Thank you for this video! I didn't even use it as a review, more of a tutorial for the board since I already bought it and have never gone this small before.

Thank you for this great video, I'm building my first PC and it helped me a lot :)

When dealing with the elevated heat on the NVMe drive on back of the motherboard, adding an extension cable and re-mounting the NVMe somewhere else in the case works well. I've just done this on an Aorus 570i motherboard, the NVMe now "stuck" to the inside of the front panel, getting good airflow from a nearby fan.

Great well explained video, deserves way more views

You just made my day! This is almost my EXACT build! This mother board with that case. This is my first time building a pc vs. upgrading my laptop, lol. This is going to be of great help haha

Update, watched your other vids about the motherboard and 2000D airflow. Super helpful and now I got my first desktop in 10 years yo and running! Thankfully my bios was already at F9 so I didn't have to mess with that

Great review! Ive just bought this mother and Im trying to optimize the temps. Can you do a video setting up pbo and memory with the new bios UI in F9 version? Thanks in advance!

How thick is that block of m.2 fan heat sink, looks about 20 mm?

Did you ever look at the total power output of the system? Id bet your total power draw only hits around 500w with a 4070 ti and that cpu. But i guess its good future proofing.

I have this same build. 7 7700 x, this MOBO, Corsair 32 x 2 GB Vengeance RAM, RX 6800 XT in a Phantex 200 case. I am using the Corsair commander XT as well. A corsair AIO 100 model for colling and 5 corsair fans. Great little computer

Anyone know where I can find beep codes for this? 1 long 2 short beeps. I've tried 3 different pairs of RAM and removed the GPU and plugged into the motherboard. Won't boot or show anything on the screen. Just that beep code. I'm even using the same PSU, and Corsair Vengeance RAM. (2 different sets, plus a g.skill one.)

Question about the 3 fan headers for anyone that know. What are the volts and amps specs for them. Having a hard time finding this info an do need it to decide if im going to buy a fan hub or not for my NR200P build. My plan is to run the cpu fans as intake through cpu_fan, and a side exhaust through cpu_opt, and my bottom intake and top exhaust through system fan, however if the header rating cant support four fans (two nuctua a12 slims and the cycle flow that come with the case) then ill probably need a hub which i really dont want to have to buy one.

I've read that people are having issues with pci-e 4.0 riser cables for the GPU on this board, for a more compact "sandwich layout" build. Has anyone run into this, or can you confirm that it works?

Looking to start another itx build . I have always gone with the Asus ROG itx boards Z370-1 for my intel and X570-I for my Ryz en build . So now it's an AM5 build (7800x3d ) How would you compare the AUROS B650I to the Asus ROG Strix B650E-I . Thanks in advance

I believe this has twice as fast USB 3.2 2x2 headers that can do 20Gb per second, and an extra M.2 slot. Those were the two unique features I found.

Where would you plug in an HD audio cable that’s coming from my front panel? (Beginner here)

@stevenswall

3 ай бұрын

That part is really hard to find, but you have to lift up the heat sink and fan for the nvme drive, and you will be able to plug in the HD audio connector.

I'm doing a build with this motherboard at the moment... 7:43 - do you reckon it's worth taking off the stickers of the thermal pads for the m.2 slots you're NOT using? E.g. I'll be only using the top slot (so obviously i'll take those stickers off), but not the one underneath. Should i take the stickers off the one underneath anyway just in case? Or should i keep it on in case one day i do use it?

If I use only 1 SSD M.2 on slot gen5. Is it necesery to remove plastic sticker on the 2nd slot(gen 4) under its?

No, no need if there is no m.2 stick touching it.

Mine don't boot and don't beep so I can't find the problem, wanted to change the battery to try but how do I remove the I/o shield?

There is a two pin CMOS reset area next to the GPU connector slot, on the end away from the click on/off lever for that slot. Look under the M.2 heat sink area.

Are you bottlenecking the PCIE with 3x NVME?

This M.2 fan connector is just horrible. Seems impossible to disconnect. Did anybody succeed with that?

Hello and thanks for this detailed review ! I'm currently building my next pc after 14 years, into an a4-h2o case, and your video helped me quite a bit as I didn't know much about nvme drives ! I have a little question though. Do you think I should remove the thermal pad on the back of the motherboard if I don't put a drive there yet, or can I let it there even with the plastic sticker protection still on it ?

I have the same question. Bugger that there's no answer. The Gigabyte manual is super small

my only issue with the aorus itx motherboards is that the cpu socket is placed higher than the other brands. i'm using a fractal torrent nano and I had a hard time finding a compatible air cooler due to the offset being high

It's a common thing. Google it. These Ryzen CPUs intentionally ramp up to 95 degrees when under load and that's for peak performance. Weird but there you go

It is in between the two heat sinks. You have to remove the m.2 heat sink on the top of the board to access it.

Watching you shove the header cable into the riser board without supporting it at 3:25 hurt me.

Not a great experience with that model . I bought that model and paired with Ryzen 9 7900x into a ITX case (Cooler Master) and was not a deal. I did the bios update and after few days the board died. Very difficult to work with motherboard, to connect everything. Was the cheapest ITX board, a B650 in that time i think in April 2023.

It's literally the size of a Samsung Galaxy fold

After my z690i Ultra I will never trust or recommend Gigashite again. Terrible board.
