You counted 6 red USB...The 7th is the Bios update that can be used as a 7th high speed port when not needed for BIOS update. This was a great YT review. I just got one of these at a great price.
I just found this out today.
You said. "When a device is plugged into a PCIe 5.0 M.2 socket, regardless of whether it's a PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 device, the PCIe x16 5.0 slot will operate at x8 mode." True its true!
Yes, but there is a catch!
Per PCIe updated specifications:
The "x8" and "x16" refer to the number of lanes available for data transfer. PCIe 5.0 offers twice the bandwidth per lane compared to PCIe 4.0, so when you have a configuration of PCIe 5.0 x8, it provides a similar data transfer rate to PCIe 4.0 x16, because 5.0 x8 has the same total bandwidth as 4.0 x16.
Therefore, you won't typically experience a significant loss of performance with this generation of graphics cards or the likely next generation when running at PCIe 5.0 x8 speeds, especially for gaming and most common computing tasks.
You missed out on the audio system. They used ESS (not sure which chipset) and with better transistors for the audio me thinks. Not next gen but good enough. just sharing.
Excellent review Jason, thank you.
Just subscribed what a great review thanks very much. Ive decided this motherboard is not for me if it drops the speed of the top m.2
It doesn't drip the speed of the M.2.
For Asus you pay for the brand alone! This Gigabyte board overclasses the Maximus Hero Z790 by far in price/quality and performance in my opinion. Always had Asus MBs and they are really good but thank god I dared to switch. Got a Seagate Firecuda 540 M2 Gen 5 on this badboy and wauw what a speed. Nice vid.
good review learn many things
Great Review PK keep up the great videos.
I will try. Gets expensive lol
Which graphic card is good on this board
Just received my open box special from newegg and realize they failed to included the black cable. I have the braided sata cables. Think i saved $200, which is worth it, so now I just need to keep watching to see what those cables go to! PC case is pending delivery, so I can assemble and see if the board actually works! Of course, likely need to buy whatever black cable it is. I can't figure it out from any of the videos I've seen.
Just make sure to test the board before the return date lapses
Great job as always Jason ,,, man this is a pricey board. Guess if you want the very latest on cutting edge , you need to pay ... lol
Thx
as always another excellent review my friend
Thx much
Thanks for review , please need oc dd5 , GPUs, cpu working stability, bios interface , more video about this board
Nice board. I don’t like the design but it does come with more or less everything you could need
I didnt get the manual in my box either. The z690 came with a manual so i agree with what you said. I think gigabyte is skimping out. I love gigabyte aorus products. Never have had any issues...knock on wood....
I don't get the point of a gen 5 m.2 slot that limits the gen 5 gpu slot
For right now this is how most MBs are that have gen5. I'm sure in the future it will change. Probably with Intel 15gen. It is a cpu limit
Awesome review dude, just wondering if you occupy the top M.2 slot you said it'll force the PCIe slot to run at x8... would be "gen5" x8 i assume.
Yes it would still be gen 5
Great review thank you AAA++++ its on my list to buy...very descriptive review...
Hello, thanks for the review. Do we need to take out the GPU in order to have access to the M.2 SSDs ? Imagine if I want to change one of the M.2 and have to take off the GPU, and in order to take of the GPU, I need to take off the CPU cooler ? Wouldn't it be better if all M.2 had independent heatsinks ? Thanks. 🙏👍
All MBd are different but, Yes you would need to remove it
Now nine months later any additional thoughts? Im thinking of this board
No but it has no issues since
good video be waiting for this board to come out that was 10GbE LAN on the back of the mother board??? in the uk it at £1,100.04 a lot
Yes it is
Great Review. Only wish you would cover white boards. This year( Nov 23) i would like to build an all-white system. Asus have all white board. However, Aorus white boards are limited. Suggestions for 2024 boards?
If someone wants to send me White boards I will. I buy what I use. They are not free
That a nice motherboard. I can't wait to see the build videos. Thanks Planet Kryos 10/08/2023 1652
great review.,
You are counter-intuitive by saying a M.2 NVME relocation will "help out the CPU".
crap i putted my corsair t 700 pop directly to the m.5 big as heathsink and now he is glued stick there because of the black glue thing shoudl i let it here because my 4070 ti super dont go full speed now for real^
I just bought this mbo . My question is how my 3090 will perform if i install a gen5 m.2 ?
A gpu does not go in a m.2 slot. M.2 slots are for storage drives. A GPU goes in a PCIe slot
Are you M.2 heatsink, either for the pcie 5 slot or the big flat one super jingly jangly and just flop around like they’re not held in tightly? That’s what my new master X is like that just came.
