WOW, this was so helpful, thankyou so much! You helped a first timer builder get to understand the differences between boards and how well the processors and mobo combinations work well together. Everything about this was so clear and easy to understand. I especially loved how you actually showed images of the motherboards rather than just listing them, this helped me visualise and understand more about it.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

[@Stubbies2003]

So one of the main advantages to the Dark Hero is the fact that you can set up the OC to switch between PBO and all core overclocking based on the power draw of the CPU. It addresses one of the weak points of AMD CPU OC that most don't even bother with. PBO is great for normal day to day stuff and gaming but if you want to max out the CPU for multi core workloads then PBO isn't as good as all core. All core is good for hard core productivity but not so much for gaming. Properly set up the Dark Hero covers both of the approaches.

[@CrimFerret]

I ended up going with the MSI B550 Gamer's Edge Wifi and am very happy with it. Aside from having the front panel type C header (which I wanted since my case has one), the number and location of the fan and RGB headers made routing those cables pretty easy.

I was running a b450 Tomahawk with my Ryzen 2700, then I upgraded to a 5800X, and the Tomahawk did just fine, but I wanted to upgrade boards as well to take advantage to the gen 4 PCI lanes. I was looking at the B550 Unify, but ended up going with the X570 Unify, as I found one for the same price. Was surprised not to see, as the B550 Unify was shown off. One thing I noticed from switching boards with the 5800X was the VRM temps. The X570 Unify VRM has much more robust cooling. Love the board! Good info

I have noticed video cards these days are a lot bigger... So the layout can pose to be a problem for me sometimes. I swapped my CPU and M/B with my sons PC to give him a temporary upgrade. My 5700XT card takes up so much room I cannot access any of my PCIe slots underneath it unfortunately

I'm still pretty new to PC but I have been doing a lot of research. I have been watching most of your videos as I'm doing research. I recently just bought Corsair 7000D airflow case (yes I know it's expensive and very big) but I went with the 7000D so I wouldn't have to worry about not having enough space for anything when slowly upgrading my prebuilt. I know you said B550 are better and cheaper for gaming but I've been looking at the Gigabyte Aorus X570 Elite Wi-Fi because of the front connectors. I'm slowly upgrading my prebuilt I bought a year ago on newegg. No issues so far but I would love to upgrade so I'm familiar with PC and be confident enough to built my own in the future. I mainly use my PC for gaming only. Basically my question is, should I go for the X570 for the front connectors? Or go with an B550 instead?

[@lukke6189]

Hey Jason! I was thinking about getting the NZXT N7 b550 board for my build and as I saw here you said it was a good board, but when I looked into reviews and stuff people said there were major negative sides too, which I don't really understand too well so that's why I'd appreciate if you could tell me more about it. To start with the M.2 covers don't have heat pads (idk what they're called) so is that a big deal? another one was that the second m.2 slot was gen 3x2 or something so the drive would operate at like half the speed if I remember correctly, which would be a big minus for the board right? So yeah I'm doing a mostly white pc build and I don't really know if I should get one or if I should just add a bit and get the X570 aero from gigabyte or something. Everything seems fine when I check it out on YT but on reddit it seems like a good motherboard doesn't exist haha. I only really need to have wifi on the board and having a front panel usb c would be a big plus too! BTW I'm planning to get the 5600x (5700x if motherboard take too much out the budget) with the RX 6800xt for gaming and school work. I'd appreciate if you can tell me if this combo is even good haha. Thanks!

Thank you so much, literally went over everything I needed in one single video, you earned my sub for sure

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad it was helpful! Thank you for the sub

My MSI B450 Pro Carbon AC started malfunctioning and after some research I identified two mobos I want to choose between: the AORUS ELITE AX V2 and TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI. Stumbled upon your video only to be re-affirmed I picked well. I don't really know which one to choose still but considering my current MSI one's failing, I think I'll give the Gigabyte one a shot.

[@antonludwigzerrudo9226]

@PCBuilderChannel Hi Jason! What do you think of the b550 steel legend against the b550 tomahawk max wifi? Keep in mind that i plan to buy a good wifi card for the legend if i buy it.

