Thank you for the great PCB breakdown BZ :), In germany, the price difference between the x670e-aorus master and the b650e aorus-master is only around 70€ to 90€. Personally, I prefer the m.2 setup on the chipset of the x670e because If I decide to use more than two m.2 drives I can still use them without going down to x8 on the pcie 5.0 x16 slot (which is typically used by the graphic card). Unfortunately, current GPU gen only supports pcie 4.0 so there may be a small disadvantage (I think someone measured around 1%-3%?) to go down to x8.

Same, a pcie to M.2 card is dirt cheap and pcie slots are so much more useful. It's also annoying that boards are dropping pcie slots just so they can advertise "we have (x) gen 5 m.2 slots". Anyone who wants a bunch of m.2 can just get their pcie m.2 or u.2 cards. Not to mention normies don't even really care or know what that means and people who do don't need it. Kind of a self fulfilling issue.

Prime95 also causes the black screens. It can also happen with other software and even games from what I've heard from other people. I think it has to do with the inability of the motherboard to adequately handle AVX workloads since all of these software use AVX instructions.

I do not recommend this motherboard. There's a reason it's this cheap for the features it offers - some of these mobos are factory defective (AKA poor quality control). They will cause black screens when paired with Ryzen 7950x. Mine was one of those factory defective ones and I've been waiting for weeks for replacement. Check my channel for a video I shot of mine. There are also Reddit threads about this (search B650E Aorus Master black screen). What's worse is some people won't even know this since the problem doesn't happen in every software or game and will think it's their video card, PSU or monitor that's at fault, wasting hours or days of their time when it's the Gigabyte motherboard. For example, I can run hours of Cinebench R23 without any issues, but as soon as I run Corona benchmark, OCCT large dataset or Prime95, I get black screens. Typical for Gigabyte, they are playing dumb and still haven't even officially acknowledged the problem. I wrote to their support and they also "don't know" about this issue. I'm very disappointed with Gigabyte as a company. Just don't buy it. It's not worth the time, money and hassle RMA'ing, believe me.
