The hero of pc builders for creatives! Doing all my research for a new PC build and this channel is literally all one would need. Thanks for all you do! Would really love a full on PC build video of this motherboard...I've settled on this motherboard to start with!
Having a mass amount of I/O and 10Gb + 2.5Gb Ethernet makes the $500 a little easier to swallow. But at that price, def should be including a USB with the drivers rather than a waste of polycarbonate. If I decide to go with Zen4+ or 3D V-Cache, this could be the board I go with. Couldn't care less about OC anyways. AMD is already pushing these CPU's to the hilt out of the box. I'd just enable the 105 watt eco mode TBH.
That or set a lower temp target. One guy set his to 85c and actually saw a TINY perf increase, though that could be just silicon lottery on his 7950. Either way if you don't happen to get a cpu near the bottom of the silicon lottery you shouldn't see any noteworthy loss to perf (0-3% is what I've mostly been seeing on reviews of the 105 eco mode).
@@kaseyboles30 Ah... good point. I'd be curious to see how 10 degree drops down to 65 degrees would compare to the 110 eco mode. If I could limit it to 75 watts, with a lower hit to perf, that would be a much better solution.
@@TheGameBench It's really looking like the efficiency curve is great until a certain point then it goes out the window and the last 5% of perf takes way, way more than the previous 5%.
@@TheGameBench Understandable. Unless your using it to make money and that tiny percent adds up to a bigger income. At that point tweaking for max performance makes sense and could even yield a cooler running chip if you do well enough in the silicon lottery.
Simply another beautiful ProArt creator series mobo. Have the X570 w/5950x. Just received the Z690 version a few days ago & have a 12900K waiting to be mounted. So my friend, thanks to your candid review, I've just dropped the X670E in a select cart w/trigger finger hovering ... *sigh*
I debated going that same route with the 12900k and Z690 board. I think the timing of the purchase worked out well that the X670 is almost out and went with that. The future proof-ish addition of the PCI-E 5.0 m.2 slots and 2.5+10GbE ports won me over to the X670 side. I really love what AMD has been doing the last few years, and the fact that it is reasonable to believe that they will stick with the AM5 design for 4-5 years makes the board just a bit more valuable in my mind as an upgrade in 3 years only requires an new CPU, and maybe some ram depending on how far forward that leaps.
Out of all the motherboards, the x570 board proart board I bought. It is such a good board compared the gaming board I was using before, I haven't ran into any software lockups (anomalies) or weird usb issues like I did on the gaming board, micro stutters in 3d art apps, etc. You pay for the build quality, longevity and stability checks that Asus sends these boards through. Genuinely good product and glad it doesn't have gamer RGB rainbow effects all over it.
I love how you focus on what's best for creators with whichever processor is on top on stock settings, while it's on top, regardless of brand. 5950X was on top for a year, then 12900K was on top for 10 month, now the pendulum has swung back to AMD. 7950X is an incredible processor! I don't think the upcoming 13th gen has what it takes - 8 extra e cores is nice and all, but they aren't full performance cores. plus it's still 10 nm.
Well the benchmarks are out today. As leaked, multicore and performance benchmarks check out. Performance for price is not bad at all... the question is whether one wants to jump into a generational dead end (14th gen will be new socket) and pay premium for it - I mean if you don't care about upgrading why not AM4? Would be cheaper and still provide ample performance and blow this out of the water. Admittedly AM4 motherboards are all kinda bad on I/O, whereas new Z chipset motherboards have superb I/O and sport Thunderbolt 4 ports (you might not care about port specifically but that's A LOT of bandwidth on separate controller to connect tons of USB peripherals...)
It looks great but I wish it had both a q-code and a cmos reset switch on the IO. These two useful features would barely have cost Asus anything to include.
Just a side note. IMHO that front panel pin adapter is dongle all motherboards should come with. As I get older dealing with front panel connectors has gone from a minor annoyance to a real pain in the backside.
Great mobo and a nice video. These boards are roughly 30% overpriced, compared to the Intel 1700 mobos. (situation 9th oct 2022) (Price in The Netherlands: Z690 (1700 socket) €412 X670E (AM5 socket) €530 = 28% markup(all excl. VAT) The hole in the ruler is to hang it on the wall above the workbench (from a little hook or nail).
As mentioned in the video, there's a 10g Ethernet port built-in, which, if you need it, saves money. Not to mention, that if you buy a separate 10g Ethernet card, you'll use up one of your PCIe slots. For me, I'm using one PCIe slot for my GPU, and another for a Black Magic DeckLink Mini Monitor 4K. I really don't want to use up the last PCIe slot just for a 10g Ethernet card. Having 10g Ethernet and Thunderbolt 4 on the motherboard are two must-haves for me. I'd gladly spent $500 for that motherboard, if only they made one with a Z790 chipset.
I think most will just put in Nvme 4.0's . They are super cheap now and fast enough as it is for most uses . I have the Proart X570 board and run 2 - Nvme 4.0's in raid 0 . Crazy fast !!!
The price is about right for ProArt creator boards. The high $400's has been the going price for this series of boards for a few years now. They don't make the last gen X570 board anymore and if you can find it most places want $600 plus for it. I just wonder are they going to make a ProArt creator board for the lower chipset like they have done it the past?
@@jordanbabcock9349 Not sure which board you mean, but yeah the prices has come down for the X570, but for a while because of supply and demand the price was as high as $600 for a while. I went ahead and got the ASUS ProArt Z690-Creator WiFi 6E LGA 1700 for $450 and now it is $399.
These new X670 boards use the Intel JHL8540 chip (which is a Thunderbolt controller) yet the ports are technically not TB4. There aren't many TB4 devices out (compared to the USB4-compatible TB3), but I still find it odd that these aren't "TB4 guaranteed" - do you think it's Intel politics, or just about time/money? The last X570 ProArt had TB4 certification.
