M.2 slot 2 Update. This works very well with my Cooler Master NR200P MAX. I have 2 additional fan at the bottom of my case set to exhaust. On the motherboard. There is a thermal pad between the chipset heatsink and the SSD at M.2 slot 2. I removed that. creating an airgap. The thermal pad that I removed, I placed it on the top side of the SSD on M.2 slot 2. Coz I noticed, that side of the Samsung 980 Pro have the copper heatsink. I said "why not expand the copper heatsink by adding another layer of thermal pad on it?". And it WORKS! The temp was reduced by 12 degrees.! Just to share.

I build one just few weeks ago using a Cooler Master NR200P Max casing. And that really cooled down my i9 13000K. Everything is great with this motherboard even without the Thunderbolt feature. Except the heatsink for the M.2 slot 2. Using the Samsung Magician, I notice in an idle stage. The M.2 slot 1 temperature is around 39 to 42 degrees Celsius. But the M.2 slot 2 is around 61 to 65 degrees Celsius. So, my tip if you going to build a new pc using this motherboard. I suggest replacing the stock thermal pads with new ones in two types of thickness. I believed, the stock thermal pad is not touching the controller chip on the NVME drive as they are thinner than the NAND chips and DRAM. So tonight, I'm going to replace them.

This one looks great! I used to do my builds using ITX mobos but lately I prefer mATX …. Nevertheless this looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!

bought this a week ago. great itx mobo.

[apredatorgb]

Awesome, answered a lot of my tiny ITX questions with this video. Thanks!

[petrolfreak]

Can you please make sure that the noctua L12 GE fits in this board?

[manfredszorn]

Great and usefull overview! Did you manage to mount the L12-Ghost Edition without any problems on this board?

Good video, but I'm not quite following along. Can you make a video on how to install this in my laptop?

If I’m building in a Mini-ITX Z790 with 13th gen in mind, should I be looking for a board with bios flashback? It seems no board works out of the box with 13th gen and owners have to put in 12 gen CPU just to upgrade bios. I don’t have access to one so I’m thinking my only option is a board with bios flashback. Awesome content. Thanks for the video.

This is a very helpful overview. Thank you!

No thunderbolt? Dang it was almost perfect.

[junaustria]

Update: I replaced the stock thermal pad for M.2 Slot 2. Still getting a 67 degrees Celsius. Second attempt, I added another layer of 1mm thick thermal pad. And I'm still getting a 67 degrees Celsius. Does anybody know how to bring the temp down?

[MrDutche]

Shame they didn't make the AMD version of this B650E instead of just B650. It's quite lacking in comparison to this board.

Hey, will this fit in the Lian Li Q58?

Planning to make pc with i5 13500, arc a750 and Lianli q58 and plus some other used gpus like 1080 1070 1060 rx580 etc for comparision and also to run xplane, which is not supported on Intel GPUs

[Paul-mgqg]

@mashextra Nice review! Does this motherboard support Intel Core i7-13700K straight out of the box?

[yttean]

Sure explain the feature. More important want buy this instead of cheaper z690 and b660? BTW what's the price of this board?

[Decki]

Can this motherboard overclock 13900k i have noctua nhd 15 cooler

[dustinhamerly]

Great video! Do you know what the 6e card is?

[DominikZalewski]

Do you think it will fit into NZXT H1 V2? I'm bit concerned about that SSD heatsink
