[@andreneumann3002]

Well good job on this video, it’s very good. Awesome content at start about the cryptic board descriptions. But in the mid part I was kinda shocked, that you seem to value boards on their connectors. Don’t forget that you need to see behind the connectors - some of them don’t work in some combos on some boards. Most important is here the compatibility or better to say the layout of some boards can deny full PCI-E x16 if used with m2 in some combinations. That’s the reason why some boards with x670 chipset are so “overpriced”.

[@JimKJ3N]

Seems nobody wants to talk about the ASRock B650 LiveMixer, for some reason. Incredible amount of USB ports, very good VRMs, Nahimic audio, a Gen 5 NVMe slot, and two Gen 4 NVMe slots. $150 at Newegg.

[@Liminal.Headspace]

ASRock is losing the paid review war., that's why.

[@feelingtardy]

love asrock, been using them since 2014, never one single issue

[@nathanjohnson2474]

I bought it. The audio sounded like a garbled garbage disposal with regular music compared to my TUF X670. My X670 is beyond overkill for my use case, but the audio is leaps and bounds ahead of this. Since all I do is game and record music, I went back to my overpriced board because it works so much better. Maybe I got a one-off that just leaked thru the QA process, but that was enough for me to go back.

Im using Asrock A620 with 7600x. no need to OC and price was half of what B650 was. great products from Asrock.

The MSI Edge B650 WiFi is a better board than the B650 WiFi Tomahawk version (also costs a bit more) & that is what I used on my recent Ryzen 9 7900 12C/24T 1440p build. My late-2019 3700X 1080p build used an MSI B450 Tomahawk motherboard & that PC is still running great today with all the original hardware, so both board options are a good choice really.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

It's a great board. The only real difference is the white styling and the addition of PCIE Gen 5 M.2 Support. Personally I like the look of the edge more than the Tomahawk (I know some people love matte black but I personally favor the black/white or black/silver look). And it goes on sale cheaper than the Tomahawk sometimes too.

[@curtismariani6303]

Absolutely great video, thanks Jason. I’m not currently building but use your videos to help friends and family that ask me for advice, as things change so much and I wouldn’t give out advice unless I had a good information source. I really like the Strix F board (especially as it is on sale in the uk at £209 right now) but I wish it had the Q-code reader (has helped me troubleshoot in the past) and a usb c header. The Strix b650e e gaming has these features for £269, but users need to be careful. If I’m not mistaken when M.2_3 is populated, PCIEx16_1 runs in X8 mode. Maybe not a problem right now but could be down the line for high end gaming builds. Just seems an odd choice to make as the second pcie slot may not be effected. This could be a topic to cover in an advanced builders guild. ‘’Understanding your motherboard’s connectivity and the importance of reading your manual”. Plus how to decide what features are important.

[@matheussantos9367]

[@mrivera3996]

It’s very important to note that certain motherboards will automatically lower the speed of the top PCIe slot if you plug anything into the 2nd and 3rd slots, which means your GPU will take a performance hit. My particular motherboard (Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master) does this, and lowered the top slot from PCIe 4.0 down to PCIe 3.0 after installing an expansion device into the 2nd PCIe slot.

[@darius_j11]

Much appreciated! So glad you're enjoying them, and thanks for watching :)

[@Portos_O_1os]

4:00 I must add that your Motherboard supporting 4 m.2 slots for example, or having support for PCIe Bifurcation are premiums for X series boards, rarely seen on B series boards, that further future proof your system. But you are right, not everyone will keep adding drives when they are running out of storage, and not everyone will buy a PCIe x8 GPU that has slots for 1 or 2 m.2 drives running at PCIe x4.

Jason, I've been on the fence here lately. Not sure what your thoughts are on getting into Ryzen 7000 series now, or waiting until their next generation later this year. I'll be targetting somewhere around 7900x3d territory of wanting a good workload PC while also netting solid gaming performance. I game in 4k, so not too worried about having a pure gaming chip. Thoughts on waiting versus not?

[@lordcheesington]

I just ordered my new parts and went with the ASUS TUF Gaming B650. Sort of got it by accident because I'd changed down from the ASUS ROG Strix B650E to budget for a monitor and forgot to change it back when I removed the monitor!! This is reassuring that the one I'm getting will still be a quality item, even if not the top level!! To be honest, as long as it causes no problems Im happy

Well, what coolers are you looking at the moment?

[@enragedbacon470]

The E boards also have an entire 2nd x670/b650 chipset on them, which is why they have those slots and usually more high speed connectivity(usb thunderbolt etc) its not just product segmentation, there is actual extra hardware.

[@kurisu4664]

I've been super hooked to your videos as of late Jason and I'm learning so much stuff. I'm ordering the parts for my first PC build hopefully next week but I'd like to confirm something about the mobo before I do that. I'm getting a Ryzen 5 7600 paired with an RX 7800 XT, and for mobo I was going to go for the MSI Pro B650M-A. Is this one still good enough if my purpose for this build is gaming at 1440p? Or would you recommend to take the leap up to the more premium "gaming" motherboards shown in the video? (Case is going to be the Antec NX410 you recommended so no problems about the size) Cheers!

