That's the manufacturer's plan: low-price product for those who don't have extra money to spend, high-price product for those who don't care about price, and a middle product they plan on selling the most of because people's decision process is "low priced one is too cheap / bad quality, and high-price one is too fancy and overkill" So the middle priced product is designed to have good profit margins (ie, may not be the best deal for consumer).

In the 25 years I've been building my own PCs, I've always stuck to the 100-150 range on motherboards. I've had a single failure, but it was within warranty and was repaired for free. No way to say if that was because they were cheap, or just bad luck of the draw. This video answered its own question right at the start, then spent 4 minutes in a circle to come back around to the same thing. Get what has the I/O features you need. Also, thicker boards do not always mean thicker traces, but can mean more layers. In addition, a thinner board can actually have superior performance by moving signal layers closer to power planes. This reduction in thickness is from a reduction in the insulating material, like FR4, not by thinner traces. Thicker does not automatically mean better, not by a long shot, and you do a disservice to your viewers saying so.

Let's look at my personal experience. I've been owning and repairing computers for ... a while. I've had a lot of parts fail on me. The three most common failures I've seen are: #1> Hard drives. Not the most fair comparison, due to the VAST majority of my hard drive failures being laptops, and rough handling played a major role in most of them. This was a major reason why I was so happy to see SSDs becoming affordable, and I was a major evangelist for the technology in laptops in the early days. Forget the speed benefit, buy an SSD for your older laptop so you don't lose all your data if you drop it! I have one machine that's claimed THREE drives all by itself. Can be resisted with a good solid backup plan, and given the average age of my typical failing hard drive (I've only lost one newish drive), you're probably due for an upgrade anyways. #2> Fans. I've had a lot of old and crusty fans fail. But I've also been able to repair a lot of my failed fans and restore them to operation. Unless it's your CPU fan, these usually aren't terminal. #3> Motherboards. Seriously. I'm saddened by how many motherboard failures I've experienced over my computer-owning life. It's a good idea to put a bit of dollar into the quality of your motherboard purchase to try to help head off this particularly traumatic, sudden, expensive, and *very* computer-ending failure. My first desktop motherboard was also my first desktop motherboard failure. I hated that thing and was honestly kinda glad to see it go. It resulted in me buying an old server grade workstation motherboard, as I wasn't ready for a CPU upgrade, and Intel did an Intel and discontinued my socket. I have another system in my collection that I'm pretty sure is a ticking time bomb before its motherboard goes.

I also wanted something that had onboard RGB control and lighting as I was also looking to make a flashy system as well. I went with a ROG Strix B450 gaming F because it filled all the needs I had for the build and seemed to be a good value for the money in December of last year and it had a lot of positive reviews.

I have been running Gigabyte X58 UD7, one of the most expensive mobo of 2009, for 11 years now 24/7. Computers are fast enough in every way, support enough memory etc. that the computer you build today will be usable at least a decade in all but compute heavy tasks. You can buy 2nd hand 3950X and Big Navi later and extend the life of your system. Motherboard is the only thing you are not going to upgrade. I also bought on 2009 one of the biggest/best cases, best PSU, and Noctua NH-D14. Buying great case, great PSU and great air cooler (water cooling is obsolete, best air coolers beat all AIOs) are great investments. Great cases will look great and offer everything you need for a really long time. Good PSU won't cause short circuits, won't break and require work for replacing it, won't have crappy coolers that starts to make noise later, and it produces better quality electricity which is good for all the components. Great air cooler allows better boosting, cooler temps which leads to quite a bit lower use of electricity, which accumulates into real savings over the years especially in 24/7 usage. You don't need to clean the cooler as often, it's more quiet, has more reliable fans. And good coolers have resell value. Good PSU and case can also help with the use of electricity, as PSU will waste less power and produce cleaner power that allow all components waste less, and great case helps to keep components cooler and more efficient.
@amzarnacht67104 жыл бұрын
There is a fluid cooling system that will beat forced air heat dispersion... but it's not the old tube based water cooling. It's 100% immersion, zero fan. Such as kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqfQfqZsorpjhLc for example. Pricey, sure... but if the system is properly sealed to keep out contaminants it'll run indefinitely. OFC, making future changes is moot since draining to replace a graphics card, for example, would be a PITA.

