I normally don't leave comments, but this was exactly the video I needed as I've been struggling to find the right motherboard for my new 5600x at the right price point! So much valuable information packed down into 30 minutes and communicated in a way that's easy to understand. Your videos are an amazing resource to newer pc builders like myself and the effort you put into them really shows
Let's give the guy the support he deserves!! This is such a well-made 30 minute video and I bet he spent so much time and effort making it, given how long it is. Great video, Jason!!
I recently did my first build using your 5600x guide & it was an amazing experience. I went from nervous to frustrated to amazed once the pc finally turned. Thank you so much for all the videos!
This was the PERFECT next video from you, Jason. I've watched similar RUclips channels for several years. I've watched all the Linus, the Steve, the Jayz, and the Hardware Unboxed team. However, you have an excellent ability to simplify and explain things and cut right to a recommendation, with a strong rationale behind you decision. I tell all of my friends to stop by your channel first for the basics, the more advanced topics, and specific parts. You're the man, Jason. Keep it up!
@@PCBuilderChannel Hi, Does samsung 980 nvme M.2 SSD 1T Work on this motherboard ? B450M GAMING PLUS (MS-7B87) Also can i install 64GB ram or just 32GB at 3466Mhz ? There are only two channels btw.
Thank you for doing vids covering 2 to 3 generations of CPUs and the MoBos that could support them best. Some of us take years to upgrade our desktop rigs and have mainly subsisted on laptops for general work. I think the last one I confidently built was an AMD Phenom 4 Black with a 5850 as a kid. I'm getting back to current gen with your vids. Thank you!
Made my build back in november 2020 when 5900 was released. I paired it with asus e gaming x570 and rtx3080. Reason why i chose x570 was: solid vrm, quck flash (i knew there will be alot of bios updated since it was a new released cpu) 2x m.2 slots, usb C, usb 3 connectors, extra fan connectors... got everything packed in o11d xl case.
I was running a b450 Tomahawk with my Ryzen 2700, then I upgraded to a 5800X, and the Tomahawk did just fine, but I wanted to upgrade boards as well to take advantage to the gen 4 PCI lanes. I was looking at the B550 Unify, but ended up going with the X570 Unify, as I found one for the same price. Was surprised not to see, as the B550 Unify was shown off. One thing I noticed from switching boards with the 5800X was the VRM temps. The X570 Unify VRM has much more robust cooling. Love the board! Good info
This video sort of gave me the push to start looking for a board since I've been wanting to upgrade my CPU/motherboard for a while now. I've been very interested in a white build and I've just found the Asus B550-A on sale for 139€ down from 172€. Looking forward to pairing it with a nice 5600/5600x. Thanks Jason and keep up the quality content!
I ended up going with the MSI B550 Gamer's Edge Wifi and am very happy with it. Aside from having the front panel type C header (which I wanted since my case has one), the number and location of the fan and RGB headers made routing those cables pretty easy.
Last week Biostar released new BIOS adding support cor Ryzen 5000 on X370 motherboards. I upgraded my 2600 to a 5600, works like a charm and no noticeable drop in performance compared to 5600s running on B550
@@DragunnitumGaming it's right on time. The market decides the price. When intel wasn't competing AMD could set whatever price they wanted. That keeps AMD in business. Intel is still Goliath.
I was merely curious about the possibility of building a desktop computer, and I clicked on your video to check out which motherboard is best for me. You sir are the only person I have seen that's been so thorough, straight to the point, organized and even thought of things I didn't even consider about. You definitely deserve more subscribers.
WOW, this was so helpful, thankyou so much! You helped a first timer builder get to understand the differences between boards and how well the processors and mobo combinations work well together. Everything about this was so clear and easy to understand. I especially loved how you actually showed images of the motherboards rather than just listing them, this helped me visualise and understand more about it.
I've mostly had my list ready for my 5800X3D build, but was unsure of how to determine what mobo you use. I've had a few looks at suggested lists, but the prices seemed very varies just for 550 mobos. This video really was perfect for helping me to know what I actually need for my gaming setup.
This is probably the most detailed and most helpful video I've seen in terms of motherboard choices for budget builders like. Very good content. Subbed.
So one of the main advantages to the Dark Hero is the fact that you can set up the OC to switch between PBO and all core overclocking based on the power draw of the CPU. It addresses one of the weak points of AMD CPU OC that most don't even bother with. PBO is great for normal day to day stuff and gaming but if you want to max out the CPU for multi core workloads then PBO isn't as good as all core. All core is good for hard core productivity but not so much for gaming. Properly set up the Dark Hero covers both of the approaches.
My MSI B450 Pro Carbon AC started malfunctioning and after some research I identified two mobos I want to choose between: the AORUS ELITE AX V2 and TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI. Stumbled upon your video only to be re-affirmed I picked well. I don't really know which one to choose still but considering my current MSI one's failing, I think I'll give the Gigabyte one a shot.
Best B450m budget board definitely is MSI B450M Mortar Max. Good connectivity, 2 nvme slots, 4 ram slots, good vrms, fantastic heatsink. And it usually costs only around 80EUR in EU. Only problem was that it was hard to find in US.
Have the same board as you have paired with a 3600, solid as a rock and love the two NVMe slots which contain both a crucial 500Gb stick. And it doesn't have a Xmas tree amount of rgb leds, yup am not a RGB fan 😁
@@arta73 oh yes I know, i recall being annoyed installing mystic light just so i could turn it off, but then I noticed I could configure it as a CPU temperature meter and thus using that strip of RGB to see how much I let my CPU suffer at a glance 😁
MSI B550 Unify is a one of a kind board if you plan to use a lot of M.2 storage instead of 2.5" drives. 4 slots on the board with heatsinks, phenomenal! Also has insane VRM (90A Power Stages) and the biggest heatsinks ever seen on a motherboard.
Congratulatios for the 100th uploaded video! All of them are really detailed and quality content. Amazing dedication and time went into making theese videos and I think we all wish for many more to come! This is a great achievement worthy of celebration!
Got an X570 for $110 used. The Auros X570 Elite. Perfect board for the price. Most in that price range don’t have heatsinks or IO covers etc. It was actually cheaper than most B550 used boards too.
