[@PCBuilderChannel]

*Note: 1) Current ASUS Boards are problematic with Ryzen 7800X3D, do not recommend them for this CPU. 2) Typo in one of the overlays "B560". That should be "B650".* What motherboards are you looking at? What motherboard features matter most to you and why?

[@asmrnaturecat984]

Usb4 and a lot of usbA

[@user-bonk]

Gigabyte only had b650e aorus master, rest are b650 /cough wrong description

[@7fe5z25]

I think the heatsinks are important for vrms and m.2s and the look overall, I don’t really care for the entry audio

[@dalamboman6863]

B659e aorus master or x670e steel legend as the steel legend is nearly 50 to 80 bucks cheaper or 5000rupees inr

[@seylaw]

I suspect this will happen more than once to us all this generation. It is just too easy to get that wrong this time.

[@issactmk50]

Most of tech youtubers talk about RTX 4090 but Jason talks about best motherboard for Ryzen 7000, thumbs up for not following the trend!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you! We figured the other channels would be covering the 4090 and we'd get some other info out to builders (:

[@RobBCactive]

Yeah I ignored my 4090 notification, I feel I have a pretty good idea on performance and Nvidia's pricing disqualifies them. The MCM RDNA3 is far more interesting to see how this GCD/MCD next gen cache-ing works out.

[@Deviantsoundz]

@@RobBCactive with all the leaks and info given directly from nvida you could make some pretty accurate predictions as to where it would land. Fast forward 3 reviews to confirm numbers and that was it.

[@RobBCactive]

@@Deviantsoundz well HUB showed power efficiency is better than Ampere, but with the CPU bottle necking a $699 6900xt looks far more sensible. If RDNA3 matches MLiD leaks at a sane price, we'll need Zen4 or RPL to actually push the cards

[@glenn.c]

@@PCBuilderChannel thank you, your channel is a gem, really. I love your enthusiasm and authenticity - always just learn some new things from your little nuggets of knowledge you just sprinkle throughout the videos. This was a great decision!

[@Arthur-yx9hw]

Just wanted to say a huge thank you Jason for all the amazing work you put into these videos. I am planning to build my first pc in what seems to be a crazy time for the pc market. While this initially made me a cautious or unsure consumer, your videos have given me the insight to confidently buy and build. I was waiting for the b650/e drop to build for am5 and went with the Asus rog strix b650e-f, a little pricier, but I think it will do me well in the long run. Ty again!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you Arthur! The feedback means the world to us. Best wishes on your build and so glad we can help!

[@dianaalyssa8726]

That board has really nice features. DDR5, PCIE5, 3 nvme slots, certainly a nice first build.

[@Barthezh]

Probably going for the same board. It has nice features, but not excessive. Plus, I think it is a bit more future proof (I don't upgrade often).

[@ThereisNOpandemicWAKEUP]

Board is still nowhere to be found:(

[@MediumrarePancake]

Still watching the videos after building. It's the best way to stay up to date with new developments. Thanks for being the best!

Everyone is making expensive 4090 videos but Jason is making entertaining and knowledge full Content. Keep up the good work

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks Umar! We were hoping this would be helpful (:

[@TheGulfryd]

@@PCBuilderChannel it really is, every time i see a motherboard that i picked on pcpartpicker that got sold out i always come to this video

[@nickhirsbrunner4694]

I'm just really excited they moved to LGA, I've been fixing Intels LGA boards for years now as they're a lot easier to fix than PGA boards and often times cheaper. AMD moving to LGA gives me a lot more legroom on what I want to fix and potentially how much more money I can make really excited to see where this takes me in a few months.

[@benjilinus3221]

Thank you so much for covering ITX at the end! I'm planning a new ITX Ryzen 5 7600X build and have being going mad trying to find a good list of the available motherboards. This is perfect.

Glad I could help! Thank you for watching

[@corymargarucci]

Love your videos Jason! While I definitely do a lot of my own research, I watch every one of your videos to see your take on it because I know it will be honest and accurate. I work as a comp sci teacher and your videos not only help me stay informed when my students have hardware questions, but I recommend them your videos!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

That's so cool! Best wishes to you and your students!

