Best X670 Motherboard for Ryzen 7600X, 7700X, 7900X, 7950X | Best X670E Motherboard

[@ezambranolp]

I have to thank you the fact that you DO take the time to explain even the simplest and basic concepts so even debutants can understand you. It is a HUGE added value to your videos, something missing in other KZbinrs that are maybe for more experienced audience with the same high quality content but hard for some of us to follow. Please keep it like that, cheers!

Don’t plan on doing my first ever build until around January. Have been watching everything for almost a year. Hoping by then things cool down and maybe AMD will have their GPUs out by then too. Your videos are the best explaining at bang for buck hardware.

Bonus content from Jason. That always makes a day better. I currently am very happy with my 5600x paired with a 6700xt so I doubt I will upgrade to a 7000 anytime soon. I would probably go with a 670 if I did upgrade

Good morning fellow Jason! And yes you have a great combo, no reason to change at the moment (:

[@x8jason8x]

@Shorts Kittu Cats All the Jason in one thread! lol You can edit 4k on a 6700xt, it'll just take a long time compared with its' nVidia counterparts. AMD GPUs are a solid choice for gaming, but for productivity and multitasking, nVidia still has a significant advantage, apples to apples. Given nVidia's recent behavior, I don't blame anyone wanting to avoid them, but time is money after all.

[@Jasonwkey]

I don't do any video editing. Gaming performance is amazing

[@torukmahtomahto409]

Price vs benefit..you have a 5900x variant cheaper than 5800x3d anytime time you want, which is also a gaming perspective ugrade...so, a value only for 350 to 450$ more vs 1000+$ cpu,mb,ram of 7000 series to last more than 3 years..Even for a new built...

Glad to see this motherboard in your recommended section. I was a bit worried about audio but I will see later how it sounds. The only thing I don't like in this motherboard is the second pcie x16 slot with only 4x connected. Kinda dissapointed in that but overall this motherboard looks fantastic!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Agreed! Ryzen 7000 value is going to be all about the platform costs. And thank you!

[@P5YKOTIK1870]

It's ABSOLUTELY REDICULOUS especially with these x670e motherboards where the price is around $500 just for the motherboard and then $300 for the cheapest cpu. You can almost build a pretty decent PC ( as long as you're willing to buy a used gpu) for the same cost as the mobo and cpu. IT'S FU@KING RIDICULOUS

[@SlavGuns]

Picked up a 7700x with the free 32 gig ram promo from microcenter but waiting on boards. Getting a cheaper board with no PCIe5 or only 1 just does not seem to make much sense unless you plan on ripping out the board to replace it in the future. Features wise, as a content creator, I REALLY like the idea of the Asus Pro Art.... dual PCI-e 5 if I want to run dual gpus, more importantly for some fast NVMEs to work off of locally and transfers.... (each video I do is easily 100 to 200 gigs). And of course the idea of thunderbolt sounds great for color grading monitors and transferring files to either a DAS... OR 10 gig ethernet if transfering to a NAS... oh.... and it does not look like the neon/RGB fairy spit up all over it. lol. Yes, it's $500... but seems more like a "buy once, cry once" proposition for at least the next 5 years or so. with the cheaper boards... its like might as well have stayed on Ryzen 5000 and X570. =) And I am guessing the new Radeon cards coming out in November will be PCI-e 5.0.

Honestly gr8 work u r doing. U made the explanation so much easy, I was getting more n more focussed in what u were saying. Keep it up. Btw, want to get ur opinion on a PC build that I wana do. I was originally planning to do a DDR4 build with 5900x for main use of running VMs, which would make it more affordable. But since Ryzen 7000 launched, which shows a lot of performace uplift, like crossing 5+ GHz, I literally got excited. But then I learned the bitter truth, that is, Expensive CPU + Expensive MOBO + Expensive RAM + Expensive SSD PCIe5. And since AMD mentioned only for it to be there till like late 2025, should I go with Ryzen 7000 or going with 5900x/64GB RAM DDR4/1TB SSD Gen 3, will have me covered for like next 10 years for mostly running VMs?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

That's a great question. I think that 5900X build will be an absolutely beast. But you might want to wait a bit and see how the Ryzen 7000 performance numbers change when the next gen gpus become available next month. For more on that see the 7900X build we did on the channel. The launch of the new Intel CPUs and Black Friday will also likely affect Ryzen 5000 and Ryzen 7000 pricing so it might not hurt to give it a few weeks and see what happens.

@todotecnoarg Personally I have not had any issues whatsoever. I'm not sure what reviews have been left by other people, but I can confirm that it is a beast of a motherboard. I haven't touched much except fan speeds and EXPO profiles being that it supports DDR5 Ram. If I were to upgrade any component such as Mthrbrd, CPU, or GPU it would be the Mthrbrd last. There are Gen 5 PCIE slots included that future proof the need for a Mthrbrd when GPU (or other hardware) is eventually made for PCIE 5. Almost forgot, but the built in graphics ALMOST gives no need to a GPU it seems, and the audio/wifi/bluetooth drivers explain themselves in their quality. Am running a RX 7800 XT and R9 7900 X. Solidworks (CAD program) and any AAA game at highest settings are absolutely no problem.

[@lathoncarter771]

do you think nzxt will be launching an am5 socket mobo?

