ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming Wi-Fi Motherboard

[@eat.a.dick.google]

Of course it can be used for more than gaming. It's a computer. For an 870E board it has a low PCIe slot count and even with that being the case they still cripple the first PCIe slot.

[@laggmonstret]

Exactly my point of view lol. Either use X670E or go Intel Z890 if Arrow Lake turns out great I guess?

[@---GOD---]

Extremely overkill for most of the people watching this video

[@403errorskydaddynotfound3]

I just ordered mine a couple hours ago on Amazon. I’m replacing my ASUS x670e-e due to instability.

[@Ericg360]

What time of instability issues. Mine had error 00 and currently asus is diagnosing it ughh

[@sopcannon]

I go 2 slots in use using a AIC card as well as 3 nvme slots on my x570 board.

[@robainscough]

2 PCIe slots, X16 slot will not work with GPU waterblock … no thanks!!

[@RobFisherUK]

I'd probably choose a board more suited to a home server, maybe with a BMC, and add a PCI card for extra Nvme slots.

[@MOSMASTERING]

I was just about to buy a custom PC from cyber power but should I wait for these new motherboards? The work I do doesn't need a graphics card at all, but is INCREDIBLY CPU heavy, so I was going to spend the GPU money on Raid0 2x 12,000Mb/s SSDs and 8000mhz RAM which might give me an extra 1-2% speed, but I genuinely need all I can get - also can't run Threadripper so I'm going with 9950X. But, I can get more power from a newer motherboard because of better traces and memory layout?

[@datsweetsansabooty]

Look into the MSI one instead. The m.2 on their x670 and x870 boards don't share lanes like this one does. I know you don't use the gpu, but I believe all boards will have the first 2 share lanes and the the third pcie lane is connected to the chip set along with the m.2 4.0 ssd's.

[@siralitis]

Does anyone knows how to fix , Every time i install Armoury crate my pc windows 10 Freeze . Any solutions ? I do format , clean install , reinstall nothing helps !!!

[@sergiofilho7845]

I love Asus software and MB layout but if the 9950x3d do not have nice overclock options this GEN ill go with Aorus ICE hell yeah .

[@RubenGugis]

There won't be much headroom to overclock that chip, just not worth it.

[@TotsNoTater]

So just to double-check as long as I use the right most nvme slot and the two bottom nvme slots I won't lose pcie expansion for my graphic card?

[@razmote38]

so a RTX3080 on PCIE 5.0 doesn't work ?

[@A2KMedia]

Works no problem. it is backwards compatible

[@Paul-if1jq]

Nice board, the new AMD chips are not really that much better than the last ones and they take less power... not sure why we need the new boards.

[@moonimmondal]

Give us more PCIe slots so we have the option to use aic instead, also why are we moving to 5 Gbe ethernet when there's barely any switches? Instead of having 5 m.2 slots on a motherboard, bundle the motherboard with an ASUS hyper m.2 expansion card like they did with previous chipset motherboards

[@---GOD---]

This isn't the only motherboard on the market. If it doesn't fit your needs then you can pick from the twenty other x870/x870e boards that will be available September 30th.

[@zaselimgamingvideos]

Man i really wanted this board but i guess i can't. What i want from the mobo is to run my gpu (4090) at full x16 lanes, at least 4x gen 4 m.2 ssds, at least 4xsata drives (hdds) or sata expansion card for my hdds. What x870e motherboard is capable of that? I will appreciate the help.

[@R6ex]

Are the ALC4080 audio issues solved already ..... ❓❓❓ ALC4082 on the HERO superior to this ❓❓❓

[@tionytim3333]

@A2K what if you install drive on the lower slot wired to the chipset, will it affect the top pcie 16x?

[@vkbeamng]

Great content 🎉

[@diyer1190]

if you put the board in case that GPU can't remove like that?

[@A2KMedia]

yep you can, its same process

[@asadshoro2088]

I didnt understand the “using either of the pcie gen 5 part will drop down the speed of gpu.” Can someone explain that? 😅

[@A2KMedia]

Hey, with most of these boards what happens is when you install additional M.2 drives to 2nd or 3rd gen 5 slots, it will reduce the main GPU PCIE lane count from 16 to 8. Unless you want to limit the GPU, I would use only main M.2 drive slot which does not affect the GPU and then bottom ones that connect via the chipset

[@bjarneb8966]

​@@A2KMediawhat do you mean by "the ones that connect via the chipset"?

[@A2KMedia]

M.2 drives can connect directly via cpu or via chipset which then connects to the cpu. It has a more limited bandwidth but for most uses is fast enough as most people don't run multiple ssds at the same time at full speed

[@bjarneb8966]

@@A2KMedia do you mean via the SATA connection?

