BEST Creator Motherboard for Ryzen 7000! - Asus X670E ProArt Creator WiFi Motherboard [Deep-dive]

[@johntnguyen1976]

The hero of pc builders for creatives! Doing all my research for a new PC build and this channel is literally all one would need. Thanks for all you do! Would really love a full on PC build video of this motherboard...I've settled on this motherboard to start with!

[@xuantruongle8707]

mature design, no flashy or screaming gamer is a big plus

[@khaynn2112]

Hero did nt get even a 10Gb RJ45, the equivalence for this one seems to be the EXTREME, which cost double the price ....for some RGB effects.

[@TheGameBench]

Having a mass amount of I/O and 10Gb + 2.5Gb Ethernet makes the $500 a little easier to swallow. But at that price, def should be including a USB with the drivers rather than a waste of polycarbonate. If I decide to go with Zen4+ or 3D V-Cache, this could be the board I go with. Couldn't care less about OC anyways. AMD is already pushing these CPU's to the hilt out of the box. I'd just enable the 105 watt eco mode TBH.

[@kaseyboles30]

That or set a lower temp target. One guy set his to 85c and actually saw a TINY perf increase, though that could be just silicon lottery on his 7950. Either way if you don't happen to get a cpu near the bottom of the silicon lottery you shouldn't see any noteworthy loss to perf (0-3% is what I've mostly been seeing on reviews of the 105 eco mode).

[@TheGameBench]

@@kaseyboles30 Ah... good point. I'd be curious to see how 10 degree drops down to 65 degrees would compare to the 110 eco mode. If I could limit it to 75 watts, with a lower hit to perf, that would be a much better solution.

[@kaseyboles30]

@@TheGameBench It's really looking like the efficiency curve is great until a certain point then it goes out the window and the last 5% of perf takes way, way more than the previous 5%.

[@TheGameBench]

@@kaseyboles30 Yeah... and to me, that 5% just isn't worth it for the tradeoff.

[@kaseyboles30]

@@TheGameBench Understandable. Unless your using it to make money and that tiny percent adds up to a bigger income. At that point tweaking for max performance makes sense and could even yield a cooler running chip if you do well enough in the silicon lottery.

Simply another beautiful ProArt creator series mobo. Have the X570 w/5950x. Just received the Z690 version a few days ago & have a 12900K waiting to be mounted. So my friend, thanks to your candid review, I've just dropped the X670E in a select cart w/trigger finger hovering ... *sigh*

[@theTechNotice]

Haha

[@ChrisVirgilio]

I debated going that same route with the 12900k and Z690 board. I think the timing of the purchase worked out well that the X670 is almost out and went with that. The future proof-ish addition of the PCI-E 5.0 m.2 slots and 2.5+10GbE ports won me over to the X670 side. I really love what AMD has been doing the last few years, and the fact that it is reasonable to believe that they will stick with the AM5 design for 4-5 years makes the board just a bit more valuable in my mind as an upgrade in 3 years only requires an new CPU, and maybe some ram depending on how far forward that leaps.

It is such a good board compared the gaming board I was using before, I haven't ran into any software lockups (anomalies) or weird usb issues like I did on the gaming board, micro stutters in 3d art apps, etc. You pay for the build quality, longevity and stability checks that Asus sends these boards through. Genuinely good product and glad it doesn't have gamer RGB rainbow effects all over it.

[@ChrisQuitsReality]

What's ur opinion on this vs the Asus Strix Gaming x670e-e? I'm building a new workhorse pc that is literally all purpose from 4k editing to high end VR gameplay and recording, streaming etc. I'm really torn between the 2. I don't need the 10gb lan but the usb 4 seems nice to have, the 16+2 power phase concerns me but I only plan on using the automatic overclocking features of the 7950x would this be enough? Full build should be 4090, 1300w psu, 32gb 6000 ddr5 and a 7950x. Only reason I passed on the asrock x670e tachi was the lack of the lower pcie lane or else I would have jumped on that. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

[@pentaborg871]

I love how you focus on what's best for creators with whichever processor is on top on stock settings, while it's on top, regardless of brand. 5950X was on top for a year, then 12900K was on top for 10 month, now the pendulum has swung back to AMD. 7950X is an incredible processor! I don't think the upcoming 13th gen has what it takes - 8 extra e cores is nice and all, but they aren't full performance cores. plus it's still 10 nm.

