Hey, if it works it works. I know people who drive 20 year old Toyotas with close to a million miles on em...their vehicles are worth next to nothing, but they keep on going.
The stated cost savings of DDR4 vs DDR5 at this point is becoming pretty moot. The DDR5 version of this mobo is $5 more and 32GB of "good" DDR5 is $25 more than 32GB of "good" DDR4. 30 bucks is 100% going to be worth the performance/getting into the current memory gen.
Pretty much. I get it, if you're shopping $30-50 RAM kits by sorting low-to-high on Amazon then this message isn't relevant for you. But, DDR5 is so much cheaper now than it was on release that if you're willing to spend anywhere near $100 for 32GB of RAM, you're screwing yourself out of 5% or more performance. Not only that, but that DDR4 is going to be trash likely come next generation when you want to upgrade.
Yeah, I would get the DDR5 version of the mobo, and just get the cheapest ram. Wait until DDR5 matures, then buy new ram after a bios update. Future proofing.
@@ChronoXShadow The memory controllers on current DDR5 platforms are gonna get left behind by the ICs of the future Alder Lake already can't make any use of A-die, let alone M-die. Splashing out for the expensive stuff over Samsung stuff to put in an Alder Lake rig doesn't make any sense right now imagine how far ahead DDR5 is gonna be in two years. Even the Raptor Lake IMC has the largest variance since Haswell where ya might get an A-die 8600 capable banger, ya might get one that takes days to just figure out how to get back into BIOS at 7600.
So just for LTTs reference, the reason Eternal runs so well is two fold, one, their visual shading is fairly basic instructions wise, at least the part that counts within code, and secondly, they stream elements in and out constantly as you move around and look around, to where anything it doesn't need is culled so that you never are giving performance up to render something your not seeing or needing on the screen or around you. Digital Foundry goes over the latter half of that explanation in their Doom Eternal - Id Tech 7 video.
The streaming is probably the reason why Eternal ran much better than DooM 2016 on my old FX 6300 + GTX 960 2gb. Already updated to 11400f+2060 12gbs, but I love the optimization on Eternal, I barely saw anything on nightmare with everything on low and all, but I was able to complete the game on that junk.
@@LoneWanderer905 Well the issue with Doom 2016 was less of a streaming not existing issue, and more the route they took that streaming later took over, which was Megatexture, which was textures atlas-ed into one big texture streamed at once into the game for use in an entire level or for a set of objects. The problem with Megatexture was that if something went off screen, the entire megatexture had to be reloaded, re-mipmapped, and you could see this happen often due to the constant need to do so. This is why Eternal fairs better, because streaming only cares to cull what is not needed entirely, not what is needing culled as one file that later has to be called back to functioning anyway a few seconds later.
Culling is a technique used since games and graphics rendering first began being created, it's nothing new. That's just how, specifically here, game engines work.. ID Tech does have some different asset streaming techniques, but that and culling is not the real reason for performance.
So this is why the asus tuf 4070ti I wanted went up to 850… jokes aside I really like the tuf lineup for its great price to performance and nice aesthetics that aren’t too flashy
7:26 I imagine it's a mix of Lian Li's O11 Dynamic (Evo?) and maybe Corsair's Crystal series like 680x for example. It was definitely Love at first sight for me when I found out about this PC case. I think I've never purchased something so fast off the internet. 🤣
I def got it even though I had wanted something more stylish, I saw this and got it (but from another video about 2-3 weeks before this video released).
@@fluzzles I got the Asus Tuf 4090....I have it mounted to my board directly (eventually I want to vertical mount). The length of the card leaves me with about 4 or so inches still clear. On the width (from board to the main glass) I have about 1 inch maybe a bit less, but still plenty room for my cable (I got the Corsair 5.0 cable so I only have to run 2 plugs into 1) and gave it a slight bend so it would clear the glass, but not so much that I might start a fire
@@fluzzles this video, at about the 10 minute 30 second mark shows a GPU the size of mine and how it fits in the case, just for some visual reference. th-cam.com/video/PPgsRNxi-yA/w-d-xo.html
I've always wondered if people buy the TUF cases. Every time I see one in the store I think, "That is different and ugly." I also don't personally know anyone who has used one.
