100% another great Video Review ...you definitely deserve alot more subcribers to your KZbin Channel.👍

[@jordanash]

Thank you, I appreciate that

[@dietmarh.3342]

Compared to the Hero, you can safely equip the second PCIe with a sound card or something similar on this motherboard.That's why I'll have to buy the ROG Strix Gaming instead of the Hero this time.

[@jordanash]

You should be able to use a sound card on the Hero no problem?

[@dietmarh.3342]

@@jordanash On the Hero (E870E), the 2 x PCIe 5.0 x16 slots are connected to the lanes on the CPU. And if another card is installed in the 2nd PCIe slot, the 1st PCIe slot runs at 8x instead of 16x. On the ROG Strix Gaming (E870E), the 2nd PCIe slot runs via the chipset.

[@jordanash]

Oh, I thought you just meant running it in general. What you wrote made it sound like you just couldn't run another device, like you didn't see it had another slot.

Yeah that'll be good anyway, this is a bit overkill for most anyway. Aorus have a X870 Elite ICE too, you might want to look at that too.

[@Demonoid1990]

Hmm certainly getting anxious to see the new Z890 and B860 from Intel. I'm certainly hoping we'll have some better offerings for MATX this time around. My next build here soon will be in an MATX Case. Some of these new AM5 motherboards are offering some decent features and new innovations. With Intel and AMD pushing for better efficiency, I'd certainly hope to see some more variety for MATX and ITX.

[@jordanash]

I'm looking forward to seeing what Intel do too. I'm sure we'll see some MATX with B850 too.

[@TheDarkness0555]

Asus makes the best pc components. Will be buying the hero paired with the 9950x3d once they are released. Then an rog matrix 5090 once they are released in early 2025. Should be good for a couple years

[@grizredford8407]

Ridiculous that a board with so many chipset pcie lanes has only one chipset pcie slot.

[@jordanash]

Yeah, this board is very storage-focused so as the top slot is further down there's not enough space with a modern GPU for two more slots. The Aorus I covered recently has three.

[@LAUCHGeorge]

Hi, so, very random question, but, I saw you having a lot of asus stuff, do you happen to have an asus rog strix rtx 4070 (non super) of which you would be willing to sell me the box of? (and maybe that collectors card thingy that comes with it) I like keeping the boxes for all my stuff, but asus did not send me the box back after the rma. Been trying to get one since then

[@jordanash]

Hey, unfortunately not. The graphics cards tend to be rotated from them and any cards I get from scan I pick specifically. Sorry I can't help.

[@LAUCHGeorge]

@@jordanash Aight, no worries

[@Th3_Dark_Side]

I bought the X670e recently, maybe I will return it and buy the X870e instead if prices aren't that much higher.

[@jordanash]

I wouldn't worry, the X670 is a banger of a board.

[@Th3_Dark_Side]

@@jordanash Yeah, it is. But the X870e has some new future things, like Wifi 7 or USB 4 and an extra Front USB Header which will be good for my case. But I will see.

[@jordanash]

I don't think it's worth the upgrade. If you had a basic B650 maybe, or are coming from AM4.

[@flaccus123]

The x670e doesn't have 4 cpu lanes used for USB4 in general, so you have more options for M2 Gen5 in general compared to the x870e version of this board. I have the x670e version and run 2 Gen5 M2's (4 lanes each) and GPU at 16x which takes 24 lanes in total. On the x870e because of USB4 you are left with 20 lanes, which means you only have 4 for your Gen5 M2's if you want your GPU to run at 16x Sort of makes 2/3 large M2 heatsinks on top a total waste on this board.

[@Th3_Dark_Side]

@@flaccus123 I use only Gen 4 M.2. But the prices of the X870 Boards will be much higher than X670, so it won't be worth it anyways.

[@JoeMama-yl1ow]

And will be loaded with half baked and hosed bioses that usually do not work.

[@jordanash]

Which board have you personally had problems with?

[@pxo42]

Great detailed video! One thing - looking at the mobo manual, if you use more than one of the PCIE 5 M.2 slots, the bandwidth of the GPU PCIE slot is halved. Looking online, I think PCIE 5 x 8 remaining on the GPU slot should be plenty (e.g. for a 5080) with only c. 2% diff to 16x (vs gen 4 x8, so no issue on Gen 5). Do you have a view on this? No issue and can go ahead and use all Gen 5 M.2 slots? Thanks!

