I've been building computers for 23 year and recently I built a 13th gen system with a z790 motherboard and I had to spend $500 to get the board with the features I was looking for. Never in 23 years has a mobo been that expensive to get a decent feature set. I'm baffled the direction we are going.

[@VanSanProductions]

makes sense. the cost of all the components that are on the board are expensive too + they are packaginng it all together too. It seems a bit over priced because it literally has no processing power on board, but it does enable to you to get the most out of the chips you put on it. Because CPU's and GPU's are so much more capable today the motherboard also has to keep up too so all the components are just more expensive.

[@JJFX-]

@@VanSanProductions It's not just about component cost. Sure, that's obviously a factor but companies like MSI and ASUS are charging these prices because they can. It's really that simple.

[@Aturixios]

*I'M BLIND! MY PRAYERS HAVE FINALLY BEEN ANSWERED!*

[@nihren2406]

The thing that always gets me about these boards is that there's a trade-off the more M.2 or PCIe slots you use. That Gen5 PCIe card will make the first x16 slot run at x8. Now Gen5 x8 is pretty much Gen4 x16, so it won't hurt current rigs, but if Gen5 GPU's start hitting the market, even if they're not fully utilizing that speed, it might be a concern for some. And sometimes using specific M.2 slots has the same effect, either turning the first x16 into a x8 or shutting off the second PCIe slot entirely. As for that GenZ.2, if I recall one side is Gen5 the other side is Gen4, so if you can't run both a Gen5 and Gen4 at full speeds, kind of feels pointless to do that.

[@ThePopeofPoland1]

Since pci-e Gen 7 just launched this year I feel they might skip Gen 5 gpus and go to gen 6 since the next gen of cards is still 2+ years away with the current overstock of chips that amd and nvidia have because of their bloated orders tsmc won't allow them to cancel.

[@pedro4205]

Actually, it would affect less if the GPU was PCIe 5.0. Even if the slot is capable of PCIe 5.0 x8 it will run at 4.0 x8 when you put a Gen 4 GPU in it.

[@Prophetian]

Yeah that's why I'm sticking to AM4 version of this MB. Can't we have 3-5 M.2 SSDs without turning the primary x16 pcie slot into x8? Probably not possible with the available lanes but hopefully in the near future with 8000 or 9000 CPUs that would require a 1600w PSU or a small nuclear reactor.

[@spankeyfish]

Funnily enough you don't have to make this compromise with the cheaper boards. The Asus TUF Gaming X670E-plus (about £350) has 20 pcie 5.0 lanes and splits them between the first pcie x16 slot and a single m.2 slot (which is x4) with everything else running at pcie 4.0 or 3.0. The only compromise you have to make with that one is running the pcie 3.0 m.2 slot at x2 instead of x4 if you want to use the SATA ports.

[@nihren2406]

@spankeyfish sadly for me, for my new build I'm transplanting my existing three drives which is one Gen3 M.2, and two SATA SSD's. I also need about at least 8 USB slots on the back of the motherboard.

I would say put your main NVME m.2 on the board not the GEN-Z.2 due to it using the CPU PCIe lanes vs chipset lanes. Specifically the left m.2 slot which is the one that uses the 4x lanes AMD AM5 has for m.2 use(the other 4x General purposes CPU PCIe lanes seem to be used for the Intel JHL8540 USB4 controller(yes this does allow Thunderbolt even though it isn't mentioned). Using the right m.2 slot will cut your main PCIe5 slot to 8x and your second PCIe5 slot to 4x. This is also why the PCIe adapter only has one slot I assume as using it also cuts your main PCIe5 slot to 8x. So 4x for this and 4x second board m.2 slot(right one). AMD AM5 only has 28 PCIe 5 lanes: 16 lanes for PCIe5 slots and 8x General Purpose lanes(4x used here for the primary m.2 and 4x for the USB4/Thunderbolt chip(i think), 4x to link to the chipset. The GEN-Z.m is chipset as far as I know so is not as fast. The main reason I got this board was for the RAID so I did a lot of benchmarks. It's RAID sucks for SATA HDD. I tried 2 Exos and then 2 IronWolf Pro 18 TB. RAIDxpert 2 drops the RAID on waking from sleep for Windows 11. Did a ton of trouble shooting with no luck. The NVME m.2 RAID is pretty fast though. Even on the chipset slots VS the CPU slots. 2x 2TB Kingston FURY Renegades gen4 in RAID 0 get 14135MB/s(SEQ1M Q8T1) on CPU lanes and 10722MB/s (SEQ1M Q8T1) on the ROG GEN-Z.2 adapter. I did a lot of benchmarks of these and Terramaster D8-332 RAID Thunderbolt enclosure with 8 Seagate Exos 18TB in RAID 0 and 1/0. Also on the GEN-Z.2 adapter one side is NVME Gen 5 and one is Gen 4. I assume they expect the Gen5 NVME to be hotter hence the pipe only on one side.