[@NzLand3r]

Jason hits midweek again! 😃 Always on point and Jason cuts through the rubbish to give you PC building goodness.

[@hazonku]

As a content creator and a digital artist this was a very informative video. I built a great open looped i7-7700K/GTX 1080Ti build in 2017 and although it still mostly holds its own in gaming it's finally starting to really show its age in regards to render times and high poly Zbrush workflows. For me a lot of IO & storage options are key and thanks to this video I feel like I have a much better understanding of what my options are.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad we could help!!

[@jamesmiscellaneous]

Good job telling people about included audio codecs. It's often overlooked. I have ALC1220 on a B450 board and it sounds great. I think if you go back to some of the older audio codecs there's the potential to lose certain features such as AEC which I swear by. I think AM5 as a whole is a bad value at this time, but again you are letting people know about the potential for 3DVcache parts and the ins and outs of the boards you went over. This is a good resource for people who are not well versed in PC hardware, but also for people like me who can't afford to have these products in hand, so we get a look at them on channels like this. Calling out the lack of value is also a plus, good job. This is a good landing spot for someone who'd like to build a new computer but isn't sure about where to start and their options. ✅

[@hime-kamisama]

For most people, using software is enough especially when the purpose is for gaming, you can use peace and some VST plugins, or even if you have an RTX card you can use Nvidia broadcast. It's a nice thing, however you shouldn't spend $50 more just because of better audio if that's only the difference you looked at, you can buy a $6 USB-C DAC (Apple) which is going to be better for value if you really cared about it.

[@ZZUtopia]

I've been looking for motherboard reviews and wasn't finding what I needed at any of my usual channels. Found this video and subbed right away. This is the content I've been searching for. Thanks for making the video.

[@uncensored1948]

Great summary, Jason. I think you've inspired me to pay more attention to the audio codec on my next board. Presently with ALC892, and I've always wondered if that's the source of an extremely subtle buzzing.

[@darrellearwood4224]

Jason, you are the man. Im so glad you show the price vs features. It appears the am5 x670 motherboards are cheaper than am4 x570 motherboards looking at it that way. The gigabyte aorus x570s master is still $279! I've been holding on to this 5900x cpu for months waiting for the price of that motherboard to go down. I should just sell it and cut my losses and move up to the 7900x and new amd platform which now is being used through 2025. Great review on this episode. Thank you again

[@DM-gs2vo]

Another amazing value video. If i go with a board it will be the steel legend one. Not cause i have one of the same brand in my current pc but i feel its best bang for buck right now for higher end stuff. Thanks for the great info cause i dont know much about boards.

Hello! So glad you have been enjoying. I haven't! Perhaps someday (:

[@TechTornado]

Thank you for actually replying. You are awesome

[@Barthezh]

Great video as usual. Love every single one of them; very informative. I'll probably stick to ASUS. My current system has a 9 years old ASUS Z-87 motherboard (with a SAPPHIRE TRI-X R9 290X GPU) , and still works like a charm (of course I can't run some games anymore). In the past I also had Asrock and Gigabyte motherboards, but of none of them lasted this long without any issues. I'm going to wait a little bit for the Ryzen 7000 X3D CPU's, and then I will probably go for the ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F (maybe with another Sapphire GPU :-)). I like the Audio on this board and I feel it's a bit more future proof than some other boards. I also don't need the excessive connectivity of a X670E board or the second GPU slot on some boards. And in general, in my personal experience the ASUS boards are more durable and stable. Numbers are important to me, but building quality even more. So yes, I am one of those ASUS fanboys :-)

[@goosejohnson3197]

Whoa Im in a very similar boat, my setup is about 11 years old and has an Asus P8P67-Deluxe with an MSI R9 280X and Ive been very satisfied with the longevity of my Asus motherboard. Ive also had my eye on an ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F (we might be spirit bros lol j/k) however Jason doesnt seem to think that PCIe 5 is a big deal at this point but Im hoping this board will future proof enough to last another 7+ years. Im still undecided about the cpu and was looking at the X3D cpu's as well but the 7900 (non X) seems to be a pretty good value now that they have launched. Even though my last GPU was an MSI I went back with an ASUS gpu this time but no matter the choices I fully expect at least 1 upgrade to the GPU and CPU in it's lifecycle and Im fine with that assuming I dont have to upgrade motherboard and RAM on top. Cheers.