I'd also check out the AsRock X570 PG VELOCITA for around $230 currently. Many of the same features as their Taichi 570, but with an additional USB 3.2 header onboard. And its cheaper by $50. (I've built systems with both).
Nice! Why would you choose the Rog Strix ITX above the Gigabyte B550I AORUS PRO AX ITX? : ) I actually cant find the Asusin stock anywhere... : ( Is there a new one? Looking for a build with a Ryzen 5600 : )
For ITX, I would spend the extra $50 and go with the Strix X570i. It has loads more USB connectivity on the back which is definitely something you can't upgrade later.
Awesome video, Jason! I'm going with the ASUS TUF Gaming B550-Plus WIFI II for around €160 for my upcoming gaming PC! Your video has helped me a ton to find the right one for me! Sad, that this motherboard only uses DP 1.2. But on the other hand, I only have a high refresh rate 1440p monitor right now and HDMI 2.1 has me covered in case I buy a 4K high refresh rate monitor in the future! :D
This is my first time building a PC and for four days straight I've felt like this experience of researching parts is like standing in a car lot with 20 salespeople recommending all types of cars. Your channel has really truly helped me in narrowing down the best components. Thanks!
I have noticed video cards these days are a lot bigger... So the layout can pose to be a problem for me sometimes. I swapped my CPU and M/B with my sons PC to give him a temporary upgrade. My 5700XT card takes up so much room I cannot access any of my PCIe slots underneath it unfortunately
B550 chipset remains my choice for AM4. You get PCIe Gen4 for one GPU and one SSD. That's all a gaming rig truly needs. Get ASUS if you want to overclock -- very reliable for it, especially the ROG Strix line. Save some cash and get ASRock if you're less concerned with overclocking and just want the most value for your money.
LISTEN UP: i HIGHLY recommend the ASROCK B550m steel legend, its an excellent board AND THE SAME PRICE AS THE CHEAP B550 SHOWN HERE. i paid $110 for mine on amazon, its a much better board for the price, i have a 5800x and stress tested the crap out of the board. a full 12 hours of full load with no issues what so ever
I Love ASRock Boards.. I have a B550 Velocita and I still have my first ASRock board the X370 Taichi.. I was a Day 1 First gen Ryzen adopter.. I started out with a 1700 overclocked to 3.9Ghz, then I dropped in a 2700X with FlareX 3200 CL14, But I am getting ready to sell my older rig to a buddy at work.. I still love that X370 Taichi Though.. I got a lot of use out of it also it runs Ryzen 5000 series chips too.. ASRock has kept their people up to date with new BIOS's for a long time now..
Still very helpful in mid November of 2023! Picked up a 5900x on sale along with a 4080 and felt like the motherboard I got wasn’t the best deal/option. I got a MPG B550 Gaming Plus from Bestbuy for $160, but felt like I could get a better deal for a better board. Ended up getting a Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX V2 for $136. Thanks for the help!
As always jam packed with info put into easily understandable terms and timestamps to help when looking back for certain info, love the vids and the channel!
Hi Jason I have a quick question for you. I want to upgrade my pc as its getting pretty old. Im going to keep the gpu - gtx 1080 - but i am thinking of changing the cpu to the ryzen 5 5600x, and the motherboard to an Asus tuf gaming b450 plus II. All supplied with a 550 watt psu. Would this be a good choice, or should I swap one or two things out? I would really appreciate a reply! Thanks!
it guy NW architect for the last 30 years.. headache trying to get up to speed on builds after 15 years of building down time.. Just trying to place a Ryzen 9 5900x on the right MB. . Good stuff man.
in my 2022 build to replace my MSI 760G-MP35 (AM3) I went with the MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max ATX Board, 16 GB DDR4 memory and a Ryzen 5 5600G. I also upgraded my chassis from a Cooler master Elite 310 to a Raidmax ATX-1WLB chassis and transferred over all the hardware. (hard drives, DVD-RW Drives, and RGB) I also bought my first M.2 Drive and went with a crucial 250GB chip to start me off. for anyone looking for a inexpensive chassis, the Raidmax ATX-1WLB is a great buy. starting at $14.99 W/O PSU, its a great way to start a custom build! Thank you so much for this video! the information is invaluable!
This is a great video Jason. I've had several ASUS boards and now have a MSI B450 Tomahawk Max. My first MSI board. It's been a good the past couple of years. I noticed you don't really recommend MSI boards and prefer Gigabyte boards typically. Any reason for both? I really like your channel. I'm definitely a new sub.
Hi Jason, I just received my Aorus B550 Elite AX V2 MB and was looking through the specs and apparently the MB says it supports 3200 speed RAM. I have purchased 2 (16x2) sticks of T-Force 3600 Ram. Will these 2 sticks of 32 MB RAM work or do I need to send them back and get 3200 speed?
I have been using a X570 AORUS ELITE for almost three years 16+ hours a day without any issues including the chipset fan. It's been a very good board... Thinking about upgrading the 3600x cpu now maybe the 5700x or 5900x. I game every day but it's unreal and does not need the new 3d cpu.
First, I have to say that your video is amazing and helped me a ton figuring out current motherboard (haven't built a pc since 2014?/my current i7-3770k setup). I do have issues with USB (since when there is so much usb type? lol) I get that when I try to get the GIGABYTE B550 AORUS PRO AC with my Lian li o11 air mini on pcpartpicker Note: A USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 header adapter is required. Note: A USB 3.2 Gen 1 to USB 3.2 Gen 2 header adapter is required.