It’s a great case a few good features and a couple of problems. It’s also a great way to stand out from the masses of people who buy Lian Li/Corsair cases.
@@TheSjuris 100% agree with your entire statement. Came here to say the same exact thing. I think his opinion is subjective in terms of how it looks, I personally love mine (same case). It just has this very industrial, rugged look about it.
I love my ancient z77 tuf motherboard for my 3770k. It was one of the first motherboards that actually utilized the dust/cooling shroud, and having been in overly dusty environments for a long time, I attribute the shroud to keeping my mobo alive. I did switch out 1 of the tiny motherboard fans for a noctua one to help make it quieter. Finally starting to be insufficient, but been a solid machine for the last 10 years.
i just built a new rig around the 13900K to replace my 4770K system. the 4770K has been rock solid for the last ~8 years and is now my home theater pc in the living room.
The fact that Asus markets the TUF line as being more mainstream and affordable while also selling custom 40 series cards for more than the reference version within that line is a little funny but, oh well.
Asus has done a lot of cool stuff on their motherboards. Just built on a TUFF board and was very impressed with the convenience of sines of those little features like the M.2 quick release
@@GigawattGarage good stuff, Asus is on top of their softwares thank God. Gigabyte is ridiculously dumb how bad it is and how they still in business is beyond understanding hahaha
I'm running the same case and I like it a lot. I watched the maybe handful of videos that were out on it and decided to give it a chance...0 regrets. Has minor quirks, but all in all I still like the case. I'm running the Asus B550 ProArt motherboard with 64 gigs of RAM (DDR4 @3600mhz), Ryzen 5950x and a 3090ti, powered by Corsair HX 1200 80+ Platinum. As time goes I will be upgrading most of these parts but the case and PSU will stay...first purchase we'll be an Asus Tuf 4090....after that I will give it several months for the DDR5 problems to settle a little and see who has better price to performance to power and heat. I have no problem going 13900k if they happen to be the ones to go with.
I have a custom all Asus build. It's absolutely great! Got the Tuf Gaming z790 Plus Wifi with a 13900KS Corsair Vengeance RBG 6400mhz DDR5 ROG Strix LC II 360 AIO ROG Strix RTX 4080 (OC edition) ROG Strix 850G (Upgrading to a 1200w Thor Platinum II soon) Got a Samsung 980 Pro with Heatsink M.2 1tb (Getting the 990 Pro with heatsink 2tb soon) All sitting in a Tuf Gaming GT501 Case (Massive Case) Pushing 1440p ultrawide on a Gigabyte G34WQC I'm really impressed with this build and I'm even a little bit power capped at the moment. Asus is the way to go
My five systems are ASUS motherboards and video cards. I moved entirely into ASUS for those components about ten years ago, from totally mixed brands. I used to buy the ASUS TUF models, now I buy the ASUS ROG models. They are expensive but I really like the features and quality. I have never had a single system component failure in at least a decade.
Asus boards are awesome and they last I have 2 Asus boards from way back in 2005 and 2006 and they still both work and just recently I bought an Asus board b450 prime and built a pc with that and so far I like it. I plan on putting the 2 old asus boards and cpus back into a case soon I'm just waiting for the right time and the right price to do it.
I just did an Asus build today. Asus B650E-E Gaming WiFi, 7900X, DDR5 6000, 980 Pro 1TB, 4TB m2 gaming drive, 4080 FE, be quiet! Pure Rock 2 FX (dual fans), be quiet! Light Wings for the rest of the case( two 140s and two 120s), and NZXT H5 Flow
I'm waiting to see what becomes of the mobo with the connectors on the back. Been toying with that as an idea for years and I'm excited to see it for real.
Not enough cases have carry handles. I've been wanting something to swap out my Corsair C70 but love the handles when it comes to cleaning/maintenance. I also need to have space for a couple 3.5" drives.
The case has a lot of space for various 3.5 drives, at least on the back there is a caddy that can hold up to two I believe and if you set fans on the side by removing the covers you can attach those covers to the back radiator support and set two 3.5 drives in there. That's what I did.
I think if short circuit does something that LTT could do they should do it fundamentally different. Instead of just using shorter cuts what if you presented the built pc and then took it apart to talk about the individual pieces. Or took a working pc and changed out the parts to show more of a process than oh we build new pcs.
