I wonder if converting them to PCIe slots will work. They have M.2 to PCIe adapter boards. I still don't understand this M.2 obsession. There's plenty of PCIe lanes to fit 7 PCIe slots and a few M.2 slots. I'd be fine with a single x16 slot and 6 x1 to x4 slots.

Hey, I am wondering about PCB breakdown of some really of the cheapest AM5 mobos. I am also wondering abut PCB breakdown of new GB AM4 B450-POOR mobo, that actually is rescuing all the AM4 socket sensibility, because of massive price hike of all the rest of mobos (at least in my region). It is totally cheaped out, but I think it's good enough for Ryzen 5500, 5600, and even X3D that is using really little power.
WARNING If you buy this model then make sure it's from a reputable retailer with a very good RMA customer service, there's a little QC issue with this model and Gigabyte being Gigabyte wont help you at all. buildzoid you're awesome, please make AM5 memory overclock video.
I bought this motherboard and I have the "little' QC issue of getting black screens when I put my CPU under load. Just get another motherboard and save yourselves your time, money and hassles. There's a reason this mobo is this cheap for the features it offers - poor quality control. It's not worth it, believe me.
@@malesulo980 QC = quality control. I've not heard of their Aorus Elite models having this issue. Hopefully you are fine. One way you can test for the issue is if you put a powerful CPU like a 7950x and run OCCT Large Data Set (it's important that it's on the large data set setting) or if you run Corona Benchmark. Prime95 also causes the black screens. It can also happen with other software and even games from what I've heard from other people. I think it has to do with the inability of the motherboard to adequately handle AVX workloads since all of these software use AVX instructions.
Buildzoid a question on this board since you are a trusted genius for me why does Gigabyte boards have issues with DACs on USB ports it has a POP to it that is so noticeable like a switch on and off when there is sound vs no sound does this issue come with some boards and not others? and does it also happen with this board since it is the cheapest in my country and i don't want to get another gigabyte for this issue? i have a z790 Aorus Elite AX DDR4 and i want to get an AMD build with this board. on asus boards this issue is non existent is there an explanation to this or is it a gigabyte thing any insight will be helpful for me thanks in advance
Buildzoid, do you think that this board could run DDR5-7200(OC) in the future if Ryzen 8000 gonna support it? In the other worlds, what RAM limits in case of data rate and latency this board has? Is just a question of software and firmware or hardware has some limits in this as well? I realized it has THB_U4 add-in card connector. Can you anybody say what is this used for? Does anybody has usefull use for this port? Would you make some DDR5 2x32GB SK Hynix with dual rank 16Gb mem chips tests in the future? For example is it possible to overclock Kingston 5200MT/s or 5600MT/s rated dimms to 6200+ MT/s?
> "Mega-Heatpipe & M.2 Thermal Guard III：To Ensure VRM Power Stability & 25110 PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSD Performance" Ah, so the massive heatsink isn't just for the VRMs that you say don't need it, but its connected via Heatpipe top to bottom, so the four M.2 SSD are cooled by it as well, that makes a little bit more sense maybe?
hAVE YOU ENCOUNTERED THE bios battery issue on our master boards? I had to strip my entire setup in order to change out the battery on my Aourus 670E master. I ouldn't believe what a poor design this is and Gigabyte had a bad batch of CRq2032 batteries. Otherwise a goood board.

This board is far too expensive. I'd prefer the B650E-E at this point with 2 PCIe5 x16, or even a X670E-A. We used to argue about the Asus tax back then, with reason, but today they must be the best quality/price boards.
@@ThunderingRoar the x670E-A is a bit less expensive and doesn't sacrifice anything when plugging M.2 drives. It also has a bit better I/O. Yes at 460 it is expensive but this gigabyte is FAR too expensive.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if an EPS12v connector is 18guage and is ~28 inches long isn't it capable of 40A, 480watts (10A per wire)? Do the connectors in the plastic housing affect power that can be drawn?

@@bgtubber I should recieve it tomorrow. I have 7700x and plan to change it for x3d model later. Apparently board is from newer batch thats why i'm still waiting for it. I will definitely check it with load you mentioned and get back here.
So after 24h of intense testing - No problem on my board. Paired with 7700x - one thing that might be unusual is lack of nvme drive right now. I need to prepare it from my old system.