You might be right about bad motherboards for every Chipset, but thats not the fault of a chipset. A Chipset does provide features. Those features segment Motherboards into tiers. And that is something I personally think should matter to a consumer. Ofc you are right, it doesn't matter to everyone and most won't even notice the difference, but to those who build their PC by themselfs, which are those this video is targeted at, it should matter. And Chipsets may (depending on the platform) provide the support to overclock. There are Chipsets that will straight up lock overclocking, even though the processor might support it.

I love how there is a lot of motherboard related videos popping up on my youtube recommended the last 2 days... while waiting to find out what happened to my motherboard I bought a week ago and is a few days overdue delivery... I have a Gigabyte B450M board, it was great with my Ryzen 5 2600, but I recently bought a Ryzen 7 3700X and I can tell you this, the motherboard is very unhappy with the power draw of the CPU, VRM's are getting extremely hot and having power delivery issues because they need to rapidly cool themselves instead of cook to death, doesn't help the upper VRM's have no heat sync at all, and the left side VRM's have one but it may as well not because it just doesn't work. The new motherboard will be the final upgrade to my system (a unless something fails or whatever), since I upgraded the CPU from like I said, a Ryzen 5 2600 to a Ryzen 7 3700X, my GTX 1060 to an RTX 2070 Super, replaced all 5 120mm fans in my case with newer, more powerful fans to blow a lot more air into and out of the case, I have 16gb of DDR4 3200mhz ram so no need to upgrade that for a while, and also added 2tb of extra space to my overall storage, and once it gets here, I will be replacing my current Gigabyte B450M with an ASUS TUF B450-PRO board, from Micro ATX to full sized ATX board, has some real nice heat syncs over the VRM's, and have a few other pretty good looking heat syncs elsewhere on the board, plus a better payout of the SATA ports, and is made with Ryzen 3rd gen in mind so no updating the BIOS to run any 3rd gen Ryzen CPU, can do that out of the box. I also have a be quiet! Pure Rock CPU cooler to replace the EXTREMELY LOUD stock cooler that came with the 3700X... I have never heard a Wraith Prism be so loud in a system before, and has to be, as it can barely keep the CPU cool enough while idle. Needless to say I finally have myself a really decent CPU (once the new motherboard arrives and is installed) and will be building a second PC out of all the spare parts I will have left over (currently the only spare part missing is a motherboard to run the Ryzen 5 2600, which the board I am using now will be the board used in the second system)

This is all true, quality components at perform better today WILL last longer than low quality components that perform "meh" today. OC motherboard is a bit more special case tho, if you dont OC you dont get the benefit (and this is very personal if you want or not). Everyone have a budget, some more fixed than others, and within that budged you should get the best you can not just the cheapest. PSU come with 10years(?) warranty and you should expect to upgrade your system every few years = last several builds. Case could last until your grandchildred die of old age, clearly something that could last for several builds. Not to mention cooling is very dependent on the case, and component lifespan is increase with good cooling (or decrease if they get to hot) SSD's today last almost forever, i still have my 120gb from '09 and i have no problem with it (in a less used laptop, but still alive and run circles around any HDD) Large storage i would still keep on HDD due to cost, but i have never had a SSD fail while i had several from HDDs over the years. 256gb system drive and 1tb for storage is more than enough for 99% of users, any additional storage should IMO be on HDD or possibly in a NAS (HDD in the NAS) CPU and GPU is more the performance, buying a lower tier today might mean you "need" to upgrade next year while a higher tier might last you several years before that "need" show itself. You mostly get what you pay for, the cheapest option will only last so long, either due to quality or simply starting far behind the curve today and ending up to slow down the line.

Within 20 seconds of full load they reach thermal limit and start to cutoff, causing the processor to power limit itself to the base frequency and back to turbo constantly. I also tried it with 2700 non X version and it got near the thermal limit but did not cut off. I replaced it for a B450 from ASRock with better power modules and it works great for both CPUs. So beware of cheap power rails on motherboards. Some can't even support non-overclocked high end CPUs.

Probably whoever edited in the pix got it wrong... most pplz aren't going to recognize CAT5/6 from a CAT'S A$$ so...

Idk why you'd leave out so many key factors. More PCI slots at x16 rates rather than a mix of x16, x8, x4, x1 etc. Thunderbolt support with add in cards or built right in. Multiple M.2 or other drive expansions like time of SATA or SAS etc. Built in hardware RAID controllers. Heck even multiple CPU Sockets would fit into this video for even higher end systems which you guys cover all the time!
