Very happy I found this channel today! I put you at S tier on my tech tuber tier list - informative, to the point, and you have a great sense of humour :D
Great video! I’m thinking of buying the ASUS TUF x570 plus and pair it with a 5900x. Is this a good combo? Planning on using it for at least 5 years to come, hopefully longer. Also should I get 3600 mhz c18 ram or should I go for 3200 mhz c16. Cheers!
Thanks bud. Good combo. 3600Mhz for sure. RYZEN likes the width of the BUS more than timings. I thought I mentioned it in the video... Did I skip this part? amzn.to/3n4P0R2 is a little step up. Both boards are good. Chipset technically can live without the fan. TJ max is 125C and there's a PWM controller that would cut the power. ASUS should be able to replace the fan if you run into problems. Good RMA department.
@@GeorgeTech thanks for the answer! The placememt of the chipset fan is very far up and if you have a large graphics card it will be partially or almost completely covered according to others. The MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK seems very interesting, it is said to be one of the best boards for your money with better temps than other boards in this pricerange, might be worth looking in to!
I have this MB and it's very nice, only downside of Aorus Elite x570 is not having even 1 probe sensor port for external temp. I can't control my fans with loop coolant temperature, they are bind to CPU temp :( Also I have 3900x OC-ed to 4.5GHz CCD1 4.3GHz CCD2 with 1.34V voltage stable 24/7 with EKWB monoblock, so VRM temps are in 40c range. Seems you had to mess with settings more, this board is dead stable with high power delivery
Hey George, I have been watching plenty of reviews on different boards I have kinda narrowed it down to 4 boards X570 1 - Arous Elite, 2 - MSI Tomahawk, 3 - MSI Ace and 4 - ROG strix e gaming. I would like to know your thoughts on these boards, which one you would go for or any other recommendations I should look into.
Hey buddy, don’t stress too much about it. All the boards are within spec. AMD controls it. Check prices. My main focus always been stability that’s why I focused on vrm in this video. Cheap x570 is cheap for a reason. However, RYZEN is not a thread ripper so any board from your list is good. Elite is the most popular though. Gigabyte is on top of it with bios updates. Look at the features like wifi and the looks. Like I said power delivery is sufficient on all of them. Even if Asus has better VRM it doesn’t mean anything if your 12 cores doesn’t really use it if that makes sense.
@@jadebeast100 I have using the asrock x570 steel legend with 5900x and aorus 3080 master...no issues at all.....the temps on the cpu and gpu are great....after like 2 hours of gaming , the cpu only reaches 75 c and gpu remains under 64....over all I am happy with asrock x570 steel legend ....
So, I've subbed. Nice work. Now, in prepping for the imminent arrival of the AMD Ryzen 5000 cpus, I'm on the fence. Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite, or ASRock X570 Steel Legend? Thinking of OC potential here on both CPU and Mem. I'll probably upgrade memory (currently 4 x 8GB G-Skill 3200's) to make use of the 4000Mhz bandwidth (Trident 3600s perhaps), and re-use my CoolerMaster M240l to keep the temps on whatever CPU I end up with, either 5600X or 5800X. What's the BIOS support like at the moment - would I still need to do a BIOS upgrade on either of those boards?
X570 gives you more voltages to play with. Typically, X570 has a better VRM. Not all the time and not in the case of Aorus Elite... ASRock BIOS is a bit strange. Not all the values you lock in end up working. Look for the notes in a BIOS version. It needs to have AGESA v2 1.0.8.x microcode to support 5000. Worst case, I believe both of the boards you looking at has Flashback feature that pulls BIOS update file from USB without CPU installed. Zen3 has the exact same power delivery pin-out. So, I would assume it will boot with older BIOS but I have to test it. Probably, the first thing I'm gonna do. Let's wait on the RAM upgrade. We don't know for sure if 4000Mhz BUS is supported on Infinity fabric. It needs to be 1:1... M240L is great! If you stream and edit or not planning to upgrade for another 3 to 4 years 5800x is probably the way to go. 5600X should be plenty for current-gen games. I hope this helps, Warren. Cheers.
The better option would be a MSI x570 Tomahawk Wifi since it has much better Vrms then both of these boards, especially if you want to overclock. Gigabyte Aorus Elite and Asrock Steel Legend run around 20C hotter then the Tomahawk when overclocking a 3900x.

