I wonder how the Asus Pro art series would have ended in this list. They are theorically better than anything that isnt Rog Strix, for cheaper than those. All in all they are still overpriced cause of the brand purely, but it'd be cool to know where you would have put it in the list. (its supposedly for designers yet I find it hard to find what makes it better for such)

Hello, I'm from Brazil and I ended up "parachuting" onto your channel! What insane quality, you delve into technical data, connectivity, etc. For example, I'm building a new PC but I was finding it difficult to find motherboards with optical output, due to my headset... and this video cleared all my doubts and Plus I learned a lot! Congratulations on the channel! Hugs

[@DesFTW_]

Asrock haa clearly put in effort to become one of the best board makers, especially for value. Some people who have been in the space for a while may still hold negative opinions of them due to how it was around 2016 and earlier, but as of now they seem to have massively improved.

[@ScatterVolt]

I agree, they're better,

[@bluewolf7111]

Specially for the price.. I would get an Asus mother board, but depending where you are from, its from 20 to even 100 bucks more for the exact same specs. At that point even if Asus is more reliable you are overpaying way too much for reliability.

As a ASRock Steel Legend WiFi B650E owner, I approve this message. It really is a fantastic board and I have absolutely ZERO reasons to upgrade to an X870E motherboard.

[@1godzuki]

asrock is the only brand out of all these that was created specifically to manufacture motherboards. this means that if there are issues with their bios or software they're more likely to fix it quickly than brands like gigabyte that sell all kinds of products (I know asrock sells other products now too but they started as a motherboard company). i've seen so many people having issues with motherboards on reddit and asrock just seemed to be the most reliable brand on the software and stability side from what i learned

[@hooroos0027]

I am pretty sure that each company has their own divisions, not one group of people managing everything, but yes, asrock is a good brand.

[@1godzuki]

@@hooroos0027 you would be surprised by how long it takes some of the other companies like gigabyte to roll out important fixes. asrock definitively seemed like they take care of this sort of issues quicker

[@_narcissist]

@@hooroos0027​​⁠you have no idea what you’re talking about. it’s much harder to maintain quality control if a single brand manufactures many different products, even if they have different divisions. just look at SK Hynix, they recently started a separate company (Klevv) with the specific goal to keep high quality control for their RAM. you simply couldn’t have been more wrong buddy

[@ardeof]

I think their graph chart showing thermals wasn't quite what it should've shown. It should've been like... here's performance top-down, and then in red the temperatures. Since some boards performed mostly fine even when ridiculously hot. Idk about this tier list video, I think without knowing performance difference a tier list isn't to be taken seriously. You can't trust a board on features alone.

I agree with you about the AliExpress motherboards because, in addition to my main PC that uses an ASRock X570 Pro4, I have a secondary PC that uses a Soyo B550M Monarch Dragon and a video editing PC that uses a Soyo B450M Classic. They work just fine.

@@Kkkkkk13456 Yeah, it's a pretty good board but the Soyo B550 Monarch Dragon costs less than $100CAD which makes it the better buy. I actually bought that exact same board from Canada Computers for $120CAD but then I saw the Soyo B450M Classic was $65CAD, I returned the B450M D3SH and bought TWO Soyo B450M Classics for about the same price. They work just fine and I actually used one in a build for my uncle.

[@paranikumarlpk]

Asrock b650m hdv/m.2 definitely A tier for its price/performance . It can even handle RAM tweaking/OCs just fine like those high priced mobos bcoz of dual channel memory layout. Im running 2x16gb ddr5 6000 cl30 kingston kit at 6400mts @cl 30 vsoc 1.295v . In my region i picked it up for 118$ few weeks back XD And reg the VRMs, the Asrock b650m hdv/m.2 has DrMosfets that are way efficient than those discrete mosfets. The msi pro b650s wifi has 12+2 power phase are not DrMosfets . Those are Doubled discrete mosfets which are not good compared to those DrMosfets that i mentioned earlier. Even the Msi b650 pro m-a has 55A power stages like Asrock b650m hdv/m.2 (50A). so ya MSI b650pro m-a goes a tier above the pro b650 m-s. Asrock b650 live mixer S tier for its price/features only drawback is its availability worldwide so the Asrock b6560m pg riptide is definitely A+ tier along with b650 pg lightning So Asrock b650m hdv/m.2 is A tier (extra point bcoz of amazing memory performance) Gigabyte b650 aorus series recent revisions has been reduced their pcb layers from 8 to 6 and low loss to mid loss pcbs . So ya they are not good as asrock series boards. Earlier revisions ya A+ tier but later revisions B+ tier .Msi b650 project zero has 10+2 DrMosfets unlike b650m gaming plus fake 10+2 discrete mosfets. They are not even close . its definitely B+ tier bcoz of its price Gigabyte b650 gaming x has 8+2 Dr mosfets it's B tier (bcoz of its Price) Again gigabyte b650 eagle ax and msi b650m -p wifi has descrete mosfets (B tier bcoz of features) Msi b650m pro -a is B tier Msi b650 pro -s is C tier

