I wish he released the video. Im putting together an ITX build and i have no idea what to get lol

[@Yuzume]

I honestly want to buy an MSI board just for the fact that they fully disclosed what VRMs they used. Seeing the entire flow-diagram of the Carbon's power delivery on their website really put a smile on my face and I really wanna see other brands follow suit. Even with the lower-end boards, they still clearly state what VRMs they chose, if they're just Dr.MOS or SPS-es, actual current handling capabilities and whether they're doubled or not, so damn specific. MSI has been doing so many things right with AMD following from B450 and they're definitely gonna be my go-to when I plan to upgrade in the future

[@twinjuke]

Thank you for this overview. 1 very big vote for a dedicated video about the B550 ITX boards against each other!

[@nathangamble125]

I'm so glad this video is out.

[@ngtflyer]

So, this video was part of what influenced me to go with the B550m Mortar for my build. (Silverstone RL08 mATX case, 3700x, Scuthe Fuma 2 cooler, 32gb of Trident Z B-die memory, currently on a ROG Strix 1080 ti and will decide on a 3080 card later in the year) Have to say, I am very satisfied. Sailing along with XMP enabled, 3600-16-16-36 and PBO enabled. Nice and fast, good thermals, plenty quiet enough and most importantly, rock solid. Thanks for doing these comparisons!

[@agenericaccount3935]

"where's the really cheap ugly boards" Zoid, I love you for all the right reasons.

[@dronshi]

9:19 pretty much sums up what I feel for the whole MSI b550 lineup. They have the best VRMs overall but boards from other brands also have good enough VRMs while having better features so why wouldn't you get that instead?

[@johnnynova4319]

Agreed. Initially, I was looking at the B550 Tomahawk, but now I'm considering the Asrock Steel Legend or Extreme4. Or maybe the Asus strix gaming-f? I can't find any reviews on the Asrock boards yet. Any recommendations?

[@Galathorn]

@@johnnynova4319 I was thinking about the same but the steel legend or extreme 4 doesn't have bios flashback. Or is it overrated?

[@henriaunin]

@@johnnynova4319 Already went with the b550 TUF (ATX), can’t say if it was a good choice or not but I got it for about 150€. The problem really with B550 is that it came out in such a bad time and once PCIE gen 4 gets popular 4-5 years later, everyone would’ve upgraded to a newer motherboard.

[@jlu]

I don’t get the point of having such beefy VRMs when B450 was perfectly fine with less powerful ones

[@jamesw657]

I went with MSI cuz I think Mystic Light is the best RGB ecosystem and I think their boards are laid out really well for a first timer, like myself. And they seem to hold up pretty well from what I've heard. Plus I think they look good. I've heard ASRock's bios and polychrome are just awful, esp for someone who doesn't really know what they're doing. I do reallllly like the look of ASRock and Gigabyte's boards tho

[@rkb816]

[@zdawgdawgdawg9204]

I'm trying to figure out which itx board was the best

[@felentus]

Depends on the price. All of them seem to be decent. For me it's going to be the Gigabyte, just because it's the cheapest (by 30€) in Germany and it has proper bifurication support (if the manual is correct). I would avoid the Asus and Asrock Phantom board for now, since they use the Intel 2.5G Lan chip and that thing has an unfixable hardware bug that reduces bandwith to around 10Mb/s. While Intel says that the new revision is fixed. You don't know if you get the fixed version with the first few batches of the boards. The MSI one seems fine, but it has a fan, so it depends if you want that. I generally dislike boards with fans. The cheap Asrock board seems nice for "low" budget builds.

[@cun1806]

@@felentus if you don't need 2.5G, just set the controller to 1G in the settings and it should be fine.

[@YourSkyliner]

Really looking forward to the round up!

[@OMGJL]

there is a engineer at MSI called TOPPC who speak Chinese, he have made a video explain that the memory speed listed on their site was less than what it is, as far as his own claim goes it was because those 5000+ xmp kit was not published by Micron so they can't publish it?? something like that.... he did basically say those 6 layer PCB board can do 5000+ but at the same time they don't bother update their website which worries me. I was considering either buying the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro which is 6 layer PCB and advertise 5000+, or the MSI tomahawk(or carbon or edge), with their website not really up to date it's just so hard for me to even consider.

[@OMGJL]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gae8pHehjK-Uiac here's the video link directly to TOPPC's video at 10:25, even if you don't speak Chinese there's some PPT you can look at.

