The points made here about the Audio around the 16 minute mark... The onboard audio is often an underrated feature. This board has a great audio setup for the reasons Mike explains. Getting AEC and noise canceling setup without mucking around with extra software is just a great thing. Also big thanks to Mike for letting me know Discord has an often unnoticed noise suppression feature built in that I never noticed. You can only see it when you have voice activated. I have ALC1220 and lots of new B550 boards have lesser onboard audio solutions. Penny pinching? I probably wouldn't go B450 but for a cost effective build for a friend or non enthusiast, this would be on my shortlist of probably 3 B450 boards. And I COMPLETELY agree about the aesthetics. The purply pink line going through the other versions was vomit inducing.

[@mikesunboxing]

sound is an often overlooked part of the component selection process, most people are looking for overclocking or fancy lighting, but audio is very important and sometimes expensive to replace or upgrade

@12:38 I don't understand why this reviewer would say SLI is dead in the water. I was hoping to find out if this board would run two graphics card, eg 2 x GTX 1080 in SLI mode. Instead the notion of having two cards is simply dismissed by the reviewer. So my next question is which budget AM4 boards would support the funcationality i am after?

[@mikesunboxing]

Sli is dead and buried with little or no support in video editing and most games developed in the last few years. It only works to some extent in some benchmark programs. For almost all regular pc users sli is not possible and needs a lot of modifications with no guarantee of stability or utilisation

This is undercut by the cheapest B550 (but that one does not have a great amount of VRM heatsinking), also snapping at it's heels is the B450 Aorus Pro (with ARGB, but not 5000 ready and NO FLASHBACK). So this board does win on the "ready for anything" front, but is up against fierce competition

Just got this board. Nice all around, only issue is that if I want to use my M.2 drive, I lose 2 of the sata ports, as they seem to share lanes. I'll get a secondary sata PCI adapter in order to be able to run my M.2, but feels like with 2 M.2 slots, there should be a way of running 7 or 8 drives, not just a max of 6 at the time. There might be a setting in the BIOS I may be missing, but so far this is my issue. Thanks for the good review.

Excellent unboxing and feature review, Mike! Can’t wait to see you put this in a system. This board does really appear to do it all - if I understand correctly, it is compatible with all AM4 based CPU’s and APU’s? Amazing. The fact it doesn’t have PCI v4 is unfortunate, but this is a more budget offering... I do have to say, these days, I only use boards with onboard WIFI for budget and compatibility reasons. I could make an exception with this board, however...

[@mikesunboxing]

yes it does look like a great board with fantastic compatibility, being able to buy this board and have the guarantee that any chip can be bought and used without PCIE or memory issues is so cool. The Wifi thing is something we have discussed before and it still is something that gets mused over here at MUB central 😎 Our walls are brick and cement with plaster board and plaster so wifi signals need to be very good to get a constant signal, and any distance kills it off badly unless you are lucky enough to have a mesh system, so for us here in the UK and lots of Europe Wifi is a real pain so not having it is not a problem. I think for the US and Asia areas wifi is much more widespread in PC use and most of the questions regarding Wifi and Bluetooth do seems to be from those areas in general. I would have liked to have seen a wifi version produced though, it would have made a lot of sense

When you flash your bios, and anything goes wrong, and your board is not booting, put in the usb stick with bios, push the flashback button, and you can rescue your board, so yes, any board needs a flashback button, but sadly not any board has one, you dont need the flashback button for regular bios updates, only for rescue.

Thanks for the video. Will this work for AMD Ryzen™ 3 3100? and will this support future ryzen processors?

[@mikesunboxing]

Yes it will, although the newer CPUs may be on a different socket such as AM5 but there should still be another round of AM4 before that happens

I recently got this board. Where should I put my m.2 SSD the on the center top or the one on the lower part that has heatsink?

depends what drive you got really but i would aim for the top slot

What does the 5000 series mean? I have a Ryzen 7 2700x, will it work and perform well?

