[@lrmcatspaw1]

I love how Buildzoid has to basically add a disclaimer to his viewpoints about motherboards for the Normies :D. Not complaining, Im one of those Normies.

[@thegamerboy1000]

I’m glad he does

[@JoeCensored]

Back in the day I had lots of motherboard fan failures. I've sworn off any motherboard with its own fan ever since. I used to own a computer store, and worked at several others, so not just talking about my own machines. So this is actually the only way I'd go for an X570 board.

[@erikhendrickson59]

And they tend to be "proprietary" type fans so the only way to get a replacement is to order one from the mainboard vendor -- and that shit will take WEEKS to arrive. If one of my motherboard fans died back in the day I would just ziptie a case fan to it and be done but nobody should have to do that for a product they paid for.

[@dunxy]

One on my x570 pro wifi never turns on except during post,even on its most agressive curve, dont see it wearing out anytime soon, even if it just failed without wearing out i doubt it would be an issue. Airflows is not much of an issue with the 9 3k noctuas, might have something to do with it never needing to run!

[@johndoh5182]

This hasn't been an issue for X570 boards. For one they don't JUST run, the chipset needs to be hot enough to warrant it so you have to be pushing a bit of data across the link for it to start running. So, I've seen people complaining about the fans existing, but a rare comment about a fan actually failing. Even gaming with an NVMe connected via the chipset, I don't have any issues and the fan is only going some of the time, mostly load times. Not a big deal. And these fans are much better than "back in the day". I also had a couple systems with chipset fans, never had one go bad. But I also didn't OC the link between the CPU and chipset.

[@samvega827]

My favorite thing about your channel is its literally just for you to go over tech they way you wanna cover it, idk what it is this year but if I'm not listening to comics its someone going over tech so a dummy like me can understand it which I'm very thankful for.

[@evilgeek87]

The block diagrams are likely separating things by iommu groups, so on the master the 2x m2 slots aren't sharing lanes, they may be grouped together in a single iommu group making it less useful for virtualization and hardware passthrough

[@Aviduduskar]

This, I have yet to see someone post groups but it looks like USB got the same treatment.

[@Tallnerdyguy]

Dear Zotac: how can i build a 16 phase garbage vrm? Zotac: riiiiiiiight here.

[@tomstech4390]

Wish we just had 32 lanes, 2x X16 like the old days (more bandwidth obviously). X16 gpu + X16 Quad M.2 takes up allot less space than plastering drives all over a full size motherboard. Even ITX boards often have 2 slots, A 3x bigger board just for 1 extra chewing gum sided SSD is dumb.

[@fleurdewin7958]

That is where U.2 interface should come in. There is just limited amount of space you can stick M.2 drives on the board. I do agree with you on the need of more PCI-e lanes. Unfortunately, neither AMD nor Intel want to step up. Intel merely reached parity with AMD with 20 PCI-e lanes on the CPU on Rocket Lake platform.

[@tomstech4390]

@@fleurdewin7958 keep forgetting about u.2. We have sata express, we have powered esata, sata group needs to get their finger out and give us powered sata express. Plug in your ssd with a sata cable and it gets power and a pcie x1 lane which at pcie4 is still nearly 2GB/s. That way people can choose between storage and graphics. I think well see pcie expand again when they run out of adding more cores. 990fx had 32 through the chipset which is now the io die. 3930k used to have 40 direct to cpu. There's no reason for 5950x to only have 20+4.

[@johndoh5182]

So not on this list because it probably came later, the Gigabyte X570S Aorus Elite which is a less costly board, and Gigabyte made this board like an expensive X570 board even though it's not. So for one, Gigabyte added USB3.2 gen2x2 to I think all these boards and I think they all have at least 3 NVMe ports which used to be the domain of expensive X570 boards so all in all THANK YOU Gigabyte. Throw a 5800X3D on an Auros Elite and you have an excellent gaming system.

[@thebigcat8312]

I picked up a Gigabyte X570S UD at CCL (UK) for £134 , put my old AMD 3900XT in it and bought 16gb Kingston beast DDR4 3600 for £40. Popped in 2 x 500Gb NVME and now have a great 2nd/backup/media/office PC . Very happy for the price .

[@P4NCH1]

Amount of SATA and M.2 are my main look for, so yeah X570 all the time. Depend on the mobo B450/550 diactivates some to a lot of SATA ports so I'm looking foward to this X570S mobos. I hate the noise my TUF X570 started to make after a year and a half of use with time to time cleaning.

