*Some Clarification!*
A lot of the USB ports on this board really confused me, as the box wording included the internal headers, so then it made the notes for the rear I/O sound wrong.
The rear has 5 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A - (blue ports) & 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A - (red ports), the USB Type C is USB 3.2 Gen 2. (It would help if they didn't have *STUPID* naming)
The PCIe slot is *Gen 4,* and the audio chip is the Realtek ALC897
That's the LAN, not the DAC
Thanks, updated
I'm about 1 week away from ordering everything for my first build and choosing the motherboard has been the most difficult part. I'm learning a lot lol. I can't find anything that I'm truly happy with.
I need it for around £250 and so far the best I can see in that range is the x670E Tomahawk.
Anyone in here have any experience with this board. It's got plenty of bad reviews, as do they all!
I've not used that personally, one of my tech friends has though, I can ask him to reply. I do like the NZXT B650 (have video on it), I've used that a few times now and it's been great, little bit more expensive but has Gen 5 storage and GPU support. It's made by ASRock. Also matches the H6 😉
Thanks I’ll have a look at that one also. Tomahawk also has the Gen 5 options I’m looking for.
No worries. That's just one I've actually used so thought I'd mention it.
This board sucks! The x670E sucks! I can't get a good board
Thank you very much for this video!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching.
These Aorus Elite AX b650 and x670 make up all but 2 builds in my house. Simply the best value open box boards. The three B650 Aorus Elite AX were all $80 plus tax. The x670 version just cost me $100 plus tax. 4x x670 and 3x b650 in the house. With another b650e-e Strix ($120) and b550 for the shop.
These AE Ax boards have top of class VRM temps and 3 or 4 m2 slots all heatsink covered. Audio isn’t a concern because some output digital to receivers and the others already have dedicated sound cards for headphones or speakers.
All my perfectly good x570s with 5700x/5800x will soon be sold off for about the same price going to these with 7600x & good CL30 6000mt ram.
Sell AM4 hardware now, not because it isn’t good but if you find dirt cheap deals on AM5 then sell off AM4 while you can.
Glad to hear they're working well for you!
I bought this board for my first build. Works very well, looks very good in an all black build, and has a very nice bios! Something to note… I had an issue with the later bios versions where my graphics card would only run at pcie gen 4 x1 after a cold boot. After a restart the graphics card would run with all available lanes. I had to revert the very first bios version to fix this issue! Other than that, has been a great board!
I think you should use it in a build and make a review on its usability!
That's very odd, what a pain too!
I will be building with this, yes. Not sure when but eventually, I have a few in the works.
Lovely looking board, black and silver 😍I need a couple more SATA ports though
Sounds like you need a NAS
Another great video dude,
Thanks man!
Definitely looking out for a build using this board
I combined this board with a fractal design meshify 2 compact. The usb 3.2 header cable from the case was so stiff that i couldn’t propert connect it to the right-angled header on the board, and I think I’ve snapped the pins on it now. Using a 3.0 to 2.0 converter cable now to connect my front case ports.. just a heads up
Yeah, some of the Front I/O USB cables can be a right PITA to get in/how you want.
Is it bad that it's not pcie5x16? I don't know whether to buy this v2 board or its micro ATX version. help!!!
Not really, Gen 5 GPUs will be double the bandwidth of Gen 4, but the thing is they don't use the full throughput of Gen 4 yet. I think for most people Gen 5 storage will be more useful.
Were do i plug in my AIO PUMP it dosen't have any?
Use the CPU fan, then set it to 100% in the bios
@@jordanash is that official or just a work around ?I don’t wanna end up breaking parts I am looking at building using this board
I have that board be aware that it doesnt like 64gb only boots with ddr in 2 and 4 slots if you poulate it with 4 dimms it wont boot
Some AMD CPUs don't like all four sluts populated sometimes, have you updated the BIOS?
Yes latest version I’ll stick with the 32gb I have was a tad overkill going to 64gb if needed I could just plump for 2 32gb sticks 😂
Ah, fair enough then :)
I just bought version 1 on Amazon for $200 although I haven't received it yet. Do you recommend that you return version 1 and purchase version 2? Literally version 2 is 10 dollars cheaper and the bad thing is that doing the whole process of returning and buying again would take about 20 days.
Another problem is that I am not from the United States and there is a possibility that in the return time the offer will run out and I would also be losing the 30-day warranty they give me on the other components I bought at the same time (processor, ram, CPU cooling,)
Apparently the main difference was that the V2 supports 8000 series, but I'm sure that could be added with BIOS update, so I don;t think it#'ll be worth it.
30 days? That sounds super shady, everything should have at *least* a year if they're new components.
@@jordanash I know. I think it is best to use the motherboard that will arrive to me to be able to verify that all the components work. My best option was to buy everything on Amazon because in my country it would be about an additional 180 dollars for all the components
Are they new parts though? If so they should have manufactures warranty.
Another difference is the audio codec it has, which is Realtek® ALC1200 codec and version 1 does not have it.