[@theTechNotice]

just wait for the review ;)

[@Micromation]

Well the benchmarks are out today. As leaked, multicore and performance benchmarks check out. Performance for price is not bad at all... the question is whether one wants to jump into a generational dead end (14th gen will be new socket) and pay premium for it - I mean if you don't care about upgrading why not AM4? Would be cheaper and still provide ample performance and blow this out of the water. Admittedly AM4 motherboards are all kinda bad on I/O, whereas new Z chipset motherboards have superb I/O and sport Thunderbolt 4 ports (you might not care about port specifically but that's A LOT of bandwidth on separate controller to connect tons of USB peripherals...)

[@HarvinderSingh-yy8th]

Right findings

[@kaseyboles30]

Just a side note. IMHO that front panel pin adapter is dongle all motherboards should come with. As I get older dealing with front panel connectors has gone from a minor annoyance to a real pain in the backside.

These new X670 boards use the Intel JHL8540 chip (which is a Thunderbolt controller) yet the ports are technically not TB4. There aren't many TB4 devices out (compared to the USB4-compatible TB3), but I still find it odd that these aren't "TB4 guaranteed" - do you think it's Intel politics, or just about time/money? The last X570 ProArt had TB4 certification.

[@blkspade23]

Yeah there effectively 2 things that make USB4 and TB4 different. Min spec feature set, and Intel certification. The former mostly comes down to PCIe tunneling for most people, while the latter is an additional check by Intel to use the Thunderbolt branding. That's both politics and money/time added to the process. This board is TB4 without being able to call it as such. The actual drivers in the OS even still refer to it as a TB controller. On AM4 only Asrock made the move to get 1 ITX-X570 board TB3 certified, while they had a 2nd ATX X570 that included TB3. It isn't called that on the box while it is on the product page. Referred to as Hyper USB-C on the box. I think very much that motherboard makers needed a way to offer the feature on AMD in a way they could market it, without having to pay Intel to call it Thunderbolt. So now we have an official USB4 spec that can be (but not always), equivalent to TB4 without the Tax. Gigabyte and Asus wouldn't release "TB" boards until the AM4 socket was effectively EOL. The X670 Proart was cheaper and more available than the X570 version.

[@reptilespantoso]

Great mobo and a nice video. These boards are roughly 30% overpriced, compared to the Intel 1700 mobos. (situation 9th oct 2022) (Price in The Netherlands: Z690 (1700 socket) €412 X670E (AM5 socket) €530 = 28% markup(all excl. VAT) The hole in the ruler is to hang it on the wall above the workbench (from a little hook or nail).

[@aaronlee6821]

As mentioned in the video, there's a 10g Ethernet port built-in, which, if you need it, saves money. Not to mention, that if you buy a separate 10g Ethernet card, you'll use up one of your PCIe slots. For me, I'm using one PCIe slot for my GPU, and another for a Black Magic DeckLink Mini Monitor 4K. I really don't want to use up the last PCIe slot just for a 10g Ethernet card. Having 10g Ethernet and Thunderbolt 4 on the motherboard are two must-haves for me. I'd gladly spent $500 for that motherboard, if only they made one with a Z790 chipset.

[@theTechNotice]

Yeah, I've got to point out Pcie gen5 is more expensive and not featured on the z690 ProArt

USB stick 1:14 is a good idea cause you can download new drivers keep them updated or for something else 😊

[@NimoGaming]

I wanna add that the third PCIE can only run on x2 on the x670e ProArt. the M.2 NvmE slot is stated that it shares 4x PCIE lanes. but the 3rd slot can only run x2. it doesnt say anywhere that it runs x4 on the manual

[@Micromation]

Do you perhaps have ability to try out and test whether USB4 ports on this motherboard support PCIe tunneling? The Intel controller used has such capability, question is whether there are required connections on the motherboard to support this feature. I really need desktop supporting eGPU...

[@mj1s735]

The price is about right for ProArt creator boards. The high $400's has been the going price for this series of boards for a few years now. They don't make the last gen X570 board anymore and if you can find it most places want $600 plus for it. I just wonder are they going to make a ProArt creator board for the lower chipset like they have done it the past?

[@Micromation]

I'm just happy that all of these premium boards come with USB4 as standard. AM4 was really poor on I/O side of things...

[@jordanbabcock9349]

If you're in the US they're in the $400s on Amazon.

[@mj1s735]

@@jordanbabcock9349 Not sure which board you mean, but yeah the prices has come down for the X570, but for a while because of supply and demand the price was as high as $600 for a while. I went ahead and got the ASUS ProArt Z690-Creator WiFi 6E LGA 1700 for $450 and now it is $399.