Seems like my Aorus Gigabyte B550 pro is still a number 1 killer in 2022, I've had the board for nearly 9 months now and its been superb through out ! Thanks for the vid and your original recommendation for this board last year 🙂
My original build was a Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite paired with a Ryzen 7 2700X, 16GB ram & an Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 OC, it was a great system & still is. I recently got a new case the Phanteks P360A to build a new rig, I was running a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite wifi paired with a Ryzen 7 5800X, 16GB of faster ram & an RTX 3070. Recently I was browsing through ebay looking for some parts for a different PC build & I stumbled upon a Gigabyte X570S Aorus Master listed as “for parts/not working” only because it was unable to be tested. Apparently all the items in the sellers store are sourced from Amazon customer returns. It was listed for $150 & there was 30 day free returns so I decided to take a chance in ordering the board. I figured worse case scenario it doesn’t work & I send it back to get a refund. The board arrived a few days ago & I was shocked. It came in the original box, all accessories & original contents were also in the box still in original packaging sealed & unopened. The board itself was super clean & looked virtually untouched although I could see it was at least mounted at some point. None the less I installed the board & put my PC back together & the board works absolutely great looks nice! I’m super thankful I was able to snag a nearly $400 X570S Aorus Master motherboard for $150 which is just over what I originally paid a couple months ago for the X570 Aorus Elite wifi. I had ended up building my B450 platform into a Tecware Vega L case to have a PC out in the kitchen computer area.. only to disassemble that whole build 2 months later because I bought a new Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro AC motherboard & snagged an RTX 3050 for under $400 when they came out so the kitchen PC has B550 Aorus Pro AC paired with a Ryzen 7 2700X, 16GB of 3200 Mhz ram & an RTX 3050. I actually got an extra Ryzen 7 2700X because I ordered a working used one & they packaged it poorly so it arrived with over a dozen bent pins, I was refunded for the CPU & ended up preforming surgery to try & place all the pins back to their original position. It actually went very well & I managed to get all the pins looking like new again, best part is the CPU slotted right in & we got post. I think I’m just going to build the B450 Aorus Elite paired with the free Ryzen 7 2700X, 16GB ram & the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 OC into my Draco case that is currently unused since I bought the new Phanteks case for my personal rig. Sorry that was a novel, I just thought it was interesting since I currently have 3 of the main 4 motherboard chipsets talked about in the video, B450, B550, X570 both versions regular & S
Good job on the info. I do agree that fan on chipset will always cause problem......if not now then later. Can you please help me in selection. I am getting a ryzen 7 5800x .....mainly gamer with photo and video editing sometime.....love good audio - I do have an external 5.1 yamaha amp. B550-F rog strix wifi at $190 B550 Aorus elite with wifi at $200 GIGABYTE X570S AORUS ELITE at $209 which one should i pick?
Maybe this is my very first comment in every youtube video I've watched, LOL. The most compact, yet efficient, 30 minutes of information. 1 million subs should be easy for you. Thanks for your efforts! You truly deserved my comment hahaha!
Hi. Im about to buy aorus b550 master motherboard. Do you recommend ryzen 7 or ryzen 9 in this motherboard? Hope you can answer my question thanks. Great video anyway.
Hello! Sounds like you might be building a little backwards. The linch pin of your build should be the GPU/CPU you that fit your needs. After that you build around it. Why don't you check out our Best CPU/GPU Combo 2022 video so see what you need, then go from there.
Nice video keep it up but i have a question should i buy Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE V2 for 135 or asus tuf gaming b550-plus for 140. Would be grateful if you answer.
Just got the parts for new my build, AsRock X570 Taichi, AMD 5900X and 32 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 CL16, 1 TB Sabrent Rocket 4 + M.2 and WD SN850 Black 2 TB M.2. Prices have come down lately. Kept it all under $1300. Already have a nice case, power supply and video card. Replacing this old i-7 2600k build. Very nice videos, clear and concise information.
I upgraded, 3 days ago, from AM4 x470F Asus Strix Gaming to Gigabyte x570S Aorus Elite AX and i can say is a huge upgrade,all my components work so great now!(cpu 5900x, 4x8GB sticks ddr4 3200 cl14 Gskil trident,2xnvme ssd,cooler x62Kraken Nzxt,gpu 7900XT Sapphire Nitro vaporX,6x vents case Lian li argb,3x ssd sata.)
Will the ASUS TUF Gaming A520M-PLUS WiFi require a BIOS update? I’d rather get another motherboard that doesn’t require it in that case as I’m not used to this stuff:/
I watch this video late as I have already bought a PC recently and won't be buying for a long time. I upgraded my own PC with the ROG Strix B550-F which you recommended and the only thing I don't like is the lack of top RGB/ARGB headers. I could have avoided the RGB controller I have today as I need to get an extension to get to the header which is placed on the bottom of the board. Other than that it's sweet. I got it mostly for the BIOS flashback feature as I was not sure it would support my 5600X out of the box. The amazingly cool ROG "eye" logo does look amazing though and I like it tells you if the power switch on the PSU is off or on. I also think you forgot to mention the Asrock Phantom Gaming 4 board (I just watched the B500 portion of the video and I saw actually nothing from Asrock). Now, I have a love/hate relationship with this board because that's the one that's running the new build I put together recently for my son and it's running great on a 3600X overclocked to 4600Mhz at 1.2v. It also has plenty of headers and overall it seems like a really good board, allowing overclocking, decent connectivity (yes missing latest USBs but that's expected at this price point), and I think a good software suite (needs latest BIOS to run the RGB software correctly though). It is definitely inexpensive and low end, but there are two caveats with it. One, it kept crashing with 3600 speed RAM, it works perfectly stable with 3200. It did pick up the correct 3600 XMP profile but the speed kept reading 3200 with the 3600 sticks so maybe it doesn't support those memory sticks. Second, my motherboard was DOA and when I returned it, that's when I paid the difference and got the ROG instead.
Hi, Jason, I currently have a MSI Tomahawk B-450 Max motherboard with a Ryzen 3700x. I wanted to upgrade the best CPU for gaming purposes, what do you recommend?
This is by far some of the most valuable info that we all needed. Unless you are already knowledgeable about pcs you would have to dig for hours to get the level of info in this one video. Simple questions and problems we all need to know that could get overlooked that even high end pc builders don't mention. Love the video.
Hi Hope you would reply. I purchased Ryzen 7 5700G and planning to buy MPG MSI B550 gaming plus in combination with PCei 4 nvme ssd. Now my question is DOES 5700G support PCei 4 SSD?? Hope you have a good day. Please suggest.
