B550. Nowadays no graphics cards to buy for the time being. So, my upgrade path now is to buy an amd chip with inbuilt graphics with a B550 motherboard. My question now is what chip to buy? If the graphics cards are available i want to upgrade to ryzen 5800x chip with a 3070 card or 6800xt card. I do not know if i am the only one thinking in this direction. Can you give us more input on this topic?

Your videos are extremely well thought out, put together, and organized. Straight to the point without wasting any time. Highly informative, with very practical information! Happy to have found your channel, man. I look forward to your future content. I'd like to see you talk about some niche things that some of us think about too, like who actually benefits from using a PCI-E 4.0 SSD instead of 3.0. Are there any other uses for PCI-E 4.0 chipset slots, other than M.2's? I've seen SK Hynix Gold P31 SSD's beat out 4.0 SSD's in game loading times for some reason, which leads me to believe, that gamers simply won't benefit from anything "faster". Also, who benefits from upgrading to, say, a 5800x+ from 5600x (maybe low settings, competitive gamers? Star Citizen maybe? Maybe there's little difference now, but could there be in a year when newer, better GPU's launch with a 5800x?) in gaming. Are there ANY gaming scenarios in which someone benefits from upgrading to at least a 5800x? Another good question is.. How much does 16GB versus 32GB matter for gamers, in say highly RAM demanding games like Star Citizen? I like the idea you did with your video about RAM. You made a quick little checklist for spending more money on RAM. I think the same could be done for other factors too, like upgrading RAM capacity, CPU's(going up in core count), SSD's etc. Thanks again.

[@thiefrules]

Really good video. Explained a lot concisely, explained the reasonings behind why you chose that board, showed the board and information most people don't talk about, and there's loads of choices. Plus, it's fairly recent and takes into account the current pricing as of the time of upload (most ppl go by MSRP, which in 2021, is a lost cause). Though one huge, huge warning I have to give is look out for the ethernet chip, especially on the more expensive Asus motherboards. Specifically the boards with a 2.5 gigabit port. They use the Intel i225-V, which is notorious for being defective by design. And there's 3 revisions of it (the first 2 are defective while the 3rd supposedly fixes all the issues), so which revision you get depends on the manufacturing date. Only problem is, Asus corporate is useless and doesn't let you know this information, so it's literally a gamble to get a board with the revision 3 i225-V. And to figure out which revision you have, you need to either disassemble the motherboard and look for the writing on the physical chip, or get it to boot into an OS and check using Asus' Armory Crate or device manager. Trying to get information out of Asus support regarding which revision they're shipping (because it's confirmed they're shipping revision 3 since July for the Intel counterparts, but it's not confirmed for the B550) is like pulling teeth. Like seriously, I bought an Asus Strix B550-F, Asus support told me corporate didn't give them any information whatsoever so they couldn't help me, and I ended up having to follow a random forum post in order to take off the VRM heatsink, angle the board at a very specific angle, then use a floodlight to capture a readable picture of the chip. Got a revision 2 board after all that trouble. I'm lucky in that I have the resources and free time to RMA and return, but a lot of people don't have that luxury. So fair warning to those who buy a board with an Intel i225-V. Loads of angry complaints on reddit, amazon (check the reviews for the boards in this review with the i225-V), and Intel's forums (it got to be so bad that Intel deleted the entire thread dedicated to documenting this issue). But the workaround is to add an external ethernet port via an NIC card thing. You shouldn't have to do this with a $200 motherboard imo, but 2021 is shaping up to be the year of compromises so 🤷 (Time to buy a used 1660 for $500 USD unless you want to wait until 2022 for stock to maybe appear 🥴)

I have three AMD Mobos: GB X570 Ultra, Asus B550-E Strix, and GB B550 Elite. All of them are great choices at a different price point. The X570 and the Asus B550 are paired with Ryzen 9 5950x, no thermal throttling at all. The GB B550 Elite is paired with Ryzen 5 5600x, no issue at all. One thing I do not like about the Asus B550-E Strix is that if I shut down the computer and unplug the power cord, the computer does not boot when the memory is overclocked. I have to clear the CMOS every time I unplug the computer. No such issues with the Gigabyte boards.

Another neat feature of the Dark Hero is the hybrid oc technology. You can set a PBO curve for single core burst loads and a static oc for multicore loads. The mb will automatically switch between. I'm pretty sure this is the only board that does this since it is a hardware implementation over software. You can get the best of both worlds since settings a static oc usually kills single core performance and PBO doesn't give the best multicore performance. I ended up using the Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master for my 5900x. I wish the Dark Hero would have came out before I bought this one though for that feature.

USB ports dont matter that much if you have a decent enough screen with a hub built in. I get my Audio from a £10 USB dongle that hangs off of my monitor. There's not much point in overclocking in this day and age, but check for VRM's that can supply clean power consisently without overheating. My price range is generally find out what the cheapest motherboard from a reputable manufacturer is then multiply by 1.5 - 1.6 so that they have margin not to cheap out on crap components.