Are they insane with the 16 Vcore VRM phases at 105A each? (so for a total almost 1700A for the CPU alone!) That's how much the high-end HEDT boards used to have when they were sold. If this were a X670E I wouldn't be bickering too much about it, but this is B650E! Damn.
My Threadripper 3000-series motherboard (Asus ROG Strix TRX40-E) has a weaker VRM and it supports 64-core CPUs that can go well above 700 Watts when overclocked. 😂
@@bgtubber Yeah that's the point, especially given that B-series mobos will also go with non-X CPUs that draw 88W max with PBO left off. It's insane and ridiculous.
ngl hella overkill id rather have them cut down on phases and lower the price in return So far though all AM5 board as far as ive seen have really nice VRMs. Even a B550 board has a better VRM than my 3 year old B450 board.
are there standard boards with many pcie slots you can use like that? Afaik most boards have just the slot for the GPU and some small stuff from chipset for another slot or so
I do not recommend this motherboard. There's a reason it's this cheap for the features it offers - some of these mobos are factory defective (AKA poor quality control). They will cause black screens when paired with Ryzen 7950x. Mine was one of those factory defective ones and I've been waiting for weeks for replacement. Check my channel for a video I shot of mine. There are also Reddit threads about this (search B650E Aorus Master black screen). What's worse is some people won't even know this since the problem doesn't happen in every software or game and will think it's their video card, PSU or monitor that's at fault, wasting hours or days of their time when it's the Gigabyte motherboard. For example, I can run hours of Cinebench R23 without any issues, but as soon as I run Corona benchmark, OCCT large dataset or Prime95, I get black screens. Typical for Gigabyte, they are playing dumb and still haven't even officially acknowledged the problem. I wrote to their support and they also "don't know" about this issue. I'm very disappointed with Gigabyte as a company. Just don't buy it. It's not worth the time, money and hassle RMA'ing, believe me.
The big disappointment is DDR5.. when you populate all 4 slots, the speed drops down to 3600. So, yeah, what's the point of DDR5 then. There is no point. My DDR3 ran at 3600...
I have PC black screen freezes with this motherboard and had no comment from Gigabyte support about this asking them if they have new BIOS version that fixes my problem I am probably return this to Amazon and get other manufacture zen 4 motherboard. I wouldn't recommend this motherboard even if the hardware is solid the software is just bad.
can you run cinebench R20 on your board? There seems to be an early batch of this board that's completely broken and not being able to run cinebench is one of the symptoms.
Same here. I get black screens in some software. Check the video on my channel. I don't recommend this motherboard if you don't know if it's an early batch. You will just waste hours or weeks troubleshooting and RMA'ing. Better just get another motherboard.
@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking I can run Cinebench R23 for hours on my B650E Aorus Master, but as soon as I run Corona Benchmark, OCCT large dataset or Prime95, I get the black screens.
If the M.2's aren't run as Gen 5.0, will they still cut the x16 down to an x8? Im eyeing up this board Vs. The ASUS Strix B650e-e and that's just one of my concerns between the two.
@@TheApotheCarrot no it does not so you wouldn't have to worry about it with the x670 boards, but cost more so is it really worth it. I heard that comparing x16 to x8 is about a 3% difference in performance. Both boards are future proof pick your poison lol
"better than to be stuck with troublshooting LEDs" ...bruh, most B650 boards don't even have troubleshooting LEDs either! that is now a premium feature as well, every Tech Support person better get ready to go back to decoding beep morse codes for trouble shooting and have one of them little speakers in their backpack again (because PC cases sure don't come with those obsolete things anymore). Back to 1995 bitches!
I don’t know how you can keep saying that various vrm components are overkill. Do you know what AMD will produce next year and the year after? These boards are supposed to last until 2025 and beyond.
Hi, I appreciate your content, but you are wrong. X670E master PCIE 5.0 connectivity is not the same like B650E. There is no PCIe sharing with M.2. Although X670E Aorus Extreme has same sharing..... I am confused at this point.... Please make Breakdown of X670E aorus Master board!!!
This is the board i would've really wanted for my AM5 rig but it's about twice the price of my B650 TUF and so gigabyte can go ram skittles up their noses. It's closing in on the cost of a PS5 without the disc drive.

Even a B550 board has a better VRM than my 3 year old B450 board.
: How does heat scale with switching freq.? Does anyone know? Like it doubles from 500 kHz to 1000 kHz so 30W in this case?
How about Gen4 16x+Gen4 8x+Gen3 16x?! Redrive that Gen5 shit already!
tachyon next?