[@rallyscoot]

How much sata do you need.. If you getting 4 full, then its already plenty for me.. X570S is way to expensive.. Got my self a B550 master board. The only sata ports goes disable are actually non.. Only if you going to use sata 3 port 4 a 5 , the last PCI-e 3.0 x4 slot will to down on X2.. But i will never going over 4 sata drives in my build. And the board can also provide 3x M.2 PCI-e 4.0 4x bandwith.. 1 from the cpu. and last two takes Pci-e 4.0 8x lanes from the highest PCI 4.0 x16 slot.. (for the 4 a 6 years iam using this board, never going needed more then 4.0 x8 bandwith for the graphics card. And them at least going to wait for DDR6 / PCI-e 6.0

[@P4NCH1]

​@@rallyscoot At the moment in my NZXT H440 I have one 500GB SSD NVMe for the OS, one 1TB SSD NVMe for soft and Steam library, one 480GB SSD SATA for the "testing and breaking" OS and 5 HDD SATA (14TB) for my family Plex and NAS servers. I really do tend use all my storage abailable ports TUF X570 has 2 M.2 and 8 SATA ports that can be used simultaneously (was using all ports before I got a 6TB to make some space removing 3 smaller drives).

[@noxious89123]

I own a Dark Hero, and as far as I can see, the Dynamic OC switcher has been made somewhat redundant by the introduction of Curve Optimiser, as C.O. is a "better" way to overclock. Also, Asus made an abysmal effort with the Dark Hero's manual; it's non existant. It doesn't even mentioned the Dynamic OC Switcher feature. You're basically left having to find and use the C8H WiFi manual.

[@therealnmg]

Hey Gigabyte how many USB's do you have Gigabyte: Yes.

[@TheRyanshift]

30:13 The old UD had only one M.2 slot whereas the new UD has 3 btw

[@TimRho]

You never fail me!! Was waiting for this video!

[@gscurd75]

On the master, you can use either the sata or the M.2 in one of the slots. For the other slot you can use either the m.2 or the bottom pcie slot. So if you plan on using all 4 m.2 slots then don't plan on using the sata connections or the bottom pcie slot.

[@puokki6225]

Not having troubleshooting LEDs on a flagship chipset board, which is not going to be cheap either, is a shocking cheapout to me. I don't even see those as an overclocking feature, I've needed them so many times diagnosing problems at stock settings that I'd hesitate to use a board without them in a Grandma's Facebook Machine build, let alone anything that would justify X570.

[@TheSlickmicks]

Which one is the flagship? I'd think it would be the Master and doesn't that have a debug led?

[@whispermusician3877]

Thank you for the video. Now a bit of offtopic, is Asus Crosshair VIII X570 Impact, the 2 dimm board still a thing for memory OC nowadays?

[@tomstech4390]

How did the board makers get into saying stages in phases? Asus used cheaper controllers so marketing replaced "phase" with "stage" and hoped noobs wouldn't know the difference. Nobody called them on it (not enough). So "18 stage vrm!" using an ASP1106 and triple SiC639's per phase is the future as everyones joining the bandwagon. It works but just as people can look purely at phasecount and buy trash its so easy for people to be misled, neither should be overly praised.

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

nah the fake phases started before even X58. It's been around for a very very long time and IDK who started it.

[@LastRightsTV]

The X570 Aorus master 1.2 is a TERRIBLE board for the 5000 series for single core. I have never in my life had so many issues with BIOS/Performance. Keeping my 5950x below 68c in R23 multicore the chip and it scored great in multi, but single core wouldn't boost properly despite the lower temps. 5900x seems to be a mess on this board as well. The chip has single core boost issues even at low temps for both. MSI MEG works PERFECTLY with 5000 series. 5+GHZ boosts out of box. Amazing boost clocks in games 4.9ghz + on cores while gaming with some simple tuning to PBO.

[@towatchvids]

Not only does the b550 version come with the postcode it also has Thunderbolt on board, so you lose those, in order gain one extra ssd at full speed if you sacrifice your sata ports. Not really an upgrade. Aero has the OC tuner but yeah not postcode so are you really going to do enough OC to make use of it?

[@buxtech]

@@towatchvids I guess it’s a trade off. If you plan on using more Nvme and filling the slots, it likely means you’re using less sata drives. I plan on filling all of the nvme slots with no sata drives myself, so I doubt I’ll ever miss that. I do think it sucks the post code is gone, but to be really honest, if you’re throwing PBO and XMP on and going about your day, the post code is just a visual distraction. If you want post codes and care about extreme memory OC and having dual bios there are other boards better suited than the aero.

[@mainly_dyutish9]

@@jammetortiz808 yeah that's super strange but in amd does it matters and being a creator board does it matters but as an upgrade that sucks off not having it!

[@mattevans1643]

I just want to say swapping to these boards was the hardest thing ever. I've sent the same drive through x570-b450-b550 and no problems at all. But going to X570S was a huge issue. The board didn't come with any drivers installed. And just getting windows to install was a headache. I didn't want to deal with it at the time, but a few days later it's running just fine. I don't know if that's just a Gigabyte issue, but i've never gotten a mobo that was missing drivers. I'd expect newer drivers to be missing, but it was missing drivers older than release date.