Just building a new pc and your videos have been a HUGE help. Thank you. Went with the Asus TUF gaming 550 plus just because I was getting wifi at no extra cost. I now have the 5600x, 6700xt & the board... time to start filling in the gaps with your other videos :)

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad it was helpful! Best wishes on your build

[@PDNW]

Was just browsing pc content and stumbled across this channel. Extremely informative, and straight forward. You've gained another sub and I hope this channel takes off big time.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Cool! Thanks so much and welcome to the channel

[@flashbackflip]

man^ you are THE saviour for me being off the gaming PC market for about 20 years and returning now (last things I do remember are sVGA cards and first PCI ports discussions LMAO)

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad we could help!! And yes it can be a challenge coming back into it. I've been there myself (:

[@davidgray347]

I bought a MSI X570 2 yrs ago and love it.

[@BloodyClash]

Bought my Aorus X570 board when i still used a Ryzen 5 2600 so i luckily could update the bios for my current Ryzen 7 5800x. But you're right - there will be some years before i will need PCIE 4.0

[@siemprepalante773]

That was one thorough and in-depth breakdown...lol Thanks for all the info. Tring to configure a custom build and all of it definitely helped. Stay healthy.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad it was helpful! Best of luck with your rig

[@Andrew-cp7mc]

A major consideration is the price difference between a comparable B550 and X570; for example, the Asus Rog Strix X570-I in Australia is very close in price to the Asus Rog Strix B550-I.

[@belmiana]

Seriously, the best tech channels on KZbin. I don't have anything to add or to say, other than your smashing the competition. I'm giving this comment not because of this video but in all the video I've watched that you posted.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you so much! We really appreciate the feedback. Hope you keep enjoying the channel!

[@GeckoGreg]

You said the price was gonna change a lot, and you are right I’ve been looking at a B550 motherboard and somehow it just jumped to 270 dollars out of nowhere.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

They do fluctuate for sure! And just fyi we do have an updated version of this video for you to check out - Best Ryzen Motherboard 2022

[@chrisneru6564]

My first build I oped for the B550 and glad I did after seeing your video.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Nice!

[@og_pixel_ninja]

Building my first gaming pc in years, and i chose the Ryzen5900x processsor, acquired an MSI RTX3060 Gaming X at a more palatable price after a long hunt, but I personally chose the Gigabyte x570 AORUS Elite wifi board, an NZXT 750watt {C750} PSU, and I have 4 sticks of Corsair 16gb RGB Vengence PRO stix of ram. Should suit me just fine with my setup, plus I have a 3 fan rgb water cooler going into the mix as well.gb. This rig should take care of all my gaming needs!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Awesome! Happy building!

[@anothervoyager9654]

14:05 I actually love the minimalist simple retro look with classic heatsinks instead of those chunky ugly "gaming" labelled aesthetics, which looks so cheesy and overdone imo. Not everyone wants that "gaming" aesthetic. Me as a music producer, I like a lot more ultra minimalist non intrusive builds around my instruments.

[@brandon.agentofchoice]

you just honestly brought so much clarity after days of deciding, thank you!!!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad! We do have an updated version of this video if you want to check that out - Best Ryzen Motherboard 2022. 2023 version coming later this spring

[@LeafwortThumbfloggin]

Just want to say thanks 6 months in the future. This helped clear up a lot of confusion when shopping.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

That's great to hear!

[@casmx7300]

When I was building my PC back in December/January, I was looking at B550 and X570 motherboards to go along with my Ryzen 5 5600x and I managed to get a ASUS Prime X570-P on Amazon, Used for 90 bucks. In fact, I just looked for the hell of it and as of me writing this, there's one on Amazon used for $100.46. And honestly, I simply picked it up because I was on a budget and it was the most affordable option at the time and from what I could tell, it's a solid board. For those that aren't skeptical about buying used or refurbished, you can score some fantastic deals with a bit of perseverance, patience and luck.

[@babakxaamilkcar3424]

I built my pc w/ x570 i didnt know how to do bios flashback so i just hoped it turns on and i was lucky😀

[@twincitiessound4372]

I'm that target market for the 2.5gb and 1gb LAN ports. I connect to my network with 1gb LAN and to a Qnap NAS sitting on my desk that I use for content creation. Having the port on there saves me from having to upgrade my home network infrastructure to 2.5gb to utilize the speed from the NAS. Great video!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you for that explanation! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@apox467]

Aside from the actual context of the video, this is one of the most sensible and viewer friendly videos I’ve seen on KZbin. Thank you so much. Additionally you helped me pick a mobo. Definitely subscribing.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad you enjoyed! Thank you for the sub and keep an eye out for our updated Ryzen Motherboards 2022 video coming soon!

