It's pretty incredible seeing my memory running at such high clocks, asrock did a good job with their bios!
You have exactly what I purchased. Putting mine together is so super helpful. Thank you!
dude i bought this mother board because of your videos. Your explanations have been so thorough i started go understand how the lanes get allocated. Im getting my build done on the 12th ill be sure to post some videos and stuff
I want to thank the author of the channel for being so attentive to the comment section. I've learned so much just by reading the posted questions and the answers you provided. It was especially cool to read the phrase "content creation workstation" in the description. I use Blender, DaVinci Resolve Studio, and UE5 with Linux Mint. It seems that the 7950X3D is specifically tailored for this kind of work. I can't wait to experience what it's like to not have to "wait" on my machine anymore. Thanks for providing such a thorough walk-through.
I was just trying to figure out where to put the cable and what cables go where he skipped that part 😂
Yea. Mine doesn’t show the hard drives
Same, I was needing like the full first-timer breakdown
if you could do a video showing what options your selecting in the bios that would be great! just bought this board and im wanting to oc a little bit
Could you please share the screenshots of the RAM timings in the BIOS? Need help to install the same 96GB ram kit on ASUS x690e Hero motherboard.
I''m on the older "7a" AGESA (BIOS 1.24), with 2x16GB G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 6000 CL32 (EXPO) - never had the long training or problems with sleep or anything really... and I was expecting some of it...
Hi mate, great insight and review. What bios version did you start off with? Did you have to flash to get dad cpu support to work?
The motherboard originally had 1.03 which doesn't work with the X3D chips. I had to update the bios in order to get it working. The motherboard supports the bios flashback feature so it can be done without a CPU. In my case, I used the 7700x so I could get into the bios then do the update then swap to the 7950X3D.
Maybe it's because I'm still dialing in my RAM OC with pretty tight timings, but on my B650E Taichi the training times are still loooooong. Actually just yesterday I thought I had froze on boot but it ended up on the login screen approximately 17 minutes after restart. That was an extreme outlier, but it's still several minutes every time. I'm sure it'll be better after I turn on memory context restore but I'm hunting down 100% stability first.
If your running the RAM above 6000mhz it will take longer to train the memory. However, MCR should cache the results so that it doesn't have to do that with each subsequent boot. I have found that if you use sleep mode then sometimes after several weeks if you reboot the PC it might retrain the memory which will take longer than typical.
@@GameTechReviews Can Agesa 1007c (or newer) allow these motherboards to run 6800Mt/s (rather than 6400) from G.skill?
@@Serene1618-ef1kx Yes, in fact it allows running 8000Mt/s.
Just wire your case reset button to clr_cmos pins. Thats handier then mobo onboard buttons anyway.
I've got the 7800x3d with this mb. I had a blast looking for ram. At the end I went for corsair 6000 mhz 30-36-36-77 timings which is a decent kit. From what I saw on asrock's official site you can put 7600+ on it and it should work, but for me 6000mhz is enough. it is 1000 more than the CPU can do :D I had a really bad time with XMP profile on my x99 5820k setup with a quad channel g.skill 3000mhz memory that I ran at 2400 because the 125 ticks messes up my oc. Parts for the 7800x3d will arrive tonight. I have the 7900xtx nitro+ to go along as well. Cannot wait for high fps (compared to 7900xtx + 5820k @4.4ghz)
Got the 7800x3d as well for $360. Should be building this friday
Bought the same thing a few days ago, installing all on the weekend!
Im waiting for this mb, 7800x3d, nitro+ xtx but i went for the cl30 6khz ripjaws ram. Ram stability seems to depend a lot on power stability coming from the mb, and this board seems pretty good.
I have new sata cables but they aren’t recognizing the hhd
Don't know if you noticed, but you're running the IMC at half speed, that's why it was so easy to get 6400 to work out of the box, it would probably do 7200 as well. You need to put UCLK=MCLK (1:1) in bios, I think asrock automatically set's it to UCLK=MCLK/2 (1:2) if you select anything above 6000. You're losing tons of performance this way, 7200 (1:2) is on par or worse than 6000 (1:1) on Zen4.