[@AaronMT09]

love this video. You are always very informational and helpful. I recently completed my first pc build since my last in 2005. ive been a daily watching your videos non stop for about 3 months now. Do you have any recommendations on good headsets for gaming ? i have the Rog Strix B550F wifi. currently using a playstation headset with usb dongle. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[@tylerbischop7475]

I really wanted to take the time to say thank you. I’ve wanted to upgrade my PC for a while now, but it always seemed to overwhelming. You helped me make that choice easy. Thank you.

[@theonegoose]

Thank you for your content. This helps narrow down features that are needed for me with select CPUS .

I have a Crosshair VII Hero right now, and probably going to get the VIII Hero next for the PCIE gen 4 support. Probably the wi-fi version this time so it has bluetooth for a gamepad. I've also grown accustomed to the little niche extra features on the Crosshair boards. Like the digital q-code display, and the "probelt" voltage check points (and of course the abundance of USB ports). I made kind of a nifty mod, where I wired up some mini LED voltmeters to the probelt (removable, not soldered) to give a constant readout of the voltages, and designed/3d printed a housing to mount the voltmeters into the case. Mostly just for some aesthetic flair rather than any practical need, but I thought it was pretty cool and haven't seen anyone else do it. Anyway great video with some great advice for people who (unlike me) aren't looking to spend extra money on features they don't need.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing and so glad you enjoyed

[@tobytoxd]

Great video with a lot of information! Thank you very much!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching

[@nicolaskimcoppola5328]

Yooooo! Thank you so much! This video is straight 🔥. Gave me all the information I needed to make certain decisions. You were clear and methodical. Thank you 🙏

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad we could help!!

[@Blekk1989]

Well explained.Thank you!

[@Samuitsuki]

I've mostly had my list ready for my 5800X3D build, but was unsure of how to determine what mobo you use. I've had a few looks at suggested lists, but the prices seemed very varies just for 550 mobos. This video really was perfect for helping me to know what I actually need for my gaming setup.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Glad I could help! Best wishes on your build! And we do have a Best Ryzen Motherboard 2023 video you can check out as well

[@azura2749]

I was merely curious about the possibility of building a desktop computer, and I clicked on your video to check out which motherboard is best for me. You sir are the only person I have seen that's been so thorough, straight to the point, organized and even thought of things I didn't even consider about. You definitely deserve more subscribers.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

We love to hear it! Thank you so much for watching.

[@TheZestyBerry]

Thank you so much, been looking to update my mobo from a B450 to better utilize my Ryzen 5 5600x and this video has helped me so much!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad we could help!

[@NinjAsaya]

First, I have to say that your video is amazing and helped me a ton figuring out current motherboard (haven't built a pc since 2014?/my current i7-3770k setup). I do have issues with USB (since when there is so much usb type? lol) I get that when I try to get the GIGABYTE B550 AORUS PRO AC with my Lian li o11 air mini on pcpartpicker Note: A USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 header adapter is required. Note: A USB 3.2 Gen 1 to USB 3.2 Gen 2 header adapter is required.

[@bomberutkrec]

thanks a lot, this was very helpful

[@Afganas.]

Nice video keep it up but i have a question should i buy Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE V2 for 135 or asus tuf gaming b550-plus for 140. Would be grateful if you answer.

[@CrimeMiz]

You're a legend for segmenting the video, Best wishes!

[@Bullshark64]

Sick video man. Thank you!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@shobhitsharan2027]

very informative. Very interesting. I really enjoyed all the information

[@BeastMode-ts6eg]

Love your vids. Straight to the point and useful info vs trying to make videos longer

[@PCBuilderChannel]

That's great to hear! Thank you for the feedback it means a lot to us

[@stever7638]

Well done review!: Thank you for taking the time to include as much content as you could... very helpful. As for a suggestion, I'm looking for a micro-ITX board that is an X570 or x570S, and with the limitations of the ram, I'm definitely going to try to do dual rank with a 5600X processor. Currently it's in an Aorus Master X570, but that's an ATX and this is going to be a second build in a small form factor case. Hard to place a budget with that type of recommendation, but hopefully trying to stay under $400. Thanks!