Is a Ryzen 7 2700 too much for the PRIME B450M-A II? Its 8-core, but only has a 65W TDP. I understood from your 2021 review that the PRIME B450M-A II was more for 4 or 6-core CPUs because of the less-than-robust VRM, but this review appears to indicate that an 8-core would be OK on this MB. Objective - I'm replacing the MB in my parents' desktop (read that as surfing the web, checking email, Skyping and playing iTunes) and bought a PRIME B450M-A II to use with a 2700 that I have left over after upgrading my own system. Option is to get a 5600G, go with integrated graphics and stick the 2700 and old GPU in a drawer. Thoughts?
Hey jason, great video as always. But out of curiosity. You mentioned you would recommend the aorus pro - p up to a r9 5900x. So by logic, the 5800x3d would be fine there as well? I realize it's not out yet but I just had to ask. Mostly because I have a case that can only fit a MATX, ITX mobo and I have no intention of replacing it cause I'm still inlove with it. Thanks in advance! Keep up the great videos man!
The v2 has front panel usb type C for the case. So either are fine but if you don't need the front panel type C then you can go for the cheaper version without it.
Another issue with Asrock boards are the memory slots with a clip on one side only and the comments in review sections are many about this creating memory problems. I had an Asrock B550 MB give me memory issues. I got lucky with the X570 boards. The X570S Auros Elite is a GREAT board.
so i have a b550-f for my planned ryzen 5 3600 build (sticking to midrange until i have a bigger budget), but its good to know that its an amazing option for future proofing!
Thank you so much...I've been looking for someone who'd advice us, pc gamers, on which motherboards, or chipsets, we should choose when building a brand new PC. And you sir, just made the perfect video! New sub and like..!
the system I have at the minute is a Ryzen 3700x , MSI Meg Ace X570 , Rtx 3060 12 GB .... have you any recommendations for an upgrade ? ...many thanks in advance Shaun.
So with amd putting out a new cpu soon would you now recommend x570 motherboards? I have been hearing they aren't worth it but if I want future proof.. 🤷🏾♀️
x570 is not future proof. It doesn't offer any additional features that B550 doesn't have. It's just a board thats focused on high end creator workloads rather than gaming. So if you are a high end creator then x570 is worth it. If not, there is no reason to get a x570
i want to build at the moment r5 5600g with ASUS Prime B450M-A II - Is it possible in the future to add a card like RTX 3060 or RX 6600 XT or higher without change the motherboard ?
Just got the Asus Rog b550-i. And I'm very happy with it so far. Suprisingly easy to install in, as well, apart from the front audio header that is a bit of a squeeze.
Hi Jason, hope you're doing well. I'm thinking of buying the Ryzen 7 5700g APU. I will upgrade to a dedicated GPU in about 1 year's time, what would be the best motherboard to buy for the long run. I will be using this system for about 6-7 years. I am mostly going to be using the system for gaming purposes. Game Emulation
Hello! Thinking ahead to some upgrades I'd grab a B550 now then. Expand the description for links, any of the budget B550 we recommend would work well for this
Great video. I went X570 Aorus Master. Massive overkill but fancied trying a high end board. I'll probably go with a B550 level board next time but can't fault the Gigabyte. Just need to drop my 5800X3D CPU in now. Should last a few years 😉
I've been having a horrible experience with the Asus B550-F gaming wifi motherboard. I just built my first PC and this motherboard has completely wrecked and experience I was really looking forward to. Basically all the 1 dtar reviews on Amazon sum up exactly what I'm dealing with. I'm so upset, I was super excited to get my PC up and running and gaming and it's been nothing but problems.
Hey! thanks for the thorough explanation! What about the MSI B550 Tomahawk motherboard? Is it any good? I bought a Ryzen 5 5600G at around 159$ at sale, and I found that motherboard in sale aswell, at around 80$ here in Morocco, so I had to jump on it, I still haven't gotten the products back, so I was wondering, would those two be a good pairing? or would I encounter any issues? Thanks !
i have a question i believe i have a (MSI B450M Gaming Plus Motherboard Socket AM4 Micro ATX AMD B450) and i just ordered a ryzen 5 5600x would that be compatible would i have a problem? thanks for your time

Thank you for doing vids covering 2 to 3 generations of CPUs and the MoBos that could support them best.

Great content. You're doing what the old Tech Deals channel used to do, but more focused and energetic.
So glad you are enjoying! Thank you!
I was running a b450 Tomahawk with my Ryzen 2700, then I upgraded to a 5800X, and the Tomahawk did just fine, but I wanted to upgrade boards as well to take advantage to the gen 4 PCI lanes. I was looking at the B550 Unify, but ended up going with the X570 Unify, as I found one for the same price. Was surprised not to see, as the B550 Unify was shown off. One thing I noticed from switching boards with the 5800X was the VRM temps. The X570 Unify VRM has much more robust cooling. Love the board! Good info
Thanks for sharing!
This video sort of gave me the push to start looking for a board since I've been wanting to upgrade my CPU/motherboard for a while now. I've been very interested in a white build and I've just found the Asus B550-A on sale for 139€ down from 172€. Looking forward to pairing it with a nice 5600/5600x.
Thanks Jason and keep up the quality content!
wonderful! Glad we could help!
I ended up going with the MSI B550 Gamer's Edge Wifi and am very happy with it. Aside from having the front panel type C header (which I wanted since my case has one), the number and location of the fan and RGB headers made routing those cables pretty easy.
will ur mobo run a r9 5900x ??
Will this board handle windows 11?
Last week Biostar released new BIOS adding support cor Ryzen 5000 on X370 motherboards. I upgraded my 2600 to a 5600, works like a charm and no noticeable drop in performance compared to 5600s running on B550
It's good to see Ryzen getting back to the budget options.
Yes!
a bit late tho
@@DragunnitumGaming it's right on time. The market decides the price. When intel wasn't competing AMD could set whatever price they wanted. That keeps AMD in business. Intel is still Goliath.
Nothing from AMD beats the i3 12100F. If only B660 boards were cheaper then it would be an absolute no-brainer
@@GewelReal people chatting shit like always
I was merely curious about the possibility of building a desktop computer, and I clicked on your video to check out which motherboard is best for me. You sir are the only person I have seen that's been so thorough, straight to the point, organized and even thought of things I didn't even consider about. You definitely deserve more subscribers.
