Wendell (bless his heart! 🤗) *just* inspired me to (finally) go and find me a decent aftermarket, dual-band WiFi antenna. Amazon has 'em. Very similar to the ones included with higher-end ASUS mobos. (I think I'll buy two or three.)

Another great and informative video for the everyday builder.

i just built a 13600k system with that Fractal Case and I love it. I like it more than my Corsair 5000D flow that I used for my 13900k

i was looking for the same build , could you guide me in building one please?

did a little cheer for the 700W thermaltake, my el cheapo DDR5 build with an ASUS CSM B760 has one and it's been rock solid. i've heard some people say it runs like a 1000W PSU!

I love Steel Legend, the looks is really good. There's something I am bored about the B60 series chipsets is that, locked for mid,lower ends. I can tell, z90 is much more fun. Anyway next year should be 20a, 20% higher clock for same power? Thanks for the low prices Asrock I can rock my 11600k in a z590 for another year or 2.

would like to see a decent budget/value build with the new ryzen i5 equivalent when it comes out

Im considering this board for the 13500 non K. Based on previous years, Asrock really had issues with poor VRM temps. I hope they fixed these issues in the long run. Split between this and the TUF Gaming Plus, mainly going with this cause it has white colour and im planing on using the Deepcool CH370WH.

So any updates?

How about Gigabyte B760m Aourus Elite X AX D5 is there any big difference with that MOBO?

Nice video. There is kind of plastic protection on the left part of the WiFi card. Does it need to be removed when building the PC? TIA

If I could make a request of an interesting board for AM5 Wendell. Me and a couple of my old co-workers from Red Hat here in Raleigh, NC would like to see you review the GIGABYTE B650I AORUS ULTRA AM5 and on the G. Skill Ripjaw S5 6400Mhz memory for the 7950X 3D CPU. We are all starting a Star Citizen group here soon and building our mini systems in the cooler master NR200P max case..and were curious what our performance would be with 7900XTX's

These Steel Legends are such great boards for white builds...

Hi sir Im choosing between the b760m steel legend / b760mb660m mortar max wifi than can do undervolt/overclocked or any b660/b760 mobo can do just needed the bios updated

is this motherboard good for I5 12600k? along with that new thermal contact frame from grizzly?

About Your concerns, the ASRock would run too hot with a i9-13900K: Would a Gigabyte B760 Gaming X AX better for this CPU?

new age digital camo, ey? ballsy move, Steel Legend _engagement_

asrock b760 steel legend wifi ddr5 or Asus PRIME B760M-A WIFI DDR5, which one will be best for i7 13700 non k version Intel Motherboard?

AsRock making some nice looking boards 🤩👍🥰. It’s a shame they seem to under power their vrms for for Intels higher end CPUs. Imo they seem to be doing like AMD with their A320/520 chipsets and build them basically for higher performing R5 level CPUs ….. AsRock here just did this board for i3/i5 builds

It's a relatively cheap, all-round good DDR5/WiFi/mATX board, it can power the CPUs it's meant for just fine. Why would anyone put a 13900K or KS in this anyway? Also, one can always stick a fan onto the VRM, heat issue solved. The main issue with Intel's B-chipset is the quite limited ram overclocking potential.

@@Totto70770 The main issue with underpowered VRM's is longevity, while there is no sense in using something as overkill as a 13900k now that will change quite a bit 5-7 years from now if history is anything to go by. High end cpu's will likely be going for dirt cheap left and right, but motherboards will be quite a bit harder to get so whenever someone is still using one and looking for a drop in replacement or is getting a second hand board the VRM's (now degraded from years of use no less) will be a serious issue to the builds stability.

i have this motherboard and probably i have wrong settings in the bios cause i have issues with my microphone and my pc doesnt open emediatly, it opens and after 2 second it opens again and then it works -.-

motherboard makers need to make 10g marvel lan the default. forget intel 1/2.5 and forget realtek 1/2.5.... 10g marvel chips are absolutely amazing quality. even IF you aren't doing 10g workloads, their ability to process networking data is king. i had bought the aquantia 10g card (which is the same chip, marvel bought aquantia) and its been a legit dream especially with QoS enabled along with my QoS enabled ubiquiti dream machine pro.....

Can we run 14 th gen cpu ?

How about the riptide version of asrock? Does anyone have an opinion??

can you update the bios on this one to accomodate 14th gen cpu?

I really am surprised that no one ever used the 12900 or the 13900 with the B660 and B760 boards. They're good CPU's but no one seems to use them. Are they even out for sale?

6:45 anyone know what kind of cpu cooler brand is that?

Is it any good? I feel worried about the comments regarding its high temperature. It's unfortunate that it has affected me, making me feel like buying the product was a mistake!!

1:12 Anyone knowledgeable about wifi antennas? Thinking about what Wendell is saying about rubber duck antennas vs those that are on a wire, often with a magnetic base . . . . how interchangeable are they? I know they are to some extent since right now I'm using a wired antenna from an old z97 ASUS motherboard on an MSI B550 motherboard I bought second hand without antennas. Question is, how "smart" or wifi tech specific are these antennas? For e.g. How different in design is a 6E antenna from a 6 or 5Ghz or 2.4GHz antenna? Are they interchangeable? Are they just lengths of wire? Is the little "aerial" at the end of the wire in anyway specific to the motherboard's wifi tech?

I just ordered this motherboard (as it was the only board within my budget that was LGA1700, DDR5 and had built-in WiFi). I am pairing it with a 12600K, a 4070, 32gb 4800 DDR5 and a 750w PSU. I am unsure whether I can actually go for higher speed ram? The 12600K supports up to 4800, but could I safely go for something like 5600mhz?
