Hey Laurent! Informative review as always. I just wanted to draw your attention to a small error in one of the graphics. If all 16 phases put out 70A each, then the CPU should be getting 980 amps, and the total available value should be 1,120. You labeled all of the phases as being 70A, but the ones responsible for the CPU add up to 840A or 60A each in the graphic at 14:20.
I don't even need a new MoBo. I bought a new PC last year and chose a MoBo based on your recommendations. The thing is, your reviews are so entertaining and in depth I keep watching them!
Bought two mobos after watching his videos. The videos are so informative and fun to watch. Love to see a mobo with an ez debugger because he loves to pronounce it 😂
Picked up this motherboard with a Ryzen 7 7700x. This motherboard ROCKS! Excellent technical breakdown and isolation of chipsets/M.2/PCIe slots! I like knowing what chip handles what, and what path it controls! What an excellent review! You, sir, are an asset to RUclips and the technical community! Greetings from the USA!
I am also using a 7700x with this board. Im just running Expo 1 as I wanted to tune it up but not push it yet. After all this ASUS chaos regarding overvoltage, I am glad for being cautious.
@@binodynamic My boot times are only average as the Mobo seems to take a few extra seconds to recognize the ram every time. I think there is a bios update for that now. I just put my PC to sleep now instead of turning off every night. It wakes up and boots quickly into windows. Very quickly.
This board is SOLID! Haven't had a single issue with it. It's allowing me to run my 7700X @ -30 Vcurve on all cores, stable. I might have won the Silicon lottery with the CPU, but this motherboard, I believe is helping achieve that.@Marins39
I also got this motherboard + 7950X and G-skill 6000mhz Expo ram about 4 or 5 weeks ago. No problems at all and running smooth. I'm very happy with the combo. I bought it all after the 7950X price dropped by €200, so jumped in at that point. Using a Corsair HX1000i psu and a Noctua NH-D15 cooler.
@@yufoh7753Hello everyone, I'm stuck between this board and the ROG STRIX X670E-E wifi. There is a difference of 215 $. Actually the features of the board are completely sufficient for me (I will plug in one rtx4090, use one m2, and there are 3 2x2 usb's in the back, these are enough). The only thing I can think of is the number of VRMs; 16 for tuf, 20 for rog. I was thinking of 7900x as processor, maybe 7950x. Is 16 VRM enough or will I have problems? Your feedback will be very valuable to me.
Well done, maybe this and the forthcoming 7000 x3d for me early next year. Motherboard prices are getting so expensive so upgrade path from that is also a plus.
@@talon1706 yes but nothing serious. First was RGB working even system was off. So went to bios. Then I made a mistake placing my Thor Psu aiming the dark side of the Cage 🤣🤣🤣 I thought should be cable o something but ... My error. That's why couldn't see wats or RGB. In bios, there's a lot going on. So I'm running all stockish. So far, all is good, quiet, cold and functional
I got a TUF 570 with my current build. If this lasts better than my last couple of motherboards, maybe I'll stick with TUF for my next build. I've had bad luck of Motherboards always failing on me.
I suspect your Power Supply is the one caused it. Right now, I'm still using PC from 2012 and this motherboard is the cheapest one from Asus. It's still operational till this days. I learn from my experience cheap PSU can't protect your motherboard from over voltage, undervoltage, over current, power lose and lightning strike. Always make sure your power supply is certified with 80 plus.
I just got this for $200 for my new build. Gonna put a 7700x and a Zotac Infinty OC 4090 in there. I got a free 6000mhz ddr5 32 gig kit with my 7700x. I am waiting for my Arctic Freeze 360 aio to come in. I can't wait to build this new rig. I'll be upgrading from an i7 6700k with a 1080ti.
You're funny, i'm not sure if you're for real or just trolling but I like it lol... also your motherboard reviews are far beyond anyone else's. good luck with your RUclips adventures.
Wondering a bit - new here and just watched the MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk WIFI review where the "had to flash BIOS before boot" was the big nono. Together with some other points where it sounded a bit like "well done Asus" vs. "gimme a break MSI" for the very same feature...
For me, these features needs to be put in context. If a manufacturer places an extr feature while missing fundamentals... it's a big nono. On the other hand, if all the fundamentals are covered and we get extra stuff... it's a kudos ! That's why the same feature can lead to different appreciations. :) Thanks so much for being here. Taking the time to comment and watching me Carcharhinus :)
Bought mine on release date, very happy with it so far. My only complaint is i wish the bios warned you that you're going to lose sata1&2 when you turn on m.2x4 mode. Took me a minute to figure out why my drives werent showing up.
@@darktrexcz Hey brother, i’m still learning a few of these little details. What’s the difference between x4 and x2? I’ll be putting my OS M.2 into the 5.0 slot and i’m thinking of getting a 2TB for the 4.0 slot for games. Will that be good?
Great video. Just watched this and your ROG Strix 670E-E review. Have this board, but it is failing the RED CPU light. Was thinking about switching to the ROG Strix bundle. Which do you think is easier to troubleshoot and will support the AM5 the best over time? Much appreciated and keep up the great work. Definitely earned a subscription!
Come on, I'll order it. I'm banking on greater robustness than the Tomahawk. I'm still going to take a look at the Strix but not for long. C'est vraiment un régal de t'écouter :)
Hey Laurent, I bought a MSI Tomahawk B550 because of your videos! Thanks a lot the hard work! There's a chance that we are going to see some review about the X670E Taichi made by you?