[@facetiouselise]

Any thoughts on the MSI B550 Gaming Plus for a 5600? I got it at a great price on best buy during black Friday... Going to be my son's first build with a HYTE Y60 and RGB fans (with hub connection to board)... Already had the proper bios for our 5600.

[@TheDaNuker]

Good summary of all the Ryzen motherboard options right now. There probably be a lot of sales for these soon especially and be a good time to pick up a board if you don't intend to do any CPU upgrades beyond Zen 3D.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@jeremypagcaliwangan8064]

Hey jason, great video as always. But out of curiosity. You mentioned you would recommend the aorus pro - p up to a r9 5900x. So by logic, the 5800x3d would be fine there as well? I realize it's not out yet but I just had to ask. Mostly because I have a case that can only fit a MATX, ITX mobo and I have no intention of replacing it cause I'm still inlove with it. Thanks in advance! Keep up the great videos man!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Yes, it would work just fine!

[@marlonmends]

My friend, do you use a 5900x on the aorus pro p? works on rendering in CPU? the vrm is ok?

[@ryanramadhan6351]

Do you recommend TUF gaming b450m PRO II? Since the b450m PRO S is hard to find on my area and i plan to build with 5600G and maybe will upgrade VGA on the future. Thanks in advance

[@misternobody4716]

I love my ASRock Steel Legend B550M, no problems and was already ready for my 5600. I like the RGB options, too.

[@sir.otitablu951]

thank you for the info, so i clearly like the noise isolation features from asus

[@jayyh_01]

so i have a b550-f for my planned ryzen 5 3600 build (sticking to midrange until i have a bigger budget), but its good to know that its an amazing option for future proofing!

[@wotwot6868]

Subscribed for the extra details like level of audio chip included. Hope to find a video regarding 500 series vs 600 series AMD motherboards in terms of features.

[@jamesperez6785]

This was a super helpful video. I'm probably going with the GIGABYTE B550M DS3H since i just wanna save some cash for my r5 5600 build. question - i was recommended the MSI B550-A PRO, which seems to be a pretty good atx board. why wasn't it featured here? i'm assuming it has no bios flashback?

[@mrcookies409]

This video is tremendous, helped me a lot in deciding what mobo to get.

[@redbloodedamerican2346]

Just ordered the MSI B550 PRO-VDH WIFI for a new ryzen 5 5600x upgrade. Thanks a ton!

[@scotthadley92]

Really needed this... left a like 👍

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Glad it was helpful and thank you!

[@georgejoseph3316]

Hey Jason ,great well explained video. Just one doubt, So I guess 5600X + RE 6700XT won't work with my old b450 M-A Asus Prime micro atx motherboard, right ?. Will have to go with a b550, which one do you recommend if I choose to OC in future. Need help as I'm planning to buy this build soon.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

If you have that board with a currently compatible cpu, you can update the bios before swapping the CPU and will work fine. Hope that helps!

[@jamescarter421]

I have an MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max board with a R5 3600X. I was thinking of upgrading to a R7 5700X when they are released. I no longer do any gaming, but I do a small bit of video encoding. No manual overclock, but PBO is enabled. What are your thoughts on the MB/CPU pairing on this board?

[@pmehta4452]

Very good and a very large amount of information summed up very nicely! Thank you for doing this video! :)

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Really glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching

[@ThomasAT86]

Great video, thanks!

[@Redzkuul]

[@theoneandonlydiggit]

how do you feel about the EVGA Dark x570 ? its on sale i might have to grab it.

[@nocoinnogain2132]

hi jason, love your content, you have been tremendous help. im in turkey, i cant find some motherboards here such as strix b550-f. i got ryzen 5 5600 with gigabyte rx 6700xt. what do you think of Asus PRIME B550M-A Micro ATX and MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK ATX?

[@ashraffendy2010]

Hey man, thanks for clarification. Thumbs up for clear explanation. Planning a build with tight budget, and yours help the most! Thanks again. Keep up the good work.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

That's great to hear! So glad we could help and best of luck on your build!