[@BenleGentil]

I was really on the fence for you video, curious to see if you’d make me regret buying an Asus x670e TUF - outside of the extra usb-c port, 10Gb lan (and slightly better audio codec) I don’t think there’s any real difference

[@bryndj]

Great review, thank you! One question, how much space is there between the PCIe slots? Have you tried running dual GPUs on this board? Any success?

[@Arnette110]

Looking at either the ProArt or the MSI Ace for a 7950x build. Opinions?

[@thischannel1071]

What specifically makes you think the ProArt wouldn't be good for overclocking?

[@Foxhood]

I would assume it is the lack of Q-Code and a Clear CMOS button. You would have to diagnose somewhat blindly and go old-fashioned with a jumper on a header to reset the Bios after a failed overclock. The board (though capable) is just not intended for such things. It was designed to be a reliable workhorse to run 24/7 if needed.

[@erenatas]

@@Foxhood Clearing CMOS can also be achieved by removing the CMOS battery. Its not that hard

[@Foxhood]

@@erenatas Correct. But most overclockers are spoiled by having OC specific features integrated like a simple button to wipe it and Q-Code indicators. If a board doesn't have that. It won't be seen as that good a choice for those who specifically want to engage in overclocking. Which is simply not the design ethos behind the ProArt series anyway. Reliability is.

[@erenatas]

@@Foxhood Learned something new :) Thanks!

[@9999plato]

So you still keep x16 at the first graphics card slot when using the two M.3 5th gen, correct? I'd hate to learn that the 4090 would be degraded somehow when the second GPU slot is not used. I have been trying to make the right choice for one PC that has to work for a home Digital Audio Workstation and a gaming PC. My 4790K and Nvidia 970 are a bit old in the tooth and my intel I7 xenon 975 is way old for modern audio work. I get one shot at this.

[@Murph9000]

Odd that it doesn't come with a USB thumb drive. My ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme has a USB drive and no CD. I don't know if that's true for all ROG boards, but I'm surprised they are not also doing it for ProArt, since that's pretty much as premium as the top ROG boards.

[@teemuvesala9575]

Well none of that matters when you can download latest drives from ASUS website as you should always do anyway. I personally favor ProArt board cause I think it is overall better apart from overclocking or RGBs. On my opinion, none of those really matter. Having 10GB ethernet in its price class is big bonus too. I just don't see point in overclocking anymore cause all these chips have been mostly pushed to their limits by AMD or Intel anyway.

[@dash8brj]

The only thing missing is SPDIF out and a POST diag LED display. Just bought this board. I have an external SPDIF to USB-C adapter what I can connect so that is solved. :)

This board allows you to control any pump with PWM/DC input. It defaults to 100% post CMOS reset as a precaution, but you can override it within the bios through the Q-Fan control panel and control it like you would a fan, curve and all.

[@markg5713]

Thanks for doing this. Always thoughtful and informative. I’m a ‘content creator’ but with quite different needs from those usually covered in this and similar reviews. I use large orchestral libraries to write music. These are best saved on fast NVMe drives and partially loaded into memory for real-time use. There are lots of ways of optimising a computer to get the best from limited resources, but ultimately, a fast multicore CPU, solid state drives and at least 64GB of RAM (128GB+ is better for large orchestral templates) are optimal. A powerful GPU is of limited use in this type of work. * The other essential attribute is silence - or as near to it as you can get. The last thing you want when trying to record or mix music in a studio is a computer doing impersonations of a household vacuum cleaner. Moving the computer away from the studio/control room to a quiet cupboard isn’t often a viable option and that’s why, after decades of using PCs, I am considering paying a ridiculous amount of money for a Mac Studio. I like PC’s and I like using Windows too, because I know what to do when things don’t work properly. However, builds like the one featured here make increasingly less sense to me. Here’s why: It doesn’t matter which CPU you choose, INTEL or AMD; to achieve the performance they offer you must supply them with masses of power and then spend good money trying to cool them down. It is the same with GPUs. Year on year the situation gets worse: more power and more cooling. It is nuts and, unless I have missed something, the only company that seems to be trying to buck this trend is Apple. An elegant solution to a problem is an efficient one and I don’t think that word can be applied to any of the more recent creator builds I see on line. Wish me luck with the Mac Studio. The only Apple product I have is a phone and I have figured that out so there is hope. 😉 *Worth noting that a company (GPU.Audio) are working on applications which redeploy GPU processing cores for audio processing. This is huge for people doing what I do.

