Hmm question: instead of asking if I can use x470 with Ryzen 3 (having upgraded to Ryzen 2 from FX in Febuary), what Ryzen 3 Processors SHOULD I NOT RUN on x470?

[@lunchie80]

@@JonManProductions You can probably run any of them. Only limitation will be the boards VRM capacity for overclocking etc. so a 3700x will be perfectly fine, a 3950x may be limited with overclocking depending on your X470 VRM capacity. Still probably ok on air cooling anyway.

[@DaTube-po3ry]

I like to see entry level boards analyzed because that's what most people afford. It would be cool if you could design a score: (does it have a LED debug +1/-1, can it support 12 cores, 16 cores +1/+2, etc...). Basically scoring sheet that can make mobos comparable once they are reviewed.

[@TheVillainOfTheYear]

Agreed. I want to know: 1. Which chips will it support best 2. What issues will it have 3. What's my likely outcome with overclocking CPU, Memory, etc. 4. What important features are there present? Missing?

[@JimmyTheSaintDailyVideos]

Just buy a X470/B450 motherboard instead. If you dont need PCIE 4.0 (99% of people have no use for it now) then just get last generations board. Get a higher end board with the features you want and you are good to go for about the same price as an "entry level" x570 board. Keep in mind an entry level x570 board will be $175 or more and will skimp on features to meet the price. For that money you could get a good midrange/high end x470 motherboard and still have all the fancy features and a quality VRM for the new high core chips.

[@DaTube-po3ry]

@@JimmyTheSaintDailyVideos Yes I'd also be interested in X470 performance and if they can handle 12, 16 cores. Because I don't really need PCIE4 indeed.

Don't you know sub $200 boards are for us scrubs and poor people now just as $450 or $500 GPUs are mainstream now! This guy said so in his q&a video yesterday that the prices of AMD's navi cards are completely fine just as Nvidia's rtx cards are priced fine I guess.

[@NatrajChaturvedi]

​@@JimmyTheSaintDailyVideos genuine question. Will a decent B450 board be able to get the most out of zen2 8 core processors? No overclocking just stock performance (If I can OC sure but not required) I have the msi B450 carbon ac pro board running a ryzen 2700x and maybe not right away but after a year or two when prices drop enough, I would like to update to either the 3700x or 3800x on the same board. How about the 12 core part on a B450 board? is it going too far?

BIOS flashback is also useful to downgrade the BIOS or to resurrect the motherboard in case of unsuccessful BIOS flashing, which happened a lot with the latest BIOS for Crosshair VI boards.

[@M4tth2w]

this is a reason why i regret ordering this board and am now cancelling my purchase lol i'd rather have another asus with bios-flashback :')

[@rajakhan12346]

@@M4tth2w which motherboard?

[@vencibushy]

NTMFS4C024N's RDS(on) is 2.8 mohm at 25 deg C. At 80 deg C RDS(on) is around 3.6 mohm. That's called positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient. This can get you in a lot of troubles if you don't calculate the cooling solution properly.

[@SelfRepressed]

My advice which you asked for at the end of the video would be to invest more into the conclusion. Summarize the major features and inputs/outputs of the board, how well those are implemented, some comparison to other boards and making a value proposition for the board. Is it a good value vs its competitors? That sort of thing. Also an actual temperature measurement of the VRM's etc while the board is in operation would be VERY helpful. Perhaps testing some memory timings and making sure the thing boots alright if you can start getting your hands on some of these. I'm curious about how different the temps on this are vs the msi gaming edge wifi that Hardware Unboxed tested.

[@tld00]

Holy shit I love BZ. It's so informative and casual learning at the same time. Thanks Steve/BuildZoid!

[@mikerukwava9574]

The summery here goes like this: MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS is best for up to 12 core ryzen cpu. Since it's memory config is daisy chain, the ram max per modules works best at up to 8gb.

Irony is Buildzoid spending 2 full minutes talking about how unimportant it is that the drivers use ≤ 1 watt.

[@hoseiko8068]

The vrm heatsinks appear to have widely spaced fins, which means very little pressure is needed to push air through it. The exhaust fan behind it and the one above the other set should be enough to pass air through the heatsinks, making them very efficient.

[@CrazeFactor]

Damn the detail you've gone through is amazing. Amazing analysis 👍

[@reptilez13]

I am more interested in the sub200 ASrock and GB boards. They usually pack in other features outside of OC stuff that i like, and at a decent price. Hell, if this board is less than 200 bucks im honestly not to worried about the x570 chipset tax.

[@gertjanvandermeij4265]

People also talk about the heat on the VRM's and in a mid size atx case with 2 case fans (1 intake, 1 exhaust) and a Evo 212 Black Edition CPU cooler, they stay under 63C during intense gaming and heavy video editing and in the low 50's on idle!

@@michaelmacdonald329 Not sure why I didn't see your question until just now, but it's a great board. I'm running a ryzen 7 5800x which is a hot chip but the board stays fairly cool. I have great airflow and max vrm temps after gaming for hours is 59c. Without too much effort I managed to get stable 3733 ram speed at 1866 fclk with 4 x 8 gb hynix djr's, and could I get 1966 fclk but I didn't like the voltages (crappy ram) so I backed off. I'm running it daily at 3600 xmp though because I need this pc to last 20 years. This board has a bug (or is at an agesa bug?) where it won't boot for me with ram/fclk at 3800/1900 or 4000/2000 but it will at any other speed but that wasn't a huge issue since I know that's a thing.