@@GeorgeTech So my hw arrived. Everything installed and running nice-ish. So it's the Steelseries X570, Ryzen 5600x and G-Skill Trident.Z neo - 32GB/3600. Currently pushing my CPU to 4.4Ghz, mem running at stock 3600. As mentioned, I have the CoolerMaster M240l AIO, and cpu is running really hot - 88 deg hot. Thought it might be the pump, but I checked and it's pushing about 2200 RPM under load, so definitely working. Also, I aborted the bench test when it hit 88 degrees, meaning it would almost certainly get hotter. Do you think this is normal for these boards to run so hot? I have the Thermaltake S300 case, not the greatest when it comes to airflow and ventilation, but not the worst either.
@@GeorgeTech I have paired the asrock x570 steel legend with 5900x and a aorus 3080 master .I have had no issues with the mobo bios so far with all values been set correctly.The temps on the cpu and gpu are also good...so thumbs up from me for Asrock x570😀
Currently on Intel z390 and running 9900k oc to 5ghz but I play a lot of MS flight sim and am super interested to see how these new chips handle the simulator. If the performance is jaw dropping with my 3080 then I might just do a swippity schwap.
Grabbing the 5959X soon as it's out, but have no clue which board to pick. I've been looking at the MSI Prestige X570 Creation, as I need stable content creation + storage compatibility with a 980 PRO and maybe 2 2TB 970 Pros/EVO PLUS. RAM is likely gonna be 128gb. Not touching this system again till 2026. Thoughts?
@@GeorgeTech Im IT for 18 years, time to cross over from Intel, Will probably do an open air case, Ryzen the top one and a 3080 when ever its in stock. Already have a few PSU to choose from 1300, 1600 Platinum. the only question is cooling for the CPU.
@@wilperez4973 Hopefully, Intel bounces back soon. Competition is good. NZXT Kraken Z73 360mm is one of the best. Corsair iCUE H150i Elite is a bit cheaper and very popular. You don't really need 360mm but it looks cool. Cooler Master ML240L is great for the money if you have RYZEN 5. Quick note, stock cooler is just fine. By going with AIO on AMD performance improvement is kinda small. 5-10% or so. Stock air cooler improves VRM temps. Warm air is better than no air. Hopefully, this helps.
Is there a particular reason you chose the Asus tuf x570 plus over the newer Pro version? I ask bc I cannot find any reviews on this aprrox 1 month old board which seems to be an upgrade
hey george ... i am using my 2700x on the AEW x570 with bios F21 stable ... PBO on and my max power usage on the cpu is 185w during Cinabench R20 3 consecutive runs ... i feel like you dont need to manually overclock with these boards as they give the cpu great overhead to PBO itself as much as it can ( volts will be higher and more stable ) ... that how my 2700x runs R20 at 4.0-4.1ghz while doing 4.15 - 4.26ghz in gaming sessions ... and yes ram overclocking really matter with ryzen cpus ... 3200 cl14 1.4v was the result for me
Hey bud, I agree and should have got in touch with you. Gotta reinstall WhatsApp these days (lost my old phone). PB and PBO are great. Absolutely. Other boards did overclock the CPU manually. So, I thought I would make a joke about it. Zen+ can take 3400 on some sticks I've noticed.
i've seen loads of vids about the x570 mobo's and still can't choose what to go with, aorus master, can't find an ultra where I'm at, x570 taichi, or strix 570-e which in last year's gamernexus's review it was mentioned it was overpriced for what it offered? I'm getting a 5900x this week most likely
Fellow RUclipsr here. Your stuff is Quality! Your editing is on point keep it up my friend, youll be the next *insert cool reviewer here* in time for sure!