Wouldn't it make more sense to just buy a standard board and use PCIE to m.2 adapters?
are there standard boards with many pcie slots you can use like that? Afaik most boards have just the slot for the GPU and some small stuff from chipset for another slot or so
Im having a hard time getting either this board B650E or the B650 Aorus Elite AX.
Which one did you get? I have the same problem right now 😅
@@linos1085 got the B650 Aorus Elite AX.
B650E
I do not recommend this motherboard. There's a reason it's this cheap for the features it offers - some of these mobos are factory defective (AKA poor quality control). They will cause black screens when paired with Ryzen 7950x. Mine was one of those factory defective ones and I've been waiting for weeks for replacement. Check my channel for a video I shot of mine. There are also Reddit threads about this (search B650E Aorus Master black screen). What's worse is some people won't even know this since the problem doesn't happen in every software or game and will think it's their video card, PSU or monitor that's at fault, wasting hours or days of their time when it's the Gigabyte motherboard. For example, I can run hours of Cinebench R23 without any issues, but as soon as I run Corona benchmark, OCCT large dataset or Prime95, I get black screens. Typical for Gigabyte, they are playing dumb and still haven't even officially acknowledged the problem. I wrote to their support and they also "don't know" about this issue. I'm very disappointed with Gigabyte as a company. Just don't buy it. It's not worth the time, money and hassle RMA'ing, believe me.
Pls do x670 taichi
The big disappointment is DDR5.. when you populate all 4 slots, the speed drops down to 3600. So, yeah, what's the point of DDR5 then. There is no point. My DDR3 ran at 3600...
I have PC black screen freezes with this motherboard and had no comment from Gigabyte support about this asking them if they have new BIOS version that fixes my problem I am probably return this to Amazon and get other manufacture zen 4 motherboard. I wouldn't recommend this motherboard even if the hardware is solid the software is just bad.
can you run cinebench R20 on your board? There seems to be an early batch of this board that's completely broken and not being able to run cinebench is one of the symptoms.
Same here. I get black screens in some software. Check the video on my channel. I don't recommend this motherboard if you don't know if it's an early batch. You will just waste hours or weeks troubleshooting and RMA'ing. Better just get another motherboard.
@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking I can run Cinebench R23 for hours on my B650E Aorus Master, but as soon as I run Corona Benchmark, OCCT large dataset or Prime95, I get the black screens.
And I had black screen 1 second I after clicked the Reply button 🤣
@@bgtubber R23 doesn't use AVX AFAIK. Which is why I said R20 specifically.
If the M.2's aren't run as Gen 5.0, will they still cut the x16 down to an x8?
Im eyeing up this board Vs. The ASUS Strix B650e-e and that's just one of my concerns between the two.
yes it's a switch that moves whole lanes, what they run as does not matter, it's electrically connected to the SSD and not the GPU
@@marcogenovesi8570 Sad and annoying. Welp, ASUS it is.
@@TheApotheCarrot all b650e boards are the same using 2 or more m.2
@Nistical Boo. Do you know if X670e has the same disappointing feature?
@@TheApotheCarrot no it does not so you wouldn't have to worry about it with the x670 boards, but cost more so is it really worth it. I heard that comparing x16 to x8 is about a 3% difference in performance. Both boards are future proof pick your poison lol
"better than to be stuck with troublshooting LEDs" ...bruh, most B650 boards don't even have troubleshooting LEDs either!
that is now a premium feature as well, every Tech Support person better get ready to go back to decoding beep morse codes for trouble shooting and have one of them little speakers in their backpack again (because PC cases sure don't come with those obsolete things anymore). Back to 1995 bitches!
I don’t know how you can keep saying that various vrm components are overkill. Do you know what AMD will produce next year and the year after? These boards are supposed to last until 2025 and beyond.
when will you do the x670e extreme??
probably never
@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking how come?
@@j2ballybatty expensive man lol
Hi, I appreciate your content, but you are wrong. X670E master PCIE 5.0 connectivity is not the same like B650E. There is no PCIe sharing with M.2. Although X670E Aorus Extreme has same sharing..... I am confused at this point....
Please make Breakdown of X670E aorus Master board!!!
This is the board i would've really wanted for my AM5 rig but it's about twice the price of my B650 TUF and so gigabyte can go ram skittles up their noses. It's closing in on the cost of a PS5 without the disc drive.