[@OMGJL]

then at 12:56 it shows a different PPT for those manual overclockers regarding ram

[@jeffotaylor]

I'm really thrown for a loop with your evaluations of the ITX boards. From what I can tell, the main pro that the x570 ones have is that both m.2 slots are pcie 4.0, where only one of the two is 4.0 on the b550 boards. Of course, ASRock's x570 itx board has an odd little niche of being the only board with a thunderbolt port, so that one can be justified. And ASUS actually nerfed the VRM - I do agree that that the Asus b550 makes very little sense to buy. But if you compare Gigabyte's x570 itx VS their b550 itx, isn't it just a straight upgrade outside of that one pcie 3.0 m.2 slot? Same VRM configuration with slightly better components (on paper), no chipset fan to worry about, better ethernet, same rear IO, and it's $40 cheaper! MSI doesn't have an x570 itx board to compare their b550 to, but this one is still very good. VRM looks like it is equal-of-better than all x570 itx boards. MSI has confirmed that the m.2 fan can be turned off completely in BIOS, so that's not a huge deal, even it is a bit nonsensical. The rear IO is just like the other itx options, though it does have a SPDIF port and a PS/2 port (lol? nice to have the option I guess). 2.5gb ethernet as well. And again, this is cheaper than any of the x570 itx options. Lots of reasons to go for b550 over x570 if you are after an itx board.

[@wowwow-xp9sk]

Bruh, i just gotta say, now that i know i can turn off the fan, you have sold this board to me, i was literally up for an entire 24 hours trying to find the perfect itx mother board, msi's itx b550 has that new connector and thats good, becuase now i can use the usb type c port on my case that i plan buying, and the vrms might be good enough for a 3700x, i,ll have to go to b550 itx part of this video rn to see if it can.

[@Ganimoth]

It is not not very clear, but that button on pro carbon seems to be clear cmos, you can just barely see "clr" under it. And as for A-Pro, the VRM layout is there, its just a bit harder to find. It is doubled 5phase with discrete mosfets.

[@Ganimoth]

And also buildzoid, A-Pro has 7 type A usb ports, its kinda good :)

[@jordibt1789]

MSI B550 lineup makes the most sense, no flagship mobo for a non flagship Chipset, and all boards are pretty solid

[@Bayonet1809]

[@dylanpremo5290]

[@jment34]

25:20 how important is the soc heatsink? Many micro atx boards don't have it. The B550M PRO-VDH WIFI also has a vga output for those with older monitors. We're going to need to see a video for the cheaper boards. Is a board with no heatsinks ok for someone that doesn't plan to overclock at all?

[@UltraDXSASC]

AB520 You mean

[@5ch4cht3l7]

You should be fine as long as you have decent airflow over the soc. CPU power consumtion also plays a big role. If you're still worried you can put small heatsinks on the chips

[@joh2805]

Good to see nice mATX boards with x16 slot in the correct location. 'Skipping' the first slot on mATX like Asus and Gigabyte is just stupid and limits access to pcie due to gpu location. On Atx it's fine cause you have extra slots, plus a bigger case to accommodate a nh-d15 or something similar that can be problematic next to a GPU in the top slot.

At 17:22 it shows 2DPC 2R max speed 3600 - does that mean with 4 single rank dimms (2 per channel) the max speed for memory is 3600mhz? Hadn't heard of this limitation on motherboards before, though I've seen many people mention it's better to have 2xDR memory on daisy chain

Since we complained about the MSI's X570 VRMs, they really took that to heart and delivered very good VRMs and VRM heatsinks on their more affordable boards. Also, I really like the mATX Mortars MSI makes. The B550M Mortar seems like the best mATX B550 out there. At least, in terms of power delivery and VRM cooling. In general, MSI seems like a very responsible company and they're taking criticism on board and are improving themselves, instead of trying to downplay it or ignore it.

[@stevens.7829]

about the fan on the itx, its for the m.2. It should actually be useful in ITX. in my dan a4 my hottest component was my SSD. I had to custom mount a 40 mm noctua because my SSD was hitting almost 100 celsius. So having a fan pre-installed on the m.2 in your cramped, hot, itx box can help if you run a high performance m.2 ssd.

[@MacA60230]

For the ITX, you say you're not sure there is a better alternative, but why isn't the Gigabyte better? It's $179 (!!!) very good VRMs, has a 5300mhz memory cap, has a backplate... Surprised you kinda brushed over it in your gigabyte video it's pretty damn good value compared to every other ITX on the market right now imo.

[@tbob2224]

The MSI does seem to have a 8+2 60a setup versus the 6+2 90a on the Gigabyte, it's hard to say which will perform better without a direct comparison. But on paper the Gigabyte does look better. I know the the MSI B450i ITX had a significantly stronger 6+2 60a setup compared to the Gigabyte B450i ITX 4+2 60a setup. Edit: Sounds like the Asrock ITX actually has a similar VRM setup to the Gigabyte but is $20 more.
