Hi Steve Johnson, welcome to my channel. I was trying to explain that each of these fan headers have a max capacity of 1ampere. And fans out there you are able to daisy chain them together which gives you only one connection point. you can do that but make sure to find our what's the total 3 fan ampere is before you plug. Example fan 1 to fan 3 are each rated at 0.30a. if you total them up, it will be at 0.90a which is not an issue to plug to any of these motherboard fan header (Each) If 3 fans daisy chained and total up above 1ampere, lets say each fan is at 0.4a, total will be 1.2a, then you should not be pluging to any of these motherboard fan header (Each)

Your comment abbout the Amps spooked me as I am really not experienced in computer parts and I didn't expect the amps to become a problem. After some digging around on the internet and researching the case I bought, it turns out a power repeater can be used for the fans. This way you can attach many fans to one fan header as the power is pulled directly from the PSU. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think this would be the solution for this motherboard. I don't know if many cases come with a repeater, mine did in any case.

Hi lsotrev, welcome to my channel. Assuming you have 2 x 2tb nvme and both are of PCIe 4.0 , install both OS and Games in one m.2 which is to slot the m.2 slot nearest to the processor on your motherboard and the other m.2 at the middle slot on your motherboard as game storage or data storage. That will be ideal. As both os and game load will be faster.

Hey Kleo! I decided to jump the gun on this motherboard based on your review... and I'm now having second thoughts about it. Has it given you any troubles since your initial thoughts? I had a sour experience with this board given that the LAN drivers aren't recognized immediately when Windows is installed and because my USB3.0 header ripped and broke a pin after just one plug in, rendering 2 of my front USB-A ports useless. A USB port at the back also acts funny with an external DAC, if it's not turned on when booting it won't recognize it and it'll render the port useless until I reboot. Turning it on during normal use won't work, and if it's turned on when I boot my PC and then turn it off and try to turn it back on it won't work, it's just with that singular USB port though (top left from the blue USBs on the rear IO), the others work fine and this doesn't happen with anything else. The IO shield is also a tad loose on the top right corner for some reason. Curve Optimizer with -25 on all cores for a 7800x3D and 6000 MT/s G.Skill Trident Neo RAM with EXPO enabled work flawlessly though, I'd just like to know if it's a good board in the long run or if I'm better moving my system to an X670E Tomahawk instead. Running the latest drivers and BIOS too, pretty easy to set up to be quite honest. Keep up the great work! Also loved your LF III review and it's my cooler of choice with this CPU, really helped me make my purchase for both of these items. :)

Hi Socrates, welcome to my channel. do pardon me as I've no experience on the Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite AX, but they are well known for good VRM heatsink. you can give it a try.

Wait so now I'm confused, where have you heard that the chipset is B650, and not B650E? I've heard everywhere else and on every single source that it is B650E, and even on its product page it is AMD B650E certified.

I'll be using 7 Thermalright TL-M12 fan , The Asus ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI motherboard supports up to 3A on its 5V ARGB headers. Each Thermalright TL-M12 fan draws 0.15A for ARGB lighting, totaling 1.05A for seven fans. This is well within the 3A limit per header. do you think connecting 7 ARGB fans to a single 5V ARGB header is safe and should not exceed the power limit of the header. ?

motherboard manufacturers are removing real POST CODE LEDs from low end boards, which is a shame, and replacing them with LEDs. the problem isnt positioning of the replacement indicator LEDs, its that there isnt a POST CODE 7 segment LED. The other problem with M.2s and connectivity in general, there is no longer a high end desktop segment, at least one that is affordable, that offers enough PCIe lanes to allow for things like M.2 slots, and full bandwidth PCIe slots, and more of them. Who wants to run their GPU that maybe they spent $1000 on, at X8? Also, ill bet the real market for people plugging in PCIe 5.0 M.2 into the second PCIe x16 (real x8) is very very small.