Yeah there effectively 2 things that make USB4 and TB4 different. Min spec feature set, and Intel certification. The former mostly comes down to PCIe tunneling for most people, while the latter is an additional check by Intel to use the Thunderbolt branding. That's both politics and money/time added to the process. This board is TB4 without being able to call it as such. The actual drivers in the OS even still refer to it as a TB controller. On AM4 only Asrock made the move to get 1 ITX-X570 board TB3 certified, while they had a 2nd ATX X570 that included TB3. It isn't called that on the box while it is on the product page. Referred to as Hyper USB-C on the box. I think very much that motherboard makers needed a way to offer the feature on AMD in a way they could market it, without having to pay Intel to call it Thunderbolt. So now we have an official USB4 spec that can be (but not always), equivalent to TB4 without the Tax. Gigabyte and Asus wouldn't release "TB" boards until the AM4 socket was effectively EOL. The X670 Proart was cheaper and more available than the X570 version.
Great video! Beautiful motherboard. However, I wish Asus included a thermal baseplate too. One other cool feature of this motherboard is that it supports ECC DDR5 memory.
Thanks for doing this. Always thoughtful and informative. I’m a ‘content creator’ but with quite different needs from those usually covered in this and similar reviews. I use large orchestral libraries to write music. These are best saved on fast NVMe drives and partially loaded into memory for real-time use. There are lots of ways of optimising a computer to get the best from limited resources, but ultimately, a fast multicore CPU, solid state drives and at least 64GB of RAM (128GB+ is better for large orchestral templates) are optimal. A powerful GPU is of limited use in this type of work. * The other essential attribute is silence - or as near to it as you can get. The last thing you want when trying to record or mix music in a studio is a computer doing impersonations of a household vacuum cleaner. Moving the computer away from the studio/control room to a quiet cupboard isn’t often a viable option and that’s why, after decades of using PCs, I am considering paying a ridiculous amount of money for a Mac Studio. I like PC’s and I like using Windows too, because I know what to do when things don’t work properly. However, builds like the one featured here make increasingly less sense to me. Here’s why: It doesn’t matter which CPU you choose, INTEL or AMD; to achieve the performance they offer you must supply them with masses of power and then spend good money trying to cool them down. It is the same with GPUs. Year on year the situation gets worse: more power and more cooling. It is nuts and, unless I have missed something, the only company that seems to be trying to buck this trend is Apple. An elegant solution to a problem is an efficient one and I don’t think that word can be applied to any of the more recent creator builds I see on line. Wish me luck with the Mac Studio. The only Apple product I have is a phone and I have figured that out so there is hope. 😉 *Worth noting that a company (GPU.Audio) are working on applications which redeploy GPU processing cores for audio processing. This is huge for people doing what I do.
Not true...nothing wrong with the gpus. For example a 4090 is 2x3090ti and runs just as cool if not more. Offcourse it's going to draw power to run like that. Cpus are also very powerful from previous generations. Plus you have eco modes which barely decrease any performance! This whole power cooling things is just BS..it will not make much difference in your bills by 4-5$
Best for email, notepad, web surfing and watching streaming services!😊 The AMG 7050X is powerful enough for doing theses tasks with 64GB 5600/6600 DDR5.
:)))) The screws are not "stuck" to the heatsing, they are what we called "captive screws"... :D Nice feature there, I agree... I was just smiling on how you called them.
I just ordered this motherboard last week. It should arrive tomorrow and I've paired it with the Rysen 9 7900X CPU. Also ordered 32 gig Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6400MHz RAM. GPU is a GeForce RTX 4060Ti. Can't wait to put this together and see how it performs. In case anyone is wondering, I don't play games. Rendering will be the toughest job this new workstation will have to contend with. This just might be a bit of overkill. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@spl4t1with this crappy gen1 am5 Motherboard and cpu, i doubt. Amd indicates 5200 no ? Personally i wait to see 770 chipset and ryzen 8000 that amd said will support 6400 and even 7000, we will see. If not i will pass on am5 wait am6 and see what Intel arrow lake is proposing. This board has no post code and no cmos reset button, something i have on my nearly 7 years old crosshair 6 hero zen 1 am4 motherboard. And my 1800x runs cool at stock without any changes. Not a pan frye like this 7000 cpus.
This is my dream motherboard for Ryzen 7950x as it has everything I need and want in one MB and then some. It is just above budget I planned for a MB (around 350 max). Wonder if they will be on BlackFriday sales (I doubt)
Imagine running this with hypervisor managed through internal GPU, using 2 VMs with dedicated NIC and GPU, and still have plenty of storage lanes to go with.
What's ur opinion on this vs the Asus Strix Gaming x670e-e? I'm building a new workhorse pc that is literally all purpose from 4k editing to high end VR gameplay and recording, streaming etc. I'm really torn between the 2. I don't need the 10gb lan but the usb 4 seems nice to have, the 16+2 power phase concerns me but I only plan on using the automatic overclocking features of the 7950x would this be enough? Full build should be 4090, 1300w psu, 32gb 6000 ddr5 and a 7950x. Only reason I passed on the asrock x670e tachi was the lack of the lower pcie lane or else I would have jumped on that. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Actually = the board itself can support upto 192gb since there are 48gb ddr5 modules now. I have a 192gb kit on my ProArt X670-E Creator Wifi at the moment. It was only listed 128gb ram is that there wasn't the 48gb per module chip when this board came out.
The only thing missing is SPDIF out and a POST diag LED display. Just bought this board. I have an external SPDIF to USB-C adapter what I can connect so that is solved. :)
Totally kool dude - Awesome - show a build complete a to b - keep it under 3000 if you can - I know you have the build on other sets but can you just focus on this from a to b?
I really like the new platform, it is so much faster than what I used to have. Some stability issues though. I can't reliably speed up the RAM and chrome has crashed the system a few times. Still, everything else is awesome. Getting through some of the Bios nonsense. I think my issue is the RAM.