Cheap x570 from MSI is the loser. All others are sufficient. Everything else is up to you. Looks and features that are. Asus has better vrm. It may or may not matter depending on the cpu you choose and if you plan to overclook
Hi George My name is Brian I am requesting your knowledge and recommendations on buying a x570 PC motherboard please? What’s the best brand and value? AORUS Master X570, MSI Meg Ace X570 I have purchased a Corsair 1000D PC case. I am interested in building a water cooled gaming PC. This is my first computer build. I was think about buying the AMD-Ryzen 9 3900X Matisse 3.8 GHz 12 Core AM4 Boxed Processor with Wraith Prism Cooler. What are your thoughts? Please help? Thank You, Brian
Hey Brian! Here we go. It's a long reply cuz I care. MSI Meg Ace X570 has a debug LED and Clear CMOS button on the back (useful when you overclock). It also has Bluetooth and wifi which is helpful if you have wireless controllers or headphones. Both of the boards you looking at are more of "eye candy" with tons of features that you may or may not use. In this video, I made sure to focus on VRM and power delivery first then features and design. You can save by going with ASUS GIGABYTE or ASROCK board mentioned. Yet, your selection is really awesome and you can't go wrong with one of these premium boards. In a week new generation of AMD CPUs should go on sale. So, I would wait if you looking to buy 12 core CPU. The main question is if you need 12 cores. In the very recent video on this channel, I've touched on that. In case you change your mind and decide to go with RYZEN 5. Here are my thoughts. RYZEN 5 3600 is $200 RYZEN 5 5600X is $300. The price hike for a 10-20% uplift in performance is not worth it in my opinion. So, if RYZEN 5 - buy now. If RYZEN 9 wait till next week. Your case selection is great. When it comes to water cooling - only consider it for the "looks" and in case if you decide to buy RYZEN 9. If water cooling with AIO go for NZXT or CoolerMaster. 360mm RGB unit would look cool with your case. If you want a custom loop... Well, we do have $100 loop video that you don't wanna buy. LOL Custom water loop is a pain but it looks beautiful. Especially, with hard acrylic tubing. Also, don't forget about PSU. Get Corsair or EVGA power supply. Corsair has a better RMA process in case something happens. 1000W at least. RYZEN 9 can pull 250W - 300W. RTX 3080 or RX 6800 XT upwards of 400W on the peak then settles to 300W - 350W. You want your PSU pulling 70% of its capacity from the wall. AC-DC losses are 15%. meaning, instead of 1000W as a baseline you should be looking at 850W. Considering, 70% pull is the most efficient for most of the power supplies - your system should not exceed 600W on a normal load. X570 without accessories plugged in 100W plus 200W CPU plus 300W GPU plus other stuff. That's how I got that "1000W at least" number for the PSU. Good PSU can handle even more than it's rated for but it won't live long. Basically, I want you to focus on power first. Either in form of PSU or good VRM on the motherboard and video card. Hope it wasn't too confusing. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your knowledge look forward to here back from you. 👊 Thank a lot for your feed back knowledge. Brian
@@briangraham6264 I gotchu brother. So motherboard. I think that MSI you mentioned won't disappoint. RGB software is a mess no matter what combination you choose. Corsair AX1600i is a smart power supply. It should last for a long time. I have it and l love it. Don't expose it to high humidity though. If it's crazy humid where you live consider EVGA it's more simple in design. I know, it's weird. EK could be more expensive. Go for the looks in this case. The performance difference in high-end custom loops is negligible. RYZEN 12 core CPU doesn't overclock well most of the time (silicon lottery plus the fact that is AMD). So go for the looks with the water cooling. Soft tubing cloud over time so keep that in mind. Drain the system once a year or so. Any 360mm rads are good. Make sure if rad is aluminum the block is aluminum as well. Again, touch on that in one of the recent videos. Fans needed to create air pressure so push or pull doesn't matter. Good on you waiting on the new CPU. RAM has to be at least 3600Mhz AMD infinity fabric cares about the width of the BUS more than timings. You would need to lock in settings in BIOS though. I can walk you through. RX 6800XT and RYZEN 5000 is perfect. New technology called Infinity Cache. NVMe should be PCI-e Gen4 capable. You'll get double the speeds in the system. Games don't support crazy speeds yet since PS4 has an ancient spinny disk. Games are made for consoles first then PC. This SSD is good amzn.to/2TH6dDl . Samsung 2.5 is the most popular. amzn.to/3kMLjP6 . Games are getting bigger in size. In a few years, 2TB will fit only 4 games and SATA SSDs will lag behind. If you could - get beefy main or second NVMe. amzn.to/323pCmr . Keep in mind NVMe is more expensive right now. So, maybe get 1TB Gen 4 main NVMe to run demanding future games on it. And SATA 2.5 for current gen games and indie. Did I miss anything?