Just finished putting my Tuf build together. Ryzen 5600x with Noctua nh-d15s Tuf gaming x570 pro wifi Tuf rx6700xt oc Wd black sn850x 1gb 16gb ram Tuf gt501 case I think I might need to add a set of those fans.
The metal trim on the PCI slot is for shielding, the gen5 has much higher data speeds per line which means its more sensitive to interference. Its flimsy metal trim, it would do almost nothing to support the high density plastic housing.
Wow this is a well timed vid. Been running the 502 white case for the last 2 years, and building in 2 more of them at the end of the month for some friends. Perfect to show them beforehand. Case is truly massive but makes building everything in it so much easier.
I'd rather have a full secondary 16x slot and more USB headers than 4 M.2 slots. It's more convenient to add a SATA drive than to add a USB expansion card and hope it works flawlessly.
That button release is nice to ahve but stupid also... it brakes way to easy... i had 2 STRIX boards RMAed due to it... Also besides ASUS all 4070Tis use 3 DP and 1 HDMI
Is really TUF the more affordable option? at least from 2020 onwards, usually GPUs compete with flagships in terms of performance and build quality, unlike Eagle or Ventus.
0:49: "The D4 meaning that this board uses ddr4, which is a great way to keep the cost down on a new build like this." Meanwhile: has a 4070 TI on the table
Thinking about building an all TUF AM5 build, so this vid makes my OCD kick in a bit (yes, they have TUF PSUs and what about TUF AIO? Bugs me they only have 240 though).
"wiring individual fans is very annoying" **not me, looking at the 8 fans connected to 3 controllers and remembering the beautiful cable management job that took me far too long to route, realizing i very soon have to undo ALL of the work to add EVEN MORE fans for the upcoming water loop i have planned** naaaaaah, it's TOTALLY worth it 😊
In the middle of a full TUF build, GT502, Asus TUF Z790, 13900k, Asus TUF 4090 OC, 64Gb DDR5 6200 mhz Dom Plats, 2Tb 980 Pro m.2 (x2), waiting on Asus TUF 1200w ATX 3.0 psu, & full EKWB water cooling.
I recently finished a build with a B660 Creator board. It has most of the benefits of this TUF board, but the push button GPU release is a cool feature, and mine doesn't have the reinforced PCI-E slot.
Well that was a kid tier build a year ago now it’s priced like a top of the line. But it’s still a great build and would love to have it. Great vid and here’s to the future
Worth mentioning that the new TUF G psus (750w, 850w, and 1000w gold rated) come with ATX 3.0 and direct-slot 16 pin power connector standard so you don't have to fiddle with the adapters and extra cable connections. Plus they're well priced too. Don't see any other reputable psu manufacturers offering ATX 3.0 and 16pin connection at this price range (or any price range, really). Asus got out super early with this stuff at good prices.
I had an Asus plre build that would always switch fans to full speed after sleep, then ALL wifi functionality stopped working neither pcie usb services would actually allow a stable connection.
"Military grade" is such a funny marketing term. To the general public it's like oh ya must be good. But then you actually get into doing military work and you realize it means the cheapest one the military can get that meets their specs (sometimes)
A behemoth case needs a SFX PSU. But worth it because all that glass is so peertty. Uuh for next build, I have a cool idea...do a case with glass panels all around, with 24 ARGB fans making noise at each other. And external GPU - CPU to solve the heat problem. I'm a genius
5:37 "military grade" meaning the cheapest thing that actually works
Hey, if it works it works. I know people who drive 20 year old Toyotas with close to a million miles on em...their vehicles are worth next to nothing, but they keep on going.
like the military, Asus boards blow stuff up too
Also, millitary grade means "guaranteed within specs"

That button release is nice to ahve but stupid also... it brakes way to easy... i had 2 STRIX boards RMAed due to it... Also besides ASUS all 4070Tis use 3 DP and 1 HDMI
I like seeing the neo ram on an Intel system. I always wondered if there was any issues with cross compatibility
Damn pretty TUF PC ya got there.
Is really TUF the more affordable option? at least from 2020 onwards, usually GPUs compete with flagships in terms of performance and build quality, unlike Eagle or Ventus.
