      The x570 motherboards were expensive at launch . But you had x470 and b450 to fall back on. You shouldn't launch a new platform without cheap motherboards to entice people to want to adopt it. I think AMD is pulling an Nvidia move and want to clear out ryzen 5000 stock.

      This also bugged me a *lot* so I went reading on why this was happening, and there appear to be a few reasons divided between groups of 'because they think this is the price they will make the most money at' and 'some parts are legitimately more expensive since this is a new platform'. The former category doesn't need more elaboration but in the second category we have the following: 1) There's apparently a new type of power delivery architecture which needs a new family of power phase controllers that are brand new with this generation. Their price will come down over time, but for now they are relatively expensive. There's also the 'forward compatibility' requirement that all the boards need high power headroom just in case the next generation or next next generation of AM5 CPUs need it. Third up we have the new socket and retention mechanism which are new to the market and also need time to come down in cost. Next up using PCIe 5.0 might require new substrate materials for signal integrity rather than the old standard FR4 fiberglass so the board production process may be more complex with higher materials costs. Finally we have all the extra junk we don't need like LED vomit, 'heatsinks' that are built for looks not performance, M.2 'heatsinks', On-board WiFi 6E (helpful for some I guess), and so on.

      Edit 2022.11.27: Finally went with an MSI X670E Carbon myself, which after careful review seemed like the better choice for me (I actually don't need most of the extras of the ProArt, but I do need as much PCIe bandwidth as I can get, and the MSI is better).
      The ASUS ProArt 670 looks like a better Carbon to me too, with 10Gb+2.5Gb Ethernet and dual USB4 (Thunderbolt 3 ready) and a nice DisplayPort over USB-C piggyback on the backboard (it has DisplayPort _in_, letting you plug your dGPU to it and output video via USB-C). Dual x8 PCIe slots too. Same MSRP as the Carbon last I checked.
      The ProArt 650 is actually not that bad either, downgrading to PCIe 4.0 and 2.5Gb+1Gb NICs and no USB4 for like two-thirds the price of the 670 ($399).
      It's just that I tend to hate ASUS on the software side (and I run Linux so there's that too) and I'd love Buildzoid's input on those boards which seem like the most workstation-oriented to me, among the entire AM5 lineup (all brands included).

    The Carbons do seem to hit the sweet spot for features vs. price. Kinda sucks that $400-500 is now that spot, though. Looks like they're gearing the B650s to actually be more budget oriented and priced accordingly, giving good separation to the X670s. I also rather like how they don't have too many boards in the AM5 lineup. Some manufacturers just go nuts on boards, and to what end?

  • @ivan.rusanov
    @ivan.rusanov Před rokem +5

    All valid points, but the problem I had with other vendors' "cheap" B650 boards is they don't have SPDIF. Two things that are important for me are Wi-Fi and SPDIF. Got the Tomahawk due to these reasons and the scarce availability in my country. But it's ridiculous that if you also want a port80 display, you have to pay 500 euro for a board. Not to mention dedicated power and reset buttons on the PCB... When port80 have become a "premium" feature? The Gigabyte B650 AORUS PRO AX seems to fit my current needs, but it is not available on the local market.

  • @marsovac

    I did a lot of overclocking of memory on an ASRock B450 Fatality itx-ac. I never had to clear the CMOS. If it doesn't boot, just reset it three times when it attempts to and it will revert to stock bios settings with disabled xmp next time. The BIOS settings remain, just the boot is without them and you need to save and exit to attempt another overclocked boot. That's for the ASRock that you said "didn't even attempt". Don't know for others.

    When you say that a 6layer pcb won't be good at memory overclocking, do you mean that it is required ( 8+ layers) when pushing IMC limits ( like going over 6000 with zen 4 for example) or do you mean always? Like, if zen 5 comes out and the imc can actually handle 8000 mhz kinda easly, do you think the 6 layer can actually limit the imc or you can hit 8000mhz if the imc is actually good?
    Also thanks for pointing this stuff out, im looking for a good looking but also good oc b650 board and seeing these prices on the boards i like is just devastating, at this point it's a matter of quality vs aesthetics which ihmo shouldn't really be a thing when buying a 370 euros board..
    Hopefully the others brands will do a better job

    I can't wait for your rambling about the Asus SM5 boards.
    Honestly, if you're going to spend $480 on a x670E Carbon, you'd probably be better off with almost any of Asus' 670E boards, or even their 650E. Yes, you'll lose the postcode, the 6SATAs and the x8/x8 PCIe, but the Strix 670E-A is $60 cheaper at $420. The Asus B650E boards (E and F) are a bit more hobbled, but are also only $350 and $300, and better than any of MSI's B6550 boards. And I think that probably the best value x670E mobo out there is the TUF x670E at only $330.
    I was planning to buy that, until I found an open box Strix x670E-A at Micro Center for $357, minus their $20 off combo deal with a CPU (and also a free 32Gb of DDR5-5600 RAM.)
    Interestingly, though, Asus only markets most of their x670 boards as capable of 6400 RAM, even though the STRIX x670E-A has 8 layer PCB. I'll be interested in hearing your take on that.