This isn't a limitation of the motherboard uniquely, it's just the memory controller spec, which you can't really do anything about afaik (correct me if I'm wrong here pls). Same issue with any other motherboard afaik. Maybe you want an EPYC or Threadripper for omega memory? Quad channel might be where it's at for you depending on your use case.

In addition to that, there is some bandwidth weirdness inherent to AM5 CPUs so occasionally, during higher bus loads things get unstable. It is what it is. AMD themselves do NOT recommend going beyond 4500 or whatever the number was.

Thanks for the insight, but I'm still confused why Bitcoin and crypto prices keep dropping? This drop follows a number of other significant drops in recent weeks. I still hold enormous value of cryptos and it scares me. Whats your take on this?

[@cresponoe9451]

There are many reasons for this drop in value. One of the main reasons is that there is an ongoing debate about whether or not Bitcoin should be regulated as a security or as a currency.

Idk. I desperately want to see a new custom waterloop from you, Jay. I just feel like we haven't seen an interesting watercooling build from you in years. The Singularity case had like, 4 pipes and you can only even 2 of them and it looks nearly identical to every other Singularity case which is like, the least J2C thing I can think of.

I have the x570 version of this board, the built in thunderbolt and 10gbe are pretty sweet for a media creation workstation, plus it can support 5 m.2 drives so it's great. To get all 5 drives supported you have to swap the PCIe settings in bios to make the top slot an x8 slot, but I have had no issues running it like that with my 3080, and zero drive failures or issues either. Expensive line of motherboards but they are awesome.

JayzTwoCents in this video you talk about Hooking your water pump up to the water pump header. Do you recommend doing that now with this particular board instead of using the Cpu fan header that you have always recommended in the past. I would like to know which you recommend I have this board and I find your advice invaluable. I would greatly appreciate your input on this.

[@fridaynohw3529]

Returned my X670E Hero and bought a Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX. Very glad I made that choice. Unless you need the optical port, this motherboard is quite pointless in at least 2 years. But I wonder what you can get with the same money 2 years later. ROG Extreme isn’t about whether you are on a budget. In fact, in my personal opinion, anything above Apex I think suffers an significant diminishing return.

[@maegnificant]

What people often forget is that these expensive motherboards often OC ram exceptionally well

I bought this on release day. Love it and hate it at the same time. It's wide enough that it blocked my grommets, so I decided to upgrade my case to accommodate. The PCI-e riser card is pointlessly large, and should half been half height. Beautiful board, but hurt the pocketbook.

[@R3TR0ACTIV]

I love all the features it offers and the look but the price. That is almost half my budget for my build and then a gfx cand that's more than some ppl's budget.

I'm glad I went with the Zenith II Extreme for my Threadripper station because of the DIMM.2. It wasn't a selling point for me when I bought it. But I was thankful to have it a year later when my laptop wasn't being used anymore and a 2TB m.2 I could take out and use in my desktop. That drive replaced my 10 year old 3TB Seagate Barracuda as my games drive.

[@alexgifford5895]

This board looks sick, I love overkill stuff. Also, I think there's another m.2 slot right underneath the CPU that you missed, so it looks like you can fit 6 m.2 drives, which is just insane. Killer video as usual, Jay; can't wait to see the personal rig update.

[@outlet6989]

And those who put 6 2TB M.2s on the MB will soon replace them with 6 4TB ones. An't money nice to have and even better to spend.

[@bmgjet]

This is the board I would of gotten. But a few week before hand I got scammed by Asus support, they charged me $900 to just fail to repair my PG27uq. Then blamed it on the firmware update I did 2 years before hand saying that caused the FPGA to fail in it. I pulled it apart myself and fixed it in half a hour since it was just cracked soldering on the SMD fuses. So I got the Gigabyte Aorus x670e xtreme instead and will never buy Asus again.

I have this MOBO. I went full tilt on my new AM5 build. This Mobo, 7950X CPU, RTX 4090, Coolermaster HAF 700 Evo. Yeah, I could have saved a few hundred bucks on the MOBO and Case. But fuck it, I only rebuild my system once every 4 - 5 years. In the end, it only comes out to be about $1k/year. Which in terms of hobbies, is fairly cheap. I'm happy with my purchase and setup. And I may upgrade the CPU if AMD releases a 3D-Vcache version of the 7950x or 7900x, and then sell the current 7950x for a few hundred bucks cheaper than MSRP. Why? Because I can, and I want to.