[@mikesunboxing]

500 series is 5600x 5600g etc the 2700x was really what this board was designed for

[@harryhidalgo6517]

should i go for this mobo rather than asrock b550m pro 4? Im planning to buy my first pc with r5 5600x where i live, asrock is more expensive

[@mikesunboxing]

avoid b450 unless there is no other option

[@sythe9756]

would you recommend this over the msi b450 mortar max 2? these are the two boards im deciding about

[@mikesunboxing]

yes this and the mortar is matx against atx

Any CPU to recomend for this board in 2022?? I was thinking about the 5 3600 but i think it's too old now

[@mikesunboxing]

that is fine just be aware that you are not going to get any of the pcie gen4 benefits from this board. but a 3600 or 3700 would be fine on it

[@TheSmileCollector]

Does this support the 5000 series out of the box?

[@mikesunboxing]

impossible to say for sure, if it is brand new from the factory yes, otherwise if it has been sat on a shelf it is hard to know

[@diereal2089]

I did not quite catch all the info but what type/s and how many in each type/s are in the front usb ports? TIA.

[@mikesunboxing]

2x usb3.1 type a and 4 x usb 2.0 type a

[@diereal2089]

@@mikesunboxing thanks man, but I thought that was for the rear usb ports? I was referring to the internal I/O ports (front usb ports), the one which will be connected with the system unit's case ;-;

I got one of these boards for my Ryzen 3700X DAW PC. No practical use for overclocking (or a powerful gpu for that matter.) I got this board for the sturdier VRM setup and RAM speeds (I was using a B350-plus and that topped out at 3200mhz) As well as Aura Sync. Nice to have your PC dancing along with you while you're mixing a stupid amount of samples and VSTs 😜

[@mikesunboxing]

yes a nice board

Hey Mike does this work with ryzen 3 3200g??

[@mikesunboxing]

yes it does

[@PaulBakewell]

I think if I were to go over to the dark side (ATX) from m-ITX MBs, maybe this could be one! But then again what do I know? Great Video, thanks Mike

[@mikesunboxing]

Paul stick to ITX, ATX and MATX just throw too many options into the mix, at least with ITX the options are more limited and the choices therefore a little easier to make

[@gamerboy13stupid89]

How many fan slots are there. I’m looking at getting a Corsair AIO and 6 Lian li fans that slide onto one another. Will I be okay?

[@mikesunboxing]

should be fine the lianli uses the usb headers

[@zikry2.040]

Will it support Ryzen 3 2200G out of the box? Is GPU needed for display output?

[@mikesunboxing]

it will and no gpu needed if you are using 2200G

I am late to the party..but I just compared two boards..and this B450F II version is just renamed B450 E gaming with flashbackbutton, different pcb colour but without included wifi module :) They just repurposed the older E variant - same VRMs and same layout..but still..great board..I own B450 E

@Mike's unboxing, reviews and how to How much fan ports are there? , i need to connect 5 rgb corsair fans (4 pins) , and a noctua one.. can i with no problem?

[@mikesunboxing]

they are shown in the video, but to recap 1 x CPU Fan connector 1 x CPU OPT Fan connector 3 x Chassis Fan connectors 1 x AIO_PUMP connector so you will likely need a splitter or hub unless you can get the fans to control to your liking on the extra CPU or AIO headers

Paired with ryzen 1600 Nvidia gtx 1050 ti 16 gig of crucial ballistics 3200 And a gold 80 plus psu ( cant remember brand atm. I cant get it to run with more then 1 stick of ram and only 1 of the ramslot seems to make it wanna post. The other 3 doesnt work anymore. I have tried 1. Test each stick individualy 2. Bios update 3. Cmos and reseting everything on the boards 4. Changed psu 5. Switched motherboard 6. Tried increase ram voltage 7. Took everything apart.put it back togheter. Checked connections. This happened after switch case. And here is the thing. Both my mobos do the same exact thing.. so am i missing something or am i having really bad luck with the motherboards...