When I bought my ProArt X570 I completely overlooked the audio outs -- no TOSLINK optical out. I thought I could live with only three PCIe slots, but now that my graphics card and MOTU PCIe-424 are installed leaving me with only one free slot, I'm missing the x1 and x4 slots. For my optical audio, I ended up purchasing an HDMI audio extractor which works.
PLEASE DO A VIDEO FOR BEST CREATOR Z790 BOARD. The z690 board from your other videos are already more expensive than the z790 boards and usually out of stock. I need to decide on a board for the i7 13700k soon.
Good video but Don’t forget to mention using a very good power supply you need a 1000 to 1200 watt Gold or Platinum power supply with a large battery UPS with proper power conditioning… The new mother boards are becoming more power sensitive these days… This builds probably cost 3k including graphics card so protect it!!!!
One can get a B650M Riptide (cheapest B650 board, but sufficient to power a 7950X, even overclocked, without any issues) + a 7700X for that price. Damn!
Hmm... I had lots of bad luck with this mainboard. I built 2 identical PC's with this mainboard and got no image, just a white LED. I bought an older CPU thinking it was maybe the new x79503d that wasn't supported but still no image. Tried flashing with USB flash, no luck. Tried a different GPU, different PSU, different RAM, tried onboard graphics too, cleared CMOS, but no luck. Remember, this goes for both PC's, both had the same problem with no image. Maybe these boards are very picky with RAM. I swapped for a MSI MEG ACE and problems went away.
Beautiful But sad because i need SDIF/Optical Audio for my sound bar and woofer. maybe i have to buy a SDIF PCIE card or hope they come out with another ProArt with it SDIF onboard.
Odd that it doesn't come with a USB thumb drive. My ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme has a USB drive and no CD. I don't know if that's true for all ROG boards, but I'm surprised they are not also doing it for ProArt, since that's pretty much as premium as the top ROG boards.
Well none of that matters when you can download latest drives from ASUS website as you should always do anyway. I personally favor ProArt board cause I think it is overall better apart from overclocking or RGBs. On my opinion, none of those really matter. Having 10GB ethernet in its price class is big bonus too. I just don't see point in overclocking anymore cause all these chips have been mostly pushed to their limits by AMD or Intel anyway.
Was always curious as to if there is any difference in gaming performance. I am not a fan of the appearance of the gaming boards, This board looks awesome. I only wish it had all the audio outs for 5x1 or 7x1 setup.
No. You’d be good. The boards that are creators are going to have pretty much all the things you’d need. Keeping in mind that most people don’t OC the piss out of their CPU and stuff. The only thing I think this board is lacking that I physically wish it didn’t was the reset CMOS button. Instead they put a couple of use functions on the board that as a gamer I’d never touch. However… whether it be this AM5 board or the z690/790 variant you’ll be set.
huge huge issue with RAM and DOCP settings. Not achieving what is even stated on QVL list. Perhaps it was worth putting it through its paces before reviewing.
Not gonna lie. It does look like how one would expect a flagship board to. Clean , no frills, no gamer-gear aesthetics. While outfitted with more IO than you can wave a stick at for every kind of purpose. You wouldn't even need a USB-PD/QC4 brick and can attach a USB-C display device (e.g. a portable display to use as a second monitor). The lack of some things like Q-Code or a back cmos reset switch is unfortunate, but then again. If you needed those, then this is the wrong motherboard anyway. Reliability is the goal, not overclocking performance.
I ordered this mobo not realizing it already had heat sinks for the m.2s. Bought the firecuda 530 with a heat sink on it. Will it still fit with firecudas pre installed heat sink too? Or should I return and get without heat sink?
Well, if you can return them I'd get them without heatsink, you'll save a bit of cash, coz heatsink variant SSDs are a usually abit more expensive. And the heatsinks on this mobo are good enough. :)
I was really on the fence for you video, curious to see if you’d make me regret buying an Asus x670e TUF - outside of the extra usb-c port, 10Gb lan (and slightly better audio codec) I don’t think there’s any real difference
Do you perhaps have ability to try out and test whether USB4 ports on this motherboard support PCIe tunneling? The Intel controller used has such capability, question is whether there are required connections on the motherboard to support this feature. I really need desktop supporting eGPU...
I would assume it is the lack of Q-Code and a Clear CMOS button. You would have to diagnose somewhat blindly and go old-fashioned with a jumper on a header to reset the Bios after a failed overclock. The board (though capable) is just not intended for such things. It was designed to be a reliable workhorse to run 24/7 if needed.
@@erenatas Correct. But most overclockers are spoiled by having OC specific features integrated like a simple button to wipe it and Q-Code indicators. If a board doesn't have that. It won't be seen as that good a choice for those who specifically want to engage in overclocking. Which is simply not the design ethos behind the ProArt series anyway. Reliability is.
Yeah I'm not seeing any features that this board brings to the table that have anything to do with artists. You'd get the same features (and maybe more) from just a regular board or a gaming-focused motherboard. The things that have influence on artists are the OS, the software they use and the hardware peripherals they use - none of which have anything to do with the motherboard ... other than _perhaps_ it having even more USB connectivity than usual so artists can plug in all kinds of devices, but again most things you can buy a regular/gaming motherboard can cope with fine. Just seems like this entire "ProArt" thing is nothing more than a gimmick and not worth the extra cost.
There are three main distinguishing features: 1. 10Gbps ethernet. All the ~$300 X670 motherboards have 2.5 Gbps. Adding a 10Gbps PCIE card would cost ~$100, as the video mentions. 2. Displayport passthrough to USB-C. This is a killer feature for anyone who has a USB-C only monitor, like an LG Ultrafine 5k. Other motherboards only support this with an add-in card that costs $100+. 3. Two PCIE Gen 5 m.2 slots. Other X670 motherboards only have one. This isn't an issue right now, since there are no PCIE Gen 5 SSDs out yet, but if you're planning to use more than one of them, you would need a board to support that. So yeah, I think this board makes sense if you actually need 2/3 of those three things.
