As an experiment, I wish motherboard makers would make a consumer board with all pcie lanes unpopulated, so that the user could add their own NIC, carrier boards for m.2 SSDs, and USB adapters. Pcie is so flexible that it sucks how consumer motherboards basically just hold lanes hostage in m.2 slots nowadays!
I agree
A single x16 slot can be easily converted in 4x M.2 slots. The heck do I have to give up all of my PCI-E slots for some M.2 slots on the board!? Who the heck is using 4x M.2 SSDs that requires a complete system teardown to service? My rage is infinite with modern board designs.
Me: Installs a GPU, Installs a RAID card. All of a sudden I am out of PCI-E slots, the heck? Where do I put my Wi-Fi & Bluetooth card, Ethernet card, accelerator, etc.?
Boards from 2011 had more PCI-E connectivity than these things.
And 300$ was a top-tier board... Now you get this crap with nice looks
It has wifi onboard.
@ on-board wi-fi is garbage. There is an Ethernet port too, but I am still going to need a proper nic.
Bluetooth card, l😂
Have you considered plugging the GPU into one of your 12 usb ports?
Great review Wendell. This MOBO looks cool AF!!
I wish motherboards came with more pcie slots. My old Z370 Pro4 has 2x16 and 3x1 slots. The x1 slots are super useful for small wifi, power or ethernet add-in cards. Also for those use use an HBA card for extra pcie slots are handy
my old z97 came with 7 fucking pcie slots, almost a decade later how the hell have we gone backwards on this
@@quantum5661 exactly and it's not like motherboard prices have gone down either. They've risen and the pcie slots have disappeared. What's the point if the cpu/chipset supports more pcie lanes but you don't get to use them.
More x4 slots pls
Considering how many people go for vertical mounts lol they aren't going to put more. But I agree more is better!
It's the sharing lanes thing that bugs me. Not between the secondary slots so much, but their should be a 16x that is never forced to share lanes regardless of the other slots(maybe with a manual override for rare applications without any gfx and a bunch of 4x).
The second physical 16x if installed should be able to be full 16x if most of the 8x and 4x slots are depopulated. The smallest pcie slot should be 4x phys AND electrical that can be operated as 1x, 2x and 4x. (There is no reason for phys 1x slots on ATX, and specialized ultra-compact applications aren't likely to use standard pcie slots anyway.)
8+ sata should remain standard, m.2 expansion is just too space limited.
You can put 4 m2 ssds into a 4x4x4x4 pcie slot. Why are they on the board taking up so much space? Motherboard designs are so silly these days.
this is pretty terrible honestly. we need more pcie on consumer cpus. I shouldn't have to worry about half my pcie bandwidth going away from my gpu if i pop a card in the second slot or choose the wrong m.2 slot... just wire it up like we see it, give each m.2 4 pcie lanes, give each (of preferably 3 but 2 is better than 1 i guess?) pcie slot dedicated 16 lanes. motherboard manufacturers shouldn't have to keep dancing around these shitty cpu platform limitations.
It's like a 2-4% performance hit, tops.
@@toxyboi not on a modern performant gpu like a 4090 it's way bigger than that, DMA is really important for modern gpus which means having fast access to the fast memory within and 16x pcie4 gets close to the memory bandwidth on these cards. - I really hope the 5090 is going to be a pcie5 card.
asrock is overlooked as a option far to often.. great board.
Totally agree. I have owned 3 Asrock boards since z170 series and all 3 are still working. Very reliable boards. My current Asrock z790 PG Riptide non WiFi is a champ!
i still have two 4 coredual - sata 2 boards running retro w98/xp builds .. they were the boards that had two slots for ddr and two slots for ddr2.. it was that time when ddr2 was just coming out so you could choose one or the other.. cheers. @@mastervorn6380
If I remember correctly, AsRock boards came high on the list of AM5 motherboards tested by Hardware Unboxed.
Great brand, most my builds are using them.
7 PCIe x16 slots are a requirement 2023! it should be illegal to sell m/b without such!
Thanks. Good content as always. When will you do a Nova Z790 overview? Thanks!
That would be an insanely power hungry NAS. My purpose-designed single drive NAS peaks at 20w and half of that is the spinning disk. Full Idle(no sleeping, just idle) is about 6w.
What system are you running? Pi4? 6 W idle is really nice.
Time for a discounted i3-12100 or 12400..! (Rare to find a Z790 with more than 4 SATA ports these days, much less a full 8 ports!)

