Many thanks go out to #ASRock for their massive contribution to my AMD Ryzen 7000 reviews and comparisons! 🤗🤩
Do you like ASRock's AM5 motherboard lineup? 😅
Which is your favorite, and which chipset would you personally pick for YOUR needs? 🤔🤔🤔

I just purchased an Asus ROG Strix B650-A. I really want a B650E-F but it's not available on my country.
Come to think of it, mostly the difference of B650E and B650 are those PCIE5 support.
My Asus ROG B650-A only has support for pcie5 on the most top SSD slot.
There is no PCIE gen5 GPU right now even the RTX 4090 only support pcie4 and even if there is a GPU that support gen5, I think there's not much difference in performance.
PCIE gen 4 SSDs are still expensive and, in my case, mostly I will not purchase gen5 SSDs surely, they will be expensive.
Just my 2 cents.

Great to see you Nicolas, going into such depth with B650 chipset here as despite the limited release so far of the boards, not much is being shown or discussed by reviewers. I have used B450, X470 and X570 chipsets before in my builds, however going forward for my next build I will look at the B#50 chipset as AMD is looking to heavily segment their chipset in terms of I/O going forward 🥺😔, also their pricing. DDR5 is still a bit pricey, u der delivers in terms of performance currently as well as PCI-E 5 drives not bring available till 2023, very expensive and harder to cool makes these new tech’s irrelevant at this point in time. This conjunction of numerous tech advances, high pricing etc is a bad storm of events for any tech releases for any company imo.

unfortunatelly most of them have a poor audio quality (Realtek ALC897), only from 300$ ASRock X670E Steel Legend you can get a decent Realtek ALC1220.
I don't need extra pcie lanes, but should i pay 300$ for decent audio? mmm don't know. It's not fair

The board I see missing is the ASRock B650E Taichi. You can get the 24+2+1 VRM @105amps. Current pricing $499. So there you go, all complete now.

Love the silver / black color scheme..

I'd love to see an overview of the Asrock B650M PG Riptide, non-wifi. Maybe Asrock will see this comment and send you one for a full test and review.

Very informative video! It helped me a lot in my motherboard selection. Really appreciate your effort, well done!

[hovant]

Spending time on power delivery is a waste when all of them can power any processor overclocked arbitrarily high using only 1x EPS 8-pin connector

[AgentX]

The lowest price is the right one for me!😊

[rodhester]

ugh. I still use 5 +1 speaker set up that is not optical.. not everyone wants to wear headphones for hours..

[MissMan]

I avoid any motherboard with intel i225 lan, way to many issues with the NIC, killer lan is also a huge no no.

[spyroschristoulakis]

Great video! Would this specific ASRock B650E Steel Legend be fully compatible with a Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler?

[jondonnelly]

B650 is enough, there are no pci express 5 graphics cards and no NVMEs either and by the time a pci express 4 is obsolete you want will a whole new rig.

[himanologanor]

meanwhile i see the ASUS Prime B650-PLUS AMD B650(Ryzen 7000) at $200 in stock on amazon...

[jergernice]