We love to hear it! Thank you so much for watching.
WOW, this was so helpful, thankyou so much! You helped a first timer builder get to understand the differences between boards and how well the processors and mobo combinations work well together. Everything about this was so clear and easy to understand. I especially loved how you actually showed images of the motherboards rather than just listing them, this helped me visualise and understand more about it.
Glad it was helpful! Subscribe for more :)
I've mostly had my list ready for my 5800X3D build, but was unsure of how to determine what mobo you use. I've had a few looks at suggested lists, but the prices seemed very varies just for 550 mobos.
This video really was perfect for helping me to know what I actually need for my gaming setup.
Glad I could help! Best wishes on your build! And we do have a Best Ryzen Motherboard 2023 video you can check out as well
I bought the Aorus x570 Elite Wifi about 2 years ago, great board so far. Only complaint would be I wish it had more than two M.2 slots.
This is probably the most detailed and most helpful video I've seen in terms of motherboard choices for budget builders like.
Very good content. Subbed.
So one of the main advantages to the Dark Hero is the fact that you can set up the OC to switch between PBO and all core overclocking based on the power draw of the CPU. It addresses one of the weak points of AMD CPU OC that most don't even bother with. PBO is great for normal day to day stuff and gaming but if you want to max out the CPU for multi core workloads then PBO isn't as good as all core. All core is good for hard core productivity but not so much for gaming. Properly set up the Dark Hero covers both of the approaches.
My MSI B450 Pro Carbon AC started malfunctioning and after some research I identified two mobos I want to choose between: the AORUS ELITE AX V2 and TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI. Stumbled upon your video only to be re-affirmed I picked well. I don't really know which one to choose still but considering my current MSI one's failing, I think I'll give the Gigabyte one a shot.
A 30 minute video wow
Keep up the great work Jason ❤
Thanks!!! This one was a beast to produce!
Best B450m budget board definitely is MSI B450M Mortar Max. Good connectivity, 2 nvme slots, 4 ram slots, good vrms, fantastic heatsink. And it usually costs only around 80EUR in EU. Only problem was that it was hard to find in US.
Have the same board as you have paired with a 3600, solid as a rock and love the two NVMe slots which contain both a crucial 500Gb stick.
And it doesn't have a Xmas tree amount of rgb leds, yup am not a RGB fan 😁
@@Kakariki73 it does have rgb along one side, and you can make them pulse and stuff like that. From your comment i wasnt sure if you knew it.
@@arta73 oh yes I know, i recall being annoyed installing mystic light just so i could turn it off, but then I noticed I could configure it as a CPU temperature meter and thus using that strip of RGB to see how much I let my CPU suffer at a glance 😁
P.s. What strikes me as weird that you cannot turn off those RGB leds in the bios, also heard the same with other board manufacturers
I have the same board. Can I use a 5800x3d there? My gpu is msi 3060 gaming x.
Great video! I just finished building my pc and I’m glad that I listen to your recommendations. Thank you so much!
Congrats on your build! So glad we could help
MSI B550 Unify is a one of a kind board if you plan to use a lot of M.2 storage instead of 2.5" drives. 4 slots on the board with heatsinks, phenomenal! Also has insane VRM (90A Power Stages) and the biggest heatsinks ever seen on a motherboard.
Congratulatios for the 100th uploaded video! All of them are really detailed and quality content. Amazing dedication and time went into making theese videos and I think we all wish for many more to come! This is a great achievement worthy of celebration!
Oh my gosh we didn't even notice! Thank you for the comment and for the well wishes. It means a ton to us. Hope you keep enjoying the videos!
Got an X570 for $110 used. The Auros X570 Elite. Perfect board for the price. Most in that price range don’t have heatsinks or IO covers etc. It was actually cheaper than most B550 used boards too.
I'd also check out the AsRock X570 PG VELOCITA for around $230 currently. Many of the same features as their Taichi 570, but with an additional USB 3.2 header onboard. And its cheaper by $50. (I've built systems with both).
Bro I choose Asus b550 tuf gaming plus wifi II ........ should I buy it or is there other one better than it with same price??
Nice! Why would you choose the Rog Strix ITX above the Gigabyte B550I AORUS PRO AX ITX? : ) I actually cant find the Asusin stock anywhere... : ( Is there a new one? Looking for a build with a Ryzen 5600 : )
For ITX, I would spend the extra $50 and go with the Strix X570i. It has loads more USB connectivity on the back which is definitely something you can't upgrade later.
Definitely an option.
Awesome video, Jason! I'm going with the ASUS TUF Gaming B550-Plus WIFI II for around €160 for my upcoming gaming PC! Your video has helped me a ton to find the right one for me! Sad, that this motherboard only uses DP 1.2. But on the other hand, I only have a high refresh rate 1440p monitor right now and HDMI 2.1 has me covered in case I buy a 4K high refresh rate monitor in the future! :D
the Ryzen 5600 looks good to pair with the B550 Aorus Elite , Can't wait to build a PC just waiting on my birthday to start canvassing for the parts
Yes and GPUs prices continue to fall! Happy Birthday!
@@PCBuilderChannel thankyou very much😁 Looking forward to the 5600 benchmarks in the future
It’s 2023 and I’m still struggling to find what motherboard I need for my 5600x, thanks to this video, it helped a lot. Thanks mate 🙏🏽
Glad I could help!
This guy releases the most straight to the point videos ever
Thank you!!
This is my first time building a PC and for four days straight I've felt like this experience of researching parts is like standing in a car lot with 20 salespeople recommending all types of cars. Your channel has really truly helped me in narrowing down the best components. Thanks!
Love to hear it! So happy you've found the channel useful! Good luck with the build!
I have noticed video cards these days are a lot bigger... So the layout can pose to be a problem for me sometimes.
I swapped my CPU and M/B with my sons PC to give him a temporary upgrade.
My 5700XT card takes up so much room I cannot access any of my PCIe slots underneath it unfortunately
B550 chipset remains my choice for AM4. You get PCIe Gen4 for one GPU and one SSD. That's all a gaming rig truly needs.
