JGINYUE B650i Night Devil Review, Cheap B650 Mini-ITX Motherboard

[@1Grainer1]

Steves love for B650 grows every day, now he can't contain himself so he tries offbrand boards just to satiate that need for new B650 board

[@VascovanZeller]

We're all laughing at the notion of a B*50 ITX board costing 90$, but I'd like to remind everyone that my ITX B350 cost 70 and is still rocking my 5800x3d daily.

[@NamTran-xc2ip]

Literally just bought a $30 b350 + 1600, obvious this is some low quality b350 but it works just fine with the 5700x3d.

[@elham7459]

R7 5800X3D pulls "only" 108W compared to R9 5950X 120W or R9 7950X 251W according to GN EPS12V rail test, so it is not too demanding for VRMs.

My tomahawk b350 is also running 5800 - it's third cpu in this board - and for audio it will last me 5 more years easy.

[@wertywerrtyson5529]

I’m remember when 90 bucks for a motherboard was if not high end at least mid range. And 40-50 bucks was low end. I’m glad to see reviews for cheaper options but I personally don’t buy computer parts on aliexpress as I prefer to have proper EU warranty. It’s good you mentioned fan headers. I’ve noticed that when buying budget boards the lack of fan headers makes cooling difficult. Like on my H610 motherboard for my 12400F.

[@remstesthd6784]

when 90€ got you a Z87/Z97 board and put a i5 i7 OCed without any problems.. now 90€ you get a sh** board that overheat and bottleneck your pc

[@Rachit0904]

@@remstesthd6784 Those i7s would use around 100 watts, this B650 can easily provide that, as Steve said. And don't forget there has been inflation so 90€ then is like 120€ now, which gets you the Asrock B650M-HDV which is better than those Z87s.

i use this board, its a great board. just make sure to update the bios to the latest version straight out the box. Been using this brand from am4 and now am5. never had any issues with them. literally 0 issues. I've made 17 rigs with jginyue boards now. customers are happy with the competitive price too.

[@danieloberhofer9035]

Afaik AMD mandated BIOS flashback support via USB for all B650 and up mainboards (don't know about A620 though) to avoid the exact problem of having to install an older CPU just to flash the BIOS as part of their commitment to platform longevity. Part of why AM5 became generally more expensive than AM4. That board not having features mandated by AMD would be enough of a reason for me to steer clear of the manufacturer altogether. Other than that I completely agree with Steve - AM4's history + AM5 being a well rounded platform is all the reason you need to get a good quality board and be happy with it for years to come. I might've overdone it a "little" with my X670E Taichi Carrara, but I do not regret it one bit. 😊

[@concinnus]

Lack of security/RAM compatibility BIOS updates is also a standard issue with PRC based board vendors.

[@sahara8771]

They didn't. ASRock's B650E PG-ITX doesn't have flashback despite its price point.

[@SagazHero]

Get my like. You guys rock for covering so many board brands and models.

[@artyomexplains]

Some important information about this motherboard : 1) YOU NEED TO UPDATE THE BIOS BECAUSE OLDER BIOS VERSIONS HAVE BAD RAM SUPPORT! 2) No 3 pin fan support, they just work at 100% rpm all the time. 3) No profile saving in bios. 4) Ram overcloking is complicated due to some timings are in hex and no profile saving is possible. Anything above 6000 Mhz is complicated.

[@jayprosser7349]

Odd I run 7200mhz no issue

[@Angel7black]

So basically its ass and people shouldnt buy it. Honestly if you dont have an extra $50 for an asrock board atleast just wait a few weeks till you save up some more. This is just an irresponsible financial decision even if you buy this for just a 7800X3D and stay with that for years till the next socket for AMD and Intel in 4 years or longer. Theres just too much that can go wrong and youre just gambling money away

I think that perhaps testing a more mainstream AliExpress brand like Soyo might provide more positive results. I would also be interested in seeing you test a Biostar B650 motherboard because I think it's the most underrated brand in the world. My first motherboard (back in 1988) was a Biostar Baby-AT design and it worked just great. The fact that Biostar still exists today just shows that even thought they're not a big player in the West anymore, they're not junk because they have persevered over the past 40 years. There are a lot of well-respected brands who cannot say the same like BFG and EVGA.

[@joao_hideal]

For those who already have this board, or that are on the fence about getting one: There is a new bios with 1.2.0.0a AGESA support, and Ryzen 9000 series support. Changes I could see so far: added a vdroop load calibration option, and now I can go up to 6000MHz on the ram, albeit not at CL30 (CL34 works with 1.35v), and before I couldn't get past 4800Mhz, no matter what I tried. For reference, I'm using a 7600X.

[@markvincenttee920]

I can do 6000 cl36 36 36 76. I tried cl32 and no go.

[@tanmay5570]

Change vdd io voltage equal to vddq manually as this mobo does not set that automatically. It should work 6000mhz like any other mobo...

Yesterday I grabbed this board and a Ryzen 7 7700 for $251 after a $40 discount coupon from Aliexpress. Hoping this helps keep my room cooler compared to my current 11900KF Z590 Strix PC. This summer in Florida has been absolute hell with the humidity this year!