[@Badbab1]

in Belgium, the Asrock b650m hdv/m.2 cost 127 euros or 140 usd, but i'm So going for this one. Here, the prices of equivalent motherboards is around 150 euros or more... So this video and your comment are very helpful, thanks !

This came in at the perfect time. Just last night I was going through motherboards & eventually drove myself crazy! I want an ATX motherboard that has modern PCIe gen 4 or 5 (not sure how much of a difference it'll make), same with NVMe slots, works out of the box and doesn't break the bank. There's so many that I eventually gave up trying. And do people still care about having 2 x separate NVMe drives, 1 for OS & 1 for games? I thought I had it figured out, but then I kept finding new info, like certain NVMe's have their own cache & people prefer those for OS. So I gave up. Glad this video can finally help clear things up!

[@artursdrevinskis9339]

Can anyone enlighten me on the differences between onboard audio chipsets? I know that the ALC897 is not that good, but it comes on most Asrock motherboards and as far as i know 1200+ are good, but what are the differences and how noticeable?

[@sandornyemcsok4168]

It depends what audio device you use. First and foremost, the on-board audio only matters if you plug into the small jack connector, either on the back or front panel. Which can be speakers or analog headsets. But for speakers above 5W the on-board amplifier won't be enough, you are better to buy a dedicated (preferably external) sound card/DAC. So if you really want good audio on good speakers, do not bother about the integrated chip, buy an external DAC. It is a one-time investment that can serve you in the future builds as well, you can carry it from one system to the next one.

Should I Buy the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite Ax ice for 179 bucks of the Asrock B650 Steel Legend Wifi for 10 Bucks more?

[@ScatterVolt]

Which one ranked higher in the tier list?

[@Frog3k1]

@@ScatterVolt The Asrock But the Gigabyte was More expensive than 179$

[@AL_McLoud]

New to all of this, so pardon my ignorance. Regarding Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX, the title on NewEgg shows PCIe 5.0 but the description and also as mentioned here shows 4.0 So which one it is? Also, Amazon shows 5.0

[@SnipingTyler]

i want to build my own pc. I was wondering if the GIGABYTE B650 AORUS Elite AX V2 is good for gaming.

[@Dphuc1]

what motherboard should I use for i5 12400f and rx6700xt, And do you recommend other cpu. Thanks a lot

[@trainsplanesmore]

The Asrock B650E Taichi Lite link pulls up the ASRock B650 Pro RS WiFi AM5 AMD B650 SATA 6Gb/s ATX Motherboard. Is this a different motherboard? I tried to pull the Taichi up on Amazon and there are no sellers for it.

[@RustBuilder2044]

Would you recommend me buying the B650 tomahawk or the ASRock B650E PG RIPTIDE

[@ScatterVolt]

The one that I ranked higher in the video

[@RustBuilder2044]

That’s the thing you have them both rated A tier so I guess which ever?

[@ScatterVolt]

The one that is ranked higher lol. Which one is ranked at the top of its tier? Actually watch the segments of each of those motherboards and see why they ended up in certain spots within their tiers and you’ll see why.

[@RustBuilder2044]

@@ScatterVoltI’m sorry for annoying you I’ll just try to figure it all out

[@RustBuilder2044]

[@Seb22128]

so... b650 msi tomahawk or aorus elite v2?