This video has big tv cooking guide energy for some reason
0:49: "The D4 meaning that this board uses ddr4, which is a great way to keep the cost down on a new build like this."
Meanwhile: has a 4070 TI on the table
Yes because at 1440p/4K (which is what you'll be using this kind of card for) 4070ti increases performance over last gen, ddr5 doesn't
Thats the point? You can get the higher end of DDR4 and save cost to get a better graphics card.
I used to have a TUF Subertooth motherboard. What a cool motherboard it was.
Funny how Jake seems to always be one off when he is reading numbers :)
Thinking about building an all TUF AM5 build, so this vid makes my OCD kick in a bit (yes, they have TUF PSUs and what about TUF AIO? Bugs me they only have 240 though).
hi Jake, did you know that in wikipedia under "half-assing a video" is a link to this one?
"wiring individual fans is very annoying"
**not me, looking at the 8 fans connected to 3 controllers and remembering the beautiful cable management job that took me far too long to route, realizing i very soon have to undo ALL of the work to add EVEN MORE fans for the upcoming water loop i have planned** naaaaaah, it's TOTALLY worth it 😊
You. Mounted. The. Cpu. Screen. SIDEWAYS. AHHHHHH
In the middle of a full TUF build, GT502, Asus TUF Z790, 13900k, Asus TUF 4090 OC, 64Gb DDR5 6200 mhz Dom Plats, 2Tb 980 Pro m.2 (x2), waiting on Asus TUF 1200w ATX 3.0 psu, & full EKWB water cooling.
It would be nice to see the basic power button the 300 series had
TUF gaming gpus got the cleanest designs.
I recently finished a build with a B660 Creator board. It has most of the benefits of this TUF board, but the push button GPU release is a cool feature, and mine doesn't have the reinforced PCI-E slot.
4:38 This is not Aorus sync; that is a different brand entirely.
Well that was a kid tier build a year ago now it’s priced like a top of the line. But it’s still a great build and would love to have it. Great vid and here’s to the future
If I buy an Asus TUF motherboard, will it come with a CMOS battery and a box? Or do I need to buy a more expensive model to get those accessories?
I have an all TUF AMD build and absolutely love it, looking at sticking with TUF for my next build.
Is there a performance difference for sticking to one vendor? All MSI, all ASRock etc.?
no
"It's a 275$ motherboard. You could tell me it's a 300$ motherboard." :D
Worth mentioning that the new TUF G psus (750w, 850w, and 1000w gold rated) come with ATX 3.0 and direct-slot 16 pin power connector standard so you don't have to fiddle with the adapters and extra cable connections. Plus they're well priced too. Don't see any other reputable psu manufacturers offering ATX 3.0 and 16pin connection at this price range (or any price range, really). Asus got out super early with this stuff at good prices.
bought a B660 TUF wifi plus and i love it
I wonder how Asus likes that you called Aura sync Aorus sync :D
Looks like you forgot to change the name card icon to a monitor! 9:55
I had an Asus plre build that would always switch fans to full speed after sleep, then ALL wifi functionality stopped working neither pcie usb services would actually allow a stable connection.
"Military grade" is such a funny marketing term. To the general public it's like oh ya must be good. But then you actually get into doing military work and you realize it means the cheapest one the military can get that meets their specs (sometimes)
8:06 you could build a case with only fans 🤣
What mouse is Jake using towards the end of the video?
aorus sync ? you call out a gigabyte name in an asus sponsored vid !! focus jake , focus !
9:24 it means Dragon God~
Wahh…thats a new one to short circuit..from disassembling…to assembling a pc
It's like the Corsair Air 540 case, but a "rugged" version instead.
amazing that this video still came out after the xeon hitpiece. way to take it like a man, Intel. *sardonic smirk, before anyone piles on*
Did you put the CPU cooler on sideways? Is that the mounting system's fault for a $760 AIO made by Asus on an Asus motherboard?
A behemoth case needs a SFX PSU. But worth it because all that glass is so peertty.
Uuh for next build, I have a cool idea...do a case with glass panels all around, with 24 ARGB fans making noise at each other. And external GPU - CPU to solve the heat problem. I'm a genius