Hi! Thx for your videos! I just bought 7950X3D and Asrock B650E Taichi Lite but i don't know if i go for Trident Z5 RGB, DDR5-6400, CL32, Intel XMP 3.0 - 64 GB Dual-Kit (CL 32-39-39-102) or Trident Z5 Neo RGB, DDR5-6000, CL30, AMD EXPO - 64 GB Dual-kit (30-40-40-96), can i have your help? The first run at 1,35v and second at 1,4v Thx
Any regrets moving from the X670 Aorus Elite AX to the X670e Steel Legend? Currently trying to decide between the two boards right now
Steel Legend has all the PCIE Gen 5 lanes since it's X670E. It also comes with a useful GPU anti-sag bracket and lots of RGB. Overall, it's the better value unless you need the PCIE Gen 3 x2 slot on the Elite AX for a 10gb NIC.
I am inclining for this setup to pair with a 7900XTX for gaming at 3440x1440p and some casual editing work.
It's very good. Probably the best value for a great all-rounder PC.
@@GameTechReviews I've seen it has everything I want. The price here in Romania is around 330-350 euros. The 7950x3d I can get it for around 730 euros and the RAM is 150 euros. While I am inclining on this, 7800x3d is 420 euro. 310 euro difference is there and for gaming, there is no difference, but for extra stuff, it is. My cooling solution is an old x61 kraken which I am not sure it is a good idea to continue using. I've had it since early 2016. If I pay for the cooling as well, it starts getting expensive as the 7950xd runs hotter and needs better cooling to get performance out of it.
is it worth using the beta bios for extra ram performance? considering im using a b650m aorus elite and a 6400mhz cl32 kit (prob a-die)
Yes
first!
Can you do a stability test on 6000 cl30 (30-40-40-96) with this setup, pls?
Why would I need to do that if I'm already running the RAM at a higher speed? (6400)
Hey! Just a quick question. I own a 3060 might get a better card in a year or two.
But anyway I'm wondering where would my card go best in? The higher or lower GPU slot? I heard the lower one stops bottleneck? So is that the best place or not?
I'm assuming you have the same motherboard shown in the video. If so, the correct answer is the top slot. It's the only one that has full x16 lanes.
hey i see youre using xmp rated ram for an amd chip thats cool i didnt know you could. i actually have a question if thats ok! i bought the same board and the 7800x3d but i wasnt sure which ram to get. i bought the
G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series AMD EXPO 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000) Desktop Memory Model F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5NR. Timing 30-38-38-96
CAS Latency 30
for like 111 bucks, and the
TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 Ram 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz PC5-48000 CL30 30-36-36-76
Desktop Memory Module Ram for 600 700 Series Chipset XMP 3.0 Ready White - FF4D532G6000HC30DC01
for 100, but im not sure which one is better and i should keep for my system? ill return the other one back
Both are Hynix RAM. Keep which ever one you like the looks of better. But the EXPO RAM was validated to work with the motherboard so there is also that to keep in mind.
yeah thats the thing i do really like the look of the white ram and it seems the last timing number is lower which is nice? and its cheaper. but its not rated for expo so it might have issues? idk. also the g.skill ram is harder to return since newegg kinda sucks with that you know. im racking my head over what to do honestly. im sure either will be fine but i dont wanna make a mistake lol@@GameTechReviews
Hi, cool video! My last PC build was around 12 years ago! I'm still using the same PC today... still runs strong, but not able to render multiple 4K video streams like I want. A lot has changed since my last build! I just bought the same motherboard, and CPU. But can I ask you about the M.2 slots? I bought 2 drives... a 4TB for my C: windows, and a 2 TB for an extra drive that will hold all files for whatever video project I am working on. What about the speed of the M.2 slots... are they all the same speed? Is only 1 slot fast, and the other slots slower?? Any thoughts on how I should set that up? Thanks, Tim
The top M.2. slot is PCIE Gen 5 capable. The other 3 are all PCIE Gen 4.
@@GameTechReviews Thank you sir!
Yo, Does it work if I can get a 4 sticks of ram? Like 4x 16? Cuz I heard its a lil worse if its 4 ram sticks [like a Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 CL30 64GB (4x16GB)?] Ik u said you have to train it like let it sit there for some time, but I'm kinda new to this and hoping it'll go well into my future first build
I've covered 4 sticks of DDR5 in some recent videos. Look for the videos from a few months back.
Does Intel affected with long DDR5 Training time especially with big RAM size?
Yes, it does take longer than DDR4. I plan to do a video showcasing DDR5 high density RAM on intel soon.
you can connect all 4 m.2 without it being an issue for the pcie lanes?
