other brands are around 40-50 euros less then the Prime. Unsure exactly from memory how the VRAMs and feature sets stack up, but i assume they are comperable. on the same price point as the Prime i find proper high-mid range boards from Gigabyte and MSI which i would choose 10/10 over the Prime. i went with a gigabyte aorus elite x870e motherboard myself, It was around 10 euros more then the Prime, but came with 4 NVMe slots, debug led, easy disconnects of all NVMe slots, full pcie lanes, included power and cmos buttons on mobo.
I don't know jack shit about motherboards, I've never been able to wrap my head around the models, features, and their differences. I'm still waiting on my 9800X3D but it's on backorder so I'm trying to figure out a good mobo and I've narrowed it down to either an X870 or B650E as long as they support DDR5 6000, but specifically for the 5.0 PCIe slot for the new 50 series card I'll be getting when they release. I'm not looking to break the bank but I can, don't care about USB4, I mostly use speakers so decent audio would be nice, and I don't care about overclocking. I was looking at an MSI X870 Tomahawk but I have no idea how that compares to any of these boards, the TUF Gaming looks to be fairly similar at the same price? Are there any boards that people would recommend?
As far as I know any AM5 board can run 6000 MT/s in 1:1 mode (it is actually not a very high speed anymore) thus that cannot limit your choices. Audio-wise what speakers do you have? In my opinion for anything above 2x5W the on-board audio is out of question: the amplifier is simply too weak to drive such speakers. It is better to buy an external DAC - even a cheap one can serve well. (Once I tested my SB Audigy FX 5.1 against the Gigabyte B650 on-board audio, because they have the same ALC 892 chip. Even the SB sounded much better than the on-board on my Edifier R1280Ts. And recently a bought an external DAC for around 35 Euros. I think it is better investment than the on-board audio, you can carry it into future builds.) I had a Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX until it went wrong, even twice because I returned to the manufacturer and they "repaired" it under warranty. It looks really good and feels quality, but based on my experience I am not sure if it represents quality only optically. Otherwise I would be able to recommend a Gigabyte X870 board.
The Tomahawk is generally a good mid-ish-tier board for most builds, just like the TUF is. Pretty much just check if they offer enough storage and USB options, and if you like the look and price where you live. Can't go wrong with either and both should run popular DDR5-6000 c30 kits without issues.
I hear all these m.2 slots and pciex16 slots and I salivate but I'm waiting to hear about shared bandwidth and it never comes. Maybe shared bandwidth isn't a thing with these boards and I'm sensitive to shared bandwidth after learning about it the hard way. Links to each board's manual would be sweet. Great presentation though!
I wished the 16 and 12 core models were also presented now, motherboards expensive as usual unfortunately. even if I will probably buy the 16 core 9950x3d I won't buy anything more expensive than the TUF. money are better spent of faster RAM.
I'm thinking ProArt for a 9000s cpu. More nvme than I need but looks good. Still have a lot of small spinning disks to get rid of. Guess I'm runnning late on the tech.
Intel and AMD need to improve. Intel's prices are too high for their specs, while the Mac M4 offers great performance at a lower cost. A Mac mini M4 could be cheaper than building an AMD setup that matches its performance... AMD is not the ideal choice for video editing or Adobe software applications. In comparison, Intel and Nvidia perform well in these tasks...
Launch prices are usually pretty high, just give it time. I think I saw a B650-A Strix board the other day for 180 euros or so, about half the launch price.
Belle présentation, il faut reconaitre que les concepteurs de cartes font de magnifiques produits. Se que je déplore, sais la course à la puissance; toujours plus de Watt, de RAM, bientôt il faudra avoir des mini climatiseurs pour refroidir CPU, GPU etc; sans oublié le groupe électrogène pour alimenter un simple ordinateur de particulier! et pourquoi?. Des jeux, que les concepteurs ne cherchent pas à améliorer en profondeur pour leurs garder une consomation raisonable en utilisation. Beaucoup des superbes produits que vous nous avez présentée depuis la reprise, vu les prix!, ne seront pas accessibles pour beaucoup d'entre nous!. Puis-je vous demander, dans vos futures vidéos "si possible" de traiter le sujet des "Mini PC" qui par raport au reste du monde de l'informatique évolue aussi. Depuis 4, 5 ans que je vous suis je n'ai pas souvenir de vous avoir vue traiter ce sujet. Au plaisir de la prochaine vidéo. Merci.
I am just wondering how much is Asus paying for these videos. This is not not the first seeing only Asus lineup like nothing else exists. Hugely overpriced boards with not even basic features and functionality that are present on other boards this gneration. For example X870E Nova board is shitting with price to performance to anything presented here. Sure it is eternaly sold out but for a reason. Not even a review on youtube. Ask your self why.

- ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Plus WiFi: ~€330, better VRMs, better audio. Recommended midrange board.