[@ophiuckus1635]

Same here. i5 4440 and Asus B85M-E. Still working perfectly with alot of miles on it; my pc is on for almost 24/7. This is the reason I most surely want to go with ASUS board again for AM5. I'd like to go with the TUF board in combination with 7600(non x) but need to do more research on it.

Likely gonna go with the Gigabyte AERO. love the look of it and it will complete the aesthetic I'm going for with my new build. glad to see it in the video and thanks for all the great info as always!!

[@navarropuff187]

if prices gets better, i've been eyeing on the Asrock B650M PG Riptide. At least this time they added a Bios Flashback feature. Sure wish though they had the Pro series for MATX just like the Pro4 on the AM4. although, i'm a little bit skeptical about the VRM config. But since undervolting would be the best way to go to save power and heat, i don't think that would be a problem.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Sounds like a plan! Hope those prices drop soon.

[@maou5025]

May as well as get the B650E pg riptide. Asrock is the only one making cheap B650E anyway. Since it cost so much, might as well make it futureproof with PCIE5.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad!! Hope you enjoy!

[@niklask978]

Really good video. Exactly what i was looking for and well explained.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Glad it helped!

[@TaraCheetarachii]

I love the emphasis on audio codecs. As someone with an external dac/amp hooked up, I am wondering how the recommendations for midrange boards would differ

[@boboboy8189]

External is better. No static issues unlike internal

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TaraCheetarachii]

@@PCBuilderChannel It really was, so thanks for making your content! My original question however was perhaps poorly phrased. I was wondering given that I probably will never use the onboard audio, would your recommendations differ in any way (such as perhaps recommending the TUF series of motherboards). Don't feel compelled to respond as I was simply curious

[@gamedoutgamer]

You won't need the on board audio and will need the USB port for external audio. Your dac/amp uses USB 2.0? Ignore the analog 3.5mm jacks on the IO shield.

[@TaraCheetarachii]

@@gamedoutgamer Yeah, I've had my dac/amp for several years now and plug my headphones directly into its 4.4 mm Pentaconn jack. My current PC was built in 2009 so I'm overdue for an upgrade. I asked because I wanted to see if there were other better value propositions given I don't anticipate using any motherboard-based audio solution.

[@HankBaxter]

Gonna check out the AsRock B650M PG Riptide you mentioned after TWICE having to return the similarly priced Gigabyte B650M DS3H to Best Buy. Both of them DOA.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Frustrating!!

[@email2rahat]

Hi between Asus tuf gaming plus and MSI mortar which b650 is better? I don't really care about the wifi 6.

[@minimo-studio]

Great video as usual. I'm looking forward to your review of the best Air Coolers for AM5. I have a Ryzen 9 7950x and want to pair it with a GIGABYTE X670 AORUS ELITE AX

[@sasatirnanic]

Hi Jason, first of all great review. Second, you may include info about number of SATA ports. :) Keep on with good work!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you and thanks for the feedback!

[@andrewsampson3236]

Ryzen/Radeon for life ❤ I’ve never had a bad experience with any of there products. Great video by the way 👍

[@NickNewmanification]

Hi Jason, thanks so much for your in depth reviews and advice. I'm putting together a reasonably priced upgrade to my pc by selecting AMD Ryzen 7600x chip and either ATX 3070 ti GPU or Radeon RX 6700 XT and a bit overwhelmed by choice in the motherboard section. Bearing in mind I don't need a pcie 5 slot, what would be a decent board that is in keeping with my pricepoint but also doesn't hinder the compatibility of my parts? Thanks in advance. Nick

[@abidlack1980]

One curiosity I had was for building a SFF system that can handle a 7950x without overspending on the motherboard, that way It'll have max compatibility for whatever I decide to use. I knew it would be possible before the B series boards were released. It will be fairly minimal in terms of pcie/sata devices, maybe just 2 m2 drives at most. I kind of prefer Asus, but I'm also considering Asrock or MSI.