[@laflame.-tv]

So 1 and 4?

[@RaeOneYT]

If i use SSD on m.2_1 and m.2_2 slots, will my Graphics card will run at x8 speed?

[@A2KMedia]

if you use only on main slot then x16 if you use main + 1 of the extras in the top side then x8. If you want to have it x16 + multiple nvme drives, then plug in to main M.2 slot then connect the other drives to bottom slots that connect via chipset.

[@RaeOneYT]

M.1 + m.4/m.5 - x16? M.1 + m.2 or m3 -x8?

[@A2KMedia]

yep. I recommend opening up the manual - it should be in their support page to check the diagram, it shows it pretty well :)

[@maiasabdalrahem6833]

No! A2k is erong and he keeps repeating the mistake

[@A2KMedia]

Hey. Thanks for your feedback. Can you kindly let me know which bit is wrong?

[@laggmonstret]

OK so 2 of those 3 Gen5 M.2 slots are basicly a waste of space and heatsink? Then pay extra for what exactly? Useless, NEXT!

[@laxnatullou]

This is from Crosshair X870E Hero tech specs: When M.2_2 and M.2_3 are enabled simultaneously, PCIEX16_2 will be disabled. When M.2_3 are enabled, PCIEX16_1 will run x8, and PCIEX16_2 will run x4, M.2_2 will be disabled. Maybe that applied same here too, maybe.. So at least we can still running 2 Gen5 M.2 in slot 1 and 2, no?

[@maiasabdalrahem6833]

@@laxnatullou yes

[@Ray88G]

Why amd is not allowing anyone to review these boards ?

[@allcarparebeautiful]

Because as usual everything has a official launch date and that is September the 30. 😏 hope this helps you out 👍🏻

[@haplopeart]

Ouch only two PCIe slots.

[@Chris-zf2xk]

ASUS makes the best looking boards on the market..period

[@maiasabdalrahem6833]

* M.2_2 & M.2_3 slots share bandwidth with PCIEX16(G5). When M.2_2 & M.2_3 are occupied with SSD devices, PCIEX16(G5) will run x8 only. u can use 2 gen 5 ssd while keeping the gpu running on x16 it is stated clearly on asus site and in the manual nobody pays 500$ to use only 1 gen 5 ssd u can use 2 put the ssds on m 1 and 2 dont use number 3 and dont use a second gpu

[@A2KMedia]

Hi, your message literally is contradicting yourself. The board had 3 Gen 5 M.2 Slots. M_2_1 connects direct to CPU, while M_2_2 and M_2_3 connect via a switch shared with main PCIE16 G5 Slot. This is not a motherboard limitation, this is limitation of the CPU. IT only has 20 PCIE Gen 5 lanes. 16 for the GPU and 4 for the main SSD. If you want to use additional 1 or 2 Gen 5 drives, then you have to sacrifice main PCIE slot lanes for it. Alternatively, using lower m.2 drives work via the chipset and will not affect main PCIE x16 slot. I recommend checking out the block diagram from ASUS, it makes it much easier to understand.

[@maiasabdalrahem6833]

@@A2KMedia THANK U FOR THE REPLY I SO THE LIMITATION IS FROM THE CPU AND NOT THE MOTHER BOARD IT NEED 4 LANES FOR THE PORTS , 4 LANES FOR ONE GEN 5 SSD and 16 LANES FOR THE GPU , DID I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY? it has 24 usable lanes i think

[@A2KMedia]

It is a bit complex and depends on the motherboard, but from the CPU side: The processor provides 28 PCIe 5.0 lanes, 4 of which are reserved for the chipset. Sixteen lanes can be allocated to either a single x16 PCIe slot or split into two x8 slots. This is where ASUS is using 8 lanes to provide 2x additional Gen 5 M.2 slots It also offers eight general-purpose lanes, with four reserved for a Gen 5 M.2 storage slot. The remaining four lanes can be used for Thunderbolt 4, USB4, or another M.2 slot, depending on the motherboard. I have not seen many motherboards that provide you two "primary" M.2 drives from the CPU as 99% users don't need super high speed drives beyond boot drive. Connecting those drives via chipset is more than enough for pretty much everyone.

[@maiasabdalrahem6833]

Thank u😊

[@JosephKarthic]

​@@A2KMediaHi, I ordered this motherboard yesterday along with 9800x3d, but after seeing so many comments that it shares bandwidth and msi boards dont do that, i regret it, should i return and get the msi one or is this better and ok?

But its Asus.

Then you install Armoury Crate and you realize you've been hosed! Asus was great a decade ago, now they are shit!
