Nick, you're a star! Love your channel and above all trust your opinions and advice.

Looking great guys 😊

Can't wait to see the finished Video.

Great video fams. That view across the water in Hong Kong looks incredible.

When you visit HK, you should definitely check out Sham Shui Po, the district is filled with tech and they call that the HK Akihabara

I go to Gear Seekers to learn about Secret Tech Things!

I like the travel vlog. just you two having fun, crossing off bucket list items etc, trying to maximise a work trip for pleasure is incredibly interesting. you should bring a skateboard everywhere and start reviewing skateparks or scenic skate-able surfaces. Or maybe HK disneyland next time.

could I use 360 AIO for cpu instead of the GPU card???

Asrock? More like ShitRock

Damn that enormous red graphics card was almost as atrocious as I thought it would be in this build, but at last it happens to be OK. Build would have been much cleaner with a Asus Pro Art for example

I want it just because it’s so smol

Fan case name?

Maybe a stupid question. But does this mobo support 3 screens/monitors (hdmi+dp+dp) in combination with a ryzen 9950x. Or can you connect only 2 screens at same time..

2553 Schowalter Street

If an Aussie channel like Gear Seekers has this motherboard then that means retailers like PC Case Gear and Scorptec have the X870 motherboards ready for release on the 30th?

Still waiting on a x16 x4 x4 board in AM5. Haven't seen one yet.

lack of 2 pcie 5x4 nvme, lack of white, $400, hard pass - aorus pro ice is the one

Thank you for the video, first one I've seen with this mobo.

So they decide to give us post-codes back in "mid-tier" motherboards, but lower the layer count of everryyy board except the Master. lol

This board looks dope. Would love it to be $250 USD off the rip instead of them discounting it there in 6 months aha. The front m.2 slot is actually amazing. It runs so much colder because it gets the first hit from your case fans. Just wonder if you can somehow turn off the debug lights somehow in the bios.

I installed this aio 2 days ago and the pump is making a strange noise. Is this normal?

the USB4 takes Gen5x4 slot from the CPU directly but controlled with asmedia 4242 this is the difference between x670e - x870e x670e with 16+8 gen5 to the motherboard x870e 16+8 gen5 and x4 of them are reserved for USB4 so technically it is 16+4 gen5 lanes for the rest of the motherboard i hope you can clear that up because gen5 lanes are kind of messed up on this x870e platform which i consider a downgrade TBH

I think Asrock nailed it. Probaby I will go with the Nova, but I really like that unlike other manufacturers, they didn't share any GPU lanes with extra PCIE 5.0 Nvmes.

I love the look, but I just wish they would make these red mosfet caps straight. I bought 3 Asrock X670E Taichi boards and 1 of them had those red mosfet caps so crooked, it was painfully hilarious

When $400 USD became budget?!?!?

Awesome! I'm glad you can avoid buying the RGB and keep the cost down (somewhat... OK very slightly I bet...) I've always liked Asrock for motherboards, I've usually ended up getting them because they're cheaper and work just as well as the competitors.

Nice pc case, I wish to see completely water cooled one. GPU's ridicioulously fat.Bottom fan's too much close to it. 11 fans just to cool gpu,cpu and power supply in a small case. Very efficient :-) Hope they could make better form factors. 5.25 gone, 3.5mm and 2.5mm is on the same way

Asrock seems to be killing it with their AM5 boards. This one looks like a winner.

I can appreciate that this board doesn't look like it belongs to a 15 year old. Looks like an adult would own it. Too many boards have stupid graphics on them. I'm too old for that stuff.

give me a white asrock X870E motherboard i'm looking for a good white motherboard

this works with AM5 too. I didn't realize that the RGB needs to be using the 4 pin 12v header. Had it connected to a 3 pin 5v port and wondered why it didn't work.

200 euros for like 12 tiny aluminium pipes and a thin spine sheet is absolute insanity. Hopefully no-one buys it, so greed gets driven down.

I love it 👍

Not feature set & I'm happy to see Azrock moved the post code & power/reset buttons to the top left corner, sad to see the cool metal gears disappear from the design & just be turned into a surface paint. I have the X670E, I just hope Azrock isn't over charging for the new cycle, mobos should be $300 tops, it seems like every manufacturer charges an arm & leg when a .79 cent post code reader is implemented.

Great shots, this looks a winner. Now just a bit longer for the X3D.

This was the board I was wanting to hear about the most. Was planning on doing a full system build whenever the new X3D arrived, but originally that was supposed to be January, but it might be the end of next month now. Performance wise, the Lite doesn't perform any less than the higher end Taichi, it just has less "bling". edit: Sucks that it doesn't have the quick release for the GPU, and with how tight everything is surrounding the PCI-e GPU slot, it will be even more of a nightmare to remove a large GPU than it is on older boards that are not so crammed. Not really worth the additional $250 or whatever the normal Taichi will be though just for that.

Waiting for both zen5 and the motherboard prices to come down before upgrading.

but sir i have a question jokes thanks

While it's nice to see 5Gb Ethernet, I feel like some of these boards are going to cost enough that they should be coming with 10Gb.

When you mentioned peeling the side panel, did you mean you can get the tint off the panel somehow?

What about audio codec?

fps difference vs x670e is ?

Nobody but ASHIT is revealing an mATX / iTX sized board. Wtf???

Is it possible to use both pcie slots in dual x8? If yes, this board will be the one to beat. The B650E Taichi Lite is just the best in class in price to features, this will probably be as well.

They separate the releases because Amd marketing department will never miss the opportunity to fail, if they released all together it would be 1 fail however separating like this they can get 2 fails within two months.

Can you please share the dimensions of this board? I'm interested in finding out if I can fit it in the NZXT Flow 5. ATX is fully supported by this case, but EATX is only up to certain board dimensions. Thanks for a great review! Edit: I have found my answer, as ASRock has released their board details. This can fit in the new NZXT Flow 5 (2024), since it's 26.7mm in length. (Case supports up to 27.7mm EATX boards). I am not sure whether it can fit in Flow 5 released in 2022 and 2023. I'll do some measuring before I place my order when the boards are released.

I really appreciate the inclusion of those temperature sensor headers (especially because there are 3 of them). Until now, the only boards that I could find that came with them were Gigabyte and Asus, so it will be nice to have another option. I know you can get the Aquacomputer quadro or octo for temperature sensor headers for watercooling, but I've never been a huge fan of extra software and prefer to run my fan/pump profiles from the bios.

Great board, the best so far. I don't like you have to use screws to remove the nmve ssd heatsinks... like it is 2017. I wish more case companies make bigger cases to accommodate extended ATX MoBos

im confused whats is the size of this motherboard, its does look like matx but atx at the same way