[@thinkride3873]

asrock used to be subsidiary of asus

[@zan8117]

Looking at the B650m Mortar but it looks like the PCIE Placement is lower compared to the B550 Mortar which is a concern for me when GPUs are starting to require 3 slots.

[@hbhamilton3]

The ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-F was part of a bundle I recently purchased and it's great so far! #TeamROG #TeamSTRIX

[@techjgboy8878]

Amazing video and great job with the Ryzen 7000 and motherboards keep up the amazing work

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks a ton! Do us a favor and hit that like button to tell youtube to keep sharing it (:

[@gideonhutomo2741]

I LOVE UR CHANNEL, Complete information!, very useful.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching

[@jamesnguyen8731]

Thank you, bookmarked this, will be building this November/December 2023 once intel/amd introduce next cpu.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Exciting! Best wishes on your build!!

[@parsa5290]

Hey thanks foe explaining audio codecs!! Now can you do one for all USB(2,3,3.1,4,type A, type c …) types and their differences please?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@anthonychavez4297]

Jason THANKS for all your great content, really appreciate learning your knowledge you bless us with. I'm building a 1st build with a budget of 2500, I went over a little. Is there any way you can look at what i'm purchasings before I do something I will regret? Thanks for your time and wisdom.

[@guwopo]

Very informative, great video!

[@HawkSea]

I just bought the ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-E board just for the peace of mind of maybe sometime taking the 5.0 bump on things. I'm coming from a 4770K so as you can tell I plan on holding onto this thing for a looong time and just worry about my GPU going forward.

[@pearelectronics3083]

I just looked at the Australian prices for b650 they are ludicrous the average is around 350 Australian kangaroo coins, nuts! We need to hopefully put pressure on these insane prices by simply buying 13th gen intel or a 5800x 3D

[@Jango_D]

my motherboard buying varies wildly on my budget. my first ever build had a secondhand lga 1151 board, i cant remember which model, the only reason i bought it was because it was 70 dollars, and my modified hp pavilion had just died. after that i bought an X570 board that im still running. bought that because it was 'high end' as in i did no research and only looked at the 5'70' part. this time around im looking for a x670e or b650e because i plan to run this for a long time and upgrade gpu next, and maybe by the time i can afford to upgrade the gpu a new pcie5.0 card will be out

[@ten.kenobi]

i really like the design of the NZXT N7 B 650E boards. unfortunately, german retailers charge a €80 premium once again. (€430 - and out of stock everywhere)

[@jackgleeson8321]

I would like to see more postcodes as it makes troubleshooting easier.

[@r00tmaster84]

I'm gonna cross my fingers on the ASUS B650-I, has all I need for my ITX build, though some customers reported lots of coil whine on idle from their examples even after getting replacement. One of our retailers had like 5+ of the same board returned within the first few months. But there are so few ITX boards for AM5, I don't want to break my build's all-black aesthetic with the white MSI Edge, and I don't trust AsRock.

[@cliffjenkins6522]

Jason, do you have a spreadsheet on which chipsets have which features? I'm glad to know about the ASUS and Ryzen 7800X3D issue as that will probably be the CPU I go with.

[@michaelbrown7415]

Jason, what B650 or X670 board would have the least susceptibility to coil whine? Thanks.

[@mistavoid]

quick question. does the extra bus on the extreme motherboards have any noticeable difference? I have heard it loads up core processes in advance better, is this true?

[@anddo24]

Liking this video so it doesn't get overshadowed by the 4090 reviews. When I upgrade to a Ryzen x3D chip. I'll definitely be eyeing an Asus Crosshair Hero or the Strix (which seems to be the new Hero pricing wise).