    The AMD Wi-Fi 6E you'll see on a lot of X670(E) / B650(E) boards is a product of a partnership with MediaTek. AMD p/n RZ608 or RZ616, MediaTek p/n MT7921 / MT7922 respectively. I believe Gigabyte and other mobo manufacturers also released new PCB revisions of B550 & X570(S) boards with the RZ608 or RZ616 instead of the older Intel AX200 / AX210.
    It should be pretty decent Wi-Fi, although Intel will always be the gold standard to measure by.

    I was gonna get 2x16gb 6000 cl30, but since it's am5, I would be open to OC them slightly or even upgrade them in a couple of years or so (alongside with the last x3d cpu), just to squeeze some extra performance IF the benchmarks till then look an actual uplift in gaming/apps etc.
    Anyway, since this video is 1 year, and since buildzoid expressed some kind of doubts, I wonder, if I get the tomahawk, I will FOR SURE not be able to go beyond 6000 (lets say 6600) ? Or did I understand wrong?

    For Intel, MSI has QVLs for the PRO Z790-A that go up to 7200MHz and that's a 6 layer while an 8 layer isn't any higher in the QVL at least though I'm sure it can go higher, the official kits just don't exist yet.
    All of their AMD stuff also has "probably won't go above 6200MHz" caveat anyway, which wasn't there until pretty recently so they must have been challenged on it. From that perspective, I can understand just not bothering down the stack though they should also remove all the references to 6600MHz pretty much everywhere anyway. Definitely looks bad.

    This may sound weird, but the reason I generally avoid MSI boards is their cumbersome BIOS update implementation. To update your BIOS, you have to restart, go into the BIOS, select the M-Flash option, get prompted about it, then the mobo will restart again, and after half a minute, go into the BIOS update environment. Then, until recently, if no USB flash drives were attached to the system, the BIOS update module would pop up an error message (no flash drives detected), giving you only the option of exiting. AFAIK, MSI is the only motherboard manufacturer that forces you to use an external flash drive to update your BIOS. Even worse, its BIOS updates take forever, increasing the chances of something going wrong (I'm mainly talking about power outages here - not every board has bios flashback, or a chip that can easily be reprogrammed with a SOIC-8 clip). Lastly, they don't allow downgrading to earlier BIOS versions, at least not easily. So if for example you flash a beta bios hoping it will fix a problem, and you run into a whole new, more serious problem, you're stuck with it, unless you use an SPI programmer.

      While I get it, it's still something you do once or twice in the mobo's lifespan. MSI has so many other good things going for it.

    My only guess to why the power delivery is so overkill is so 3 to 4 years down the line you can drop a much newer CPU in and it might require the power. That way you do not have to upgrade your motherboard when the time comes. Same reason there is a gen 5 pcie x16 graphics slot when their are no gen 5 cards

Waiting on a new board to try and eliminate it as a variable. My take-away: POSTcode LEDs are like insurance and worth paying for. The vast majority of time they're a waste of photons, but invaluable if the damned thing won't POST!

    EDIT : In addition to what you said @ 1:01:37 , one thing that I've been looking for in mATX boards (my favorite form factor) is that the top PCIe slot would be aligned with the screw hole on the left, to leave enough breathing room for the GPU. The add-on card choking off the GPU is also why I value built-in wifi/bluetooth and prefer m.2 slots over PCIe slots, especially on mATX boards.

    By the way, you need those additional layer for PCIe Gen 5 which most of the MSI motherboards doesn't feature beside some x670 and x670E. I think I heard the AIBs during the launch event mentioning it. If you don't need to reroute the signals thru PCB layers for your IO and your lines, then having that much layers doesn't change much. Matter of fact, the temperatures on the B650 Tomahawk are absolutely amazing for the money.

    35:05 That's probably because AMD have told us that Zen 4 doesn't really scale with memory past 6000mhz, much like how Zen 3 could, depending on your chip, have hard time taking advantage of anything past 3800. And even that much was already overclocking the infinity fabric. So there's not much point in memory manufacturers providing EXPO kits with more than 6ghz, because it won't actually provide much advantage to the buyer anyway.
    Not that that's stopped them before.