@@Mirrormn But again, other than perhaps point 2 with the monitor support _none_ of these benefits have _anything_ specifically to do with _artists_ - and _that's_ who they're aiming at with this motherboard. They know artistic stuff tends to garner a higher price, so they're trying to fleece artists with crappy claims that this motherboard, above others, can help the artist in some unique way. That's just outright false. It feels dishonest and a bit too much like a scam for my liking. Besides, if you're an artist buying very expensive monitors or other peripherals, then you're probably going to just buy a more expensive, feature-rich motherboard any way along with other things like the more top-tier GPUs and CPUs. So again, pointless marketing by this company.
@@DavidStruveDesigns Sure, I guess I would say this motherboard is more oriented towards "content creation" and video editing than drawing/digital art. The 10Gbps ethernet and PCIE Gen 5 slots would both be good for high-bandwidth video editing, storing footage, that kind of thing.
from site specs say: Realtek S1220A 7.1 Surround Sound but where are the jacks to connect that ? I see on the video only a stereo jack. Very negative point for this motherboard.... definitely I avoid it for this reason...
@@theTechNotice i see hopefully you get it before the 12th. I would really like to see Intel performance on creative work. And how Premiere and Davinci take advantage of the 16GB Arc 770.
@@mariozamora9684 Yes, I'll second that. I'm especially keen to see Davinci Resolve benchmarks / reviews on the 16GB Arc A770. I doubt I'll buy one, but still I'd like to have the full info before making my buying decision for which GPU to get.
I'm returning my B650 aero g for this after the aero g was not stable with any xmp profile on two sets of approved DDR5-6000 RAM (2 sticks in slots 2 and 4) and could not boot with any PBO including curve optimizer. Could be an immature BIOS (which I updated this week) or could be just a bad board. My feeling is that it's the BIOS as Ryzen Master can run a -30 curve on all cores no problem... just can't get windows to boot without crashing with those setting in BIOS. Also, it does not have PCIe 5.0. Crossing fingers that this x670 Creator is better.
So you still keep x16 at the first graphics card slot when using the two M.3 5th gen, correct? I'd hate to learn that the 4090 would be degraded somehow when the second GPU slot is not used. I have been trying to make the right choice for one PC that has to work for a home Digital Audio Workstation and a gaming PC. My 4790K and Nvidia 970 are a bit old in the tooth and my intel I7 xenon 975 is way old for modern audio work. I get one shot at this.
Wouldn't you agree the Intel version should have the W680 chipset that you can't buy anywhere? Does the X670v support team DDR5 ECC? The X570 was pretty crappy vs the Z690 one. But I decided for the hero in the end. Way more serious bord and accessories like the m.2 expansion and the demanded USB stick;) I got the Asus 10G for 70 Euros in addition. The new z790 boards don't have anything worth upgrading that I saw.
19:58 "Freeze Frame" says that the price is a "Deal?" also, has a message about "Yom and Siccos" (also seems only relevant to you?!" (is this a price based on only YOU?") Then, its a Pre-Order. (AND...i mentioned it, BUT, its VERY important to viewers!! (Look top, this has 8HRS at time of filming, to get this "DEAL!" SO, its IRRELIVANMT PRICING!!! (its these tiny things, that have me looking elsewhere for "Creator Content Making Videos."
This platform could REALLY benefit with more PCI-E lanes... this is basically old Intel HEDT class of hardware, except motherboards are rather unimpressive. I mean... Compare this to X99-E WS 😭 I honestly don't think in case of AM5 big board like this even makes sense, not enough bandwidth to go around. ITX and mATX offerings however are leaps and bounds ahead the dumpster fire that AM4 platform was with rich I/O. Such a shame that with opportunity to introduce new socket they didn't capitalise on it and increased amount of available lanes... just not enough to account for all these connections (pretty much all big motherboards disable some porta while others are active...)
what about the gaming boards? anything good for pro connectivity/thunderbolt? I would love for ASUS to put the 2-digit boot display in these boards, making troubleshooting easier is a must for pro-work!
Even a USB is basically just plastic waste. Chances are, you'll need new drivers from ASUS site directly and Windows today will install the OS REGARDLESS of drivers or not (gone are the days when you NEED specific drivers to proceed a windows installation) and who da hell needs a 1GB USB stick? Just a QR code or link on the box itself is enough. ASUS, get on with it.
@@theTechNotice I'm just the opposite. I'd like to see a bigger motherboard. There really isn't any way to cram all the features into a smaller form factor, is there? If anything, there should be more PCIe slots. And for some people that want to put two RTX4090 cards into their system, absolutely forget it with a smaller form factor. Of course I get it that some people like smaller systems. For me, though, that's what laptops are for, or NUC kind of ultra mini PCs. For my typical use, the PC is under my desk, and a full tower case fits nicely, giving plenty of room for a beefy motherboard with all the features I could ever need, plus enough expansion ability.

My only gripe with the pro art is a lack of a led post code a $500 motherboard should have a post code.
Yes! I felt the same
After I moved to DDR5 and started overclocking ram, I 1000000% agree. Good luck trying to figure out what is what with no post codes
I want the CLR CMOS button...
I think its better to get a b650e taichi or strix b650e-e and a 10g card instead.
There is a PC debug plugin 😅
Simply another beautiful ProArt creator series mobo. Have the X570 w/5950x. Just received the Z690 version a few days ago & have a 12900K waiting to be mounted. So my friend, thanks to your candid review, I've just dropped the X670E in a select cart w/trigger finger hovering ... *sigh*
Haha
I debated going that same route with the 12900k and Z690 board. I think the timing of the purchase worked out well that the X670 is almost out and went with that. The future proof-ish addition of the PCI-E 5.0 m.2 slots and 2.5+10GbE ports won me over to the X670 side. I really love what AMD has been doing the last few years, and the fact that it is reasonable to believe that they will stick with the AM5 design for 4-5 years makes the board just a bit more valuable in my mind as an upgrade in 3 years only requires an new CPU, and maybe some ram depending on how far forward that leaps.