Dear Gamers Nexus: After watching you VID about Mainboards for Intel draw way much more power then expected to gain computing power: Is this not the case for AMD mainboards/CPUs? Since I am a user with the highest demand on the hardware while gaming I ask myself the question if it would be wise to get a Mainboard/Cooler which can handel ~double the TDP of the bought chip without being too inefficient? And to be a little blunt: Have the X570 Mainboards anything else to offer then PCIe4.0? Till now it seems like "get a B450/X470 and you will be fine for any real world problems".

with osciloscope i measured the vrm frequency in the default configuration to be 500khz and i actually saw difference if i connect 1x8 pin or 1x8pin and 1x4pin. I run my 3600 at ccx0 4.05 and ccx 4.025 at 1.2v it's stable when i use only the 8 pin and 1.1875 when im using both 1x8 and 1x4. Small difference you will argue but is something like 3~4W less and 1.5 ~ 2C less. 2C less you will get if you lap the cpu or use liquid metal so well worth it in my book the decision to add another connector.

At first, I thought that thing top left was some break-out board for WiFi or something, lol. Great vid BZ and crews. B)

This guy makes LTT videos look casual. Whatever this guy recomends I'll follow in suit.

So does the increased cost of x570 motherboards negate the price to performance gains of Ryzen 3000 over most Coffee Lake processors? The better question would be, will ryzen 3000 run at full capacity on older am4 boards?

[@levinunezmarte6667]

It might, but there are X470, b450, X370 and b450 motherboard you can choose from.

[@Pyreing]

If you dont make use of pcie 4.0,you are wasting money for an x570.

[@seaghan6412]

You cant make use of pcie 4, high speed memory for it isnt consumer and its irrelevant for gpus (Atleast atm)

[@thetrashman5252]

The extreme cost of the 9900k and a high end Z390 board to accompany it pretty much negates this argument, although the $50-$100 might ruin the value proposition compared to other ryzen parts, especially those on x470/b450.

[@superscuba73]

The security flaws and needed mitigations negate the theoretical performance benefits of Coffee Lake over Zen 2. The only difference is X570 is the same quality/price as their Z390 counterparts.

[@GGONZ4L]

Awesome analysis as always from Buildzoid, hope you guys can do an analysis on ITX X570 motherboards, personally i would like to see one from the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX TB3, since im considering the change from an i5 8400 itx.

I came here to hear u say: Just buy it its amazing!!, and now I'm crying whit a existential crisis.. very good video btw

Is your issue solved?

I bought this board, I have 4 x 8gb sticks of trident z and the xmp profile worked just fine

[@blakedmc1989RaveHD]

i had to get a Bios update for tha board to be stable on XMP for me

[@523motorsports]

Soooooooo.... is this a good one to get? Ryzen 5 3600. Mild over clocking for gaming.

[@delof_]

yes

[@edplat2367]

What about if your BIOS gets corrupted or unsigned BIOSes for modding purposes. I think the BIOS flashback is a great addition.

[@synthlord9544]

i've been using this motherboard since May.

[@SnipingMachines]

Stay active and post more content. It takes time but its def worth it.

[@GamersNexus]

We post a video per day...

[@dionamuh]

It's all well and good that 2x8GB works the best for overclocking, everyone always says that. But 16GB just of total RAM just isn't a lot anymore these days. Maybe it's still fine for gaming, but for other workloads you need more. I am much more interested in how 2x16GB performs than 2x8GB. And 4x8GB makes far less sense I think, because a) 4 modules can lead to more issues, and b) you have no more room left to upgrade in the future.

[@luisangelini2220]

I just bought 32gb 3200mhz cl16 (2x16) for my future 3900x. I do work with my PC and I just play a game casually.

[@Trifler500]

I saw your older video about using the MSI M.2 "heat shield" but this motherboard comes with a completely different design. I was hoping you would cover it in this video. Since you didn't, do you think it's worth using?

[@franchellevanheerden]

MSI X570-A PRO vs MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS ?

[@Blackthyrst]

Please review the MSI X570 Edge Wifi

[@nindajuka8427]

Finally, i wait for this one!

[@jimg.9198]

I'm going to put the 3950X 16-core in my B350 board. Think the VRM can handle it? lol.

[@MrSlashStudios]

I have an MSI B350 PC MATE and the VRMs are already at their limits with my ryzen 5 1600 @1.44V. I doubt any B350 boards could handle high core ryzen 3000 CPUs well.

[@therocinante3443]

As usual, very informative yet intensely agitating.

[@glamdring0007]

This board runs my 2700x with xfr and pbo on without the vrm heatsinks even getting hot while gaming...they get warm when I hammer the board with 100% cpu load for hours on end running SETI but have not gone over 80c even then. It also runs my cpu slightly faster on a 24/7 SETI load than my x470 board did...4ghz all core vs 3.9ghz

[@jeffie8696]

I paid $35 for an AB350 Pro4 from MicroCenter with an R5 1600 for $79.99 LOL now thats a cheap combo baby !!

[@JimmyTheSaintDailyVideos]

Yeah Microcenter has the best mobo/CPU combo deals. I just wish I didnt have to drive 3 hours one way to my closest Microcenter.

[@LassiVVV]

Awesome videos big thanks allready. Can we check sub 200dollars Asus board too?

[@samfisher1890]

Is this a good board for a ryzen 9 3900x?