[@jordanash]

Thank you. Personally I wouldn't worry. A lot of people make a big deal out of it being halves, but like you say it's just 2% and makes no difference in gaming.

[@TareqAstroPhoton]

So here is the review about this board and another video is about Asus Crosshair Hero, the conclusion for me is ........... ASUS IS EXPENSIVE AND ALWAYS WILL BE NO MATTER WHICH YEAR OR GEN THEY ARE HAVING, and i really feel like i have to stop buying anything from them if they keep that policy, prices isn't helping, people are mad and complaining, and careless rich just buy more from Asus to let them continue their s... prices going on, i do have their mobo i the past which is Asus Rampage IV Extreme, amazing mobo indeed, but nothing much special over other brands, i also have same gen from Gigabyte and that isn't any less, it was much cheaper, so Asus is for me like Apple of gamers, i have Apple in the past and i stopped getting from them completely several years ago.

[@jordanash]

Thanks for your comment, they certainly are expensive

Are the lanes shared if you use 2 x m.2s at pcie 5.0. If they are that's awful for money. The cheaper Asrock Nova is better

[@jordanash]

If you add a second drive to slots 2 or 3 the GPU drops to X8. Yeah I spoke about ASRock boards in my round up, they're great value for money.

[@billnwa2250]

If you fill it up with m.2 drives, do you lose anything? Top pcie slot reduced to x8 or something like that? It's hard to find that info out.

from asus rog website ... "** M.2_2 & M.2_3 slots share bandwidth with PCIEX16(G5). When M.2_2 & M.2_3 are occupied with SSD devices, PCIEX16(G5) will run x8 only." It is not clear, at least from my pov, what happens if you only use M.2_1 and M.2_2 slots, not M.2_3 ...

[@paulschweiger3754]

Will this motherboard drive 2 daisy chained 1080p monitors using the integrated graphics? No PCIe GPU installed

[@jordanash]

From the spec it should, but if you're buying a board that's looking to be upwards of £450, surely you'd get a GPU too?

[@paulschweiger3754]

Thanks. And good question 😂 I’m thinking I might buy a new pc soon but then wait a couple of months to see if new Nvidia gpus emerge before stumping up for a video card

[@paulschweiger3754]

Is it possible to connect a monitor to the usb 4 ports that you mentioned support displayPort? I presume I’d need a usb-c to DP cable? Unless there are monitors with usb-c inputs now?

[@jordanash]

There are monitors with USB C, but the only CPUs supporting graphics are the 8000 series and those are okay, but I'd get a GPU. I'd also wait to see what comes out and then upgrade everything, the board will be cheaper then too.

Hello Jordan, quick question. So would it be possible to use a capture card on the PCIE_2 slot, as well as 4 or 5 NVMEs' and still be able to keep the GPU in PCIE_1 running at x16?

[@jordanash]

Unfortunately not, after you've used the first NVME slot, the second you use either NVME slot 2 or 3 the GPU speed drops. I'll look at the block diagram and see what your options are.

Look at all the space wasted by the I/O ports and shielding. It’s such an antiquated way thinking. If someone can build a motherboard without all the useless port, it’ll be so much easier to build a small form factor PC. Everything on the I/O panel can be replaced with 2 to 4 UBS-C ports.

A lot of products break, and a lot of channels have topics on that. Jays2cents explains it the best and even discarded them as a sponsor amd doesn't use the brand any more. And then the prices of these boards, have you seen them? The Hero for instance is $700+ and I believe these 2 you have are up to almost $400.

Oh don't worry I've seen all of that, I'm a fan of Jay's videos, reviewer aside. Unfortunately I'm not at a point in my career I can just suddenly stop using a company's products as I rely on them to make videos, I don't make enough money to buy others or get enough other samples to do that. To be fair given I've not had any problems I was within my rights to carry on using them, but I did stop using them for a period while they sorted out their RMA process. From what I can see they've made a lot of good changes. People will still want to see and will buy them either way.