Out of all the motherboards, the x570 board proart board I bought. It is such a good board compared the gaming board I was using before, I haven't ran into any software lockups (anomalies) or weird usb issues like I did on the gaming board, micro stutters in 3d art apps, etc.

@@arandomcommenter412 nothing wrong with it some people just prefer it. I get really distracted by it.

working without issues?
After a year im done with mine aswell.
I love how you focus on what's best for creators with whichever processor is on top on stock settings, while it's on top, regardless of brand. 5950X was on top for a year, then 12900K was on top for 10 month, now the pendulum has swung back to AMD. 7950X is an incredible processor! I don't think the upcoming 13th gen has what it takes - 8 extra e cores is nice and all, but they aren't full performance cores. plus it's still 10 nm.
just wait for the review ;)
Well the benchmarks are out today. As leaked, multicore and performance benchmarks check out. Performance for price is not bad at all... the question is whether one wants to jump into a generational dead end (14th gen will be new socket) and pay premium for it - I mean if you don't care about upgrading why not AM4? Would be cheaper and still provide ample performance and blow this out of the water. Admittedly AM4 motherboards are all kinda bad on I/O, whereas new Z chipset motherboards have superb I/O and sport Thunderbolt 4 ports (you might not care about port specifically but that's A LOT of bandwidth on separate controller to connect tons of USB peripherals...)
Right findings
It looks great but I wish it had both a q-code and a cmos reset switch on the IO. These two useful features would barely have cost Asus anything to include.
The little ruler is so nice!
Just a side note. IMHO that front panel pin adapter is dongle all motherboards should come with. As I get older dealing with front panel connectors has gone from a minor annoyance to a real pain in the backside.
100% agreed!
Great mobo and a nice video.
These boards are roughly 30% overpriced, compared to the Intel 1700 mobos. (situation 9th oct 2022)
(Price in The Netherlands: Z690 (1700 socket) €412 X670E (AM5 socket) €530 = 28% markup(all excl. VAT)
The hole in the ruler is to hang it on the wall above the workbench (from a little hook or nail).
As mentioned in the video, there's a 10g Ethernet port built-in, which, if you need it, saves money. Not to mention, that if you buy a separate 10g Ethernet card, you'll use up one of your PCIe slots. For me, I'm using one PCIe slot for my GPU, and another for a Black Magic DeckLink Mini Monitor 4K. I really don't want to use up the last PCIe slot just for a 10g Ethernet card. Having 10g Ethernet and Thunderbolt 4 on the motherboard are two must-haves for me. I'd gladly spent $500 for that motherboard, if only they made one with a Z790 chipset.
Yeah, I've got to point out Pcie gen5 is more expensive and not featured on the z690 ProArt
I think most will just put in Nvme 4.0's . They are super cheap now and fast enough as it is for most uses . I have the Proart X570 board and run 2 - Nvme 4.0's in raid 0 . Crazy fast !!!
Asus ProArt motherboard and ProArt monitor are ideal for creators professional of all level! Love them
Such a sweet MB!
I love the attention to details Asus has and that cool mini Frisbee they included is an extra bonus!!!
The price is about right for ProArt creator boards. The high $400's has been the going price for this series of boards for a few years now. They don't make the last gen X570 board anymore and if you can find it most places want $600 plus for it.
I just wonder are they going to make a ProArt creator board for the lower chipset like they have done it the past?
I'm just happy that all of these premium boards come with USB4 as standard. AM4 was really poor on I/O side of things...
If you're in the US they're in the $400s on Amazon.
@@jordanbabcock9349 Not sure which board you mean, but yeah the prices has come down for the X570, but for a while because of supply and demand the price was as high as $600 for a while. I went ahead and got the ASUS ProArt Z690-Creator WiFi 6E LGA 1700 for $450 and now it is $399.
These new X670 boards use the Intel JHL8540 chip (which is a Thunderbolt controller) yet the ports are technically not TB4. There aren't many TB4 devices out (compared to the USB4-compatible TB3), but I still find it odd that these aren't "TB4 guaranteed" - do you think it's Intel politics, or just about time/money? The last X570 ProArt had TB4 certification.
Yeah there effectively 2 things that make USB4 and TB4 different. Min spec feature set, and Intel certification. The former mostly comes down to PCIe tunneling for most people, while the latter is an additional check by Intel to use the Thunderbolt branding. That's both politics and money/time added to the process. This board is TB4 without being able to call it as such. The actual drivers in the OS even still refer to it as a TB controller.
On AM4 only Asrock made the move to get 1 ITX-X570 board TB3 certified, while they had a 2nd ATX X570 that included TB3. It isn't called that on the box while it is on the product page. Referred to as Hyper USB-C on the box. I think very much that motherboard makers needed a way to offer the feature on AMD in a way they could market it, without having to pay Intel to call it Thunderbolt. So now we have an official USB4 spec that can be (but not always), equivalent to TB4 without the Tax. Gigabyte and Asus wouldn't release "TB" boards until the AM4 socket was effectively EOL. The X670 Proart was cheaper and more available than the X570 version.
This was amazing. Now I really know what I'm getting into. Thanks
Great video!
Beautiful motherboard.
However, I wish Asus included a thermal baseplate too.
One other cool feature of this motherboard is that it supports ECC DDR5 memory.
Thanks for doing this. Always thoughtful and informative.
I’m a ‘content creator’ but with quite different needs from those usually covered in this and similar reviews. I use large orchestral libraries to write music. These are best saved on fast NVMe drives and partially loaded into memory for real-time use. There are lots of ways of optimising a computer to get the best from limited resources, but ultimately, a fast multicore CPU, solid state drives and at least 64GB of RAM (128GB+ is better for large orchestral templates) are optimal. A powerful GPU is of limited use in this type of work. *
The other essential attribute is silence - or as near to it as you can get. The last thing you want when trying to record or mix music in a studio is a computer doing impersonations of a household vacuum cleaner. Moving the computer away from the studio/control room to a quiet cupboard isn’t often a viable option and that’s why, after decades of using PCs, I am considering paying a ridiculous amount of money for a Mac Studio. I like PC’s and I like using Windows too, because I know what to do when things don’t work properly. However, builds like the one featured here make increasingly less sense to me. Here’s why:
It doesn’t matter which CPU you choose, INTEL or AMD; to achieve the performance they offer you must supply them with masses of power and then spend good money trying to cool them down. It is the same with GPUs. Year on year the situation gets worse: more power and more cooling. It is nuts and, unless I have missed something, the only company that seems to be trying to buck this trend is Apple. An elegant solution to a problem is an efficient one and I don’t think that word can be applied to any of the more recent creator builds I see on line.
