It is the best board if you don't want to do hardcore overclocking. If that would be your plan than the Crosshair VIII hero would be the best but also costs 30$ more than the X570-E.

Is it a good idea to install another 970 EVO Plus NVMe SSD in the second M.2 port of this motherboard? Will it work at 100% speed? Can you give me some suggestions?

[@louisvl10]

I’ve read reviews where that board has the lowest VRM temps if you exclude the super expensive top of the line models.

[@tonkatoytruck]

Just built a new computer with the Asus X570 TUF Gaming and got it for $160usd. Can't wait to do some memory overclocking on this board. Will see how I acclimate to Asus BIOS. Have gotten used to MSI with the Mortar. Also been very happy with Team Group (3200MHz\CAS14-2x8GB).

[@cosmic_drew]

The comments saying this is a bad board are missing his point... at the price it's not competitive but it's not a "bad" board; it's just overpriced.

[@shadykillas6964]

I would love to see the ROG Strix X570-E as it has a different VRM (or so they say)

[@santelices1]

Same here

[@cdbtheclaw]

Yeah the X570-E has a 6+2 phase design and the same ASP1405I the C8H has.

[@Dazzxp]

You said that the Strix -E is a much better board, what's the VRM layout like for that is that like the hero VRM layout of 7+1 with extra power stages? I am going to use a 3900X in a crosshair 6 and a little later down the line either get a strix X570 E or F, was leaning towards the F cause i don't need WiFi but if the board is much better than i guess it's the route i will need to go and get the Strix E.

[@mvanderplas2275]

Asus says the x570-F is 12+2 powerstages and the x570-E is 12+4. So I expect the E version to just have a bigger Soc VRM as main difference. Buildzoid can clarify with a video of the X570-E ;)

[@Rocman76]

Think we know why Asus didn't want to send you any boards......they'd rather just people keep counting chokes and thinking that's their phase count.

[@SpeedWeed97]

I would really like if you could show the vrm heatsinks in your future vids, its pretty usefull atleast to me

[@sirmonkey1985]

he usually does if he has pictures of them but the ones that come from the manufacture usually only come with the back and front of the PCB from what i've seen. these were given to him by an unnamed reviewer so he had the heatsink images.

[@bothellkenmore]

Surprising low # of USB on the rear IO for an AMD board. oh and only 2 chassis fan headers and not where you need them

[@hpwan2]

I'ts Jan-2021 now, here in Australia this board is sold at 379AUD, $30 more expensive than the TUF gaming, but $100 cheaper than theX570 Strix-E version. I guess this price is more reasonable.

[@ellsworth1956]

That noise is from your cell phone. It was to close to the recording device.

[@CrustyAbsconder]

I bought this board today at MicroCenter in Texas, USA, and the total price was nearly $ 304. It had all the features, I wanted. Things that would have been nice to have were on more expensive boards. My current computer is a 6 year old ASUS with Intel i5-3470, with DDR3. I hope to build a Linux computer, and will be hoping everything works with my Linux distro. I already had a wi-fi card, so having wi-fi on the board is not a deal-breaker for me. I have found some wi-fi on motherboards do not work with Linux or at not with my lame Linux skills. I can not afford to purchase fancy Nvme yet, nor fancy memory. I am hoping to salvage some memory I had from another computer that I am not using. I already have a very fancy air-cooler and an SSD and a power-supply and case, so all I need to do is find the money for the CPU. I will hopefully be patient and wait for a Ryzen 9, because I play a lot of FreeCell. Also it was my birthday, and one of the only X570s left on the shelf and the last X570-F Gaming. And there were few X550s.

[@mrcrowley1977]

I just got this mobo but am yet to build it. Reason for choosing it. It's got good vrms, good heat sinks, looks good. Got it for a good price and was not hugely more than some inferior boards I looked at. It's cheap compared to some higher end boards. So long as it has the power delivery and stability I need I will be on to a winner. I struggle to agree with the points made in the video, although I haven't built my system yet. We will see.

[@DawidDoesTechStuff]

I think you should have "don't plug in the additional 4 pin" tattooed on your fore head.

[@cdbtheclaw]

@@Warhorse469 I don't think it is the Crosshair Hero he is talking about. When he is talking about the VRM design he mentions, that there is a board with exactly the same VRM layout but just with 2 extra SOCs which adds a lot of other features. That would apply to the X570-E, since it has a 12+4 layout. The Hero has a 14+2 layout so it uses a completely different VRM design. Overall the Hero should be also be a step above the X570-E but more geared towards extreme overclocking.

It seems the same VRM is in the B550 version. Given that Asus put it on the TUF X570 and that mobo sold way more because of what you said, the TUF B550 got a worse VRM. I guess it's because they don't want another case of Asus VS Asus.

Hey dude, do you recommend the ASUS TUF Gaming X570 Plus WiFi? It's a good mobo? Thank u!

[@Kheops.]

