So who thinks ASRock will remember this and apply the design to future designs? Surely they won't mess up? 😅 It seems like ASRock in general have pretty good power delivery and cooling for the money.

Especially considering this trend on Newegg of lumping together 10-15 motherboards under one list item so when people review them, you don't know what boards they're reviewing unless they specifically name them, which doesn't happen very often. That functionality is just gone, now.

VRM heat is useful, but is that the only thing motherboards do and the only thing left to test?! It's like having a CPU, and only looking at integer and float performance 🤦‍♂ What happened to looking at actual power consumption, cpu performance, pcie performance, ssd controller performance, and usb throughput?!

@Puyols37

9 күн бұрын

​@@davidanderson4727 Motherboard temperature directly affects the performance of those components so we can assume the hotter the mobo the worse it will perform in general. Just look at the thermal throttling presented in the graphs.

@davidanderson4727

@@Puyols37 That's incorrect. The VRM only affects the CPU performance. Regardless, the overall design of the board and other "enhancements" would also affect cpu performance, such as the manufacturer doing a tiny overclock of the bus. It's a pretty short-sighted review and mostly a waste of time, considering how power can vary so much, and overlooking all aspects of the board, including audio controller, sata and usb controller, pci-e performance, etc.

Shout out to Balin filming all the boards

This definitely took a LOT of effort and time! Massive respect! Thanks! 🙌🏻🖤

I bought the B650M-HDV/M.2 last year because of your detailed coverage of the AM5 boards. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a budget option. It's simply great for that price. As always, brilliant video Steve!

"Thanks Steve". Seriously, an enormous effort. Thank you for all your channel does for the tech community.

What a madlad amount of work haha 🙂 Thank you so much, I shared this video on reddit too (PCMR). You are amazing Steve!

Jesus Christ, Steve. That was A LOT of work. Thank you.

Very grateful that someone takes the time and effort to test them. Waiting for the mini-itx. For the first time I'm thinking to come back to ATX from itx as the temps, W and heat seems to be rising in CPU and GPU every generation.

I bought a B450 board based on your recommendation, still using it with a 5800X3D (also based on your reviews), and it's a great system. You guys always steer the consumer in the right direction, thank you!

No one else makes this type of videos. I really respect you guys for this. This is so helpful for someone who wants to build a PC with these motherboards. I was eyeing the Pro RS for a while and It's nice to have some reassurance.

These videos are so good, because I can see people looking these videos up for several years to come, as you might be able to pick up an older, but good, board at a cheaper price, when looking to upgrade in the future.

This was a crazy amount of work 😱

I got the Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX V2 B650 and have loved it. Memory training is fast. No issues at all. Very good experience out of the box with my 7800x3d and G.Skill 6000 RAM.

Thank you for your hard work Steve! I am on the path for getting my first new PC for a while, sitting on a i5-4670K right now... Will be an ITX build but might have a bigger brother in the ATX family. You are my go-to source for getting the parts, because I respect your work ethics and Actual testing instead of just reading promotion material. You ara appreciated, very much so! Thanks again!

Thank you for the hardwork on mid ranges mobo vrm testing too. Really appreciated.

Much appreciated, truly immence amount of benchmarking. Outstanding work. Thanks, Steve! And Balin, too!

manufacturers: "we'll make SOOOO MANY types of boards that nobody in their right mind would bother testing them all!!!" Steve: "hold my [coffee]"

Amazing video - awesome work and detail, thanks! I just purchased the Asrock B650M Pro RS so this reassured me a bit. I only paid £120 for it after discounts, so it seems like a bargain of an AM5 board - especially since it has 3x M.2 NVMe slots. 😊

Never looked into this channel, only heard it referenced/credited on occaison. But this video, especially when sponsored by my favorite local hardware youtuber, is more thsn enough reason to subscribe immediately

Also worth looking at when choosing motherboards is troubleshooting LEDs. Good ones have two 8-digit LEDs, others just give you individual leds for RAM/Power/CPU and you have to go from there. Having no feedback is a no go for me, I don't want to spend hours guessing what is wrong.

Thank you for the hard work, love this channel!

I do not need a B650 m/b, but knowing how much work you always put into these videos, I had to click, watch, like, and comment. Thank you guys so much for what you're doing!