Wish me luck with the Mac Studio. The only Apple product I have is a phone and I have figured that out so there is hope. 😉
*Worth noting that a company (GPU.Audio) are working on applications which redeploy GPU processing cores for audio processing. This is huge for people doing what I do.
Not true...nothing wrong with the gpus. For example a 4090 is 2x3090ti and runs just as cool if not more. Offcourse it's going to draw power to run like that. Cpus are also very powerful from previous generations. Plus you have eco modes which barely decrease any performance! This whole power cooling things is just BS..it will not make much difference in your bills by 4-5$

Thank you for a very good explanation of this motherboard.
USB stick 1:14 is a good idea cause you can download new drivers keep them updated or for something else 😊
I'm watching this to make myself feel good about buying this at a microcenter as part of my $5k PC.
Waiting for your 7000 series review
I just ordered this motherboard last week. It should arrive tomorrow and I've paired it with the Rysen 9 7900X CPU. Also ordered 32 gig Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6400MHz RAM. GPU is a GeForce RTX 4060Ti. Can't wait to put this together and see how it performs.
In case anyone is wondering, I don't play games. Rendering will be the toughest job this new workstation will have to contend with. This just might be a bit of overkill. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did the Corsair 6400 run at 6400 on this board?
@@spl4t1with this crappy gen1 am5 Motherboard and cpu, i doubt. Amd indicates 5200 no ? Personally i wait to see 770 chipset and ryzen 8000 that amd said will support 6400 and even 7000, we will see. If not i will pass on am5 wait am6 and see what Intel arrow lake is proposing. This board has no post code and no cmos reset button, something i have on my nearly 7 years old crosshair 6 hero zen 1 am4 motherboard. And my 1800x runs cool at stock without any changes.

Man! Just do a Super Clean build with this Please !
Great video!
This is my dream motherboard for Ryzen 7950x as it has everything I need and want in one MB and then some. It is just above budget I planned for a MB (around 350 max).
Wonder if they will be on BlackFriday sales (I doubt)
Imagine running this with hypervisor managed through internal GPU, using 2 VMs with dedicated NIC and GPU, and still have plenty of storage lanes to go with.
The USB4 ports are interesting to me because it means that you can use thunderbolt devices.
What's ur opinion on this vs the Asus Strix Gaming x670e-e? I'm building a new workhorse pc that is literally all purpose from 4k editing to high end VR gameplay and recording, streaming etc. I'm really torn between the 2. I don't need the 10gb lan but the usb 4 seems nice to have, the 16+2 power phase concerns me but I only plan on using the automatic overclocking features of the 7950x would this be enough? Full build should be 4090, 1300w psu, 32gb 6000 ddr5 and a 7950x. Only reason I passed on the asrock x670e tachi was the lack of the lower pcie lane or else I would have jumped on that. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
I am in the same situation.. thinking of strix e or the taichi. Why do you need the lower pcie lane?
@@abhisheksakpal484 what did you end up going with I just got the 7950x looking for a mobo
@@left4hash317 I went with the asus strix e finally.. build was great and no issues so far. Just updated the bio and all good with 64gb ddr56000.
Actually = the board itself can support upto 192gb since there are 48gb ddr5 modules now. I have a 192gb kit on my ProArt X670-E Creator Wifi at the moment. It was only listed 128gb ram is that there wasn't the 48gb per module chip when this board came out.
The only thing missing is SPDIF out and a POST diag LED display. Just bought this board. I have an external SPDIF to USB-C adapter what I can connect so that is solved. :)
Totally kool dude - Awesome - show a build complete a to b - keep it under 3000 if you can - I know you have the build on other sets but can you just focus on this from a to b?
Great video.
Lucky me! I just ordered this yesterday! Lol
I really like the new platform, it is so much faster than what I used to have. Some stability issues though. I can't reliably speed up the RAM and chrome has crashed the system a few times. Still, everything else is awesome. Getting through some of the Bios nonsense. I think my issue is the RAM.
BIOS 1003 has memory context restore working now, which helps a lot with OC RAM.
@@natewheeler1420 thanks, I am going to have to look into that :)
When I bought my ProArt X570 I completely overlooked the audio outs -- no TOSLINK optical out. I thought I could live with only three PCIe slots, but now that my graphics card and MOTU PCIe-424 are installed leaving me with only one free slot, I'm missing the x1 and x4 slots. For my optical audio, I ended up purchasing an HDMI audio extractor which works.
Which motherboard would you buy instead if you had the choice now?
This looks like an add...
CPU_OV header increases the voltage range in the BIOS for pretty much every overclocking "knob."
PLEASE DO A VIDEO FOR BEST CREATOR Z790 BOARD. The z690 board from your other videos are already more expensive than the z790 boards and usually out of stock. I need to decide on a board for the i7 13700k soon.
Was about to purchase this as it looks fantastic…. No led post codes?? 💀
There are LED's for the various parts.
@@johnpaulbacon8320 leds for trouble shooting you mean?
Yep, I already bought this board.
Good video but Don’t forget to mention using a very good power supply you need a 1000 to 1200 watt Gold or Platinum power supply with a large battery UPS with proper power conditioning… The new mother boards are becoming more power sensitive these days… This builds probably cost 3k including graphics card so protect it!!!!
One can get a B650M Riptide (cheapest B650 board, but sufficient to power a 7950X, even overclocked, without any issues) + a 7700X for that price. Damn!