[@CrazyCranker]

Awesome effort in putting together this tier list! One thing to note that may affect one's decision is the M.2 lane sharing with the PCI-E X16 slot?

[@jasonOfTheHills]

"You're welcome" - that was the most effective "please click the like button" I have ever come across. And now a 7+ word comment and sub as well. I appreciate the non-hard sell lol.

[@ScatterVolt]

Haha

[@skilz9525]

How about MSI B650M gaming wifi ? not the plus one?

[@dblk5672]

I LOVE these lists! Only request is that you try to do a little bit more ITX parts because it's really a growing segment and a lot of us are having a lot of issues finding info on ITX builds. Nice job!

[@SqulixyCr]

Would you rather have a b650 or an x670 motherboard. thinking about getting a Ryzen 7 770x and 7200 mhz ram

[@steventruong85]

I’m about to upgrade to the 7800x3d pretty soon. What board would you personally recommend to pair with it? Strictly gaming & nothing else.

Good report, well, how did AMD 'x' boards at the $175 to $240 price through Vermeer become b boards at R7K / R9K? mb

[@arifkishi2218]

ASUS PRIME B650M-AYW WIFI DDR5... So this one also no good right?

[@Mike-Dynamike]

the exact video i needed to put my new 7700xt on:) thank you sir!

[@_Victor_1524]

Hey scattervolt, which cpu would you recommend me getting for my Rx7800xt, now that the 7800x3d is overpriced? I was looking into the 7500f, but just wondering if that's still a good buy, or if i should rather wait for a new cpu release from amd ?

[@BigCyKOFTW]

I really want the steel series b650e, but i cant find it in stock (thats not marked up). Should i get the X870 instead? Or is there a better recommended MOBO replacement?

[@nishidrai7951]

Between the MSI B650 GAMING PLUS Wifi vs Gigabyte EAGLE AX or GIGABYTE gaming X Ax or the V2 which one do you recommend?? With upgradeability in mind. Also they are similarly priced in my place with just 15 dollars separating them

[@ScatterVolt]

The one that I ranked higher in the video

[@nishidrai7951]

@ScatterVolt thank you for taking the time to reply back. Your channel helped me a lot in learning bout PC's in general. And also my build. Thank you brother. My build is 7600x with MSI gaming wifi board with 2tb SSD, 32 gig 6000mts cl 30 ram along with 7800xt with a montec XR case and a cooler master ak620 digital pro with pwms top and bottom.

Where is de the Gigabyte B650 AORUS PRO AX ???

[@AmexL]

I love your tier ranking videos with this one being my favorite (so far). Please more.

[@StarChild.no1]

When considering the power phase design of the motherboards, is the cpu Thermal Design Power taken into account? Because some CPU TDPs and even some Pro GPUs Total Board Power, comes with low power draw. I’m looking at Micro Center’s AMD 9700x (TDP 65W) bundle that comes with the Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX II. And I want to pair that with the AMD Radeon Pro W7500 that has 80w TBP, for mostly Solid Works product and industrial design (Enthusiasts) and Photoshop type digital painting. So you think that I should consider the Gaming X AX II to still be an inadequate D lister for my needs based on my parts selection and work requirements? Thanks..

[@dgreen8388]

I've been using the Gaming X AX V2 for almost a year now with a Ryzen 7800x3d and a EVGA 3080 FTW3. I bought the MicroCenter bundle. I had zero issues installing and setting up my PC and I've had zero issues with reliability. It's a good motherboard and deserves higher than D.

[@DamnGamesTV]

video like this is really really handy for us !! thank you guys !! hoping more video like this one with diffrent hardware sir...

what other hardware would you like to see ranked?

[@DamnGamesTV]

@@ScatterVolt maybe H series motherboard for intel ? or B perhaps ?

[@DrDoinks]

Got my b650 Aorus elite AX for $90. At Microcenter in may of 2023. Everyone was panicking about the 7000 ryzens frying the motherboard because of the excessive SOC voltages. Mass returned b650 motherboards and Microcenter had so many that they pushed the price down to get rid of them. The thing was basically brand new and was like $230 at the time, got some decent 32GB ram for only $50 open box as well. Very happy with the upgrade and no issues whatsoever
