a very simple and logical guy...I like this channel and is just my first time. Keep it real and cool, please. You look authentic and down to earth with your knowledge, especially for people like me doing my research to do my first build. Thanks.

I once overclocked a Phenom II 1090T to 4.0GHz on an MSI NF980-G65. It's VRMs were so bad that it actually caught fire and smoked up the room with fresh burnt electronics smell. That CPU somehow survived and still works to this day.

I wanted to thank you 🙏, I tried forever to find out where the two extra fan headers where. Your video saved me.

For my last three builds I've used the same high quality external sound card through USB. No hiss from interference inside the case; repairable; never really becomes obsolete. I think this possibility should be taken into account, even for budget builds.

Fantastic vid mate!!

That VRM temps using a downstream cooler looks like one more reason why I despise water cooling. A lot of tech channels do their VRM test using water cooling without any air going trough the VRMs, them declaring this or that board had bad VRM design.

A lot of people don't think about this at all. The stock cooler for both Intel and AMD are designed to blow air downward onto the VRMs but tech reviewers rarely talk about this.

Many "enthusiasts" seem to have never asked themselves "why do stock cpu coolers blow downwards onto the motherboard? = to cool the vrms and other components. What allways makes me laugh is they liquid cool the cpu but let the vrms fry blissfully unaware they require airflow. Best solution for better cooling is simply a bigger stock air cooler.

@enlightendbel

Жыл бұрын

This is a double edged sword though. With any high level of intensity, you're just dumping hot air on the board and VRMs. Doing the minor investment of buying a decent tower cooler is practically always better, unless you're cramped on space, then you should experiment with turning the CPU coolers fan around to draw air up instead of blowing it down. Because this will often still provide some airflow over the VRMs, while exporting the hot air asap.

So is this one good for 3080rtx? Im building my first PC after 12years running a PC a friend build me

Build a PC with this board, a 3600 and a 16 GB 3600 CL 18 kit, works like a charm. Really nice and compact board to build with and if you need WiFi you might as well get this over an older B450 board as the prices are almost the same.

When you look on the top you see two mini chips in the SOC portion, which are the drivers. so next time remove the heatsink and look at the configuration. Highend boards do not use such parts, so when IPS or SPS are used, the drivers are inside the package.

_"All in all this is a perfectly reasonable motherboard"_ Oh yaay, it's the one I've ordered.

And I paired it with the 3700, which you suggested almost what you suggested. And reasonable graphics card, a 3060, I'm sure would count. So phew, I was probably just lucky.

How is this motherboard performing so far?

Hi....... im planning to buy this motherboard today on amazon. Can someone who has the board just help me by just saying does the power LED blink when its in sleep. Gigabyte sold me a motherboard which their support manager tells me to prove where in the manual does it say it will blink during sleep mode....and asks me politely to bugger off and they dont even have to answer....that means it doesn't have that facility. I was like WTF ? its the most basic function it doesn't need a mention in the manual. Don't all mobos allow the power led to blink when its in sleep mode ??. This shit Gigabyte B250M mobo doesnt....and bec of that i sometimes dont know if i can off the power socket...in fact the support asshole was like didn't even take effort to troubleshoot....he says prove in the documentation that its SUPPOSED TO BLINK. Now next these fellows will sell a mobo which cant even do that and we customers will have to eat shit. So i wanna be sure.

Is it better to get this mobo or an msi b450 tomahawk with a WiFi adapter instead? I need WiFi capability since my router is not in my room.

IMO the onboard WiFi is huge especially on a smaller board. Plus the 550 is better in the long run

Heeey! I have that board. It's in the closet, no fault of it's own as I decided to go Threadripper and ASRock (which I would like to see you review more of motherboard-wise) but my little bro and father in law both got this board and have been rocking it just fine. And now I'll just take a moment to note how AMD has killed it with their OEM heatsink, that thing is cool for stock!

I have no doubt that the board is more than adequate for any AM4 chip that does (or will) exist, but I really have to question the accuracy of your temperature measurements... FLIR is a great way to get misleading numbers.

I use the budget x570 Prime board, minus buying a USB-C add in card. It has every feature I'd say 99% of people need.
