I guess having white ram slots would have costed them another 2 dollars.... using white pcie slots but black ram slots makes zero sense.Thankfully Gigabyte is making truly full white boards.

Just grabbed the B650 Aorus Elite last week did a full white build no complaints

I have same question but best looking is to use 4 dimm and it is hard to see the slot if populated all4 dimms 😂 Anyway

@@frankwong9486 Sure but utilizing all 4 slots with DDR5 tanks memory speeds hard. Current gen CPUs be that Intel or AMD has pretty weak controllers when it comes to 4 dimm usage for example you will be lucky if you can achieve 6000mhz, 5600 is more likely to be the max

@@kerotomas1 basically all platform struggle to get high speed with 4 dimms Even t-top board If need high speed have to get a daisy chain board/ or board only have 2 dimms slot for better signal integrity , but unfortunately good overclock board in white is very rare always :(

@@frankwong9486 Nah this is only with DDR5 cpu generations. I had a 11900K build with 4 DDR4 dimms running at 3800Mhz CL14 in Gear 1 which was almost the best you can get. (By the way nowadays every single motherboard is daisy chain, T-topology died around the time of Intel 10th gen / Ryzen 3000, 2 slot motherboards can possibly yield better results but not necessarily as i tried the Z790 Apex and it couldn't do better than the Hero)

Why cant Asus make a Proper X670E/X870E White motherboard with all the features, instead they have to make None E white Board, most people would stick with Asus, but instead have to go to Gigabyte for a proper X870E white Board like the new X870E AOURUS PRO ICE.

@1nfiniteloop 2 ай бұрын

Agree, X870 without the E in white is a bit useless. prime in white or silver is the budget non-E one but the A version got robbed!😂👍

Nice overview, but just 2 SATA ports and all that PCIe lane sharing??? I'd rather have just 1 PCIE 5.0 NVME + 3 PCIE 4.0 drives without all that bifurcation stuff.

@ALKtech 2 ай бұрын

Yeah the bifurcation stuff feels like a classic example of form over function, to be able to put it on paper that the board comes with two Gen 5 M.2 slots but at the expense of something else... That said, this lane sharing situation seems to be a thing with higher-end X870E and X870 boards from other brands too, and I'd say that this is due to chipset design limitations - with AMD making USB4 a compulsory feature, manufacturers have got to route some PCIe lanes to the USB4 controller, thereby contributing to this bifurcation situation!

Hey mate, does this board have working Asynchnorous Clock, getting conflicting reports saying its greyed out or not there at all..

I also have a question for you who know how to answer me. To this, the main board for connecting power supplies CPU 6+2 2 plugs. If I don't do oc, I have to connect all 2 moves 6+2 or I can connect only 1 to work in the parameters.

I've not personally used a PC with just one 8-pin CPU connector plugged in, but theoretically it should work fine with just one 8-pin CPU connector plugged in especially if your processor doesn't draw that much power and if you're not overclocking. What processor are you/will you be using with the motherboard?

Hi, quick question. I want to build my first PC with this motherboard. Now I have heard that on some motherboards there can be problems on the first boot up because they can’t find any wifi networks. Does this happen on this motherboard as well? Have a good day!

@ALKtech 26 күн бұрын

Hey there, it sounds like an issue of not having the WIFI drivers installed - when installing Windows for the first time there usually is a way to bypass needing an Internet connection, continuing with the Windows install and booting to the desktop, where you can then install the appropriate WIFI drivers to gain Internet connectivity. Hope this helps!

@divin0wnage16 Ай бұрын

So i should install my second NVME on the m.2_3 slot so it doesnt take bandwidth from the gpu right?

@ALKtech Ай бұрын

Yeap - have your first NVMe installed on M.2_1, and your second NVMe drive either on M.2_3 or M.2_4. Do note that if you have a drive installed on M.2_3, the full-length PCIe 4.0 x16 slot will be disabled entirely, which is important to note especially if you need to install say, a streaming/capture PCIe card etc.

Will the gigabyte aorus white ice x870 be better than this one ?

@ALKtech Ай бұрын

Looking at the specs sheet, both boards are largely similar, though with the Gigabyte board you mentioned, you do get one more PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot - but it comes with all that PCIe lane sharing stuff that will affect your graphics card slot's bandwidth. Personally, I'd prefer an all-white board for an all-white build, and the Gigabyte has white components too compared to the ASUS. In any case, I'd have to compare prices between both boards before making a decision!

@crimsonram77 Ай бұрын

CAD = $499.99 + $0.05 Tax $25 A TOTAL: $524.99. Is how much I paid for mine from Amazon. There isn't any other better board for my setup