thanks for video. I heard Asus X570 MB has some ' Video Card blocks chipset fan' problem... after I searched these problem I would bypass all X570 together to get chipset-fanless 550m. NO USB-BIOS flash option is also added this..
yeah, if case airflow is so bad that using liquid cooling on the cpu causes parts of the mobo to overheat, you were going to have problems anyway. get more airflow in your case. airflow is good. airflow is king. bad cases are bad. don't force your computer to live in a bad case, it's mean. don't be mean.
hey man. im new to building pcs and need some help. if i buy any of these motherboards will they support the new 5000 series chips out of the box, or will i have to do a bios update?
Back in August most of the boards received microcode update to support RYZEN 5000. AGESA 1.0.8.x. I’ll test it with older BIOS versions when the chip comes out. Official short answer - yes, you need to update first. Newegg and Amazon typically move inventory quick so there’s a chance if you buy now you’ll receive an updated board from the factory.
Check the bios version from which it supports the 5000 series on the site and then check yours ..Any board bought before the 5000 series release needs to be bios updated for 5000 series.I got a 5900x and I updated the bios on my asrock x570 steel legend and it works like a charm....only issue was that my board wouldnt post without a cpu ..so I got temporary cpu from a friend to do a Bios update..Please check the specs of your board if it can post without a cpu and get u into bios for flash.Some boards like msi do support that...
Depends when they ship the board from the factory. I might have an update already. The only reason why you need to update the bios is to have a support for 5000 to boot. Asus and gigabyte in description will update from usb without cpu
Hi mate I'm going to do brand new build don't have my old cpu I've bought a 3070 and a ryzen 5600x I'm looking at b550 boards and x570 are there any boards that will just post and then let me do a bios update afterwards??
Hey man. Unfortunately not. Very good chance 5600x will boot with any 500 series board. Power pin out on the socket is the same exact as 3000 CPU. So, the board could just boot without knowing it’s 5600x. I’m still waiting on my 5600x so I can’t test all the BIOS versions. Hope this helps.
@@GeorgeTech I just found out it only spins at a certain temp. Thanks for taking the time to help bro. Appreciate ya. Know anything about overclocking? 5900x? Im willing to pay
I’m glad it works. Can’t take your money bud. You can ask me questions if run into problems. Tons of basic ryzen overclocking videos out there. Please watch them first. In the nutshell you need to adjust multiplier enable xmp and match infinity fabric clock to the memory clock. Again you can ask me questions.
@@GeorgeTech no, i havent got the rest of the parts to build a pc yet, still choosing motherboard and gpu. i am a novice, wouldnt even know how to! they are giving me a good deal to send it back and then they post it back to me next week. i did think of selling it to linus or some channel like that but too far away...
@@PieterPatrick i have not recieved the components yet. Post to and in norway aswell as availability make it so it will arrive next weel. The cpu wont arrive before mid december since that is when my stor gets theirs
X570 has more overclocking options if you're into fine-tuning load line calibration and SOC. VRM is good on both. The rest is design and features. Personally, I always get lost in ASUS BIOS. Something to get used to.
The fan of south bridge is unacceptable. Only MSI can stop it at some pionts. It's very annoying like a labtop when you want to have a slient PC. Another accupetable thing is you can't replace with a big silent fan，they're all Centrifugal, damn it

@@GeorgeTech Im IT for 18 years, time to cross over from Intel, Will probably do an open air case, Ryzen the top one and a 3080 when ever its in stock. Already have a few PSU to choose from 1300, 1600 Platinum. the only question is cooling for the CPU.
@@wilperez4973 Hopefully, Intel bounces back soon. Competition is good. NZXT Kraken Z73 360mm is one of the best. Corsair iCUE H150i Elite is a bit cheaper and very popular. You don't really need 360mm but it looks cool. Cooler Master ML240L is great for the money if you have RYZEN 5. Quick note, stock cooler is just fine. By going with AIO on AMD performance improvement is kinda small. 5-10% or so. Stock air cooler improves VRM temps. Warm air is better than no air. Hopefully, this helps.