Not too sure what you are saying. The m.2 PCIe upper most slot is meant t9 be loose
I got the xtreme x, correct me if I’m wrong but even tho your pcie becomes 8x due to a nvme ssd, there shouldn’t be a huge loss of performance for the gpu right?
Not a huge loss. Normal suff not at all. But I would need it for video editing rendering. If you are into mining it would. If it was a AAA game it might slightly.
The drives towards the bottom are much smaller than the top spaces. Would there be enough space for full sized m.2 at the bottom?
They all support 2280 standard size
what is differences between 1.0 vs. 1.1 please?? I joust bought V1.0! Any issues with 1.0 vs. 1.1? Would it be good to change it to 1.1 until I install the new system?
Honestly I don't even know if they make a 1.1 or a 1.2 version yet that may be future listings on their website this board was just released only a couple of months ago. So I don't and have not had any issues so far
I chose this board for my recent 19-13900k build and so far I couldnt be happier. Gigabyte did well on this one and it has the feature set I was looking for with out all the gaming flash like a lot of high end motherboards. Would have been nice to see usb-c display port on the I/O and a second maybe 2.5g lan port would have been good, but these are features I can live with out. While Asus quality has taken a shit and buying their products is hit and miss these days, Gigabyte has continued to improve. You also get more for your money with gigabyte. With Asus much of the premium price you pay is for the name, and quite honestly with their crappy quality lately, there name doesnt mean much to me
Nice. Yeah this board only offers a few extra features that the non-X model doesn't.
Have you had any issues with coil wine with the Master X refresh?
Well I have yet to use it. The build video will be coming soon
Do you think it’s okay for me to use a 4pin cpu to 8 pin cpu converter cable to power up the 2nd cpu 8port? I only have one 8pin cpu cable from my psu.
Why would you do that? Buy a correct PSU
I agree that Asus comes with more extra stuff in the box, along with a better box. But, the Asus Z790 Dark Hero costs $150 more and you still don't get a 10gb lan or the full implementation of wifi 7. Asus went kinda cheap on the wifi 7 part.
Yeah at the time I made the video the board was only $60 cheaper, then was able to get it through Amazon and sold by Amazon for $550. I'm sure gigabyte won't let me down. Thx for the comment
Hi, i got a MSI z690 with an 13600 and have 4 m.2 nvmes who are all bound to the chipset. (and win10 is on the one who is connected to the cpu.) Is that the reason my chipset is always around 80°C? thanks.
Never heard of anyone talking about the temp of their chipset
So you're saying the m.2 slot above the GPU is useless as itll slow it down?
For me yes. But for someone that is less gpu bound, then you can use it.
What header do I connect my 360 AIO cooler to?
Normally the the AIO/pump header.
sad this board didnt come with bluetooth
Is the a Z90 refresh that’s a mini itx board?
No clue what you are saying. This is a eATX board
Cuando sale a la venta ya me esta aburriendo la espera
You can buy it now. Click the link in description
I just got this board and there is a crackling sound and a high pitched buzz coming from the back of it where the cpu is . What do you think the issue is?
Have no idea. Probably coming from the chokes/vrms
Do you have a graphics card plugged in?
Lack of DP or HDMI and non customable display are just unforgetable 😢😢😢😢
What are you talking about?
i can't get my wifi to work, i have revisiom 1.0 amyome else have issues
What have you tried? Start with that
I will never use 10 fans headers.
No normal person will even a top gamer, when almost every case comes whit hub that connect the stuff.
Also so many usb ports is never going to be used just sitting dust on the motherboard.
So wry do anyone even what to buy it, at the first point, be realistic about the setup.
So alot off it is useless for a to big a price.
MSI pricepoint is even better for productivity motherboards.
Asus is for sure the most high priced motherboards in the world as it has been for a decade now.
Just because you would never do something and see no value in it, it doesn't mean someone else doesn't. I just installed 12 fans in my case for the new build. If you don't like it, don't do it. It is a high-end MB for high-end users. Seems like you are not one, so not for you. No problem with that. I happen to like mid to high-end MB for my personal pcs. That is the beauty of having many choices in life...in this case PC parts. Maybe you can't afford it, idk but that is fine as well. I can do over the top stuff for me, others, and on my own channel.
Aorus Master X or Asus Z790 Formula?
We all have choices
Which revision do you have? There are 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 in the gigabyte website.
Currently I have 1.0 but found the board $90 cheaper sold and shipped by Amazon. It will be 1.0 also most likely. They just came out
ASUS so much better than Gigabyte imo, but on Z690 I will admit Asus dropped the ball a fair bit & had a lot of QC issues.
I am a big fan on Asus also. But I also want variety on my channel, so giving them a shot
