Confused by all those random letter/number combos AMD and Intel use to describe their chipsets? Don't be - we explain it all in this video.

This was surprisingly helpful, even though I’m not buying a motherboard anytime soon.

def coming back to this when i build a pc. i finally figured out intel's numbering scheme for their cpus, but i couldn't figure out at all what made a motherboard cheaper or more expensive

Could you guys do a video about NVidia's low latency option in their graphics driver? Like what kind of things you give up to get the lower latency, does it have a performance impact and such and is this different on GTX cards compared to RTX cards or just slower on lower end cards?

I'm looking at mobos and CPUs to upgrade my PC currently and couldn't understand what the chipsets meant. This was rather helpful. Thanks!

Okay, the Ford F150 joke got me. Take your angry like, damnit.

Riley: The numbers don't mean anything.
X399: Guess I'll just leave.

Cries in B450M - only has two fan headers. Can't connect a 3rd top case fan unless I get a splitter cable.

When I built my new AMD 5000 system, the B550 motherboard I ended up with actually had MORE I/O than X570 of comparable price (around the $200 mark). I would have had to go to the ridiculous $500 level boards to get more from X570, and IIRC, similar options existed for B550.

I'm always happy to see Riley in a video! Can't explain why, became a fav

Fantastic, clear explanation. Great writing, Jon

The way AMD allowed AM4 to be inter-generational is what i love & appreciate..!😍

[javierortiz]

Nowadays you can have an AMD 5700X paired with an AMD 5700 XT, on an AMD X570 chipset not confusing at all

[gareth]

This is super helpful for someone like me, who had no idea what the numbers and letters meant

[EmceeJoseph]

These videos are very helpful but a website with a nice library of infographics to quickly reference afterwards would be even better.

Great. Now only if you guys could decode Sony's mess, we could have finally be transformed into an advanced intergalactic civilization

[gekojazz]

Me literally yesterday:
mmmm I need to choose a motherboard for my first build but i know nothing about it, I wonder what those alpha-numeric codes stands for


LMG:
let's cover this in a video on techquickie

thanks guys, this was really helpful

[dark_night]

You should do a video on graphics card names, invidia is simple ish, but amd's are more confusing

[vanfly]

Very useful and informative video and also hilarious 😂

i never knew there was a Q variation for intel motherboards
good thing the video also addressed Where/When it was used

Pretty awesome video as always

0:12 "You should pay close attention to these names because they tell you what chipset the motherboard has."
0:20 _using image of ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO which doesn't include chipset in its name_

Great video, for the banding on the background you can add a little bit of noise, and will look smoother. Greetings.