Entertaining and informative.... double whammy nice work
Is there a particular reason you chose the Asus tuf x570 plus over the newer Pro version? I ask bc I cannot find any reviews on this aprrox 1 month old board which seems to be an upgrade
At the time of making this video Tuf was cheaper and good enough. Pro is a beast and could be somewhat an overkill when it comes to VRM.
hey george ... i am using my 2700x on the AEW x570 with bios F21 stable ... PBO on and my max power usage on the cpu is 185w during Cinabench R20 3 consecutive runs ... i feel like you dont need to manually overclock with these boards as they give the cpu great overhead to PBO itself as much as it can ( volts will be higher and more stable ) ... that how my 2700x runs R20 at 4.0-4.1ghz while doing 4.15 - 4.26ghz in gaming sessions ... and yes ram overclocking really matter with ryzen cpus ... 3200 cl14 1.4v was the result for me
Hey bud, I agree and should have got in touch with you. Gotta reinstall WhatsApp these days (lost my old phone). PB and PBO are great. Absolutely. Other boards did overclock the CPU manually. So, I thought I would make a joke about it. Zen+ can take 3400 on some sticks I've noticed.
@@GeorgeTech let me know if you still use the same number ... Looking forward to it
Good fun video with great information 👍
GEORGE CAME FROM THE MOUNTAIN
Which one should I use for my new PC?
i've seen loads of vids about the x570 mobo's and still can't choose what to go with, aorus master, can't find an ultra where I'm at, x570 taichi, or strix 570-e which in last year's gamernexus's review it was mentioned it was overpriced for what it offered? I'm getting a 5900x this week most likely
Asus warranty is better. Taichi is cheaper typically. Both are “premium”. VRM is good enough for 5900x. Can’t go wrong.
@@GeorgeTech thanks George!
Fellow RUclipsr here. Your stuff is Quality! Your editing is on point keep it up my friend, youll be the next *insert cool reviewer here* in time for sure!
So if im right, Asrock steel legend x570 is good for 5900x even if u want to OC. Want to combine it with AMD 6900XT. Am i good to go?? Let me know
You good to go
Where is the MSI x570 Tomahawk?
Too difficult to find and overpriced at the time of making.
I... I don't understand who won... :(
Cheap x570 from MSI is the loser. All others are sufficient. Everything else is up to you. Looks and features that are. Asus has better vrm. It may or may not matter depending on the cpu you choose and if you plan to overclook
Hi George
My name is Brian
I am requesting your knowledge and recommendations on buying a x570 PC motherboard please? What’s the best brand and value?
AORUS Master X570, MSI Meg Ace X570
I have purchased a Corsair 1000D PC case. I am interested in building a water cooled gaming PC. This is my first computer build.
I was think about buying the AMD-Ryzen 9 3900X Matisse 3.8 GHz 12 Core AM4 Boxed Processor with Wraith Prism Cooler. What are your thoughts? Please help?
Thank You,
Brian
Hey Brian! Here we go. It's a long reply cuz I care.
MSI Meg Ace X570 has a debug LED and Clear CMOS button on the back (useful when you overclock). It also has Bluetooth and wifi which is helpful if you have wireless controllers or headphones. Both of the boards you looking at are more of "eye candy" with tons of features that you may or may not use. In this video, I made sure to focus on VRM and power delivery first then features and design. You can save by going with ASUS GIGABYTE or ASROCK board mentioned. Yet, your selection is really awesome and you can't go wrong with one of these premium boards. In a week new generation of AMD CPUs should go on sale. So, I would wait if you looking to buy 12 core CPU. The main question is if you need 12 cores. In the very recent video on this channel, I've touched on that. In case you change your mind and decide to go with RYZEN 5. Here are my thoughts. RYZEN 5 3600 is $200 RYZEN 5 5600X is $300. The price hike for a 10-20% uplift in performance is not worth it in my opinion. So, if RYZEN 5 - buy now. If RYZEN 9 wait till next week. Your case selection is great. When it comes to water cooling - only consider it for the "looks" and in case if you decide to buy RYZEN 9. If water cooling with AIO go for NZXT or CoolerMaster. 360mm RGB unit would look cool with your case. If you want a custom loop... Well, we do have $100 loop video that you don't wanna buy. LOL Custom water loop is a pain but it looks beautiful. Especially, with hard acrylic tubing. Also, don't forget about PSU. Get Corsair or EVGA power supply. Corsair has a better RMA process in case something happens. 1000W at least. RYZEN 9 can pull 250W - 300W. RTX 3080 or RX 6800 XT upwards of 400W on the peak then settles to 300W - 350W. You want your PSU pulling 70% of its capacity from the wall. AC-DC losses are 15%. meaning, instead of 1000W as a baseline you should be looking at 850W. Considering, 70% pull is the most efficient for most of the power supplies - your system should not exceed 600W on a normal load. X570 without accessories plugged in 100W plus 200W CPU plus 300W GPU plus other stuff. That's how I got that "1000W at least" number for the PSU. Good PSU can handle even more than it's rated for but it won't live long. Basically, I want you to focus on power first. Either in form of PSU or good VRM on the motherboard and video card.
