  • There are a lot of B550 motherboards to choose from, and the ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming is definitely one to look at-especially if you can find it heavily discounted like I did. It has loads of features many users can take advantage of.

    For the TPM
    In the BIOS, check Advanced > AMD fTPM Configuration > TPM Device Selection and make sure it's set to Firmware TPM (assuming you don't have a distinct TPM chip installed).
    In addition to first response Disk needs to be GPT format not MBR. It can be changed if necessary. Then after changing you would need to turn off CSM in bios.

    The retail version comes with a printed manual. I just bought one of these, it seems like a decent board. So far I've updated the BIOS to enable Resizeable BAR on my 3090.

    • @MiddleofKnowhere
      @MiddleofKnowhere  3 года назад +6

      don't forget to update your vbios on the gpu too for resizable bar. you have to do both.

      @dangerzone6481 Год назад +2

      @@NeonT3tra25 straight from nvidia
      With the ever-growing size of modern game assets, this results in a lot of transfers. Using Resizable BAR, assets can instead be requested as-needed and sent in full, so the CPU can efficiently access the entire frame buffer. And if multiple requests are made, transfers can occur concurrently, rather than queuing.
      Basically instead of small sections loading and "standing in line to load" resizable bar allows for all to load at once giving a possible performance boost in game I use it and see about a 2 to 10 fps increase give or take some

    Just picked one of these up at microcenter for 150. running a 5700G because I don't want to invest into an old socket. As I suspect the next cpus to be AM5. So far so good. Upgraded from an i7 920 and an MSI 760 Twin Frozr. and what an upgrade that was. So far I have had issues with the old AI Suite III software causing a boot loop.
    To fix that, I downloaded the AI Suite Uninstaller from Asus. put it on a flash drive and booted to safe mode. I was able to uninstall the software and start installing the new Asus board software without issues.
    I really appreciate the quality of this in depth video.

    • @MiddleofKnowhere
      @MiddleofKnowhere  2 года назад

      Thank you for watching and I'm glad the video was of help. I haven't mucked with AI Suite III since my VII Hero board for my 2700X. I just found it too resource consuming and buggy. The "easy" overclocking would end up creating more crashes than it was worth. In my recent Build video where I used the Strix B550-F I believe I mentioned I didn't install it due to the invasiveness of the software. I'd recommend staying away from it, but the Armoury Crate is decent enough with Aura and other features. You can't overclock or do any of the fan tuning other than some presets, but you can always create a custom fan curve within the BIOS. I did a BIOS tour video for this board as well, it might prove helpful to you.

  • @88chimes
    @88chimes 2 года назад +3

    Thank you for such a detailed review. With this board is it best to use high end headphones in the back port or front port? Is there no difference or is it also affected by my case?

    • @MiddleofKnowhere
      @MiddleofKnowhere  2 года назад +1

      Thanks for watching. My advice for your headphones is to use the rear audio ports. They tend to have cleaner sound. As you guessed it, a case's front audio can affect overall sound quality.

    • @MiddleofKnowhere
      @MiddleofKnowhere  3 года назад +6

      Hi, if you have 2 jacks, 1 for the mic, the other for the headset speakers, then green and pink (pink is mic). If you have only 1 jack, you may need a splitter OR if your case front audio has only 1 jack that combines both mic and headphones, then you can use that, but you'll probably want to go the splitter route and use the rear inputs as they can sound better.

    • @MiddleofKnowhere
      @MiddleofKnowhere  3 года назад +2

      I hear ya there. Deciding on a motherboard can be pretty tough. It's all about knowing what you need from it, what it can support in terms of drives, I/O, etc., and then Power Delivery and its cooling can be very important too if you're going to put in a demanding CPU. Have fun with your new PC build!

(BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UMC1820, Black, 8-Channel). Lastly, the heat sink section sort of blew by me. I do not plan on using this for gaming or adding a video card, I am running a M.2 SSD crucial and 2 crucial 2TB SATA SSD's with a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core, 16-Thread, what cooling will I need to purchase aside from a CPU cooler? Thank you for your support

    • @MiddleofKnowhere
      @MiddleofKnowhere  2 года назад +1

      You're good on cooling, prob will need more fans. Since you don't intend to overclock, the stock CPu cooler for 5800x should be okay but maybe consider a better air-cooler, maybe a noctua chromax one. For your audio interface, wow that thing looks beefy. Looks like you just plug it into the PC via USB 2.0 . . . that's cool.

      First, thanks for wathing! As for your question, I really like the AsRock B650 LiveMixer motherboard. It's currently around $150. It has a fun design and a load of features. At the $189 price point There's an ASUS TUF, Gigabyte Aorus AORUS ELITE AX V2, and another ASROCK board that are probably worth looking into. It all depends on the features you need but I think the LiveMixer (also did a review on it) is worth looking into if you don't mind the loud color design.