[@ParisLondonRoma]

A lot of headaches would go away if some people realized overclocking has become pointless

[@jussit3909]

I haven't watched the whole video yet, but I got to say already, nice job! You're actually explaining everything and not just focusing in the presentation. I've watched so many motherboard-related videos and read many reviews but this one really helps to understand it all.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

I appreciate that! Glad we could help

[@georgemitchell2288]

I've got a X370 Asus Prime Pro. It has a BIOS update from Asus that made it compatible with Ryzen 5000. I've flashed the BIOS when I had my 1600, for better memory compatibility, then my 3700X, and now my 5700X. As you mentioned Pcie 3.0 is fine since even high end cards don't saturate the pcie lanes, yet. My board has a ALC 1220, is full ATX, and has a 3.1 type C connector. The clincher I bought it at Microcenter for just 20.00 with my R5 1600 for 85.00. It's lasted me years, and will last me for years more with the 5700X. BIOS flashing is safe, if you know what you're doing, and pay attention. The only cost to me were my processors. If you can do it stop creating e-waste, or recycle those "old" platforms into something: home file servers, 3d printer print servers, home theater pc's. BTW you had to put the chip into the board right? So you would have to put on the heatsink at least once, right? You have to clean the inside of the PC at least once a year, right? So you would regularly take off the CPU cooler and blow it out, re-paste and reseat the cooler. Geez.

[@ScottXiong]

I greatly appreciate the Ryzen 5000 builder-benefitting tips in this video. Been awhile since I built a PC (every 5 years or so), and it was a great surprise to me when my 5900X was black screening with no POST (ASUS TUF-B550M PLUS WIFI), and I was stumped for a while troubleshooting other areas. This video correctly and accurately pinpointed my issue, and your next video about the Flashback feature and how-to-use was very helpful (without having to use an older CPU). Subscribed with notifications. Thanks!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad we were helpful! Welcome to the channel and thanks for watching

[@edinbrodlic4564]

Love the channel! Just pure techy talk, no fluff or marketing talk, keep it up!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks for the feedback, it means a lot!

[@JT98266]

ASRock B550m-ITX/ac should also be considered. It's cheap and works really well for anything where you are not overclocking - the author may have excluded it because it isn't apparent that is supports 'bios flashback' because it doesn't use a button on the back panel. However, even the old BIOS versions allow booting to BIOS with the 5000 series, where you can update the BIOS version and it runs fine. Had no problem putting in a 5800X from the box.

[@knjpollard]

I ended up with the Ryzen 7 5800x, B550 Aorus Pro AC and RTX 3060. Working great.

[@discobites]

Absolute best video I’ve come across for this topic. Super comprehensive and to the point. Liked, Subbed, and commenting for the algorithm.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks for the sub and the comment! We sure appreciate it

[@alexandergritsyna6418]

Thanks, just finished buying all of my parts for my next build.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Best of luck with your build!

[@Brad-bb7ey]

I grew up with dogs, my kids brought home a newly born kitten that they couldn't find the mom for. We nursed it back to health, took it to the vet and that cat is now one of the best animals I've ever had. Her name is Fishy and now I need to know where you go that shirt lol

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Aw! Say hello to Fishy for us! You can find them on amazon (;

[@terminasitor769]

I got a b450 tomahawk max II for 70€ I paired it with a 5800x that I got for 330€... All around I think 400€ is a great price for these two

[@NikeetShah]

Absolutely amazing video, Complete noob interms of PC's here and the breakdown of the video is amazing (like a flowchart) with all the questions leading onto each other. I atleast know the specs I need to look for and would've never thought about the Audio Codec for example. Thanks!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Awesome! So glad it was helpful

[@dann6067]

Thanks a ton for this video! Helped me tremendously.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@janushpro3351]

I personally chose B550 DS3H pretty budget motherboard for 70£ but it was really easy to build in compared to intel and serves my purpose really well.

[@JaswiL-_51]

this helps me a LOT. Really excited for my first built PC. I bought the GIGABYTE B550m DS3H, but after watching this video I decided to go with GIGABYTE AORUS PRO-P because of the better audio.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad we could help! Best of luck for your build.

[@Kam-mo2hs]

I’m actually using a B350 motherboard for my R7 5800X and I’ve had no issues. Sure I had to update my BIOS but it’s running perfectly fine.

[@sachinsaravana8664]

Thank you so much my man. I went with the Asus tuf b550 plus. Extremely satisfied. Once again, thank you

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Great to hear!

[@Kahitanou]

good video. critique only is it has too much reference from your other videos. "im talking about this motherboard if you remember from my previous videos last September" "now this motherboard if you remember from my August vid"

[@xyoojj]

Great break down. Easy to understand. Board recommendations at the end were helpful.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Glad we could help!