Hope it wasn't too confusing. Let me know if you have any questions.
@@GeorgeTech Wow thank you George for your feed back.
I am stuck on motherboard over analyzing.
We definitely want purchase X570 mobo just need help with best gaming Mobo don’t wont go cheap?
Here is set up: RGB
I was think using Corsair Hydro Series with soft rubbing water cooling.
Or also looking at EK brand water cooling with soft tube as well?
Pick the parts? From Ekwb.com
Amd Ryzen 9 5900x Vermeer 3.7GHz 12-Core AM4
Mobo please help fill in?
Ram Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB (2x 16GB) DDR4-3200 PC4-25600 CL16 Dual-Channel Desktop Memory Kit need help decent ram?

Power Supply Corsair AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX Fully Modular Power Supply.
Video Card I would to purchase AMD new RX6800 XT. Over the 3080
Trying use Amd CPU and GPU together.
Next help with which best M.2 SSD?
I have this down but please recommend?
Samsung - 970 EVO 1TB SSD 3 bit MLC NAND M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe 3.0x4 Internal Solid Drive.
Next help with 2.5 SSD?
I am looking at Corsair Radiators. Would you recommend push and pull method setup in front the case. Or which type radiators would you purchase.
Thank you for your knowledge look forward to here back from you.
👊 Thank a lot for your feed back knowledge.
Brian
@@briangraham6264 I gotchu brother. So motherboard. I think that MSI you mentioned won't disappoint. RGB software is a mess no matter what combination you choose. Corsair AX1600i is a smart power supply. It should last for a long time. I have it and l love it. Don't expose it to high humidity though. If it's crazy humid where you live consider EVGA it's more simple in design. I know, it's weird. EK could be more expensive. Go for the looks in this case. The performance difference in high-end custom loops is negligible. RYZEN 12 core CPU doesn't overclock well most of the time (silicon lottery plus the fact that is AMD). So go for the looks with the water cooling. Soft tubing cloud over time so keep that in mind. Drain the system once a year or so. Any 360mm rads are good. Make sure if rad is aluminum the block is aluminum as well. Again, touch on that in one of the recent videos. Fans needed to create air pressure so push or pull doesn't matter. Good on you waiting on the new CPU. RAM has to be at least 3600Mhz AMD infinity fabric cares about the width of the BUS more than timings. You would need to lock in settings in BIOS though. I can walk you through. RX 6800XT and RYZEN 5000 is perfect. New technology called Infinity Cache. NVMe should be PCI-e Gen4 capable. You'll get double the speeds in the system. Games don't support crazy speeds yet since PS4 has an ancient spinny disk. Games are made for consoles first then PC. This SSD is good amzn.to/2TH6dDl . Samsung 2.5 is the most popular. amzn.to/3kMLjP6 . Games are getting bigger in size. In a few years, 2TB will fit only 4 games and SATA SSDs will lag behind. If you could - get beefy main or second NVMe. amzn.to/323pCmr . Keep in mind NVMe is more expensive right now. So, maybe get 1TB Gen 4 main NVMe to run demanding future games on it. And SATA 2.5 for current gen games and indie. Did I miss anything?
@@GeorgeTech Thank you so much for all your help. My wife is going to get me parts for my Birthday.
What you think about using this instead of soft tube
AIO cooler from Corsair.
iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler
For my CPU 5900X.
Could you send me your Gaming setup for your personal Rig please when have moment. Is your gaming pc water cooled?
I really appreciate your knowledge and time.
Thank you,
Brian Graham
@@briangraham6264 That's awesome! She's the best. So sweet... Happy Birthday, Brian!
iCUE ELITE is the best AIO they have. RGB for days. Should be good for 5900X.
The PC you see in the background of the videos is not really for gaming but good enough for rocket league or Among Us.