- ASUS ROG Strix X870-A Gaming WiFi: ~€420, white, slight improvement
- ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming WiFi: ~€540, higher end, better VRMs
- ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero: ~660€, offers 2nd PCIE gen 5 slot, hard to recommend unless doing extreme overclocking
- ASUS ProArt X870E-Creator WiFi: nicer design, 10 GbE LAN, faster USB, heatsinks on all nvme slots, 2x Gen5 expansion slots - ASUS ROG Strix X870-I Gaming WiFi: ITX, ~€500, recommends older X670 version instead

It is better to buy an external DAC - even a cheap one can serve well. (Once I tested my SB Audigy FX 5.1 against the Gigabyte B650 on-board audio, because they have the same ALC 892 chip. Even the SB sounded much better than the on-board on my Edifier R1280Ts. And recently a bought an external DAC for around 35 Euros. I think it is better investment than the on-board audio, you can carry it into future builds.)
I had a Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX until it went wrong, even twice because I returned to the manufacturer and they "repaired" it under warranty. It looks really good and feels quality, but based on my experience I am not sure if it represents quality only optically. Otherwise I would be able to recommend a Gigabyte X870 board.
The Tomahawk is generally a good mid-ish-tier board for most builds, just like the TUF is. Pretty much just check if they offer enough storage and USB options, and if you like the look and price where you live. Can't go wrong with either and both should run popular DDR5-6000 c30 kits without issues.
Meh, not worth it, I'll stick with my X670E.
Great video but may I give you some constructive feedback please? Please timestamp each motherboard…
There are timestamps for each board? :)
only asus? is this sponsored material?
I hear all these m.2 slots and pciex16 slots and I salivate but I'm waiting to hear about shared bandwidth and it never comes. Maybe shared bandwidth isn't a thing with these boards and I'm sensitive to shared bandwidth after learning about it the hard way. Links to each board's manual would be sweet. Great presentation though!
finally x870😊, but why AMD doesn't have 2-channel ram like rog apex🤔
1:29 with their AI all over the place I need another AI to help me choose the product from their product line lmao
just here this early to report some bots and watch the vid😅
I wished the 16 and 12 core models were also presented now, motherboards expensive as usual unfortunately. even if I will probably buy the 16 core 9950x3d I won't buy anything more expensive than the TUF. money are better spent of faster RAM.
Pcie 5.0 ?
12:00 Below 300 euro for the entry level board sounds appealing? I'd rather go for a decent B650 board for half the price.
Mboard prices are climbing just as graphics cards' prices..very soon we will see a $1000 board...or they already have one?😅
I'm thinking ProArt for a 9000s cpu. More nvme than I need but looks good. Still have a lot of small spinning disks to get rid of. Guess I'm runnning late on the tech.
not worth it:
- cheap vrm
- no debug lcd
- cheap audio
- no secondary 10gbe
I'll pass on this sponsored commercial. Overpriced....there ya go. Just saved you 15 minutes
Intel and AMD need to improve. Intel's prices are too high for their specs, while the Mac M4 offers great performance at a lower cost. A Mac mini M4 could be cheaper than building an AMD setup that matches its performance...
AMD is not the ideal choice for video editing or Adobe software applications. In comparison, Intel and Nvidia perform well in these tasks...
I think the Proart M.2s are all pcie gen5.
2x Gen5 and 2x Gen4 iirc. Which realistically is plenty.
Avoid trash asus
I'm still running x570, LOL
See video from you - push the like!
aSUS brand, wow, I hate it because it is faulty. Same with the company and people that work there.
The *** has happened to motherboard prices? Damn.
Launch prices are usually pretty high, just give it time. I think I saw a B650-A Strix board the other day for 180 euros or so, about half the launch price.
Still overpriced as their "new" best to wait like 6 months or get X670E.
Damn that's a reason to go B760i alone with an Intel chip! That's some serious money to go AMD!
Belle présentation, il faut reconaitre que les concepteurs de cartes font de magnifiques produits.
Se que je déplore, sais la course à la puissance; toujours plus de Watt, de RAM, bientôt il faudra avoir des mini climatiseurs pour refroidir CPU, GPU etc; sans oublié le groupe électrogène pour alimenter un simple ordinateur de particulier! et pourquoi?. Des jeux, que les concepteurs ne cherchent pas à améliorer en profondeur pour leurs garder une consomation raisonable en utilisation.
Beaucoup des superbes produits que vous nous avez présentée depuis la reprise, vu les prix!, ne seront pas accessibles pour beaucoup d'entre nous!.
Puis-je vous demander, dans vos futures vidéos "si possible" de traiter le sujet des "Mini PC" qui par raport au reste du monde de l'informatique évolue aussi. Depuis 4, 5 ans que je vous suis je n'ai pas souvenir de vous avoir vue traiter ce sujet.
Au plaisir de la prochaine vidéo. Merci.
never using asus after all the scam they pulled.
all overpriced .
12:07 i pass, greedy AMD ...tfuj tajxl !!!
I am just wondering how much is Asus paying for these videos. This is not not the first seeing only Asus lineup like nothing else exists. Hugely overpriced boards with not even basic features and functionality that are present on other boards this gneration. For example X870E Nova board is shitting with price to performance to anything presented here. Sure it is eternaly sold out but for a reason. Not even a review on youtube. Ask your self why.
😊