How is it different from v1 though??
Someone else asked in the comments if you want more info, or Google one vs the other. As far as I know the main one was that this supports 8000 series. I don't know why a bios update couldn't sort that though
V2 supports slightly higher Ram speeds, but technically has slightly weaker VRM, but still very strong.
Again the unfortunate outdated audio codec ruins it for me. Please, check out the Asrock B650 Steel Legend with the terrific Realtek ALC4082 Audio Codec. Or just for fun the Biostar B650M-Silver with the great Realtek ALC1220 Audio Codec.
I was waiting for your comment 😝 I can see about the Asrock, but certain ones are hard to get, I don't have any contact with Biostar (I've tried). Both of those boards are quite a bit more expensive here though, so that'll be why this one doesn't have the latest codec. Like I said before though, if you're serious about sound you should get a soundcard.
@@jordanash It is such a pity that Biostar boards are as rare as hen's teeth even though they receive good reviews. However, the Aorus Elite AX V2 is quite a good value board under a 7600 or even a 7800X3D. Would be my choice you know when. Will you review soundcars?
I'll email them again. Yeah the Gen 5 storage would be handy for a lot of people. To be honest, I don't know if the videos would be popular enough to warrant doing them, it sucks when a video flops especially with a higher priced product (let alone flopping after spending multiple hours and days making it)
@@jordanash Fair enough.
I'd be happy to, but it's honestly heartbreaking when you spend so long and put so much effort into something for it to not even scrape 1000 views.
Hey man, not related to the video, but I want to ask your opinion. The difference between the PSU TUF Gaming 850w gold and PSU TUF Gaming 1000w gold is about 30 dollars in my country, which PSU should I choose, because both are more than enough for my needs, but because I like the design so I want to buy it. What do you think about this power supply?😄
No problem, happy to help anyway. I've found it to be a very good unit (1000w), the cables that come included are some of the best I've seen too. Some people have said they find it noisy, but from the few times I've used it I've not noticed that personally. I'm not sure if it's just a few units affected, a batch or what.
@@jordanash Thank you brother🙏, I really appreciate your opinion😉🤜
You're welcome, anytime
I'm switching from my i7 9700k to the Ryzen 7 7800x3d, do you think this board would be good for that? also should I update the bios? I'm worried about the burning problems with the Ryzen CPUs. Thank you!
Yeah, for sure. The burning problem 🤔 If I'm thinking about the right thing, that one effected the CPU on one specific motherboard from Asus, and has since been fixed anyway.
@@jordanash I'm talking about the one where it burned in one of the corners supposedly? I just learned about it sorry so don't know much, but if that's the one you mean then nice thanks! should I still update the bios or is it fine out the box?
Yeah that's the one, nothing to worry about ☺ I'd update it yeah, gives you more ram compatability and general stability improvements.
@@jordanash awesome! Thanks again
No problem
hi, i got a question: whats the difference between the gigabyte b650 aorus elite ax and gigabyte b650 aorus elite ax v2?? as i see it looks the same
Someone else commented this if you want more info, the main one is that the V2 supports 8000 series
@@jordanash thanks!
@@jordanash one last question, which one do you recommend? I just want a good mobo for my first build
No worries, appreciate you saying that
This is good, I like the Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2 too
I want to build this motherboard Ryzen 9 7900x. Good or bad
I usually say to scale the motherboard as you scale the CPU. The 7900x is high end so you could go higher with the board really.
@@jordanash please; You recommend me a good Matherbrod
The Asus TUF B650 Plus has been good for me, or the Strix B650-A
Can i use this board for 7900x?it will be better?
Yep, no worries
@@jordanash thanks brother ❤️
@@jordanash is there have any major difference between ax v2 and ax? please help me brother
Someone else commented this if you want more info, the main one is that the V2 supports 8000 series
@@jordanash thanks brother ❤️
Hi man, can you tell me what are the size for the watercooling because u think you didnt say it in the video and i dont find it on the internet thank you. (Sorry for my English, i don't speak English fluently).
*i think
The size of what sorry? The bracket you need is AM5. Don't apologise, no need ☺
@@jordanash if the watercooling is compatible with am5, is it good?
A lot of coolers are compatible with AM5, it depends what you're looking at if it will fit. Also, I can use your language and Google translate if it's easier
Thank you!😁
6 layer PCB and no pcie5x16? no thanks for this price
It's 8 as far as I know. It might be, the specs are all over the place. I'm going to get confirmation.
@@jordanash The V2 version is 6 layer PCB, The non V2 rev1.2 is best to get, For most it probably doesnt matter but I like the extra security and 8 layers are known to fail less often and have higher life
Seems they swapped the Gen 5 to the storage on the V2. depends if you want Gen 5 storage or PCIe I guess.
@@jordanash Weird choices, thank you for that info
No worries. This is the first Gen 5 storage board I've seen at this price. I think it could be more helpful to some people, as Gen 4 to Gen 5 storage speeds are very noticeable, especially as we don't have Gen 5 GPUs yet anyway