Get ASUS if you want to overclock -- very reliable for it, especially the ROG Strix line. Save some cash and get ASRock if you're less concerned with overclocking and just want the most value for your money.
LISTEN UP: i HIGHLY recommend the ASROCK B550m steel legend, its an excellent board AND THE SAME PRICE AS THE CHEAP B550 SHOWN HERE. i paid $110 for mine on amazon, its a much better board for the price, i have a 5800x and stress tested the crap out of the board. a full 12 hours of full load with no issues what so ever
I Love ASRock Boards.. I have a B550 Velocita and I still have my first ASRock board the X370 Taichi.. I was a Day 1 First gen Ryzen adopter.. I started out with a 1700 overclocked to 3.9Ghz, then I dropped in a 2700X with FlareX 3200 CL14, But I am getting ready to sell my older rig to a buddy at work.. I still love that X370 Taichi Though.. I got a lot of use out of it also it runs Ryzen 5000 series chips too.. ASRock has kept their people up to date with new BIOS's for a long time now..
Still very helpful in mid November of 2023! Picked up a 5900x on sale along with a 4080 and felt like the motherboard I got wasn’t the best deal/option. I got a MPG B550 Gaming Plus from Bestbuy for $160, but felt like I could get a better deal for a better board. Ended up getting a Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX V2 for $136. Thanks for the help!
Glad we could help!
Where did you get it for that price?
@@momensaber1189 Amazon, truly wish I hadn’t. The MSI board was better is almost every way, it just didn’t have 2.5g ethernet and wifi/bluetooth.
@@MainelyElectrons which msi you mean? And msi or ROG Strix f?
As always jam packed with info put into easily understandable terms and timestamps to help when looking back for certain info, love the vids and the channel!
Much appreciated!
Just built a B550 with a 5600x and couldn't be happier. Great combo.
Good choice!
Hi Jason I have a quick question for you. I want to upgrade my pc as its getting pretty old. Im going to keep the gpu - gtx 1080 - but i am thinking of changing the cpu to the ryzen 5 5600x, and the motherboard to an Asus tuf gaming b450 plus II. All supplied with a 550 watt psu. Would this be a good choice, or should I swap one or two things out? I would really appreciate a reply! Thanks!
it guy NW architect for the last 30 years.. headache trying to get up to speed on builds after 15 years of building down time.. Just trying to place a Ryzen 9 5900x on the right MB. . Good stuff man.
in my 2022 build to replace my MSI 760G-MP35 (AM3) I went with the MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max ATX Board, 16 GB DDR4 memory and a Ryzen 5 5600G. I also upgraded my chassis from a Cooler master Elite 310 to a Raidmax ATX-1WLB chassis and transferred over all the hardware. (hard drives, DVD-RW Drives, and RGB) I also bought my first M.2 Drive and went with a crucial 250GB chip to start me off. for anyone looking for a inexpensive chassis, the Raidmax ATX-1WLB is a great buy. starting at $14.99 W/O PSU, its a great way to start a custom build! Thank you so much for this video! the information is invaluable!
So glad we could help!
This is a great video Jason. I've had several ASUS boards and now have a MSI B450 Tomahawk Max. My first MSI board. It's been a good the past couple of years. I noticed you don't really recommend MSI boards and prefer Gigabyte boards typically. Any reason for both? I really like your channel. I'm definitely a new sub.
Hi Jason, I just received my Aorus B550 Elite AX V2 MB and was looking through the specs and apparently the MB says it supports 3200 speed RAM. I have purchased 2 (16x2) sticks of T-Force 3600 Ram. Will these 2 sticks of 32 MB RAM work or do I need to send them back and get 3200 speed?
I have been using a X570 AORUS ELITE for almost three years 16+ hours a day without any issues including the chipset fan. It's been a very good board... Thinking about upgrading the 3600x cpu now maybe the 5700x or 5900x. I game every day but it's unreal and does not need the new 3d cpu.
First, I have to say that your video is amazing and helped me a ton figuring out current motherboard (haven't built a pc since 2014?/my current i7-3770k setup).
I do have issues with USB (since when there is so much usb type? lol) I get that when I try to get the GIGABYTE B550 AORUS PRO AC with my Lian li o11 air mini on pcpartpicker
Note: A USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 header adapter is required.
Note: A USB 3.2 Gen 1 to USB 3.2 Gen 2 header adapter is required.
Hi great video, I have one question, would these motherboards be good for my Ryzen 3700x?
Just completed my 1st PC build using ASRock B450 ITX paired MB with the Ryzen 5600g. Love how it came out. Now I'm on the hunt for the GPU!
Congrats on your build! See our Best GPU for Gaming 2022 video if that is helpful
Seems like my Aorus Gigabyte B550 pro is still a number 1 killer in 2022, I've had the board for nearly 9 months now and its been superb through out ! Thanks for the vid and your original recommendation for this board last year 🙂
So glad you've been loving it! Happy to help (;
Same here mate, I have Aorus B550 pro AC from July 2020, for almost 200€ ... It is still one of the best MBs out there.
