Don't forget to mention that if you run both M.2 slots on the motherboard your PCI-E first slot goes down to 8 time and your second goes down to 4 times.
@@chrisgg i found out from what I can tell it DOES decrease speeds in the PCI express. Better off using the main and secondary slots directly on the board for your OS and Main storages. Then if you want subsidiary storage that doesn't need to be necessarily super fast then use the card expansion

Just want to say, you missed the waterblock port that's above the cpu, near the two 8-pin CPU power connectors. Also, if you keep having camera focusing problems, Maybe switch those sections to B-roll footage. We don't need to see you pointing out a connector, or section in real-time. Once done with your primary filming, and rough edit, go back and film some B-roll footage of you pointing at the parts you were talking about in the video. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for video! Can you answer a quick question about the RGB on this mobo?

I'm wondering if it persists once it's set or if it gets reset to default as soon as you leave windows. Thanks for your time if you get a chance to test this!
This board only advertises usb4, but it uses a thunderbolt 4 controller. Are you able to test somehow if the thunderbolt 4 support works or is enabled?

Hi, you'll need to download Asus's Armour Crate software, and from there you should be able to tinker with it via the Device Tab. Asus made a tutorial on the AniMe Matrix for it's laptop, but it should work quite similar to the X670E Extreme as well ruclips.net/video/PKMilJ3XFs4/видео.html
Just got this board...I have 5 m.2s for this....(A 990 Pro 2TB for my system drive and 3 4TB and a 8TB drive). Which slot should I install the 990 Pro 2TB for fastest speed? On the board itself or one of the PCI adaptors? Thanks for the help!
for your fastest drive (990 Pro), we would recommend putting it to the board itself, as those will be direct connection to the CPU and both will be running on PCI-e Gen5x4, which will enable you to take full advantage of that new super-fast SSD you got there. 😉
Have you ever used the Gen-Z.2 card yet? I have not found any installation videos. I tried but for some reason it bends my SSDs sllightly, which worries me.
@@Evenaardez sorry bro, but we didn't get a chance to try that, as we returned that motherboard to Asus already :) we only used the onboard nvme slot for our storage
yup! it will still work. With both of the slot occupied, the 1st and 2nd slot will be running PCI-E gen5 in x8 bandwidth (which will have the same bandwidth as gen4 x16). :)
@@Tech5Productions Thanks. My question was about accessibility though. As in, will the 4090, being a super thick card, actually BLOCK or cover the 2nd PCIE slot, preventing it from being used?

in your opinion, if running just one 2tb Samsung 990 pro m.2 drive, would you install it in the M.2_1 slot or the alternate Z.2 DIMM slot and just use the gen 5 side with heatsink? Thank you!
@@ernestprobinson1193 thanks, this is what I went with. I just ordered a 4TB Western Digital Black 850x m.2 nvme drive that should be in today.

To be honest, I’m just ready for the 7950x3D cpu to come out February 28th so I can try and get it at first release. I assume many will be waiting for the 7800x3D to release later and skip buying a 7900x3D or 7950x3D at the end of February. I just hope that the 7950x3D is going to be better than the 13900k/ks in a broad selection of Games and not just a small handful. In games that don’t utilize much L3 Cache, I assume that the 13900k and ks will still take the lead. Hopefully the reviewers will get their hands on these new 3D cpus soon!
I don't see why not. But they will not be running 16 times speed. They will go down to 8 and 8 and if you use more than 1 m.2 drive, they second one will go down to 4.
Yup, it should be able to. As from what I recall, SLI/NVLINK just require 2 of the pcie slot to be running at least x8 bandwidth. So this board will certainly be capable of that.
yup, if i recall from the user manual. when the 2nd m2 slot is used, the bandwidth of the top pcie lane lane will be x8 and the bottom one will be x4. :) so you are correct there :)
now i understand why their huge case has 2 front full speed usb c - my intel version (the z790 maximus extreme) does NOT allow for 2 front usb 3.2 gen 2.2😂😂😂 what a joke. if you compare am5/x670(e) vs z790 the only thing really better is a doubled speed to the southbridge😂 everything else is way better on the amd side😂

The sight of Wraith Prism put a smile on my face
Indeed! Hopefully 1 day AMD will decide to bring this cooler back!
Don't forget to mention that if you run both M.2 slots on the motherboard your PCI-E first slot goes down to 8 time and your second goes down to 4 times.
Asus has been doing this for years on just about every ROG board. People are just too dumb to actually figure it out or spend time reading the manual.
So I should put my (2) m.2 ssds in the PCI holder? Instead of putting in 1st and 2nd slots directly on motherboard?
