Some misleading comments here. This board has full PCIe 5x16 GPU and 5x4 M2 slots without restriction and is an upgrade from the B650E Steel Legend in every way for less, just strange naming from Asrock. PCIE2 (3x4) shares bandwidth with 2 of the 4 SATA ports and will downgrade to 3x2 if they're occupied but that's it. You've also benchmarked with 7200 ram setup completely wrong for a 7800X3D, needs to be 6000 if you're going to just run stock
I saw it selling on a indonesian website i think, but they taking a year to start selling it worldwide, and i just need a motherboard to finish the build... anyways unlucky will need to get something else
@@yeahk241Was just an expression with the "year long waiting", anyways they announced start of january and they did another post's about it like 2 days ago. Almost march and not even a single release date. It's a shame i will need to get other board 7800x3d with deepcool ak500 digital 7800xt 6000 cl30 32gb Lian li lancool 216
This one will look with this motherboard ... www.funkykit.com/reviews/video-cards/asrock-radeon-rx-7900-xt-phantom-gaming-white-20gb-oc-graphics-card-review/
This is either a B650E chipset or Asrock is misleading about the Pcie 5x16 Gen-5 GPU slot , because the B650 chiplet does not support Pcie 5x16 for the GPU.
You are correct. It appears that the slot is PCIe 5.0 x16 slot on this motherboard is not designed for graphics. But it can be used for PCIe 5.0 devices such as NVMe etc. Link: tinyurl.com/yckedruy
If you look at the Blok diagram in the manual, you can see the ambiguity. From the CPU it nominates Gen4x16 AND Gen5x16. Strange!! It might be switching Gen. Depending how you fill your slots. This is fishi marketing by Asrock. I bet a lot of people who bought this MB just believed what they read.
I’m thinking of buying the B650E version instead of the normal version but those extra $20 ($200) already reach the import tax limit in my country and I’m thinking about it, I hope I can find it at a discount for some $190 or $180 to be able to buy without customs problems, since due to the Taces it goes over $200 and they charge me import tax

So if i use 1 of the nvme slot and 2 sata slot (ssd and hdd) there is no downgrade of PCIe x16 GFX slot?
Yes you can do that with no downgrade to anything. Only reduction is on the bottom PCIe slot if 3+ SATA ports are needed
Are u sure about pcie gpu 5.0 slot?
@@zvezdanlipovac3394 Yes, check the website of the board.
@@zvezdanlipovac3394 Yes 100%
If this is was announced before I bought the X670E I would love to buy this motherboard at most the B650E.
8:52 the GPU sag is driving me crazy! Well done on the video, very informative, thanks
Gyat
Lol … that GPU sag is a real struggle 😂
Cool looks good!
I've had my eye on this motherboard since it was announced, any idea when it will be released?

@@realisticinsider Oh cool man, what are your specs?
Also what's your source for the year-long wait time for worldwide availability?

Seen it in the uk at scan uk
Release date?
you forgot to reinstall the heatsink for the ssd right? or do you not need to install it, since the ssd has its own heatsink?
for my next mobo im def going with Asrock no more Asus for me
@AnonymousUser-ww6ns the amount of bad apples Asus has have been increasing exponentially
A brilliant B650 MOBO but the availability is scare.
Do they make this board or an identical spec MB that is black??
You should have gone with the 7800XT Steel Legend motherboard for truly all wihte PC.
This one will look with this motherboard ... www.funkykit.com/reviews/video-cards/asrock-radeon-rx-7900-xt-phantom-gaming-white-20gb-oc-graphics-card-review/
@@Funkykit That's great, will look awesome, will you make a video?
Does this mobo support nvidea cards? or only amd?
It supports both AMD and Nvidia graphics cards 👍
@@Funkykit Thank you! i couldnt easily find any info on retail pages for some reason. Still learning the ropes
@@henry3k90 its always both also for intel boards
@@JimMcBeam good to know thanks a bunch!
Just bought this for 198€ kinda hard to find so i think was good deal
Wow 198EU? Here price is 230EU.
@koraykorac5463 yeah but actually I got it for 185€
@@__alves_ Very good price mate. Here evryting is overprice. Are you satisfied? How is the boot time and vrm cooling?

BTW.. The review sites (including this site) should pick up on this, rather than blindly regurgitating Asrock Specs.
Nice specs
does the b650 steel legend have rgb on the m2 slot?
Isn't this the B650E ?
no, it's new
What the previous person said.
No, this is new. I've read rumors that this board is supposed to be sub $200 but I'm not holding my breath
for some reason it shows as 340 dollars for me bruh
Are you sure it wasn't a B650E version?
@@Funkykit Dont worry it was an error with the location, all fixed now
Still would go for Taichi Lite, though
the gpu is sagging
Was this sponsored by ASrock? Sure feels like it
tis a fine line between gorgeous and tacky
utterly generic motherboard like most other motherboards, just with a ridiculous amount of usb
Not at that price. Rip off

coped it for 119 usd LESS GOO 180 originally but had a -$75 coupon
