- With such a massive price disparity between the cheapest and most expensive motherboards around, I’m often asked just how much difference spending a lot more on a motherboard can make for a gaming PC build. So in this video I’ll be answering just that, by comparing one of the cheapest and most expensive AM5 motherboards and walking you through how to pick the perfect motherboard in 2023.

Answer for 99% of people = not likely
1 flaw I saw in your testing, your cases were different sizes. You had more fans and a water cooler in the ATX case and in the mATX case you had a Air Cooler and less fans! I’m not beating you up for this, as the numbers are close enough to be within the margin of error. However they could make some people seeing the extra frames on the ATX build with a few extra frames think its worth the move expensive MB. I appreciate your videos and reviews.
doubt it, how is a couple degrees going to give 5 more fps ??
@@circleofthytyrantsthermal throttling
As in, maybe the extra degrees on a smaller mb is gonna matter more than a bigger one with better heat dispersion. So testing them at the same temp is a good control. Otherwise I’m with you I don’t think it is going to make that much of a difference
I am fine with my Aorus B550m of $110.00. It has all that I need PCIe 4.0, support all the 3000/5000 Ryzen CPUs and could be pair with all the video cards that my pocket can buy.
Is a Asrock B760 good with a i7 13700 or should i upgrade my motherboard
I don't do overclocking but only single thing is that VRM... Most people don't do overclocking anyway... I think cheap B series Mobo are enough for mid to high range build(i7 cpus).
Funny thing is b550m+5700x setup with ddr4 32gb is the same price as a620m+7500f and ddr5 5200mhz 32gb
And slap in 2tb nvme
All that for $450 each
At the end of the day, the b450m pro still remains true to our hearts.
How's MSI B760M mortar Ddr5 WiFi mobo? Considering it for a $1200 built with i5-13400f
👍🏼
İ am planning to build 7800x3d + 7900 xtx with a b650 tomahawk Mobo. Is this a good combination or should i pick some other Mobo? Planning to use this on just gaming, 4k mostly. Any advice will be appreciated 🙏
I would upgrade to a x670e tomahawk board
@@user-ug3mn8vn1r build sounds perfect just make sure to run dual channel ram, and check for highest ram speed when you are all set
@@ThePEVULSonly need 6000mhz for Ryzen 7000
I just built my PC with an Asrock B870m with an I3100f and with rx 7600 with 32ram at 6000mhz and I get from 120 Fps to 200 must game at 1080p but Im trying to get an asus rog maximus hero z790 with an I9 13900k and a rx 7900 xtx 24gb oc.
Hey Geekawhat) I have an MSI b600m mobo, 750w 80gold psu and i5-12400f and 2x16 spectrix 3600mhz ram. Can i put 4070 into my build?
use pcpart picker
Welp, i just made a combo with b660m pro rs ax with i9 12900k and currently eyeing for 3080ti ? Is it a RIP ? 😢 My first ever pc build
Yup. Definitely if you have i9-12900K, you need to go for the Z690 motherboard. As it comes with more VRMs and CPU overclocking support since you have the factory-unlocked CPU
so why exactly is that fps difference between that two?
The real question for me is, is there a difference in a $700 Z790 and a $300 Z790 when it comes to gaming performance? Disregarding any overclocking capability.
I would never go for the most expensive MB, the mid tier stuff is just better all around without wasting money on something most people don't need.
All white 7900xtx build? 👀
Can someone tell me the best motherboards for 7950x3D? (250-400€)
Msi x670e boards all look so good
Can someone please tel me if a MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS Gaming Motherboard is good for a ryzen 5 5600 and rx 6600 ❤
yes but micro atx mobos aré the same and cheaper , check b550m msi pro vdh
yes@@valentinberrelleza
Thanks I will look now ❤
The i7 13700k only costs $10 more then the amd ryzen 7 7800x3d here in sweden. Which one should I buy? I want to game but also stream sometimes
Depends which one is more important to you 7800x3d is insane for gaming while 13700k is good for gaming and work
@@centenario6677 the i7 13700k beats it in the bench mark tests
@@thesexybeast1868 for what from what i have seen 7800x3d is better most of the time
Also am5 is going to be supported for longer which would potentially allow you to get more use out of your motherboard
So if your going with like a i5 14500 and more energy savings with no oc. Cheap motherboard is not bad. Unless I decide to start oc I guess.