[@jesse7631]

I had the B550, but it only has 4 SATA ports and I have 5 SATA devices. So I returned the B550 and got the X570S, since it was on sale at Newegg.

And as a total recomendation from your experience which am4 motherboard that can achive hieghest stable infinity fabric?? Isit evga dark or msi unify x or asus dark hero or what??

Imho, the most successful board design and distribution of PCI-e lines on the Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite. There is no unnecessary second slot for the video card, in which you can't even put the M2 controller or something else, otherwise the PCI-e16x speed will be cut for the video card. Nonsense. Why unsolder connectors that 99% will not be used.

On the X570 Aorus Extreme, Ryzen 3000-series (Matisse) supports higher memory speed than 5000-series (Vermeer)? That's weird.

[@flynlr]

they dropped a lan port on the new master as well.

[@Raivo_K]

Master S also lacks Dual-BIOS, BIOS switches. There are no pictures of the backside but specs do not show a backplate like the orifginal. Biggest upgrades are better phases, 2 more USB ports and one extra M.2 port. But in my opinion this does not make up for downsides.

Hmmm. Might add a 2nd M.2 SSD to my new PC, but I haven't bought the board yet. Now I'm on the fence of whether I should go X570 or B550.

[@parawm4585]

Is there any chance at all due to perhaps better chipset silicon, board layout or manufacturing improvements, for more consistent FCLK2000 with Zen3 on these X570S boards? As in, improvement over the 1900 that many are capped at at the moment. I have had 5 Zen3 CPU's now on my X570 (Tomahawk) and all cap at 1900 for 1:1 WHEA free. None at 1866 or 1933, all at 1900. Motherboard must at least play a role. Many agesa's later, still all the same. Could X570S give improvements?

[@AB-bu8ti]

Thank you! Do you think my x570 vrm and chipset block will fit these boards? Could you do an x570s master teardown?

[@GuernB2]

Can you touch more on BCLK OC on B550 in a future video? I was unaware that this was even an option, as I have an x570 Strix E that fails to post at 100.5. Also all precision boost completely stops working when bclk is changed from auto and the cpu goes into a fixed oc mode.

[@BERSERKERDEMON1]

Hi. I m looking for someone with a bit of knowledge. Can you tell me how many real phases the Asrock X570s riptide has? Do you think it is enough to run a 5950x or will it die prematurely? Other (might sound stupid) question: I saw that seasonic released some fanless power supplies (the highest potential available in my country is like 700watts for those). Would a regular PSU (with a fan) of 1000 watts work without burning if I simply remove its fan and limit its power draw (like making a PC with 700 watts total power draw to not reach the 1000 watts treshold) The power supply i have is a "silencer mk2 silver 950 watts" from OCZ) I m willing to make a Pc as silent as possible... thx if you can reply.

[@drewhinners8793]

If the "S" in X570S is just for fanless and the new chipset has no other features, does that mean that the USB issues are still intact that AMD was trying to patch out without success?

[@TheGroundedCoffee]

What USB issues?

[@ruhbartlaschh9962]

actually the 570S is EXACTLY (same silicon, same node) the same chipsaet as the non S Version. The energysavings are soley done by new firmware/bios that increases efficiency = all non 570 boards will benefit too when bioses are rolled out. The S is only for distuingishinh the models with and without fan

[@blunden2]

Many of us don't have USB issues so some of them might be due to system instability or device bugs, not necessarily AGESA issues. I hope the issue gets solved for everyone though. 🙂

Been eyeing the new Master just because i already have 3 NVMe SSDs, and if i ever needed i could have 4 on the board and 2 extra on a riser. The only downside i see is that all new boards lack SLI, but on today's market, you'd be lucky to have one GPU. GB have been riding on the IR3553 for so long i thought they still had a couple more warehouses full of them... never thought i'd see the day they'd run out.

[@Galf506]

Uh, SLI doesn't exist anymore, that's why boards don't support it.

[@Raivo_K]

The lack of SLI is hardly the biggest downside on the Master S. It also lacks Dual-BIOS, BIOS switches and does away with Dual-Ethernet. There are no pictures of the backside but specs do not show a backplate like the orifginal. Biggest upgrades are better phases, 2 more USB ports and one extra M.2 port.

Why i didnt going for x570(S) because B550 is released later, so its newer on that point. X570S isnt worth the price premium they asking now in compared to the older X570 boards. They really love the ask 60 - 150 euros more then the older ones. Which is insane. It doesnt have much to offer over the older gen.

