What's the difference between AMD's various AM5 CHIPSETS? X670 and X670E, B650 and B650E explained!

What motherboard should you buy for your new Ryzen 7000 series CPU?

That was well explained and helped me understand the different boards. It would of helped if you expanded the size of the initial table so we could see it. It would also help to have text on screen to say what type of board you're explaining and it's key features. I'd also start with the price as that's the primary factory for most people.

Nici nu stiam ca aveti canal si in engleza. Nu am avuzit sa spuneti de el. Stiam decat de Zona si Playground!❤ Felicitari!

[JSRSChannel]

Really good breakdown of differences. Thanks!

[alexxela]

keep up the good work!
let's go with the algorithm!

[WSS_the_OG]

Excellent breakdown. Thanks for this!

So expensive now... these things have gone up more than GPUs over the last decade. Good thing it's easy to find features like Thunderbolt 4 and WiFi included in these boards. Want those PCIe 5 GPU sllots (for the cards that won't exist for a year) or the PCIe 5 NVMes that barely make and real world difference? Got them! Ugh...

Thank you for video. You clearly explained the difference between the different chipsets and help me determine which mother broad to purchase.

[HarishNarayanan]

This was an excellent and clear video. B650E it is for me!

[richou]

thanks for the explanation, really well done and helped me pick

I got the Strix B650- A Gaming Wifi for my 4080/ 7700x combo and its all i need tbh.
GPUs can barely handle PCiE 4.0, so 5.0 is a money waster for the next 2-3 GPU generations and there is noway i upgrade in the next 2 years (if i get a new system in 2-3 yrs i get all new parts anyway).
On top this MoBo has 5.0 for a SSD which is basicly the only relevante part for it atm.

If you are looking for a new MoBo then there are only 2 options basicly: hyper high end with super overclocking > x670E, the rest can basicly pick whatever is on sale or has the desired amount of features. The differences are more with the manifacturer than the different versions, since you find different amount of ports etc on the boards. Example: a good B650 is as good or better than a B650E (- the 5.0 money waster slot for GPUs ofc)

want to buy am5 right now but the motherboards are so expensive in UK. all the news about price drops appears to be USA only as usual.

[eyes]

Lol $1300 which doesn't make it run faster.

Good Video and all needed information. But maybe next time you can add capital to the video. That makes it a lot more user-friendly

Lets Compare AMD X570 VS B650 and or B650E AM5 Motherboards – explain some major differences included on their IO back plate such as how many USB 3 / 3.1 / 3.2 type A or C, WiFi, - leaving processors and DDR4 along with DDR5 out of it because their simply isn't a massive difference between the two variations at this time that make massive differences at this early stage to DDR5. Also we barely touched the surface on PCIe Gen 5 related too NVME M.2 gen 5 so set that aside too. And doubt we will see any Gen 5 GPU's for 3 years. It also doesn't matter using SATA3 Solid State Drives or NVME M.2 third gen or fourth gen because the speeds are all still quite comparable at present, other then M.2's take up less space and clutter. And the final reason I chose to ask these questions are, 4K is very popular and soon will dominate the market leaving processors irrelivent because even an AMD Ryzen 5600 or Intel 12100 or 12400 paired with an AMD RX6750 and up or NVidia 3080 thru to a 4090 will handle bottleneck problems. So while sponsors push us to buy "NEW" you should share some of this knowledge I shared. Buying new undeveloped products will inevitably leave us at a loss as we continue to see on both Intel and AMD struggle for dominance over one another at our cost.

I desperately wish I could get an Asus board without having to worry about it melting my 7000 series CPU. Alas.

[lukas_driesen]

I am a thirteen year old and I thnik that it was well explayned.

[MrTeknown]

Caut un procesor/placa de baza pentru 7900 XTX Nitro+. Ma gandeam la 7800x3d cu o placa de baza B650E ATX care sa aiba min 2 m.2 si o placa audio integrata decenta.

[TacticalGamer]

CPU mai usor de pronuntat decat processor :)

[Wimpelmann]

I´m switching from am4 to a 7800x3d
Can´t make up my mind if i should spend extra money for the x670e chipset or just go with a good b650.
it´s pure for Gaming...

Got a 4090 and 2 m.2 drives
one is x4 and the other is a x3 drive...no Sata drives

what would you buy

MSI X670E Carbon Wifi
or
MSI b650 Tomahawk or Carbon Wifi

[axineus]

What would you recommend as an upgrade from a Crosshair VIII dark hero to an AM5 platform motherboard?