[@abhisheksakpal484]

Not true...nothing wrong with the gpus. For example a 4090 is 2x3090ti and runs just as cool if not more. Offcourse it's going to draw power to run like that. Cpus are also very powerful from previous generations. Plus you have eco modes which barely decrease any performance! This whole power cooling things is just BS..it will not make much difference in your bills by 4-5$

Would be a bit overkill if you only plan to game and not use some of the extra features though. General Advice: Picking a Motherboard is mostly just a case of picking whatever has all the IO you need. Does it got enough M.2 slots? Enough USB ports? enough PCIe of the right speed? etc. Other than that. Pretty much any decent motherboard should prove reliable and perform well these days.

Can you use video over USB from the iGPU? What I mean is without using the Display Port in from the dGPU.

[@Foxhood]

Yes! The motherboard has two USB4 ports with video output (DP-Alt) on the back. Port 1 connects to the dGPU (if you use the cable, else it is inactive), while port 2 always connects to the iGPU. So you can just plug any usb-c monitor or C->DP cable on the second port. If you want to verify yourself: I've quickly looked it up in the digital user manual that is available on Asus's website under support. Page 2-23 of the english version. Never hurts to read the manual before considering a purchase!

​@@CreateNowSleepLater "Hot swap" is the act of (dis)connecting a active powered device to another powered device. Which is often advised against.

what is not really clear to me ( which I've bought one of this) is why even if I connect an 8x pcie 3.0 on the second pcie slot the gpu got bifurcated... Like if the bandwidth is actually 24 pcie lanes 5.0 from my ryzen 9 7900x why asus won't simply allow the bus to use the correct lanes instead of trunk those? I mean if the 3rd pci-e got 4 lanes 4.0 isn't understandable that the bandwidth should make it work an 8x 3.0? I don't just understand this mechanism... In the previous model with the 5900x I didn't have this problem at all. I had fitted everything in the moba ... 3 m.2 and all the 3 slots, ofc there I can understand the gpu to go at 8x ... but on this moba I don't really understand this thing of the bifurcation is so strict restriction... I whish I can use an old BDM capture card which use 8x gen 3.0 on the 3rd slot but turns out I can't... and if I put that on the 2nd slot my gpu goes auto at 8x... I don't really understand. If the first two are 5.0 pci-e why doesn't that simply work at it full speed with the lower gen of pcie...

[@enhanthaddeuslee5558]

huge huge issue with RAM and DOCP settings. Not achieving what is even stated on QVL list. Perhaps it was worth putting it through its paces before reviewing.

[@lasbrujazz]

Imagine running this with hypervisor managed through internal GPU, using 2 VMs with dedicated NIC and GPU, and still have plenty of storage lanes to go with.

[@alpenfoxvideo7255]

what about the gaming boards? anything good for pro connectivity/thunderbolt? I would love for ASUS to put the 2-digit boot display in these boards, making troubleshooting easier is a must for pro-work!

[@theTechNotice]

Yeah, true....

[@GUY-on-Earth]

so does usb 4.0 display support 1440p @ 240hz? i wish they made an eatx version of this and it came with a backplate

[@PanFam]

can u plug a camera in DP in? and use it as a capture card?

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Great video.

[@midas_9648]

Doesnt this also support 48gb modules? 192gb total?

[@The-Weekend-Warrior]

:)))) The screws are not "stuck" to the heatsing, they are what we called "captive screws"... :D Nice feature there, I agree... I was just smiling on how you called them.

[@theTechNotice]

That's the word I was looking for! OK, remember that Lauri, for next time! 🤦😇

[@rodhester2166]

Was always curious as to if there is any difference in gaming performance. I am not a fan of the appearance of the gaming boards, This board looks awesome. I only wish it had all the audio outs for 5x1 or 7x1 setup.

[@highspeed_hula1938]

No. You’d be good. The boards that are creators are going to have pretty much all the things you’d need. Keeping in mind that most people don’t OC the piss out of their CPU and stuff. The only thing I think this board is lacking that I physically wish it didn’t was the reset CMOS button. Instead they put a couple of use functions on the board that as a gamer I’d never touch. However… whether it be this AM5 board or the z690/790 variant you’ll be set.