      @MiddleofKnowhere  9 месяцев назад +1

      Check these options I've linked. amzn.to/3RU0DwL
      One definite option is to add a PCIe card with an internal Type-C connector on it. You can then connect your case type-c cable to it. It also has the added bonus of additional rear ports (usually). This one for example has additional rear ports and 2 front internal type-c ports so you can connect your case and get more in the back. amzn.to/3RU0DwL

I'm so far out of the loop on technology I've been reading non stop for a week now trying to get ready for this sale and I missed the Amazon 5600 deal and also a few others. I did catch the msi mech Radeon 6650 xt oc deal at Newegg for 250 though. Now I'm 1 piece of the puzzle closer. Do you have a new build on pc part picker to save me here from this insanity of looking every model date up? Everything I buy has to be best price per performance without sacrificing performance while future proofing as good as I can. I've seen some decent builds but nothing that made me want to invest in them. You seem like a very knowledgeable person who looks for price per performance as well.

    • @MiddleofKnowhere

      I've Used the MSI B550-A Pro before and it has loads of features, like Front and rear USB Type-C that the B550-F doesn't (only rear). Both are slick boards though, so really comes down to what all you need. If you need a front type-c port for a case that has it, then the Pro all the way. I think they both perform comparatively when it comes to Power Delivery and RAM compatibility.

    I just ordered this mobo an hour ago but the wifi variant to replace my messed up 2nd hand MSI MEG B550 Unify-X, which has been randomly getting black screens with a 00 debug code and I have no idea what's causing it. I really like this MSI mobo though, it has a power button, reset button and clear cmos button on the mobo along with a debug code LED display and 4 m.2 slots, two of which are pcie 4.0 plus it has 6 USB 3.2 slots on the back, but then again MSRP for this mobo was $300. You are absolutely correct that mobos in this price range even though less expensive then my current mobo, should include the power and clear cmos buttons on the mobo, they should also include the debug code LED display instead of just the stupid debug LEDs that tell you nothing.

    Great video and amazing levels of detail. Thanks for that.
    I have been using this motherboard for a few years now and have recently decided to upgrade my storage of 500gb SSD by adding a 4tb M2 4.0.
    Unfortunately I can't get it to work. Once the M2 is installed it only recognizes that and ignores the old SSD where I have my OS installed.
    I did read on the manual that if the M2_2 slot is populated the SATA 5 and 6 are disabled but that is not my case as I have it on the 1 slot and using SATA 1 and 2 for my old SSD and a HDD.
    Any ideas?

    • @MiddleofKnowhere
      @MiddleofKnowhere  8 месяцев назад

      Make sure the boot order for your drives is still the same. If you didn't reshuffle anything, like move the OS m.2 to the lower one and put the new m.2 into the upper slot, then it shouldn't be an issue. In the bios though you can set boot priority, so maybe something happened there?

    Very nice and informative presentation. But, I've been fighting this situation for the past 2 days...Very poor graphics from the Ryzen 7 5700G (New) installed on an Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming (WiFi) board. This board is also new, and the latest BIOS and AMD chip Drivers have been installed. The end result is a very low refresh rate of only 1.000Hz to my monitor. I then installed my old graphics card and the refresh rate measured on WIN10 where I had set it previously (119Hz) and all of the action was normal. I do not know if there is a problem with the Motherboard or the APU. Has anyone heard if there been any issues with the "GPU" part of it??

    • @MiddleofKnowhere
      @MiddleofKnowhere  3 года назад

      The answer all depends on what your are doing. Are you needing both m.2 slots to be pcie 4.0? Do you need any of the added functionality an x570 board will give you? Do you need front usb type-c, etc etc. The board will work great with that cpu/gpu combo but if you need other features it lacks, keep shopping around.

    Intel i225-v nic has known issues on earlier versions. The B550-F uses it and there are reports of poor Ethernet speed. I have seen “things to try” but the only fix is using the 3rd revision of the nic. To sure how to verify the revision by looking at the box before you buy.

      The board doesn’t have onboard graphics but any Ryzen cpu with G at the end like 3200G or 5600G has an integrated GPU (not very powerful) and if you use one of those CPUs, you can use the video ports on the motherboard.

    • @MiddleofKnowhere
      @MiddleofKnowhere  3 года назад +1

      Great question. After looking at the Gigabyte, it does have front type-c connectivity if your case has that port. Almost everything else is very similar to the ASUS. After that it just is a matter of which brand have you used before, and like? Also the ASUS has 4+8 pin CPU power delivery whereas Gigabyte only has 8-pin, so if you are getting a 5900X or higher CPU, I'd go with that board. Possibly even for the 5800X. Especially if you intend to overclock or do intensive activities besides gaming where you'll need the extra power.
      Hope this helps!

      The Be Quiet! case has a USB 3 type a port and a USB 3 type-C port, so you'll need each of those on the motherboard. If memory serves, this motherboard doesn't have an internal type-c header, so you won't use that. OR you can get a PCI adapter to make use of it if you absolutely need it.