A ProArt Creator motherboard using the Intel Z790 chipset is what I'm waiting for, if Asus is planning to make one.
They will for sure. They made one for the Z690.
Hmm... I had lots of bad luck with this mainboard. I built 2 identical PC's with this mainboard and got no image, just a white LED. I bought an older CPU thinking it was maybe the new x79503d that wasn't supported but still no image. Tried flashing with USB flash, no luck. Tried a different GPU, different PSU, different RAM, tried onboard graphics too, cleared CMOS, but no luck. Remember, this goes for both PC's, both had the same problem with no image. Maybe these boards are very picky with RAM. I swapped for a MSI MEG ACE and problems went away.
Great review, thank you! One question, how much space is there between the PCIe slots? Have you tried running dual GPUs on this board? Any success?
Beautiful But sad because i need SDIF/Optical Audio for my sound bar and woofer. maybe i have to buy a SDIF PCIE card or hope they come out with another ProArt with it SDIF onboard.
Imagine paying $460 for a motherboard and not getting a Q-code display for troubleshooting
Odd that it doesn't come with a USB thumb drive. My ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme has a USB drive and no CD. I don't know if that's true for all ROG boards, but I'm surprised they are not also doing it for ProArt, since that's pretty much as premium as the top ROG boards.
Well none of that matters when you can download latest drives from ASUS website as you should always do anyway. I personally favor ProArt board cause I think it is overall better apart from overclocking or RGBs. On my opinion, none of those really matter. Having 10GB ethernet in its price class is big bonus too. I just don't see point in overclocking anymore cause all these chips have been mostly pushed to their limits by AMD or Intel anyway.
The biggest problem with the board is the case power header being right in line with the PCIE 3 connector. You cannot seat a third GPU in there!!
For what it costs, the IO shield kinda trashy looking out of the box. They could’ve made it better quality or not plastic looking 😅
seriously amazing job on your videography! you must've been a videographer or something. keep up the awesome work! subscribed
Was always curious as to if there is any difference in gaming performance. I am not a fan of the appearance of the gaming boards, This board looks awesome. I only wish it had all the audio outs for 5x1 or 7x1 setup.
No. You’d be good. The boards that are creators are going to have pretty much all the things you’d need. Keeping in mind that most people don’t OC the piss out of their CPU and stuff. The only thing I think this board is lacking that I physically wish it didn’t was the reset CMOS button. Instead they put a couple of use functions on the board that as a gamer I’d never touch. However… whether it be this AM5 board or the z690/790 variant you’ll be set.
I'm actually hesitant to comment these days, as it just opens me up to scammer replies. YT really needs to stop this stuff.
Gorgeous board!
Lol, you were saying?
@@KeithTreason They really are dumb huh? Even when I flat out say I know they're a scammer they try and scam me. Stunning.
I have just reported a dozen of them on this video, they are way out of hand.
huge huge issue with RAM and DOCP settings. Not achieving what is even stated on QVL list. Perhaps it was worth putting it through its paces before reviewing.
Not gonna lie. It does look like how one would expect a flagship board to. Clean , no frills, no gamer-gear aesthetics. While outfitted with more IO than you can wave a stick at for every kind of purpose. You wouldn't even need a USB-PD/QC4 brick and can attach a USB-C display device (e.g. a portable display to use as a second monitor). The lack of some things like Q-Code or a back cmos reset switch is unfortunate, but then again. If you needed those, then this is the wrong motherboard anyway. Reliability is the goal, not overclocking performance.
Ya wrong Asus proart MB can overclock great also!
I ordered this mobo not realizing it already had heat sinks for the m.2s. Bought the firecuda 530 with a heat sink on it. Will it still fit with firecudas pre installed heat sink too? Or should I return and get without heat sink?
Well, if you can return them I'd get them without heatsink, you'll save a bit of cash, coz heatsink variant SSDs are a usually abit more expensive. And the heatsinks on this mobo are good enough. :)
the little stain on the right at 3:48 made me think i had dirt on my monitor lol
I was really on the fence for you video, curious to see if you’d make me regret buying an Asus x670e TUF - outside of the extra usb-c port, 10Gb lan (and slightly better audio codec) I don’t think there’s any real difference
Do you perhaps have ability to try out and test whether USB4 ports on this motherboard support PCIe tunneling? The Intel controller used has such capability, question is whether there are required connections on the motherboard to support this feature. I really need desktop supporting eGPU...
I didn't know the new AMD cpu's have igpu's, I'd like to see a comparison of the amd to intel igpu's for video editing. (video accelerators/ asics )
Noted!
What specifically makes you think the ProArt wouldn't be good for overclocking?
I would assume it is the lack of Q-Code and a Clear CMOS button. You would have to diagnose somewhat blindly and go old-fashioned with a jumper on a header to reset the Bios after a failed overclock. The board (though capable) is just not intended for such things. It was designed to be a reliable workhorse to run 24/7 if needed.
@@Foxhood Clearing CMOS can also be achieved by removing the CMOS battery. Its not that hard
@@erenatas Correct. But most overclockers are spoiled by having OC specific features integrated like a simple button to wipe it and Q-Code indicators. If a board doesn't have that. It won't be seen as that good a choice for those who specifically want to engage in overclocking.
Which is simply not the design ethos behind the ProArt series anyway. Reliability is.
@@Foxhood Learned something new :) Thanks!
I am thinking of building a Server with this.
Still, no recent mainstream motherboard can do two PCIE at x16, due to CPU limitations.
True
Yeah I'm not seeing any features that this board brings to the table that have anything to do with artists. You'd get the same features (and maybe more) from just a regular board or a gaming-focused motherboard. The things that have influence on artists are the OS, the software they use and the hardware peripherals they use - none of which have anything to do with the motherboard ... other than _perhaps_ it having even more USB connectivity than usual so artists can plug in all kinds of devices, but again most things you can buy a regular/gaming motherboard can cope with fine. Just seems like this entire "ProArt" thing is nothing more than a gimmick and not worth the extra cost.