MARVELL Kirkwood 88F6702
Kirkwood is an SoC, 1GHz 1 ARM-core with ethernet, SATA, USB controller, etc all together. It's enough cpu for up to 1gig ethernet.
I haven't put the entire system on a power meter to confirm, so the 6-20W range probably does include wall-wart losses, and certainly doesn't include any UPS losses. (Also that is 6W is in cool conditions when the fan can shut off.)
@@mdd1963 Whole system wattage, not the CPU alone.
clearly; but if even remotely concerned about overall power draw, then a 12400 or similar is about the decent target...@@mytech6779
5Gbps USB-C, really?
could you review the asrock B650E Taichi Lite ?
"What are you going to put into them?" A couple of extra graphics cards to be able to easily compare performance across versions/manufacturers when playing around with machine learning.
Of course, everybody has half a dozen graphics cards to compare performance between them, at all times, every day. That's what I do with my computer, compare graphics cards.
Says littlerally nobody
Wendel any suggestions for a feature packed mATX board for a 7900x3D? I have a nice semi-retro In-Win 301 case.
@level1techs would be nice if you could do a install video for the TB4 addon card ...
That first frame is a bit unsettling lmao
Focusrite scarlett2i2 tip/hint/fix? Idk what to call it, You just need to adjust the buffering a little bit 👌(or turn on safe mode). Had no issues after that. (48 or 64 should do it.😇) and try using a real usb2.0 port.
I found just swopping the USB cable fixed mine, it was driving me nuts locking up but it's been rock solid since I swopped the cable.
Hey they named a mainboard after Percy Jacksons sword. neat.
Is it just me or does the video look blurry I'm 1440p native especially the MB, kind of noticed it with a few other YT video's today as well
Early into processing YT quality falls off a cliff.
It's focused on the background
but these wifi 7 motherboard do not has the wireless driver for windows 10
nice
hi, what is the maximum frequency the memory can operate at? provided you have a good set
watch the video. maybe.
Don't get _RIPPED_ , in the Riptide.
Focusrite???? Buy yourself a RME BABYFACE, mines has been running rock solid for over 20 years, they write their own drivers, the most stable drivers you will ever come across……
out of curiosity, how many inches are those monitors behind you
Riiiiiptide bluuuuuueeee
What's the latency cost of having switchable PCIe lanes?
PLX chips usually run around 20-30 USD for mainstream, server grade stuff can run 200 USD+
nothing about the wifi?
Damn ghosts
Sorry but the PCIe 5.0 m.2 stealing lanes from the GPU slot singularly makes this board incredibly stupid... They didn't even bother to do 2 slots so if you use that m.2 the extra 4 lanes just go off into the aether... There is no reason to get 5.0 m.2 drives anyway so that slot will just stay empty, so you are paying for a redriver/switch chip and a bunch of 5.0 wiring that is entirely useless. Terrible board design, sorry.
That’s just a limitation on Intel’s side it happens with every Z690-Z790 motherboard that has PCIE gen 5 m.2 slots. There is nothing ASRock could do to avoid that, the CPU simply needs more PCIE Gen 5 lanes. AMD’s 7000 series for example doesn’t have this issue because they have more PCIE gen 5 lanes.
@@Dell-ol6hbExactly, all 790 boards do it like this, if they want gen5 ssd support. It´s not terrible, 8 lanes is enough even for a 4090.
8 SATA ports? Pretty lame USB on the back I/O, no thanks.
Paired with an i5-12400 and a decent amount of RAM, might make a decent ProxMox host, capable of both a decent amount of storage (8x22 TB?) with no add-in cards for NAS duties, plus run a nice assortment of VMs and/or containers...
Industrial garbage, remove the wifi module
im early
I got a riptide for my build and it had bent pins and I returned it the guy told me not to get Asrock as it’s garbage. So I went Gigabyte
Wish I could post a picture of the asrock motherboard sitting across the room here.. N68C-GS4 FX booting an old am3 x2 at 1.1ghz over stock for some 13 years now. Still pumps Starcraft LAN and tf2 like the day it came from the egg. 🤷♂️
Been running a P67 i5-2500k for 12 years now. No issues
Every manufacturer screws up from time to time. How that gets fixed is what matters.
@@-in-the-meantime... yeah but that’s old. This guy was talking about newer stuff said that Asrock has the most problems
@@kartv75 again, that is old, we are talking about what they are putting out right now