TT Core P3
Intel 8700k
TT 360mm Floe Riing
16gb 3200Mhz CL16 G.Skill TridenZ
960 EVO NVMe

Corsair AX1600i
The go-to open-bench for demanding games has all AMD.
RYZEN 5 3600 or RYZEN 9 3900X - games don't care which one. So whatever is socketed.
ASUS X570 TUF Gaming Plus
CoolerMaster 240mm ML240L V2
G.Skill 3600Mhz CL18 16GB Ripjaws V

Keep in mind I'm switching things around all the time. The memory case and PSU stay the same though. Let me know what you decide on.
Thanks for the kind words, Brian. Cheers.
different and refreshing, clicked the like button.
Thanks buddy. Subscribed to you. Good luck with your channel!
I am getting the AMD Ryzen 7 5800x and I was looking at the MSI Mag x570 tomahawk or the Asus tuf gaming x570 pro which one would you recommend I get?
Bro get the tuf...msi runs really hot with the 5000 series
thanks for video. I heard Asus X570 MB has some ' Video Card blocks chipset fan' problem... after I searched these problem I would bypass all X570 together to get chipset-fanless 550m. NO USB-BIOS flash option is also added this..
So which mainboard do you recommend? 😅
Video is old. Get Gigabyte x570 aorus pro
Whats with the X570 Tomahawk?
The price
These videos need more views.
Thank you for what you do
Thanks, buddy! Great to have you around.
Very entertaining 👍🏽
Well produced. =)
Okay, I subbed.
Does the Gigabyte X570 AORUS ULTRA have the same overclock problem?
which one is the best one ?
Asus tuf or asrock from this selection.
With the elite's heatsink design, you are not giving any airflow to it by using watercool, doesn't it disadvantage the board ??
I mean you still get airflow in a good chassis from the case fans. In a perfect world that it.
yeah, if case airflow is so bad that using liquid cooling on the cpu causes parts of the mobo to overheat, you were going to have problems anyway. get more airflow in your case. airflow is good. airflow is king. bad cases are bad. don't force your computer to live in a bad case, it's mean. don't be mean.
hey man. im new to building pcs and need some help. if i buy any of these motherboards will they support the new 5000 series chips out of the box, or will i have to do a bios update?
Back in August most of the boards received microcode update to support RYZEN 5000. AGESA 1.0.8.x. I’ll test it with older BIOS versions when the chip comes out. Official short answer - yes, you need to update first. Newegg and Amazon typically move inventory quick so there’s a chance if you buy now you’ll receive an updated board from the factory.
@@GeorgeTech damn.
how the hell is that possible if you dont have an amd processor on hand?
@@phil9916 Gigabyte Q-Flash Plus allows you to update the BIOS when your system is off :) or ASUS and MSI USB BIOS Flashback
@@GeorgeTech oh nice will have look into that. asus tuf it is then! thanks for the help
I already got an ASUS Crosshair VIII Formula.
Will that also be fine for my Ryzen 7 5800X after a bios update?
Check the bios version from which it supports the 5000 series on the site and then check yours ..Any board bought before the 5000 series release needs to be bios updated for 5000 series.I got a 5900x and I updated the bios on my asrock x570 steel legend and it works like a charm....only issue was that my board wouldnt post without a cpu ..so I got temporary cpu from a friend to do a Bios update..Please check the specs of your board if it can post without a cpu and get u into bios for flash.Some boards like msi do support that...
@@skyrock2266 ok checked that. Seems that I have to do a BIOS update using bios flashback before installing the cpu.
First Comment and like,....Amazing Video,... wow i really want amd 5000,...but i will survive with my 3700x | rtx 2060 for streaming youtube gaming!
Very good content... keep it going baby
Just curious, will any x570 motherboards work with the 5000 series out the box (bios update after boot) or will i need to update it first
Asus has flashback. Gigabyte has qflash. Both will update without cpu
@@GeorgeTech So i'd be unable to boot until i've got the update done? Or can i boot and then update the motherboard after
Depends when they ship the board from the factory. I might have an update already. The only reason why you need to update the bios is to have a support for 5000 to boot. Asus and gigabyte in description will update from usb without cpu
@@GeorgeTech thanks for the help, subscribed!
So wich one was the best?
