I was looking for reviews of this board and found your video. It is actually what I was looking for as very few reviewers go into the technical aspects such as the vrm, capacitor composition etc. This is very important information for overclocking enthusiasts or for those that want to squeeze a little more performance out of a budget build. Great job. Keep up the god work. Subscribed!

Dude I really appreciate your reviews. You're like a buildzoid doing his motherboard overviews but with real motherboards on screen lol

Manual says that "If M2_2 is occupied, PCIE1 will downgrade to x8 mode" It does not say that M2_1 (the gen4 one on top) will cause the PCIE1 to downgrade. So I believe you can run 4 Gen4 m.2s without downgrading the PCIE1 slot.

I have had the M.2 thing explained to me differently. I was told that you don't lose the 16x slot unless you use both the top two M.2 slots.

13:21 If those leds are too bright (and they always are) with power off dot them with a sharpie marker and let it dry. It will dim them by more than half and doesn't hurt anything.

What is your honest opinion on that board compared to msi, asrock, gigabyte ? Do you recommend it ? I want to buy this board for my i7 13700k and undervolt.

[KERO]

Bro how many m.2 ssd`s can i install without losing performance and where?

[everydaysamething]

Is there a driver that was pushed out for this mobo that supports 48gb of RAM per DIMM?

Careful doing BIOS upgrade, there's no flashback feature. Corrupted = diy fix with BIOS flash tool or RMA.

This comes with my prebuilt
It’s has a i9 14900 and 4090
Just wasn’t sure if it was a good MB or not

I really like this review. Good job and thank you.

I was set on getting the asus rog strix b760-A for my build, but only now did I realize that b-series motherboards don't support overclocking. I have been watching video after video on what parts are good for the money, what parts are compatible with others, benchmarks, build guides, everything. Just not one that said I needed a z-series for a 13700K, lol. To be fair, this will be my first build, so I'm bound to not know things and make mistakes.

Atleast with this motherboard I'll actually save a little money, and it still matches the white theme. I have a white lian li 216, AERO 4070 Ti, white PSU and cables, white g.skill memory, and now a white 'camo' motherboard. Now I just need a more budget friendly white AIO, the liquid freezer II only comes in black. Deepcool LS/LT720 seems like a good option for now.

Found this one on discount for 179 euros in my country, worth buying?

[hanswi]

Initially I felt like watching Beavis & Butthead hearing you chuckle 🙂 Anyway - excellent video !

[madhumagar]

Thankyou for your video. I have a question. Where can i connect my DeepCool LT720 aio pump? Can I connect in fan header?

[MyName-boed]

I just bought this yesterday for my new pc build.

[Israeli_Prince]

This is gonna look great in my asus rog helios.

[wolfgangchristl]

Great motherboard. Thanks for the review.

Is there a way to tell, from the hardware, if a board will be suseptable to coil whine? Why are the Z790 Gigabyte boards having coil whine issues?

The MSI z790 Edge Wifi has a PCI 5.0 NVME slot with heat sink on both sides, top and bottom.. so significantly better than this thing. ($250 on sale.. mine was $325 on sale, worth the $75 price difference...) Unfortunately on my new motherboard, it still doesn't cool the bottom of the other 3 NVME slots. When your paying this much.. sounds like you'd have to pay alot more for the EATX premium boards for better cooling on VRMs/NVME..
