i discovered this brand years ago because i was specifically looking for a white motherboard. i personally like the color design, but because i couldnt really find any reviews on it, i couldnt convince myself to buy it. glad to see a big creator giving it a chance and sharing its existence with everyone
Because Bios software is controlled by US and they're not providing support and updates to Chinese companies due to unfair trade restriction. It's normal for G7 companies do not want non controlled countries to compete with them
Absolutely love the review! I can find reviews/info for all the major brands all day long but very little in the way of these newer brands. Would love to see more on Colorful, Yeston, etc.
@@Hanssupansnow yes not new (new to me) but very under represented in popular tech youtube channels. I hope to see more of this instead of trying to translate other language reviews :)
That is a very unique looking color scheme on the motherboard. It actually somewhat matches that case behind you with the wooden front. Seems like they need to work more on their quality control?
Colorful is a well-known brand in Asia-Pacific region, I'm currently using GTX 1070 card from Colorful iGame Lineup. But the only problem I and other colorful hardware owner is proper support from their own website. I'm buying this GPU used (Colorful iGame GTX 1070 U-TOP) and I cant find any GPU match in their own website, I only found it on TechPowerUp.
Thank you for this comment. I've been searching for some itx motherboard with some newest features and great price locally and it seems a great choice, but never heard of this brand. The review and this specific comment might encourage me to bet on the item.
@@Caamila94 My pleasure! yeah, the only problem on Colorful products is suboptimal support on their website, anything else is barely significant for the whole experience
Colorful is a Chinese brands, mainly selling on the Asian markets, thought they have been there for quite long, but personally they're not very well supported. seem like they're trying to branch out. i'd say they need lots of improvements still...
My Gigabyte Z170 came with one of those front panel connectors!! Every mobo should come with one of those little doodads. You probably know by now that Newegg has it.
Colorful Gpus came to my country 3 years ago; they are good and cheaper than other popular brands. Recently, the mobo came, and I hope it will give a good performance too.
I remember seeing one of colorful CVN mobo but different model it's rather cool, it have the same white board but it have active cooling for bios maybe idk, it's just so different and unique from any mobo i've seen and yeah it's hard to find but it's really cool
Happy New Year 🎉 🎉🎉 Looking forward to another informative 2023. Appreciate your video's and the time and effort you go into fully explaining either your review or build.
Enjoyed the review :-) This Mobo is a tad rough around the edges so to speak... However, having more brands available "when you can find them lol" will help keep thus market on their toes in price and quality. Cheers - Jass.
Yeah I only recently come to hear about Colorful, since they seem to mostly sell on the Asian marked, and not so much in EU, and more specifically in my area. They seem to do a lot of white ish color scheme for Mobo, ram and gpu's, compared to many other.
True. I was just commenting in the Fractal North video about how I'd love to match that case with my newly acquired Keyboardio Model 100 with that keyboard's wood case. A matching motherboard would be the icing on the cake, I guess, though what the insides of the computer looks like doesn't matter so much to me. I'd like the Fractal North in a full tower configuration, but might consider getting one anyways to put the parts of an old system into which doesn't need as much internal space and showcase that system while keeping my workhorse system under my desk.
It will have to wait till the end of Jan coz there's some more stuff coming out the beginning of Jan and don't want to make that many update videos... :)
@@theTechNotice nice to hear that they are coming, thank you! Yeah, and I still don't see that many PSUs with native 12vhpwr support... @Gigabyte_Global hope we'll get Z790 Aero *D* as well, or else we need to request ProArt White Edition from @ASUS
The 5v is ARGB not RGB…just in case u didn’t know. Also, u called this mobo a Z690. It’s obv a Z790…it says it not only right on the box but on the mobo as well, but yea, Z790, NOT Z690.
Useful video, but I really need a video on best GPU, memory, for AMD 12 core… . Really hard to get a handle on GPU offerings. Could buy now or wait a month, maybe two… .
Which motherboard would you recommend between these two: MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR5, or ASUS PRIME Z790-A WIFI DDR5 for Intel i5-13600k? Enjoy your videos. Thanks!
Not really. There are definitely motherboards and chipsets that are equipped more for creators and workstations than for gaming and general use. Thunderbolt support and a 10Gbps NIC being chief among them. Now, this specific motherboard is definitely not a workstation motherboard, but Asus ProArt and Gigabyte Aero are 100% productivity boards.
@@jordanjack4629 yeah sure but at that point u get to the ltt level. where u have a huge team huge production which means they already know their stuff so labeling everything creator doesnt make sense