[@jean-pascaleudeseboua9952]

Please between the Asus pro art b650 and the pro art x670e which is better

[@camotech1314]

X670e is better

[@juliusmodesto3328]

Planning to build my workstation by the end of the year. Is it ok t0 use 12900Ks for this MoBo?

[@theTechNotice]

Nope, 12900ks is not compatible with this and you'd need to use Z690 version instead.

[@juliusmodesto3328]

Oh I see... Is Ryzen 9 can match 12900KS performance handling Adobe products?... Basically, graphics, photos, puiblcations, 3Ds, coding, apps and web.

[@timothyhall9200]

@@juliusmodesto3328 they're pretty comparable. I was stuck between them until I decided I wanted pcie5 (gpu and storage support) and ddr5. If those aren't important, save some cash and go intel

[@RoadRallyLife]

I'm planning on running m.2 pcie 4.0/5.0 drives in every slot, am I looking at any potential bandwidth limitations on these?

[@charalamposm1149]

from site specs say: Realtek S1220A 7.1 Surround Sound but where are the jacks to connect that ? I see on the video only a stereo jack. Very negative point for this motherboard.... definitely I avoid it for this reason...

[@I-PixALbI4-I]

And what the temperature of VRM for 7900x/7950x ( OC included)?

[@AnatoleBranch]

got this on launch day, didn't get the cd, have to double check my box now, had to Ethernet link to my laptop to get a Internet connection (wifi didn't work) and there are still no drivers on the website, had to install Armory Crate for the drivers, which gets a lot of flak for being bloatware, certainly got a lot of extra processes but none seem to be taking up cpu %. also my bottom fans argb is just white and cannot control the rgb color for them (on boot the colors change so I know it works). all teething problems to be expected but would like the driver download page to have something!

[@theTechNotice]

Thanks for sharing that info! Yeah, definitely new platform adoption problems. :)

[@ericgandt8164]

Can you test this with a Storage controller? I have an MSI MEG ACE x670E which does not both with a storage card (I use raid6 card) present. Seriously you can enter BIOS or boot menu, but will not boot. Which I find plain crazy, but means I have a 1700 dollar paper weight right now, since it can not be used for content creation without storage space.

[@nickcucchiara]

I have a question. Do I install the operating system on a pro art Z690 creator on the SSD installed under the processor?

[@ankushom19]

Man! Just do a Super Clean build with this Please !

[@datriaxsondor590]

Curious if anyone has measured between the two primary pci-e slots? My GPU is 76mm wide, and I'm getting the impression it will overtake the second slot. Can anyone attest to whether that wide of a card would overlap the second slot?

[@ArtemAleksashkin]

Why you didn't run it?

[@STEVENSA_official]

Its so hard to find good memory 32x4 for 128gb 5200Mhz. Any Idea? my favor is Corsair but there are no any official list for this build. will be very appreciated for any information also many other people will be too! Thanx in advance.

[@danielcampbell3686]

I want to use this motherboard in a build but nowhere can I find the overall height of the board, as I need a 420mm radiator with 140mm fans to be able to clear the board, does anyone know what height the rear io cover is.

[@KeikoFXDesigns]

The question that remains... Will the this motherboard support the latest Ryzen 9000 series CPUs?

[@MJOLNIR242]

For what it costs, the IO shield kinda trashy looking out of the box. They could’ve made it better quality or not plastic looking 😅

[@josearqco]

What would happen if a M.2 gen 5 is placed in its socket near the processor and a graphics card gen 5 is used, ¿they share PCI express lanes?

[@sunnyhawkadventures864]

At 3:10 it says Tron on the board. Just sayin

[@IndieAuthorX]

I really like the new platform, it is so much faster than what I used to have. Some stability issues though. I can't reliably speed up the RAM and chrome has crashed the system a few times. Still, everything else is awesome. Getting through some of the Bios nonsense. I think my issue is the RAM.

[@natewheeler1420]

BIOS 1003 has memory context restore working now, which helps a lot with OC RAM.

[@IndieAuthorX]

@@natewheeler1420 thanks, I am going to have to look into that :)

[@patrickvernae]

Imagine paying $460 for a motherboard and not getting a Q-code display for troubleshooting

[@Soras_]

Yep, I already bought this board.

[@a.plipps]

Does any of the Gen5 Pcie M.2 share bandwidth with the GPU pcie16x slot?

[@definingslawek4731]

I didn't know the new AMD cpu's have igpu's, I'd like to see a comparison of the amd to intel igpu's for video editing. (video accelerators/ asics )