100% get what you're saying and would kinda agree... I'd point out that not a lot of motherboards have 10Gbe built in that is a huge thing :)
@@theTechNotice True, it is. But that's less of an artist thing, and more of a "this should be more commonplace on _all_ motherboards" sort of thing.
There are three main distinguishing features:
1. 10Gbps ethernet. All the ~$300 X670 motherboards have 2.5 Gbps. Adding a 10Gbps PCIE card would cost ~$100, as the video mentions.
2. Displayport passthrough to USB-C. This is a killer feature for anyone who has a USB-C only monitor, like an LG Ultrafine 5k. Other motherboards only support this with an add-in card that costs $100+.
3. Two PCIE Gen 5 m.2 slots. Other X670 motherboards only have one. This isn't an issue right now, since there are no PCIE Gen 5 SSDs out yet, but if you're planning to use more than one of them, you would need a board to support that.
So yeah, I think this board makes sense if you actually need 2/3 of those three things.
@@Mirrormn But again, other than perhaps point 2 with the monitor support _none_ of these benefits have _anything_ specifically to do with _artists_ - and _that's_ who they're aiming at with this motherboard. They know artistic stuff tends to garner a higher price, so they're trying to fleece artists with crappy claims that this motherboard, above others, can help the artist in some unique way. That's just outright false. It feels dishonest and a bit too much like a scam for my liking. Besides, if you're an artist buying very expensive monitors or other peripherals, then you're probably going to just buy a more expensive, feature-rich motherboard any way along with other things like the more top-tier GPUs and CPUs. So again, pointless marketing by this company.
@@DavidStruveDesigns Sure, I guess I would say this motherboard is more oriented towards "content creation" and video editing than drawing/digital art. The 10Gbps ethernet and PCIE Gen 5 slots would both be good for high-bandwidth video editing, storing footage, that kind of thing.

Thanks for the quick feedback. Appreciate you kind assistance.
It would be interesting to see a comparison with the Gigabyte B650 Aero G, targeted also to creators.
I'm returning my B650 aero g for this after the aero g was not stable with any xmp profile on two sets of approved DDR5-6000 RAM (2 sticks in slots 2 and 4) and could not boot with any PBO including curve optimizer. Could be an immature BIOS (which I updated this week) or could be just a bad board. My feeling is that it's the BIOS as Ryzen Master can run a -30 curve on all cores no problem... just can't get windows to boot without crashing with those setting in BIOS. Also, it does not have PCIe 5.0. Crossing fingers that this x670 Creator is better.
At 3:10 it says Tron on the board. Just sayin
The question that remains... Will the this motherboard support the latest Ryzen 9000 series CPUs?
beatiful board ;D
under rated boards
So you still keep x16 at the first graphics card slot when using the two M.3 5th gen, correct? I'd hate to learn that the 4090 would be degraded somehow when the second GPU slot is not used. I have been trying to make the right choice for one PC that has to work for a home Digital Audio Workstation and a gaming PC. My 4790K and Nvidia 970 are a bit old in the tooth and my intel I7 xenon 975 is way old for modern audio work. I get one shot at this.
Wouldn't you agree the Intel version should have the W680 chipset that you can't buy anywhere? Does the X670v support team DDR5 ECC? The X570 was pretty crappy vs the Z690 one. But I decided for the hero in the end. Way more serious bord and accessories like the m.2 expansion and the demanded USB stick;) I got the Asus 10G for 70 Euros in addition. The new z790 boards don't have anything worth upgrading that I saw.
19:58 "Freeze Frame" says that the price is a "Deal?" also, has a message about "Yom and Siccos" (also seems only relevant to you?!" (is this a price based on only YOU?") Then, its a Pre-Order.

The board supports up to 192gb of ddr5 ram, but ryzen 7000 series cpus only support 128gb
but board will stay for 10 years due to latest socket .. while people can upgrade the cpu
This platform could REALLY benefit with more PCI-E lanes... this is basically old Intel HEDT class of hardware, except motherboards are rather unimpressive. I mean... Compare this to X99-E WS 😭 I honestly don't think in case of AM5 big board like this even makes sense, not enough bandwidth to go around. ITX and mATX offerings however are leaps and bounds ahead the dumpster fire that AM4 platform was with rich I/O. Such a shame that with opportunity to introduce new socket they didn't capitalise on it and increased amount of available lanes... just not enough to account for all these connections (pretty much all big motherboards disable some porta while others are active...)
15:37 16:40
my issue is that CPU have 20 PCIe only, everything bellow 40 wont work for me.
what about the gaming boards? anything good for pro connectivity/thunderbolt? I would love for ASUS to put the 2-digit boot display in these boards, making troubleshooting easier is a must for pro-work!
Yeah, true....
@bestbuy is sponsoring this video, yet they dont sell this motherboard on their website :/
Even a USB is basically just plastic waste. Chances are, you'll need new drivers from ASUS site directly and Windows today will install the OS REGARDLESS of drivers or not (gone are the days when you NEED specific drivers to proceed a windows installation) and who da hell needs a 1GB USB stick? Just a QR code or link on the box itself is enough. ASUS, get on with it.
Please between the Asus pro art b650 and the pro art x670e which is better
I wish they made a premium creator motherboard in ITX or MATX, full/ mid towers are way too large imo.
100% agree!
@@theTechNotice I'm just the opposite. I'd like to see a bigger motherboard. There really isn't any way to cram all the features into a smaller form factor, is there? If anything, there should be more PCIe slots. And for some people that want to put two RTX4090 cards into their system, absolutely forget it with a smaller form factor. Of course I get it that some people like smaller systems. For me, though, that's what laptops are for, or NUC kind of ultra mini PCs. For my typical use, the PC is under my desk, and a full tower case fits nicely, giving plenty of room for a beefy motherboard with all the features I could ever need, plus enough expansion ability.
Any way to actually order this? Out of stock everywhere