Yes.
So far are there any stability issues with 7950X3d on this board? I was running a x670e Pro RS with the Trident Z NEO (F5-6000J3238G32GX2-TZ5NR, although the motherboard was not listed on the RAM QVL), and I was getting random crashes (STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION on chrome, and BSOD) even without XMP. Thinking if I should switch to another RAM kit or change the mobo.
That sounds like an unstable RAM overclock. I have no issues and I've been running 96gb at 6400mhz on this board without any issues.
I think so too, but I have also gotten crashes even without XMP enabled (BSOD is less often though), so I am also not sure if it is a compatibility thing. The crashes and BSOD does not happen after a recent BSOD reboot thought, but I am still suspicious of how stable the system is
How reliable is the Asrock X670E Steel Legend compared to the previous history of failing Asrock motherboards? I would like a great motherboard for gaming and have excellent sound quality (I have some hearing loss - born with it) but I'm stuck on what to get that is reliable and would last up to +5 years. Plus, I cannot wait for the next video on overclocking the memory and CPU via curve optimizer in future content on this particular CPU and RAM.
This is my 1st time using an ASRock motherboard but my impression of the Steel Legend is that it's one of the best value for money motherboards. It includes everything necessary to build a high-end PC.
ASRock X670E Steel Legend is very popular motherboard and no doubt it is a good choice, server grade low loss 8 layer PBC, 16x60A powers stages, japanese capacitors, PCIe 5.0 for both gpu and nvme, realtek LAN(less issues than on 2.5G Intel modules), ALC1220(that's a plus compared to ALC4080/4082 -> usb issues) and it's fine, it's not on the level of external dacs, but that's expected. With 8 layer PCB AM5 boards Asrock did really good job, they are also often first to publish bioses with new agesa, bioses itself are OK, don't have the issues Asus has.
@@GameTechReviews Cool. Thanks for the reply. 👍
@@Kestrelms Thanks for the information. 👍
@@Kestrelms Yeah, they are the only ones that currently have the latest 1007b beta available on their website for pretty much all of their AM5 motherboards.
I couldn’t locate 9 screws for the motherboard attaching to the case. Does 4 work? I only found 4 of them in the package.
No all 9 screws are recommended to secure the motherboard to the case. They also act as grounding points. I wouldn't build the PC with only 4.
is an m.2 ssd that comes with a heat sync compatible with this board with its own m.2 cover / heat sync system? thanks?
See the section in the video showing How to install an NVMe PCIE Gen 5 M.2 drive
Was bios update needed to run 96gb ram in 2 sticks? I cannot find any 2*48 kits on support list for this mobo sadly
Yes. One thing that isn't shown in this video was the default out-of-box BIOS that this motherboard shipped with was very old. It shipped with 1.11 which is from 10-25-2022. I had to update the bios to the latest version by installing extra 5200mhz RAM that I had as well as swap to the Ryzen 7 7700x because the bios was so old it didn't recognize the 7950x3d. I highly recommend updating to the latest 1.28 bios as it makes running 6400mhx 96gb very easy.
@@GameTechReviews you should be able to update the bios without using ram and cpu since it has bios flashback
@@TheOlidos The problem was the 48gb DIMMs wouldn't work with the older bios. I still needed to use another set of RAM that I just so happened to have available so I can see this being a rare pitfall that someone else could run into if they only had the 48gb ram.
@@GameTechReviewshow do I update?
Can you please tell me what are the temps for your cpu while gaming using that air cooler I thought that the 7900 x and 7950x needed to be liquid cooled.
In the 50-60s while gaming. They don't need to be liquid cooled especially the X3D chips as they don't use that much power.
what do you think would be the best cpu air cooler for the 7900 x want to keep it cool as possible please and thank you.

thnx for your help@@GameTechReviews
Hi, please which one is better motherboard ?
( Asrock b650e taichi lite ) or ( Asrock X670E steel legend ) ?
If you need the extra chipset for additional connectivity the X670E Steel Legend will be better. Otherwise, the B650E Taichi Lite is an excellent choice that includes the post code debug LED.
One memory ddr5 works in dual channel.
im between this ashrock steel legends x670e and asus rog strix b650e-e. What do you think between theese two? which is better?