[@williamregal8503]

i only hear my x570 unifiy fan on boot after that it doesn't even run 970 evo plus doesn't get hot enough for the fan to kick in

[@vikingcat794]

would it have killed them to provide a second nic.

[@THE_SMOKE_SHOW_]

Asus claims their B550 ROG Strix E gaming MoBos are PCIe gen 4 ready with a Ryzen ZEN 3 Processor?!

[@notdizzykgill]

Does he have any videos about preferable ITX boards for the 5590x?

[@erkinalp]

ROG Crosshair Impact (Mini DTX)? And the processor is called 5950X, not 5590X :)

[@SimplyLewin]

Dark Hero is the OG X570S

[@asterisk4424]

So I usually like the vision motherboards from gigabyte but the Aero G is kinda disappointing. No clear cmos button whatsoever and they didn't put the bios button on the back. I don't care for sli but at the price this is going to go for the old X570 master has it. No post code, no dual ethernet, no dual bios switches, no thunderbolt. Just get the old or new x570 master imo.

S for "silent"?

[@vortraz2054]

3:00 Dude doesnt B550 supporting Pcie 4 at all mean that its successfully running and supporting Pcie 4 through the North Bridge? Which is part of the Chipset. Just because it doesnt have the lanes or perhaps its specifically lacking Pcie 4 via the South Bridge thats the difference but like. The B550 "Chipset" still supports Pcie 4. Seems like kind of a no no to say B550 "Chipset" doesnt support Pcie 4 when it does just not as fully.

[@vortraz2054]

16:00 Now I understand I didnt realize the one M.2 on a B550 board was routed directly to the Cpu and not the Northbridge.

[@blunden2]

X570 is the only PCI-E 4.0 chipset for consumer boards at this point in time. B550 and Intel's current boards only do PCI-E 4.0 for the lanes connected directly to the CPU. Besides that, they are PCI-E 3.0.

[@vortraz2054]

@@blunden2 Oh Im aware. It slipped my mind that the first of the lanes were connected to the Cpu and not the northbridge. and I feel pretty Space cadet about it. I knew B550 only had what like 20x lanes for it? It supports a Gpu and one M.2? But for some reason the block diagram in my head routed that shit through the northbridge like a friggin game of telephone

[@zabique]

Did you know there is only 1! ryzen motherboard (MSI x570 meg godlike) which is now EOL that can support 2x 3090 in 4 slot configuration.

SLI is also EOL lol.

I wish gigabyte would at least add debug leds to lower end boards

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

they do have the basic for 4 LED indicators for what's probably wrong.

Funny how scheme can mean two things.

[@stkrrauch1]

no post code is a deal breaker / the aero looks great then you find out it has no post code so its just a nice looking paper weight /what a stupid move to not have a post code

[@nathangamble125]

The Aero G supports 4-way crossfire? How? It only has 3 PCIe slots.

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

dual core GPUs

[@winnieid2727]

APU ? (Integrated gpu)

[@Zarcondeegrissom]

ok, though I had seen an ad for one of them boards only to have doubts that it was an old x470 gaming 7 board with "REAL HEATSINKS!"(tm) on the VRM. maybe I wasn't hallucinating about there being no chipset fan on x570, lol. now, can I get a copper version of what Gigabyte put on the master, hmmm. would be nice to have an actual pin-fin heatsink instead of that sticker wanna-be on the Aero, however, I'm sure I can mod something from Aavid/Boyd thermal solutions. no rush, prices have gone dumb stupid and I will NEVER pay 600usd for a 240usd motherboard, so no rush, maybe in a few months if not next year. that fan for the less than 30-watt chip was a hard pass for me. it's inefficient and bad design. the under-powered x370 board is doing well enough.

[@fcfdroid]

Good sheet 😎

[@mckayver1306]

Buildzoid, you forgot the master S doesn't have bios switches.

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

yeah cuz it doesn't have dual BIOS anymore

[@sam__240]

How come you don't use m.2 ssds?

[@cali_cal]

he oc and sometimes causes issue with m.2 but no ssd

[@__--JY-Moe--__]

the main thing I look 4 is ssd controller, ram controller, pci controller. audio controller, i/o controller, any other controller's!! plus input's 2 the MB chipset. and the lanes going in2 the CPU! I use MSI..msi used several direct inputs 2 the CPU!! & anything going from a controller chip, 2 chipset..then 2 CPU will have a serious ''latency''!! so.. I'm a fan of ''NO'' damn controller chips!!good luck!!

[@__--JY-Moe--__]

a big note about this ''I hate OC X570!!'' drop U'r P18 CPU voltage 200-400mV. then try OC the X570!!

[@AntoineFinch]

THE X470 GAMING X MOTHERBOARD LOOKS A LOT BETTER THAN THE X570S GAMING X!