Aight so I've got this board since launch, got the -F over the -E because at the time I believed the latter only had wifi over the first and the price gap was steeper but before I go over my experience I gotta say those cellphone interferences across the video were painful (and you need to drink more water lel). Aight now to the meat, I had a 3600 sitting on it originally, crappy silicon lottery that barely managed to hit advertised PBO frequency but memory OC was a breeze with my G.Skill TridentZ 3200C14 kit easily reaching 3600C14 (fast preset in 1usmus DRAM calc) which gave it quite a boost in FPS compared to XMP. I upgraded a couple weeks ago to the amazing 5600X which despite being advertised to boost to 4.6 Ghz manages to go o 4.85 Ghz thanx to negative curve optimiser even under stress on air cooling. That said my RAM won't do 3600C14 anymore (and doesn't even boot on XMP, had to remove one stick to get to windows and recalculate timings with latest dram calc to fix it), broke my OS trying until I settled for 3733C16 which honestly doesn't even matter because between 3200C14 and 3733C16 I get the same results ingame (although slightly better scores in synthetic benchmarks), worth noting that ingame the 5600X is a beast compared to the 3600 and I got improvements way beyond my hopes as I didn't think my RTX2060 Super would be held back but it was. (From 150 FPS average to 240 FPS in my reference game at 1080p!). This motherboard does have a major design flaw : the chipset fan sits right below the GPU if you install it in top slot which results in very diminished airflow, temps look fine (never beyond 50°C even during AVX2 stress) but it still bugs me. Another flaw is that the IO shield RGB color doesn't match other devices like RAM or fans, it's especially blatant with orange looking greenish on the IO shield somehow when other devices look fine. Still learned a few interesting things here and I'll be more considerate when buying my next mobo

[@miguelagueda3928]

Have you got access to any asrock entry level x570 boards? Cause I'm looking at the asrock pro4, which seems to use discrete mosfets and no SOC cooling and it might not even be worth the extra money compared to a B450 Tomahawk

[@kcx6546]

Great video. Are you also doing a review for the X570 Strix E ?

[@cdbtheclaw]

He probably won't. In his rambling video about the ASUS boards he seemed to think that the X570-E is the same board with Wifi when it actually is closer to the C8H than the F. The X570E has a 6+2 Phase design with the same ASP1405I controller you find in the C8H so it is way better here than the F. I don't know how he could miss that since he normally has everything on point.

[@Jonan76]

Ye i got this in 2022, maybe a bit overpriced 250 euros and maybe not the best bang for the bucks but its stable and didnt have any problem with it! for me its the most important, i dont do any overclocking anyway. So if it goes down in price buy it

[@aBoogivogi]

What's the difference between this and the ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING. Is it just more bells and whistles with the same VRM or is the VRM itself improved?

[@cdbtheclaw]

The X570-E has a 6+2 phase design compared to the Fs 4+1 and ditches the crappy ASP1106 for the same ASP1405I you find in the C8H. So it is way beefier for just a tad more money.

[@ezwider4652]

I got this board at Micro Center as an open box (discount) then $30 off with a cpu for a total of 201 before tax. Does that make this board more in line? They had the TUF for $189 and the x570-E was $329 so I felt that was too high. I was going to buy a Asus b450-f gaming but the guy said I’d never get 3600 MHz to work in that. I know there were other boards you have reviewed better but I wanted the asus to match the RGB of my other stuff

[@madness727]

Is it just me or is the socket extremely close to the memory slots? That could actually benefit memory clocks

[@surg23]

Regards the funky price-point: Over here the next model up from this costs $150 aud ($102usd) more. I needed a board at this price-point with 8 x sata and I could not find anything better in the asus range. I would have forked out for the 570-E but it doesn't have anything I would actually need. In terms of gaming performance I wouldn't tell the difference between the two, so I'd be paying an extra $150 for what ? Due to a 10% off sale at my retailer I got the 570-F for cheaper than the 570 TUF- Gaming plus- So I got a nicer looking board, with better audio. I don't see the problem with that.

Ditching x570 Auros Elite for this specific board costing just 15 bucks over Auros. I don’t really need the wifi. Want a superior feeling board, thats Asus mid-high tear compared to Auros entry level. Wise idea?

[@elmandooh]

What if I got it for $245 instead of $300? Would that change anything? because it's the only Asus mobo available in my country with a cashback offer from Asus! If I wait for the TUF or the x570-E, the cashback will have ended...

related to efficiency at low current load and phase shedding, curious if 3950X at idle is even considered "low load"

Move your cell phone away from your speakers already...

BZ, you going to review that ASUS WS X570 board? I might get it to replace my CH7.

[@SuperHundog]

300 USD for this mobo. You have been warned.

[@Felix-ve9hs]

150 USD too much for me

[@lactobacillusprime]

A board with many features at a price point that seems ridiculous.

Iv'e had alot of problems with this board, been trying to get it to boot past bios for a couple of weeks now but still haven't found a fix

[@Spartan536]

Wow, I am not interested in this board at all. Sad because it's named a ROG STRIX board it's gonna sell, but it's not worth it from what it looks like.

@ademar9988 didn't they do this to the tuf brand first?

So I'm building a pc from this motherboard and I accidentally plugged in an 8 pin pcie I to the 8 pin on the top left. I then realised what I did wrong and went to plug the cpu power connector into it instead but only 4 pins of the 4x2 fit in. Will this be okay?