Watch the whole thing
@@GeorgeTech I did
Asus or Asrock. Aorus Pro instead of Elite (not in the video)
Hi mate I'm going to do brand new build don't have my old cpu I've bought a 3070 and a ryzen 5600x I'm looking at b550 boards and x570 are there any boards that will just post and then let me do a bios update afterwards??
Hey man. Unfortunately not. Very good chance 5600x will boot with any 500 series board. Power pin out on the socket is the same exact as 3000 CPU. So, the board could just boot without knowing it’s 5600x. I’m still waiting on my 5600x so I can’t test all the BIOS versions. Hope this helps.
Why don't they stretch the Boards if it can short-circuit? At least they could upgrade to a medium-circuit!
LOL
What about MSI x570 tomahawk?
Too expensive and AM4 is going away next year so you won’t be able to use it to update. To each their own. If you really like the board go for it.
@@GeorgeTech Well in my country its the same price as auros elite and asus tuff
@@Rhazan91 can't go wrong with any of these boards when it comes to VRM. Focus on the features you need.
@@GeorgeTech aight, thank you for the advice.
That tiny fan by the pcie slot by the graphics card. Does it suppossed to spin?
Yes, it should spin
@@GeorgeTech damnit guess the guy at micro center didn't properly hook it up. Can you possibly help me out. Maybe i can find the plug
It most likely a faulty fan. You can try removing the cover to see the connection.
@@GeorgeTech I just found out it only spins at a certain temp. Thanks for taking the time to help bro. Appreciate ya. Know anything about overclocking? 5900x? Im willing to pay
I’m glad it works. Can’t take your money bud. You can ask me questions if run into problems. Tons of basic ryzen overclocking videos out there. Please watch them first. In the nutshell you need to adjust multiplier enable xmp and match infinity fabric clock to the memory clock. Again you can ask me questions.
Great channel 🥰
Very nice
What are your thoughts on the asus strix x570-f motherboard
It’s very very expensive for X570 board.
i got b550carbon wifi and waiting for 5900x. that should last me till 2030
i got the 5600x last week but the shop asked me to send it back as they made a mistake selling me it.
Did you at least run some tests?
@@GeorgeTech no, i havent got the rest of the parts to build a pc yet, still choosing motherboard and gpu. i am a novice, wouldnt even know how to! they are giving me a good deal to send it back and then they post it back to me next week. i did think of selling it to linus or some channel like that but too far away...
They already have the chip from AMD directly. It also may or may not sound like something is not right if you offer. Be careful.
bought a Gigabyte X570 AORUS ULTRA before i saw this video. ohh well will probably still run 5950x on it. guess i'll just not overclock
I don't think the ultra has the same issue he described with the elite... I am about to buy it. You should test it and let me know before I buy lol
I want to buy it today... did you test the overclock?
@@PieterPatrick i have not recieved the components yet. Post to and in norway aswell as availability make it so it will arrive next weel. The cpu wont arrive before mid december since that is when my stor gets theirs
I think when I go with the asus rog x570 E gaming I m good
Is this will work with 5900x without any BIOS update on x570 ?
There’s a usb flashback feature on asus and qflash on gigabyte. You won’t need cpu to update.
@@GeorgeTech ok so no need to BIOS update?
In case you do asus and gigabyte will get you covered. Most of the boards ship with the update already though.
@@GeorgeTech thank you bro

I usually don’t like videos but your accent and humour got me subscribed within 40 seconds Lol nice vid! Don’t change
Appreciate you
X570 auros pro WiFi or b550-e Asus strix
X570 has more overclocking options if you're into fine-tuning load line calibration and SOC. VRM is good on both. The rest is design and features. Personally, I always get lost in ASUS BIOS. Something to get used to.
Gigabyte all day
I've ordered the Auros Pro wifi, but I'm concerned that it has a chipset fan.
The fan of south bridge is unacceptable. Only MSI can stop it at some pionts. It's very annoying like a labtop when you want to have a slient PC. Another accupetable thing is you can't replace with a big silent fan，they're all
Centrifugal, damn it
Have you tried to RMA? Mine is silent.
@@GeorgeTech I was told only extreme has no fan and gave up. I did not try Master
What about x570 rog strix E gaming?

DDR single rank vs dual rank you reach 10% performance difference on AMD 5000 so be very careful man !! Bye