[@BigDaddyLongSteppa]

I have the b650 mag WiFi Mobo, a 7700x, and a 4080 It’s worked well for me

[@adriankoch964]

About PCIe and m.2 slots, pay close attention to board diagram in the motherboards documentation. On some boards, if you slot a m.2 into the top (sometimes also the fastest) m.2 slot, it will half the bandwidth of the top PCIe slot (often the one with the reinforced PCIe slot intended for a heavy GPU) from x16 to x8 mode, wich can make a slight difference, especially later down the road when more powerful GPUs and things like DirectStorage will want all the bandwidth they can get.

[@dionmiller8547]

[@hjackson.92]

I currently have an Asrock B450 Fatal1ty mainboard that I will eventually need to upgrade to take advantage of PCIe 4. The main problem, though, is that this particular B450 is not as flexible as I thought when it comes to storage options. If I add a second M.2 drive, for example, I have to give up a couple of SATA ports. My impression is that the X570 boards don't have a similar issue, but if I _have_ to go with a B550, which ones don't force you to sacrifice storage options? I do not want to go with B550M, though, because those come with way fewer USB ports.

Hey Jason! Fantastic video as usual. Will the audio performance on the MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk Wifi make it worth the $50 increase in price over the audio performance of the AsRock B650M Pro RS Wifi?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

By itself, no way. But you'll get a lot more USB (and higher speed) connections, better build quality, more PCIE slots, and a full bandwidth 3rd M.2 slot which to me is enough of a package to make it worth it if you are also using an analog audio connector. But if you just want the audio, consider spending the $50 (maybe a bit more) on an external audio device instead.

[@farizalmulyana2704]

hi jason, do you recomend Asrock B650I Lightning WiFi for mini itx build?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

If you need to save money its fine, but it only has 1 m.2 slot. That is why the Gigabyte B650i is my top ITX pick for just $50 more.

[@WellEnhancer]

How can I find out for sure what speed a specific USB port can realisticly achieve? The reason for asking is that I currently have a B450 MB and game in VR through USB-C cable with currently 6 flight peripherals and a USB headset attached. In this setup my 7900XTX hardly runs any harder then like 50-ish% reaching about 36FPS. My CPU (5600G, intended to upgrade to AM5 with all the trimmings) is not even exceeding 50% at the same time. I did a speed test on the USB cable to the VR which indicated some 2,2Gbp/s, causing me to think that the USB speed is the weak link here. I tried a USB-C extension card but with only 1 lane PCIE 2 on my MB that only gets up to 360Mbp/s. Currently I'm thinking about upgrading to a Gigabyte X670 GAMING X AX with either a 7700, or 7700X or a 7800X3D with 64GB RAM Corsair Vengeance RGB CMH64GX5M2B6000Z30. Still not sure about the processor, partly because of the 3D design work and photo editing which I also use the same PC for and partly because I don't want to overspend on my CPU considering the 5600G is keeping up quite well so far. The most important game in VR is DCS. Can you help me out?

can you share me your thoughts about the B550M AORUS ELITE?

Im looking to get a MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI for ryzen 5 7600 and rx 6700xt. Should i get a different board or is this good?

[@alynch9846]

I just upgraded last year, don't use AMD, and already know most of this stuff but I still click because this is the fastest, most passionate, most detailed knowledge about my hobby on this website.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Hey thank you!! I really appreciate it (:

[@pR0ManiacS]

Don't used AMD gpu or cpu? What happened

[@6r3ys0n]

Well if you want intricate knowledge you should probably watch guys like Actually Hardcore Overclocking and Frame Chasers. This channel is definitely for newbies but I will say he doesn't steer people in the wrong direction. Most people are brand loyal and not intelligent. When they should only care about the fastest. That's why I currently run a 4090 and 7800x3d. If AMD didn't suck so bad in the graphics market, and could produce the fastest I would go with them as simple as that. Makes me sick.

[@alynch9846]

@@pR0ManiacS Well I meant I am not using AMD for this build. I am sure sad I didn't wait for the 7800X3D

Whats wrong with the cheap mb models?

@@orion9knothing they just don’t offer as many ram slots I think and don’t look as good

[@nathanlarson6535]

​@@orion9k "A" chipsets for Ryzen (like A320, A520, and A620) don't allow overclocking or PBO and usually are very barebones. It's fine for a super low budget build but you can also find a used or even new B450 for a little more, if not the same price anyways that's probably better.

Waiting on the next gen of AM5 MBs to be released. Assuming announcement and preview at Computex in June. probably released in fall. Just in time to get great deals for Black Friday or Boxing Day, when I do most of my computer shopping.