If I can request one more AliExpress board, it would be nice to see what you think about the Colorful CVN B650M FORZNE V14. The company seems like they have a decent enough history with boards and graphics cards, and getting PCIe 5.0 on the x16 slot would mean I could probably hang on to the one single board through AM5. Thank you for all you do!!

[@rensuchan]

Colorful seems to make decent stuff, and their support actually responded to me (albeit not quickly) when I contacted them about my older Intel 10th/11th gen B560I Frozen series board (ARGB header was not supporting the full number of LEDs on my fan, and they sent me a ARGB update). If you're just building a simple system then I can say my experience has been fine.

[@ЮрийТомин-ъ6э]

I have the one. Its BIOS stands between the 4-brand mobo and this video`s mobo. I mean there are more overclocking features and other settings but some are missed: some memory timings, no overclocking profiles, no 3-pin cooler management (only 4-pin PWM), mobo sensors show weird secondary temperatures. I.e. the 4-brand mobos do not have those issues obviously (or much less). As for hardware I ought to say the colorful mobo is great and looks very cool. I can overclock my 32 GB up to 6400 MHz with 1:1 ratio (or simply activate EXPO 6400 profile), my R7 7700 with PBO or by fix. And of course, I purchased it on nice price at Ali. Moreover I have the Colorful RTX 3090 Vulcan card.

[@doryiii]

I remember buying an asrock H810 board back in the day for $20 new. Used it with my leftover i3-6100T (which was also worth like $20) and an old GTX1050Ti and I got myself a very capable low end gaming machine.

The only time I buy Chinese motherboards is the older gen core i5 "combo deals", which often come with memory, cpu and motherboard for no money at all (great for people looking for cheap PCs). I built an itx HTPC to my partner 2 years ago. The cost was 75$ in total. The motherboard was brand new (SZMZ) and it came with a PCIe 3.0 m.2 slot offering really decent SSD speeds, + core i5 3570 and 16GB DDR3. We still enjoy the computer, play games and watch movies from it. :) It lacks proper S3 sleep mode, but since Linux starts so quickly from hybernation mode it hasn't really been an issue at all.

For another "freak show" epizode you can try Chinese graphic brand Moore Threads or Russian CPU Baikal with their mb.

The seller change for a new one three times, although I found the trouble at my 7700 CPU finally. No transportation expenses I should pay, their sale-after services is not too bad I think.

I have one of these with a 7500f both from Ali. It's true about the ram stability is annoying. After trying all-sorts, I eventually manually changed my cl30 expo profile speed to 5600 and left the timings and it works. It was annoying. You can update bios from the boot menu in bios. The pbo etc works well. It's super stable other than no love for 6000mhz . It was either a 5800x3d or this motherboard ram and a 7500f for the same money. This is cheaper and faster. Just buy one.. hehe

Yeha, I don't think the saving is enough for the wacky warranty and software support.

[@gizmo104drives7]

No plans to buy a board this cheep but I'm here for it

[@ChristianPhilosemite]

Duuude. Im exactly looking for this. Its either this or I bite the bullet for the ASRock B650i. Thank you for this!

[@ChristianPhilosemite]

Hmmm... Ill just be going with the Asrock B650i then. Only just made the purchase. £40 is worth the peace of mind.

"Welcome to Jank Unboxed. I'm your host Steve" :P Poking fun aside: It's always easy to spend other peoples money with good advice, but if you're really really hamstrung for cash, don't gamble. Keep saving until you can buy something where RMA's will be handled properly. The dud-rate on entry level products IS higher than on the mid-range and premium stuff, so it becomes extra important to have "insurance" if you simply can't afford a loss.

What people don't talk about is that this board also has a good quality sound card. And having optical connection is a bonus for 5.1 surround( if your surround doesn't have hdmi input ) if you want to decode the best sound like Dolby digital, DTS digital..

[@Hardwareunboxed]

I think it's because the onboard sound ain't selling this board.

[@mazfgit]

3.5mm jack or optical are only 2.0 true sound. Any conversion to 5.1 is either a program on the computer or an amplifier/DAC you are running to.

[@McMd-yp9yj]

Yes you will need compatible Soundsystem to play digital like Dolby. They will only decode 5.1 if you use optical or hdmi..

[@Spitlebug]

I love cheap stuff. I would actually buy this, but pair it with an equally cheap 7500F. I'm almost certain that the 7500F and 7700 users are the target audience for this. Jank is love, jank is life.

[@Revoku]

I love to see these videos with cheap aliexpress parts, its interesting to see if they are a viable option for some people or not. I'm a tinkerer, I have 3 Engineering sample 11th gen intel(unlocked) 8C16T cpu mini-itx boards with laptop cpu's soldered onto the custom boards, my wifes computer, 1 server, 1 spare, and they take some learning and tinkering to overclock, but when they're overclocked and modded correctly, they perform like a 5800X and they cost me about $120USD each then an X99 aliexpress server board with 96gb ddr4 ram and a 2680 v4 14C 28T cpu in it for my virtual server stuff For a knowledgeable tinkerer these boards are hilarious fun, for anyone else they are frustration

[@laosmanzur9808]

I have a jginyue b650i paired with a r7 7700 and a rtx4060lp and runs ok, pbo and ram oc works fine.

[@luuphuvinh5517]

Maybe with the newest BIOS (16/8), the faulty power reading issue has been fixed. This can be a really attractive solution to AM5 ITX, if they can sort out the software side