Hey please anyone tell which one should I choose ( Asus tuf gaming B550 plus wifi II) or ( Asus rog strix B550F) please replyyyyyyyyyyyy
My original build was a Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite paired with a Ryzen 7 2700X, 16GB ram & an Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 OC, it was a great system & still is. I recently got a new case the Phanteks P360A to build a new rig, I was running a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite wifi paired with a Ryzen 7 5800X, 16GB of faster ram & an RTX 3070. Recently I was browsing through ebay looking for some parts for a different PC build & I stumbled upon a Gigabyte X570S Aorus Master listed as “for parts/not working” only because it was unable to be tested. Apparently all the items in the sellers store are sourced from Amazon customer returns. It was listed for $150 & there was 30 day free returns so I decided to take a chance in ordering the board. I figured worse case scenario it doesn’t work & I send it back to get a refund. The board arrived a few days ago & I was shocked. It came in the original box, all accessories & original contents were also in the box still in original packaging sealed & unopened. The board itself was super clean & looked virtually untouched although I could see it was at least mounted at some point. None the less I installed the board & put my PC back together & the board works absolutely great looks nice! I’m super thankful I was able to snag a nearly $400 X570S Aorus Master motherboard for $150 which is just over what I originally paid a couple months ago for the X570 Aorus Elite wifi. I had ended up building my B450 platform into a Tecware Vega L case to have a PC out in the kitchen computer area.. only to disassemble that whole build 2 months later because I bought a new Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro AC motherboard & snagged an RTX 3050 for under $400 when they came out so the kitchen PC has B550 Aorus Pro AC paired with a Ryzen 7 2700X, 16GB of 3200 Mhz ram & an RTX 3050. I actually got an extra Ryzen 7 2700X because I ordered a working used one & they packaged it poorly so it arrived with over a dozen bent pins, I was refunded for the CPU & ended up preforming surgery to try & place all the pins back to their original position. It actually went very well & I managed to get all the pins looking like new again, best part is the CPU slotted right in & we got post. I think I’m just going to build the B450 Aorus Elite paired with the free Ryzen 7 2700X, 16GB ram & the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 OC into my Draco case that is currently unused since I bought the new Phanteks case for my personal rig.
Sorry that was a novel, I just thought it was interesting since I currently have 3 of the main 4 motherboard chipsets talked about in the video, B450, B550, X570 both versions regular & S
It's better rog strix b550-f gaming or tuf gaming b550 wifi for ryzen 5 5600?
Good job on the info. I do agree that fan on chipset will always cause problem......if not now then later.
Can you please help me in selection. I am getting a ryzen 7 5800x .....mainly gamer with photo and video editing sometime.....love good audio - I do have an external 5.1 yamaha amp.
B550-F rog strix wifi at $190
B550 Aorus elite with wifi at $200
GIGABYTE X570S AORUS ELITE at $209
which one should i pick?

Hi, should I get asus tuf b550 plus wifi II or plus wifi? is there any big difference between them
The wifi on the ii board is upgraded so I'd do that
Liking my ASrock B550 Taichi, paid $219 for it as well. Running a 5900X on it
Hi. Im about to buy aorus b550 master motherboard. Do you recommend ryzen 7 or ryzen 9 in this motherboard? Hope you can answer my question thanks. Great video anyway.
Hello! Sounds like you might be building a little backwards. The linch pin of your build should be the GPU/CPU you that fit your needs. After that you build around it. Why don't you check out our Best CPU/GPU Combo 2022 video so see what you need, then go from there.
Hi, i love ur videos. Does B450 support for RTX 3080 gpu with PCIe 4? Because I have a B450 and will upgrade the gpu to 3080.Please let me know
Nice video keep it up but i have a question should i buy Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE V2 for 135 or asus tuf gaming b550-plus for 140. Would be grateful if you answer.
Thanks for the video. I'm going with Ryzen 5600x with Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro AC . I'm sure I'll be Alright?
Just got the parts for new my build, AsRock X570 Taichi, AMD 5900X and 32 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 CL16, 1 TB Sabrent Rocket 4 + M.2 and WD SN850 Black 2 TB M.2. Prices have come down lately. Kept it all under $1300. Already have a nice case, power supply and video card. Replacing this old i-7 2600k build. Very nice videos, clear and concise information.
Best of luck on your build!! Show it off when its done @pcbuilderjason if you like. So glad you enjoyed the videos!
I upgraded, 3 days ago, from AM4 x470F Asus Strix Gaming to Gigabyte x570S Aorus Elite AX and i can say is a huge upgrade,all my components work so great now!(cpu 5900x, 4x8GB sticks ddr4 3200 cl14 Gskil trident,2xnvme ssd,cooler x62Kraken Nzxt,gpu 7900XT Sapphire Nitro vaporX,6x vents case Lian li argb,3x ssd sata.)
great video. got a Rog Strix X470-F mobo. will it hold a 5800x3d or doo i need to change?
Will the ASUS TUF Gaming A520M-PLUS WiFi require a BIOS update? I’d rather get another motherboard that doesn’t require it in that case as I’m not used to this stuff:/
Just ordered the MSI B550 PRO-VDH WIFI for a new ryzen 5 5600x upgrade. Thanks a ton!
Would you recommend me aorus b550 pro-p? or asrock b550 steel legend?
I watch this video late as I have already bought a PC recently and won't be buying for a long time. I upgraded my own PC with the ROG Strix B550-F which you recommended and the only thing I don't like is the lack of top RGB/ARGB headers. I could have avoided the RGB controller I have today as I need to get an extension to get to the header which is placed on the bottom of the board. Other than that it's sweet. I got it mostly for the BIOS flashback feature as I was not sure it would support my 5600X out of the box. The amazingly cool ROG "eye" logo does look amazing though and I like it tells you if the power switch on the PSU is off or on. I also think you forgot to mention the Asrock Phantom Gaming 4 board (I just watched the B500 portion of the video and I saw actually nothing from Asrock). Now, I have a love/hate relationship with this board because that's the one that's running the new build I put together recently for my son and it's running great on a 3600X overclocked to 4600Mhz at 1.2v. It also has plenty of headers and overall it seems like a really good board, allowing overclocking, decent connectivity (yes missing latest USBs but that's expected at this price point), and I think a good software suite (needs latest BIOS to run the RGB software correctly though). It is definitely inexpensive and low end, but there are two caveats with it. One, it kept crashing with 3600 speed RAM, it works perfectly stable with 3200. It did pick up the correct 3600 XMP profile but the speed kept reading 3200 with the 3600 sticks so maybe it doesn't support those memory sticks. Second, my motherboard was DOA and when I returned it, that's when I paid the difference and got the ROG instead.
What do you think is better, asus strix b550A or gigabyte b550 aorus pro ac. Im pairing it with ryzen 5 5600
Hi, Jason, I currently have a MSI Tomahawk B-450 Max motherboard with a Ryzen 3700x. I wanted to upgrade the best CPU for gaming purposes, what do you recommend?
I have a msi b450 carbon ac mobo, with a 5800x3d and rtx 3090. Should I upgrade to a b550 or x570 mobo? And will I see a benefit on this?