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Appreciate the like!!

[@ChinchillaBONK]

Thanks for this! Btw, can you help clear up the confusion about AM5 supported DDR5 RAMs and at what speeds? from what i know, it seems it only supports 1DPC at DDR5 5200 speeds and if you go 2DPCs, the speeds gets reduced significantly. Also, 1DPC at higher than 5200 speeds is not very clear how it works to OC it since the actual support is at 5200 speeds.

[@Cavemanhead]

Great video, and great style. New subscriber here... One thing that you keep mentioning is that the PCIe5 is not really meaningful so consider the B650 MoBos. That said, when will it become meaningful? I'm wondering if the next video cards after the 40X0 and 7900XT series will need it. Why else would AMD push this standard out if they never planned to use it? I know NVMes will use it first, but when will the video cards use it?

[@mareksz.429]

Jason The most interesting thing for me in Am5 are stability and boot times. Compared to 10 years old PCS the Am5 have a Lot longer boot times (EG 2 minutes). When we skip RAM learning it can be 25 - 60 SECs depending on board manufacturer ( gigabyte fastest as I heard) but often occupied by stability issues. Gould You test some boards and compare it or ITS only best on paper mainboards articles ?

[@devonmoreau]

Alot of great looking boards here, and of course that's what's most important (at least for me anyway) :D

[@PCBuilderChannel]

They did nail the style!

[@MrAwol007]

great video and thank you for the great advice

[@hhectorlector]

I really like your style. Just wanted to say that I respect you saying "USB Type-C" and not the misnomer that it seems most tech-tubers are relenting to.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Glad you are enjoying!

[@AmirEpix]

​@@PCBuilderChannelI love your videos jason, been a huge fan for a year and finally going to build my own pc soon. I'm checking all your content daily for making the best choices possible. I'm so excited and wanted to thank you so much man ❤

[@nickvirgili2969]

went with the tomahawk, a little weary of asus considering although seems to be a bios issue and power spike problem when things get Too hot. about to grab my 7800x3d to complete the deal and just finishing up on a case to fit and my,.... uh oh, psu. i need two straight plugs for my gpu so hopefully i find one that has an extra incuded, not crazy about the spliced cables plugged into the same component. if ya got any suggestions or warnings id appreciate it but i know your busy and stuff so its cool. going with possibly air water cool mix with a xfx rx 6950 xt, not crazy about overclocking but feel it might be needed for the cpu while the gpu seems to be great air cooled, at least thats what i heard with xfx.

[@CrazyToiletAudio]

Any chance on best Memory for AM5 Video. Heard they need special kits, and speed matters a lot with AMD...

[@creed5248]

I bought a Proart X570 creator the last time I built and I believe it is the best motherboard I have ever purchased . Has all off the good features and stable overclocking as well . The most I ever spent before that was in the 200 dollar range . I guess you sometimes get what you pay for ... but almost never get more than you paid for ? LoL !!

[@glee8421]

I like to see more SATA 6 connectors, 10gbs ethernet, thunderbolt 4 connections, undervolting to conserve power usage, photo editing, watching movies, peer to peer torrenting. Is 7950x and 3060 ti a good match or overkill for photo editing? Maybe a lower rated Ryzen?

[@ChadKenova]

I normally buy med/top tier boards like a aorus master or asus crosshair but i think I’m just gonna get a b650 or 650e this time with my 7950x3d. Not gonna use gen 5 I already have two gen 4 2tb drives and as long as it has decent vrms im in. And b650 boards are around the same price as a x570 board from last gen. But one thing I do like on more premium boards normally aorus is a backplate for the motherboard. I have until Friday to pick my 7950x3d at microcenter, i know i should just wait for the 7800x3d but I don’t have much patience. And its nice to have more multicore performance when needed. But wish you could get free ram like on non x3d parts. Im hoping a 7950x3d and gaming oc 4090 should last me 3 years.
