      ​@candyman buy as cheap as you can. Build entry level, sub $400 PCs. There's so many kids in the $200-300 range who just want a computer but "can't afford it" (aka not really willing to do the research). Figure out which cheap cases come with ARGB and aren't a total bitch to build in for under $60. Buy like 5. Look out for the cheapest deals, only buy on sale (RAM, SSD), get coolers from China.
      Use the opportunity to teach yourself. Overclock RAM and tune timings, push that i3 10100F to the edge. Get a good deal on an i7 4790k? Buy a delidding kit, some liquid metal and push it to 5Ghz - buy some DDR4 2400 and push it to 2666 or beyond. Benchmark Fortnite, Valorant, Minecraft, GTA5 or whatever is popular in your region. Give as much info as you can, let people know you're a hobbyist and build some trust on local marketplaces.

      It's the distance to the CPU that matters most. Layers can be used to achieve this and as such has mistakenly been used as an indicator of better performance, but it could also be used to fix a less than optimal design. You could end up with worse board because you focused on layers.....

    Difference between ASUS X670E-F and E-A is the E-F and top E-E Strix boards get Asynchronous clock overclocking with an extra clock generator. So that's where that $20 difference goes between E-A to E-F lol.

    Any chance you'll take a look at the Asus Proart X670E Creator Wifi? In my digging it appears to have the features (minus styling and RGB) of the $700+ motherboards but comes in at $500.

    This one is so great, I really love it. However, the one motherboard that I was putting my eye on Asus ProArt X670E-CREATOR WIFI isn't included. :D It has a reasonable price point with features I need like two ethernet ports and wifi 6e and thunderbolt. It doesn't have some whistles but I don't really need more than that. Great effort though!

    I thought there was going to be a performance comparison as well. ASUS board have a feature that allows Ryzen 7000 CPUs to boost past 5.5GHz in an all-core load that is not supported anywhere else, as far as I know. Similarly, ASUS has memory timing profiles for all DDR5 ICs that are, from my experience, up to 20% faster than the EXPO profiles. I believe AsRock also has something similar. Are you guys planning a follow up to this video with features like that? Or would that be just ridiculously too much work? I know 22 motherboards is a huge amount.

      Pricing might be possibly fair but, MOST people probably don't need to be paying for that many NvMe slots (3-4+), and that few expansion PCIE slots. Look at Threadripper PRO motherboards right number of slots way overpriced for just that!
      For those prices $500+ I would like a lot more features than JUST NvMe slots!
      The MSI Godlike's price of $1000+ is even worse it is competing directly with Threadripper PRO motherboards which have waaaaaay more PCIE Slots, and THAT is just silly!

Given it has the 2 PCI-E 5.0 slots and 10G Ethernet and tons of I/O connectors it seems a reasonable alternative @ a midrange price point ($500 at the time of this post) for those of us that abhor RGB with every fiber of our being.🤓

    Thanks for the comparisons, its a shame you never got a hold of (or ASUS never sent you) the ASUS X670E ProART Creator Wifi board, as it offers a far better price/features over the other high-end boards in the video (400-700 range) and from my own benchmarking with a 7900X is rock solid and cool running.
    My HWBot benchmarking results using the Corsair H150i Elite Capellix (prior version to the AIO used in your testing) and the same case albeit the airflow version are up there competing with custom loops and LN2 setups and those benchmarks were using out of the box settings so I could compare against any UEFI tweaks I make down the road.