I have the B650E-E with a 7800x3d using QVL Gskill 6000cl30 with expo ON, and im having pcie problems with my 4080, sometimes it get stuck on 1.1, and need to restart the pc several times to get unstuck...AVOID ASUS
Im switching to a X670E Steel Legend
X670e is a higher end chipset and includes more connectivity. If they are similar in price then definitely the Steel Legend. However the B650e-e includes the post code debug LEDs.
The Asus B650e-e is not really good in theory. It uses a problematic Intel ethernet chipset and problematic 4080 Audio chip. All the 4 SATA ports don't run natively but by 2 Asmedia Chips which even cut down on bandwidth.
Can we make 32*4 DIMMS of ddr 5 work above default 3600 MT/s?
Yes, that was covered in a video back in February. czcams.com/video/61fbg4WEBSQ/video.html There is also a new video coming soon looking at 48*4 DIMMs.
Hi, i am building a new gaming and generative ai pc for which i am stuck between asus x670e-a and asrock x670e steel legend.
Basically the build is on white theme and i not able to pick the perfect motherboard till now. Everything is ready just the cpu and motherboard are still not final.
Please if you can recommend me something.
The Steel Legend has been an excellent value. I have not used the other one so I can't comment on it but I've been happy with the X670E Steel Legend.
Can’t decide between the steel legend or Carrara for a white build!!!
Steel Legend is the best value. The Carrara includes seven-segment display as well as USB4.
@@GameTechReviews thanks , ya I’m more stuck on it being fully white and having power for a few future generations
Cooler covers the fan? That's such bs
I cant get 6000mhz with 64gigs ram only 32gigs u know why? I got the same mobo as you but i have the 7800x3d
Are you on the latest bios?
@@GameTechReviews yes
totally normal for ddr5 at the moment, unless it is hynix A die which I believe can go 6000-6400 with 4x sticks depending on your board and how lucky you are with your memory controller. (m die, samsung and micron memory dies struggle to get above 5600 even on intel 700 series boards) it is partially the motherboard's fault and partially the cpu's memory controller. If you want super technical info on this search up ram topology and ram ranks videos by Actually hardcore overclocking (long videos but lots of helpful info if u care)
also what kit of ram are you using?
@@sparklingion I'm using the 32gigkit from corsair vengeance 6000mhz
@@SwerveNation depends what version u have, the cl36 and cl40 6000mhz models are quite bad binned dies and i have seen issues with people even getting them to run at expo/xmp timings with those kits you most likely cannot run 6000mhz or higher with 4x sticks of ram. if it is the cl30-32 6000mhz kits it should run 4x kits at 6000mhz with no issues, but that isn't always the case and you might need to tweak settings and timings.
Skipped the entire power connectors all together.
what is your psu?.
The entire part list is in the video description.
@@GameTechReviews looks like a massive psu, how about your voltages, are pretty stables? how hard drop yours voltages?, im considering some psus. this cuuld be one of them.
@@JomarsYT powerspec is a decent psu overall, keep in mind they are mainly only sold at microcenter (edit: didn't know they are sold on amazon, saw the link in desc!)
other psu's you can consider: Seasonic focus gx, be quiet system/dark/pure power 12-13, super flower leadex iii and leadex VII xg, corsair rmx, msi MPG AGF are good picks overall in my opinion, just choose whatever best fits your budget they all have their own pros and cons but all have 10 year warranty from my knowledge (in the US) and are not going to just explode don't worry
@@sparklingion im looking the asus rog thor 2 1200w actually, im the "looks" rgb guy (no homo)
@@JomarsYT I don't hate that psu but hate the price of it, but there really arent many good psus with rgb in that high of watt range. So i mean, up to you. That psu is quite well built overall and will last a long time
what is your build btw? I usually recommend to just get a psu that is going to fit your current and probably next build and runs under 80-85% (max) of it's wattage. Most powersupplies are at their peak efficiency at between 60-80% of their rated power draw and as long as you are in or under that range that will generally allow allow for a long lasting psu

You can run 192gb but not at high speeds. If you just need capacity it will work at 4800mhz just fine.
@@GameTechReviews Thx for answer.
Would I get faster speeds on a different motherboard for normal work? is it simply not possible with this moment/generation of processors?
@@przemekn.8814 192gb is possible to run at higher speeds but requires a deep understanding of the advanced settings in the motherboard. See my video on 192gb DDR5 on AM5 at 6000.