@@gugugaga42069 There are plenty of people who are in the production scene who know absolutely nothing about hardware. Since you brought up LTT just look at a lot of them. Some of them are reasonably techy, but look at some of their editors. Many of them also use Mac systems in their free time, which also adds a lot of variability. Being knowledgeable about software and being knowledgeable about hardware are completely different things. I was in computer engineering, so I know. Electrical engineering (hardware) and computer science (software) are very different from each other. You can be an editor or a videographer and use a premium, decked out rig and not know anything about the PC you're running.
@@jordanjack4629 i respect the effort you put into this. i still think its a lil too much to upload everything creator rated its kinda general knowledge for ex that this 6core cpu runs games and editing very well. covering the whole thing rather than saying "Creator" and continuing to give out general knowledge kinda missleading and unesesery
Hmm. It sounds like a biased review. Based on no single argument that those products are nowhere to be found. They are one of the biggest manufacturers in China on GPU’s since 1996. So the market of China/Asia is way bigger than anything else on the market 😊. May be you can test it just more neutral and more profound next time. What I want to see in reviews of motherboards is technical information. How to use the sata and pcie slots. What are the best set ups. For instance the Asus Creator isn’t that a good board for raid setups because it is limited in its setup, and so on. Thx. Have a nice new year 🎉every one.
Thanks for your comment! Not sure where you're based, but let's say you were based in China, and there's not a single shop where you can buy it only on Best Buy Canada for example, it would raise some questions about returns, warranty etc... and you'd probably default to something that they sell locally in China, wouldn't you?
so you read my thread on SFF and the NR200P in teal/white powder coated internals and how this motherboard should be ITX as its like obvious. now this MB getting talked about?
My brain is so trained to say z690 hahah, need to get used to the NEW hardware released. I also struggle to say the 40 series Nvidia GPUs... I keep defaulting to 3090...
If you can pick the errors in quality right off the bat one wonders about their quality control....it's such a shape to ship out a product like that...most of all to someone who will review it! Gosh!
i was thinking of shooting for this to make an interstellar themed PC, but i forgot its from aliexpress. who knows what come in the box when it arrives at my door step. too many nightmare stories which people got scammed buying GPUs.
The way they used English phrases screams "Chinese brand" and after I checked - yes, they are. Not necessarily a bad thing, but Chinese designs are often hit or miss.
I tell you these creator motherboards are starting to look like NASA manufactured them. If I walk into a PC shop to look at it the alarms will go off 🤣🤣🤣
I would never buy an off-brand motherboard. A case or fan I'd be willing to risk, but not the key components. Looks like they're selling that motherboard in various Asian markets, such as Thailand, China, etc. It's bound to be quite difficult to break into the market in Western countries where their name isn't well known. Personally, the only three companies I've ever bought motherboards from (at least within the past 20 years) are Asus, Gigabyte, and Supermicro. I won't buy any MSI products for personal reasons, and I might consider ASRock if there was a compelling reason to. I guess EVGA might be ok, but seems they're marketed to gamers, not creators or other professionals. Anything else and it's just not worth it to me to take a chance. I'd even be willing to pay double to get a well respected brand I can trust. Even a few hours of down time due to a motherboard problem is going to wipe out any savings, and if the down time is over many days, then the amount of lost money becomes ridiculous compared to the savings.
i discovered this brand years ago because i was specifically looking for a white motherboard. i personally like the color design, but because i couldnt really find any reviews on it, i couldnt convince myself to buy it. glad to see a big creator giving it a chance and sharing its existence with everyone
The one flaw with colorful has always been the bios support. Hopefully that's starting to change.
It's a Chinese company... Need I say more?
You buy it, that means your "support" is over.
Good luck.
Because Bios software is controlled by US and they're not providing support and updates to Chinese companies due to unfair trade restriction. It's normal for G7 companies do not want non controlled countries to compete with them

It’s not a new brand 😊. They exists since 1996 and are a big player in the Chinese market for GPU’s.
@hans, are you working for Colorful? 😊🤔
@@Hanssupansnow yes not new (new to me) but very under represented in popular tech youtube channels. I hope to see more of this instead of trying to translate other language reviews :)
Definitely not a new company. They've been around for a long time.

This motherboard would match the color scheme of the fractal north wood and white. too bad, the case has a gray interior.

i use it now and i like it no problem. if you guys just give it a chance u will know..
Are they releasing bios updates?

Color very nice, shit just made my night lmaoooo
