    Want to get this motherboard for yourself? Then use our Amazon Associate link! That way you don't pay anything extra and you support the channel: amzn.to/3o4xwr7

    I think optical is being phased out a lot these days especially since you can pretty much get the same audio through hdmi

      Actually better higher resolution audio

    I bought the wifi version and a I7-12700KF for a Music / Photography build running Cubase 9.5, Amplitube V, and Dx0 Pure Raw. I will be using my external Yamaha Steinberg UR22 MKii DAC for sound via USB - so the sound support on the board will be turned off.

    had to get this because microcenter had i7-12700k's for so cheap and needed a mobo to match it with. NOT buying ddr5 right now because i'm not insane lol

    To anyone watching. Dont update your bios to the current (beta) bios. It messes with the RAM and CPU detection and disables XMP profiles if you use Corsair Ram.
    Lots of us on the MSI forum waiting on a solution :(

      Was the update recent? Would suck if I went to buy one and bios was updated already

    • @joshbell123

      This is why I never do beta updates lol

    • @PrinceVinc

      Whats the "Beta" Update? A number would be nice, since the BIOS Updates I see on the Website do NOT say Beat anywhere...

    • @marcofabro
      @marcofabro 2 года назад

      Update Feb/1/22: The most current bios fixed everything for me. XMP works and it's been smooth and stable. That "beta" bios is no longer there. Zero problems for the last 3 weeks.

    I'm looking at this board with th wife 6e built in. I happen to have an unused soundcard in a drawer to get optical. This board performs as well as the best without the price tag was going to buy 5600x but I little bit more for next gen features sounds like the way to go.

    • @avrona
      @avrona  3 года назад +2

      Really just depends on what feautures you need, as they are both great for gaming. The Gigabyte has more rear USB ports but less audio jacks, and the MSI has more audio jacks and more PCIe slots. So unless any of that really matters to you that much I'd just go for whatever you can find cheaper.

      gaming x has better vrm 16x60a insteed msi 14x55a, it also has better audio codec alc 1220 insteed msi 897 for me it also looks 2x better .This msi looks like some 120$ garbage

    • @harpoon_bakery162
      @harpoon_bakery162 3 года назад +1

      MSI all the way. They lead the way in overclocking as you know they have the best utility for overclocking GPU's and their bios is world renowned (auxiliary options) and MSI has great support compared to Gigabyte 4 hour phone support wait.

      For the CPU you only need 1 CPU power connector, but if you have two, you can plug in both.

      @MrBluePoochyena 2 года назад

      There is oretty much no point going better than this on any 12th gen CPU besides connectivity or I/O. It'll handle 12900K fine as long as VRM has airflow

      The LAN 2.5G, which has become the standard for pretty much all boards this generation.

    Is this board is really so much better in terms of DDR4 support than Aorus DDR4? I have canceled my order of Aorus to buy this board instead, was is a good move? Does it support an RGB fans?

      Both boards will both be completely fine when it comes to handlnig DDR4 memory. Also both have RGB and ARGB connectors for RGB fans.