[@Dangerous_Ride]

Great video, thank you, but I'd like to hear/learn more about "audio codecs" on motherboard... How to know which ones are high quality and which ones are not, and what exactly is the purpose of "audio codec", what's that thing exactly, how can you use it, is it for headphones, speakers or what, etc... :)

[@PCBuilderChannel]

On x670 it is pretty binary because there are no boards with "middle step" codecs like the ALC1100, ALC1200, etc. They are either entry level ones ALC897, or they immediately jump up to the best available (ALC1220 & ALC4080). I do expect we'll see some more of the middle step ones in B650 as board makers look to trim costs down a bit more. When we do the best motherboard for Ryzen 7000, we will do an audio section and go into codecs a little more in detail - just waiting for B650 to launch.

[@donaldsmith881]

[@donaldsmith881]

@@x8jason8x yesterday the 5950x was 499 on Amazon and micro center 5900 was 80 cheaper and 5800x3d was about 70 cheaper and they were for brand new. today the 5950 is 699 at Amazon

[@x8jason8x]

@@donaldsmith881 Yeah there are some extreme examples, but I pulled prices from everywhere on the tally. 5950x is 639 on amazon where I'm sitting though. 5900x on amazon, direct from AMD is only 368 though, so it's almost as if they know they're gonna have a rush at the 5950x.

Thankyou 🙂

You’re welcome 😊 Thanks for watching!

4:35 You said USB 4 will have speeds of up to 40 Gigabits per second (40 Gb/s) BUT the graphic you put on the screen says 40 GB/s or Gigabytes per second ( 1 Byte = 8 bits ). Either your screen is wrong or your statement is wrong. What is the correct speed of USB 4 ?

can youu make a dedicated video on VRM? what all to lookout and difference between doublers and all?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Probably a little too in-depth for what we do, but here is a great article to get you started: www.hardwaretimes.com/how-does-a-vrm-work-phases-doublers-inductors-and-capacitors/#:~:text=They%20function%20by%20distributing%20the,portion%20of%20the%20required%20amount.

Thanks Jason! I need USB ports more than PCI-E slots and I don't overclock much... sounds like I may get the most basic board just for longevity purposes. PCI-E 5.0 for graphics is a total waste even for the next few years as you said, so 'maybe' I'll have a PCI-E 5.0 SSD at some point, but that's about it. I hope you'll review the B series when it's out next week!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad it was helpful! And we will definitely cover the B series when it's out and we have all the pricing!

why's the audio codecs related to the motherboard?

[@TimLongson]

The Ryzen 9 7950X3D cache is rumoured to not be release until CES 2023 (Jan 5th-8th 2023). Having seen the HUGE boost in performance that the 3D cache gave to the 5800X3D, to the point where that last generation chip holds its own against the just released 7950X and the not yet released intel 13th gen flag ship, there is no way I would get a CPU before the 3D cache version, so I am praying the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is released sooner, just after intel 13th gen, so they crush it, and I don't have to wait even more months before building a brand new from scratch rig. Fingers crossed AMD have the sense to release the Ryzen 9 7950X3D straight after intel 13th gen so that AMD can corner the market before the Christmas purchasing rush!

[@Birdman._.]

Ryzen 7 7800x3d will be releaded even if ryzen 9 7950X3d released it would be mininum 850$

[@torukmahtomahto409]

Amd is shooting on own legs..looking at the 5800x3d price difference, not justified even for gaming, the cost of any 7000x3d will be monstruos loosing all 5000 series benefits in value..and waiting for stupid buyers..

[@Coolfwip]

currently building my 7700 on an asrock steel legend, was sweating when you didnt mention it in the first round of asrock boards lmfao

[@little_fluffy_clouds]

Thanks for the round-up. I went with the Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Gene. I wanted a mATX board and I didn't mind the high price since I'll keep this board through several generations of future AMD CPUs and it had all the enthusiast features I wanted in a compact form factor, such as USB4 and three M.2 slots. It is a beautifully-engineered board which looks great, too.

[@mysticdre321]

You said nothing about the MSI MEG ACE. Why?

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

Its really scary shopping for all these boards. The reviews are pretty terrible across the board. Even for the $500 versions which are still somehow not dropping in price months later.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

The pricing is still crazy on these boards for sure

[@ChrisQuitsReality]

Yo watched this like 5 times and am a bit torn What's ur opinion on Asus Pro Art X670e vs the Asus Strix Gaming x670e-e? I'm building a new workhorse pc that is literally all purpose from 4k editing to high end VR gameplay and recording, streaming etc. I'm really torn between the 2. I don't need the 10gb lan but the usb 4 seems nice to have, the 16+2 power phase concerns me but I only plan on using the automatic overclocking features of the 7950x would this be enough? Full build should be 4090, 1300w psu, 32gb 6000 ddr5 and a 7950x. Only reason I passed on the asrock x670e tachi was the lack of the lower pcie lane but if you feel that would be a better option i'm still considering it! Any guidance would be appreciated!

[@legeaux1]

Love your vids Jason, I’m on a 1200$ budget and I don’t know if I should go with cheap am4 or am5

[@PCBuilderChannel]

With that budget right now I'd look at Ryzen 5000 series. But you might want to wait a bit and see what prices do around Black Friday and the Intel launches

[@plumphoenix-hy5yn]

I got one question why didn't u put ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme??