[@FrogOnALog1]

The ASRock B550 Pro4 AM4 doesnt have flashback will that be a problem with a AMD Ryzen 5 6500

[@ickyendeavors4179]

I would agree on the A series. However, there are several -very- bad B boards. The one thing is, we're starting to see X series in that same price segment (see Asrock X670E Pro, which is now in several places below $200) that said, the most significant benefits of X670E do matter depending on your end use plan. Having a 10Gbe onboard was a virtual requirement for what I was after, as a Quadro is going to take up slots, and I have repeatedly upgraded my NVME to as fast as I can go for video swap surface before it gets to my NAS. One other item you don't often find on B650 is Thunderbolt4, which, if you are also dealing with creator purposes, you are likely to need. So, plan on your purpose. Are you building to game? Or are you building to create? Very different. And, at a certain point, you may hit an area where looking at Threadripper pays off. I'm not eager to upgrade my Threadripper 5975, but PCI-E lanes, but for some users, this will matter. Keep in mind: fastest graphics card will also be very different based on your build purposes.

I have an ryzen 7 in my pc atm, and bought a ryzen 9, does the motherboard that fits the ryzen 7 also fit the ryzen 9?

Would love a similar video but instead about coolers (both air and liquid) for ryzen cpus !! :))

[@pauloazuela8488]

I can easily find my way into other parts no problem but motherboard is where I struggle because there's too many things to look out for and their names won't give out there actual specs. I'm thankful you have a comprehensive guide like this

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Its a lot I know! Glad we can help

[@dontdisregarddesire]

Would you recommend the MSI B650M Mortar as a mATX alternative to the Tomahawk? They seem to be more or less the same other than the form factor

[@PCBuilderChannel]

yes except it only has 2 m.s slots, that may not matter to you though

Hi Jason- I've been looking at the MicroCenter bundle that comes with the 7700x CPU and the B650-P PRO WiFi AMD AM5 ATX motherboard and G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit. After watching this video I'm now wondering if I should pass on the bundle and buy the parts separately. You made no mention of this motherboard in your recommendations. And while the bundle seems like a good deal, I am being cautious as a first time PC builder.

[@kelley09162]

No that's a good deal and you should get it. He just doesn't recommend that Motherboard here because by itself it's currently more important expensive than the Gigabyte Eagle and MSI Gaming Plus WIFI with similar specs.

[@iAboulouafa]

Great video, very instructive, but what about the Gigabyte b650 gaming X ? Is it good and if there is a good audio codec in it ?

[@kelley09162]

That Motherboard has the base audio codec in it but it's a good Motherboard. Just note there's a V2 of it out now which I assume makes some improvements over the original.

[@iAboulouafa]

@@kelley09162 thank you, finally i bought the asus X670E tuf Gaming wifi for fu future CPU upgrades

[@Trooper10231]

I have a B550 in my 2020 build, with a 3800X and a 3060Ti. Im kind of astonished that the B550 is still on the thumbnail image for a "best Ryzen Mobo's in 2024" video 😅 Recently updated to 5800X3D, and im looking to go next gen Radeon when 2025 rolls around.

[@GlossyChalkian]

Hello, Jason-PC Builder. I would love your personal opinion. I bought one of your recommended prebuilt pc’s a while back. asus prime b550-plus ac-hes, NVIDIA rtx 3070, and ryzen 5 5600X. w/o replacing: asus prime b550-plus ac-hes. What’s the highest gpu/cpu you recommend w/o breaking the motherboard compatibility?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

That board isn't fantastic, but no reason it couldn't do a Ryzen 5800X3D or 5700X3D. Will likely need a better cooler. Just make sure to update the bios to a compatible one with the new CPUs (latest non-beta version). Once you do that, should be ok with just about any current gen GPU, as long as your PSU has enough power for it.

[@madman0627]

Hello!!! Im not an english speaker, but want to say AWESOME CHANNEL i have like 6 months looking for a good YT channelt that helps to fix the builds!

[@PrincessofKeys]

Think I'll still go for the ASRock B640 Pro RS for the midrange as thats what I'm going and also been recommended in a build with the R5 7600 as well. I already know want the R5 7500 cpu so that should be fine.

[@jayphi4095]

Hi, isn’t it preferable to select a X670 chipset to gain PCIe 5.0 capability on the graphic card 16X slot? B650 is limited to PCIe 4.0 on it even if it has a M2 capability of 5.0 for 1….

[@davidhalliday7776]

For Zen5 remember there are 28 PCIe lanes. 4 are reserved for taking to the chipset(s) if you are 670 chipset is really just two 650s chained onto the same 4x PCI chipset lanes. The other 24 lanes are normally diveded between 16 for GPU slot, 4 for main M.2, 4 for second M.2 the final 4 are either a PCI slot (often a x16 slot but only wired with 4 lanes) a 3rd lane or on a handful of bards they use these for a 40gb/s USB4 port.

Is Gigabyte B650M DS3H a good motherboard for ryzen 5 7600?

[@etan8612]

I noticed you recommended the D3HP but I read the Gigabyte budget boards have bad VRMS (discrete MOSFETs). I don't really understand this, does it also apply to the D3HP? And is it a big reason to avoid a mobo? Thanks for the great video!

[@pokka626]

I am wondering the same thing too. I just bought a D3HP AX with Ryzen 7600x and Radeon 7800xt and I believe it is fine since I do not plan on overclocking etc