My 7500F and my A620 pair up really well. Both of them cost 300 USD together. When Ryzen 9000 launches, the price will go down even further, AM5 is finally for the masses!
A620 suks tbh i cant overclock
@@sebastian_1569 tbh im not a guy who wants to overclock, im fine with even the minimum AM5. Works just fine for what I need to do
What is the best low cost Motherboard for a ryzen 7700x, DDR5 6000, M.2 SSD, 3 Fan connects, Bluetooth.
In my region the b650 MSI tomahawk board ist the best board I've seen for 200€, you might want to check it out
@synz7297 cool thank you I will take a look
Basically no, you invest more if you want aesthetics, more options when adding things to the board
Could you do a $1500 build with ddr5 and a 4070?
I have r5 7600 asus dual oc white
That's a really good build and I am looking for something similar! Do you think I should go with i5 13400f or r5 7600?
@@nolangirardi r5 7600 is better because the am5 platform it is on will be supported for years to come while 13th gen socket will have a slight refresh but after that you will have to get a new motherboard
@@centenario6677 K, makes sense
I will pick $500 if i have the budget because i will get both astheticelly beautiful board and high vrm capacity... great to be match with ryzen 7 or intel core i9.
I quickly glanced at the thumbnail and for a second I thought it said "How to fuck a motherboard"
Probably carefully.
The 7900 xtc costs $1500 while 4070ti costs $1200 here. Which one is more worth it?
You mean 7900 xtx? Its around 900$ and 4070 ti around 780 $. İt can warry due to location. İf you are a content creator or streamer go with Nvidia.And also for rtx games like Cyberpunk. İf you use for only raw perf gaming, 7900xtx will wipe the floor with 4070ti or even 4080.
@@Debb4h the 4070 ti is 1100$ here in Sweden and the 7900xtx is 1200$. The 4080 is 1600$ and the 4090 is around 2200$.
@@thesexybeast1868 dude those prices are crazy. I got a 7800x3d, x670 tomahawk Mobo and 32 gb ram. I didn't buy a GPU,using the old one for now. Can't afford to buy a GPU at least 2 months. But really want to go for 7900xtx.
@@thesexybeast1868 like i said if you stream, or wanna play ray tracing go with Nvidia. Otherwise go for 7900. Don't know if the prices would drop on black Friday tho.
@@Debb4hu oblivious to what he was asking 💀
Best am5 mobo under 180 dollars
I feel if you don’t overclock on the birds that allow for over locking and testing your games without showing the performance boosts you’re really paying for, is false advertising
I can't even afford a 100$ board.😂😂😂
MSI A520 is less than 70. its DDR4 but I am running 3600mhz RAM on it and it can support up to 4800MHZ and up to 5000 series Ryzen. Meaning you can put Ryzen 5 5800x3d...
Creators need to push for the new platform AM5 because they need to have the content out there already as manufacturers continue to make more products, they will be more eligible for sponors since they are making the content. but AM4 has about 5-6 years of Life left because of how fast some of the components are already.. so go ahead and buy DDR4 platform. I recently built a PC for $240. everything is new and its all DDR4. I do not have a GPU but the Ryzen 4000 series APU I am using is enough to watch 4K video and play genshin. its still fast by todays standards and I can do everything lightning fast. I might not be able to play starfield but like I said. components will only get cheaper as time goes and right now is the best time to build on am4.
Wow! I'm impressed. this comment is much better than other pushing new component for higher price.ty ty ^_^
bro u can use a i7 12600+ or a i9 something on a 650 or 670 board wtf u on about lol
stay the hell away from the Rog strix X670E -E if looking for a borad to die on you with in 20 hours then go for the Rog
If you are on budget just go with asrocks. But if you are splurging go with Asus 😂
Even if you are splurging go anything but asus.
First
Nobody cares.
