I know this comment is two years old, but I'm planning on building a SFF all AMD rig here soon, and I can fit this in the case over the x570-i STRIX. Thank you for the massively helpful video!! With all the headers, I'll be able go LC quickly.
Thanks for the rant, can't wait to get my hands on this board and the ITX Strix for my S/O. Will you be doing a PCB breakdown of the ITX board as well?
I been loving this motherboard. CPU overclocks are always rock solid and I’ve been able to get my timings really tight on the memory @ the 3800mhz sweet spot.
Got this board from microcenter couple days ago, I was able to fit Noctua D15 cooler on cpu by removing top heat sink off of so dimm card and monting nvme stick to the bottom slot of the so dimm card, it's tight, but it works.
board has 5 fan headers, hell of a lot of USB ports, I use the onboard audio for my speakers and it seems to do fine, I run a 3950x and 2x32GB kit in this, 3200mhz kit but I might tune it up and timings up and try to run it all at 1800mhz with the fabric as well, generally haven't messed with it because i have servers that run in the background 24/7.
Thank you. You just saved my build as I have to switch to a smaller board to get what I want and how I want. Had a hard time doing just that. Why wasn't this mentioned in the collab w/GN as to the best boards for AM4?
Thank you very much. Bought this w/ a R9 5900X, RTX 3080 Ti FE (thank you Best Buy). Building it (well, someone else is building it but I'll be supervising :).
Any thoughts on why this has a standard 1 Gbps NIC instead of e.g. 2.5 or 5 Gbps NIC ? How difficult would it really be to offer this board with just a higher rate NIC instead?
Hi Buildzoid I have a question about my (ram?). When I start my pc it turns on and off like 2-3 times before booting completely and I looked the problem up online and they said it has to do with ram. I have 2 different ram kits and it does this on both using the settings the ram is rated for. I have: Vengeance pro rgb 2666-CL16 and trident z neo 3600-CL16. Do u have any idea what the problem is here? Voltage is 1.35 on both and running a crosshair VII hero with 3700x.
I just got one of these. Aside from it being an overall great board, there was a ton of flux residue that I had to clean off. Pretty annoying for this price point, considering I've never experienced that on any motherboard.
There are two unidentified (not in manual) headers on my version of this board. 1) A 5 PIN header located between the PCIe and M.2 header. 2) A 9 pin header located between the CPU and the M.2 header. What are they?
I'm also curious about the 9 pin. It's not listed on any diagram, could be a 1394 header or USB 2.0. the manual states there are 2x 2.0 USB but the diagram shows one. Can't find any other info on this
Only X570 "SFF" mobo with front panel USB I/O port on the board. So disappointed that this generation of AMD ITX boards don't have it.. but intel ones do.
This SoC VRM is almost as ridiculous overkill as the Godlike and Strix-E.What is it with x570 boards? Is it useful for LN2 OC with Zen 2 SoC? Seems like such a waste of budget. Chipset by itself is already expensive and everyone seem to just want to make it even more expensive than it has to be
Asus is also a higher volume manufacturer so reducing the parts cost for a vrm makes more financial sense. More potential savings to offset engineering costs.
Holy shit, it actually exists?! O_o I'm waiting on this vs the Strix X570-I Gaming and they're NOWHERE at the moment. I would get this in a heartbeat because it looks like it holds a slight edge over the Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro Wifi but if nobody can get it, I won't either.
Yes i have one, also consider the new msi unify-x 2 dimm version has 90A power stages. A 5950x uses around 200A flat out the impact is most effiecient at 100-200A so 5900x is no issue but watch the bios versions, start with an earlier version just above the beta am on ver 1302 for zen2 and about to try 2311 for 5950x before trying the new 2702 bios.
they are not in the same level. z370g use awful vrm components, not the top-tier powerstage like this one. buildzoid also has a pcb breakdown video for the z370g, u can check it here: ruclips.net/video/cA2NQsgrJPk/видео.html
Buidlzoid... Do you have any thoughts on the Asus rog maximus ix formula? I just picked one up recently and plan to oc a 6600k. Anything I should know?
Actually making this in the matx form factor would be a great idea. There are not many of those on the market at the moment. the dtx form factor does not have as much support as itx. So just add another pci e slot and make it into a matx board for best of both words!
If you want to go LN2 overclocking on a small board yeah get this. Full sized I also like the Apex, especially for mem clocking. If youre just over clocking on water or air the x570 E gaming is a nice board. MSI got some good offers with one of the MEG boards (forgot the name of the best price to performance one). The Gigabyte x570 extreme he mentioned is also a great choice for LN2 and a great board in general which doesnt completely break the bank. As a general purpose board which can literally do everything the x570 E gaming is a great choice. Its also discounted quite a bit at my place where it goes for below 300€ tax included.
@@RathOX Yeah it should be really good for mem clocking considering the layout. And great timings for regular usage with 1to1 mem fclk. I almost bought a 5950x cause my 5900 wasnt available and the day I went to buy the 5950 a 5900 randomly showed up cause another customer cancelled his order for it :D
So realistically, how much would I lose if I buy this instead of the Hero VIII? Note, I will be using my PC for Data Science, I need 64GB RAM or more and I know its difficult to find a 64GB set with only 2 slots, but then again I like a compact machine.

I was excited about this motherboard until I saw the $429.99 release price :-( it doesnt look like it has that much clearance between the heatsink on the audio chip and the PCI Express x16 slot.
I wanted an ITX board with optical out. The only one is the asrock, but the asrock has only one M.2 slot, and I want two use M.2 drives and zero SATA, so that is how I ended up buying this board. The board is cool and all, but what's the point of a super overclocking board for a CPU that doesn't overclock that much?
I'm starting to think I wasted my money on this board. I can't even mild overclock it to save my life! If anybody can help, I would be very thankful. 5950X/3090fe/64gb ddr4 3600Mhz ram
Asus: "MUH TRANSIENT RESPONSE!" **uses cheaper setup than competition and charges a lot more than them** That aside, I guess the cool factor is the only real reason to get this board because at that size you're just better off going mATX and avoid the limitations of ITX...if they haven't took a dump at mATX, God damnit!
This should be ITX and the DTX version should have a second pcie slot. Who out there is saying "damn I cant install a third m.2 drive, Im so glad I cant just add a riser and have another 2 m.2's"
You do realise that adding a riser card kills all the interest of small form factor which is to fit into small cases don't you ? Who the fk cares about 3 m.2s ? If you need the capacity of 3 m.2s then buy a single big one and most of ITX boards offer 2 m.2s nowadays anyways ! ITX is perfectly fine the way it is ..... If size isn't an issue then why the fk do you go with ITX-ish form factor to begin with ?
@@alb9229 Are you new? "ITX is perfectly fine the way it is" This isn't ITX. My point was the third m.2 slot was stupid and then you come at me pointing out how dumb the third m.2 is??? Do you not get that? Also it may surprise you that you can fit mDTX into some mITX cases and I also suggested that all this oc stuff could be put on the ITX Strix. If this stayed mDTX but with 2x 16 slots (wired x16, x8) you can have 2x m.2 in the dimm.2 slot. Then another 4x m.2 in a riser card in the x16. Finally a single slot gpu (or PCIE riser cable going to dual slot) gpu in the pcie4 x8 slot and *someone* could have 12TB of storage in a tiny render rig OR *someone* can run 2 gpus in sli or crossfire all inside a SFF case. Either way people can do whatever the fuck they want. I'm just saying this extra pointless m.2 slot is a waste of the mDTX form factor and it should be another PCIE for the user to decide how to use.