This is by far some of the most valuable info that we all needed. Unless you are already knowledgeable about pcs you would have to dig for hours to get the level of info in this one video. Simple questions and problems we all need to know that could get overlooked that even high end pc builders don't mention. Love the video.
Thank you so much for the great feedback! It means a lot to us and we really appreciate it
Hi Hope you would reply. I purchased Ryzen 7 5700G and planning to buy MPG MSI B550 gaming plus in combination with PCei 4 nvme ssd. Now my question is DOES 5700G support PCei 4 SSD?? Hope you have a good day. Please suggest.
Is a Ryzen 7 2700 too much for the PRIME B450M-A II? Its 8-core, but only has a 65W TDP. I understood from your 2021 review that the PRIME B450M-A II was more for 4 or 6-core CPUs because of the less-than-robust VRM, but this review appears to indicate that an 8-core would be OK on this MB. Objective - I'm replacing the MB in my parents' desktop (read that as surfing the web, checking email, Skyping and playing iTunes) and bought a PRIME B450M-A II to use with a 2700 that I have left over after upgrading my own system. Option is to get a 5600G, go with integrated graphics and stick the 2700 and old GPU in a drawer. Thoughts?
Hey jason, great video as always. But out of curiosity. You mentioned you would recommend the aorus pro - p up to a r9 5900x. So by logic, the 5800x3d would be fine there as well? I realize it's not out yet but I just had to ask. Mostly because I have a case that can only fit a MATX, ITX mobo and I have no intention of replacing it cause I'm still inlove with it.
Thanks in advance! Keep up the great videos man!
Yes, it would work just fine!
My friend, do you use a 5900x on the aorus pro p? works on rendering in CPU? the vrm is ok?
one question. You recommend the b550 aorus elite. and i have the elite v2 which one is better?
The v2 has front panel usb type C for the case. So either are fine but if you don't need the front panel type C then you can go for the cheaper version without it.
Another issue with Asrock boards are the memory slots with a clip on one side only and the comments in review sections are many about this creating memory problems. I had an Asrock B550 MB give me memory issues. I got lucky with the X570 boards.
The X570S Auros Elite is a GREAT board.
The b550 aorus elite V2 is the same motherboard as the V1 right??
Yes they just drop one rear USB port to add the front panel USB Type C header.
so i have a b550-f for my planned ryzen 5 3600 build (sticking to midrange until i have a bigger budget), but its good to know that its an amazing option for future proofing!
I currently have a asus b450-f motherboard and I’m looking to upgrade from a ryzen 3 2300x to a ryzen 7 3800x.
Will this be a good choice to make?
is the MSI X570-A PRO ATX AMD Motherboard for $200 good?
Thank you so much...I've been looking for someone who'd advice us, pc gamers, on which motherboards, or chipsets, we should choose when building a brand new PC. And you sir, just made the perfect video! New sub and like..!
So glad this is helpful! Thank you for the sub and welcome to the channel!
the system I have at the minute is a Ryzen 3700x , MSI Meg Ace X570 , Rtx 3060 12 GB .... have you any recommendations for an upgrade ? ...many thanks in advance Shaun.
Opinion on MSI MPG X570S CARBON MAX WIFI, it was this motherboard or GIGABYTE X570s Aorus Master (I have a 5950x)
Hi Jason, do these boards support DDR5? And is DDR5 worth it in your opinion?
Hi! So which motherboard is best vfm for gaming, with a 5800x3d and a 7900xt?
Just what I needed! I was going off your 2021 list a few days ago
Perfect! Glad we could help!
So with amd putting out a new cpu soon would you now recommend x570 motherboards? I have been hearing they aren't worth it but if I want future proof.. 🤷🏾♀️
x570 is not future proof. It doesn't offer any additional features that B550 doesn't have. It's just a board thats focused on high end creator workloads rather than gaming. So if you are a high end creator then x570 is worth it. If not, there is no reason to get a x570
I love my ASRock Steel Legend B550M, no problems and was already ready for my 5600. I like the RGB options, too.
I'm looking to build a sff PC. Is the ROG b550i really the only one you would recommend for itx?
i want to build at the moment r5 5600g with ASUS Prime B450M-A II - Is it possible in the future to add a card like RTX 3060 or RX 6600 XT or higher without change the motherboard ?
i am getting R7 5700x with Rx 6800 which mobo is the best for this build? is MSI B550-A PRO ProSeries a good choice?
Just got the Asus Rog b550-i. And I'm very happy with it so far.
Suprisingly easy to install in, as well, apart from the front audio header that is a bit of a squeeze.
nice!
Hi Jason, hope you're doing well. I'm thinking of buying the Ryzen 7 5700g APU.
I will upgrade to a dedicated GPU in about 1 year's time, what would be the best motherboard to buy for the long run.
I will be using this system for about 6-7 years. I am mostly going to be using the system for gaming purposes. Game Emulation
Hello! Thinking ahead to some upgrades I'd grab a B550 now then. Expand the description for links, any of the budget B550 we recommend would work well for this
Great video. I went X570 Aorus Master. Massive overkill but fancied trying a high end board. I'll probably go with a B550 level board next time but can't fault the Gigabyte. Just need to drop my 5800X3D CPU in now. Should last a few years 😉
How are you liking the 3xd?
wish i would have found your channel before i bought my x570 for my 5900x.. good stuff
I've been having a horrible experience with the Asus B550-F gaming wifi motherboard. I just built my first PC and this motherboard has completely wrecked and experience I was really looking forward to. Basically all the 1 dtar reviews on Amazon sum up exactly what I'm dealing with. I'm so upset, I was super excited to get my PC up and running and gaming and it's been nothing but problems.
It’s been fine for me

Hey! thanks for the thorough explanation!
What about the MSI B550 Tomahawk motherboard? Is it any good?
I bought a Ryzen 5 5600G at around 159$ at sale, and I found that motherboard in sale aswell, at around 80$ here in Morocco, so I had to jump on it, I still haven't gotten the products back, so I was wondering, would those two be a good pairing? or would I encounter any issues?
Thanks !
