That awkward moment when you see the motherboard you were planning to get being put on D tier

[robertocroitoru]

Just got the ASRock B650E Steel Legend for my 9800X3D, thanks for the ultimate B650 Tierlist. Truly dedication, keep it up man!❤

[OddNameGames]

I appreciate seeing the shoutouts to Tech Yes City and Hardware Unboxed. Both channels provide in-depth information that’s hard to find elsewhere and nice to see them getting some love.

[AndresC]

Incredible... I have a small budget for my Gamer PC, around 300$ any tips? which OS do you recommend?

[creation_nono]

You put GigaByte B650 Gaming X AX into "D" tier, because of 8+2+2 VRM?!? Wtf. This board smoked other boards, in terms of performance, power usage and VRM temps under long term load. You have no clue what are you talking about. This kind of videos should have a disclaimer: "For entertainment purposes only"

[thornstrikesback]

As a ASRock Steel Legend WiFi B650E owner, I approve this message. It really is a fantastic board and I have absolutely ZERO reasons to upgrade to an X870E motherboard.

[akaperfectman]

Picked up MSI-b650 tomahawk for $141 dollars in Japan, Akihabara today. Gotta love tax free electric town shopping.

[YaBoyMezmo]

After watching hardware unboxed’s video on b650 boards, I really wanted a simple yes or no type guide like this. Thank you scattervolt!!

[ghostbustedprotocol]

Just got the Taichi lite one ... man design + performance 10/10 🔥🔥🔥

[DesFTW_]

Asrock haa clearly put in effort to become one of the best board makers, especially for value. Some people who have been in the space for a while may still hold negative opinions of them due to how it was around 2016 and earlier, but as of now they seem to have massively improved.

[glapigloup]

Yooo you’re the goat I was trying to choose one

[hoxton]

This is the thing about self built computers that I understand the least. This ranking really helps me knowing what boards seems worth looking further into. Thanks!

[rizzettojunior]

Hello, I'm from Brazil and I ended up "parachuting" onto your channel!

What insane quality, you delve into technical data, connectivity, etc. For example, I'm building a new PC but I was finding it difficult to find motherboards with optical output, due to my headset... and this video cleared all my doubts and Plus I learned a lot!

Congratulations on the channel! Hugs

[SR_UZSC]

I honestly was going to skip right over the video as I thought it was gonna be another tier list with no data or breakdowns but I was wrong. Video is great and I really like how in depth you go into each board even if they were low on the tier list! Glad I gave it a chance!

[godzuki]

asrock is the only brand out of all these that was created specifically to manufacture motherboards. this means that if there are issues with their bios or software they're more likely to fix it quickly than brands like gigabyte that sell all kinds of products (I know asrock sells other products now too but they started as a motherboard company). i've seen so many people having issues with motherboards on reddit and asrock just seemed to be the most reliable brand on the software and stability side from what i learned

[agorawizard]

very good job, i was searching best motherboards for amd 9900x and they was so many price-tags and specs that I was lost in space, until your video found me. at least now I can narraw the search.

[AvroBellow]

I agree with you about the AliExpress motherboards because, in addition to my main PC that uses an ASRock X570 Pro4, I have a secondary PC that uses a Soyo B550M Monarch Dragon and a video editing PC that uses a Soyo B450M Classic.

They work just fine.

[jivexero]

Would like to see tier lists for non gaming PC’s. For people that do audio production, video production, coding and work like that.

[Flumroka]

Was thinking about getting an MSI mag tomahawk and definitely will now