I have one. Its been reliable in performance. My case is not the coolest as I prefer quiet over ultimate cooling. Temps still remain in the average section of the bell curve. We will see how it holds up in the next 12 months.
@@ronakbarman3580 Not a peep from my Motherboard. Just how I like it. The whole PC has been stable since day one. Im running a mild undervolt/OC on my CPU. Also running the same on my 7900XT. Man it just chews up games on my 3440x1440 Q-OLED. Happy I went this way.
Hi Laurent (with a French accent) ! I believe there was a slight issue in the representation of memory channels at 5:54 as it suggests channels combinations are slots 1&2 and 3&4, where i acuatlly think first is : 2&4, second is 1&3, as their colors show. Other than that great job and thanks for the review !
Salut . That's a common mistake. 2 and 4 are the master dimms which needs to be popualte to activate each channel and have the best possible bandwidth access to the CPU. When you only have 2 sticks, and to activate both memory channels, you place them on position 2 (to activated channel 1l, and position 4 ( to activate channel 2). Hope this help :)
I'm torn between this board and the Gigabyte x670 Aorus Elite AX. I can't find a single priblem with either of them at this price range. Can anyone tell me which one I should get please.

My ASUS TUF board just went out. It just randomly no longer boots Windows. It reads all my SSD drives but says "No bootable device found." I tried to reinstall Windows via USB and CD drive. The motherboard reads both the USB drive and the CD drive but still says "No bootable device found."

Sorry to hear this, I've had an Asus Maximus ROG, I think it is, (it's a socket 1155 motherboard), for about... maybe 10 years? Has stood the test of time.
Hi Laurent, a question. If you would have to choose between this TUF and the Asus Prime X670E-Pro WiFi? As far as I can see they are almost identical. But the Prime having an additional M2 heatsink. Button for releasing the GPU and clear CMOS and Power button on the board. However, it also has 1 ARGB header less, and the VRM coolers seem to be smaller/less efficient. Can't find anywhere if it has 8 PCB layers or not like the TUF. I am planning to pair it with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
@@diegorz5612 I was set to buy the Prime Pro, when I bumbed into a good second hand deal for a 2 months old Asus Strix B650E-F. Also a great motherboard.
their RTX 3000 TUF coller design is the best out there, separate heatsinks for vrm and memory plus the gpu die itself and all aluminium shroud. Cools like a strix at a much smaller size
Agreed. And I could see some gradual improvement in that domain in the past 2 years. Tangible and smart improvement on their passive cooling components.
Thank you so much for the amazing review, I hope you can answer my simple question, should I pick this one or Asus B650E-E for AMD 7800X3D, both are the same price now!
Hey man just wondering, is it possible to do reviews for mini itx boards? Like the x670e itx from asus? I feel like only atx boards just get talked about.
This was the m/b I bought when I got my 7700x - no regrets, although I agree, until I realised I had to flash it before doing anything it did upset me! However, the flashing process was so easy. Also the BIOS is easy to use and the thermal management is in my opinon great - a couple of high flow case fans, and an AIO and you're laughing!
@@coolissimo69 hi mate. Corsair RM1000e for the PSU and Corsair h150i elite. Idle or just low use steady around 35C. Under sustained load gets to around 80c (gaming,).
The chipset on this board gets extremely hot. on my ASUS TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WiFi motherboard, the chipset temperature according to HWiNFO without forced cooling in an open state (without a case) reaches 80 degrees Celsius at an ambient temperature of 26 degrees Celsius (without any overclocking operations and when the system is idle). With 140mm Bi Quiet forced air, the temperature never drops below 53 degrees Celsius. This is epic fail!!!
@@gugueta5 This is my first purchase of a platform on Ryzen and the last (after the discovery that the chipset consumes 7+7 watts and gets so hot), now only Intel, so I can’t advise anything. but if you still want to, then I would take a closer look at the msi x670e carbon wifi, because the chipset heatsink seems more massive and even if it also gets hot there due to the fact that the chipsets are located together and not under the video card, you can organize the airflow yourself (on Asus this is impossible because the video card blocks everything)
Mine is at 60c. Thermaltake View 71 case. (edit). I just ran Watch Dogs Legion and the chipset temps #1 61.9c max. #2 63.7 max. (edit) I changed the minimum gpu fan speeds to 30%. Now @ 45.6 and 50.1. 7900x3d / Strix 4090 oc.
BTW, the TUF X670E WiFi is almost exactly the same board as the PRIME X670E (not the P), minus a couple of buttons (one of them is precisely a PCIe quick release).
It's absolutely true. The PCB is the same. The coloring and paint is different. The components are about the same. The only difference will be the "TUF" treatment which implies more robust chokes , audio caps , and surge protection.
Very impressed someone notices. Inspecting hundred of boards makes it easy to see.... but when u buy a board every 2 years it's another story. Kudos to you sir.. and ur weirdly Lazer sharp sense of observation. Must have an hawk in the family.
This motherboard or the ROG STRIX X670E-E Gaming WiFi ? Also for the upcoming X3D processors? Would the surcharge for the more expensive be worth it or would it not matter?
Bonjour Laurent, If you have the choice between an Asus TUF Gaming X670E-Plus WiFi and Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi, which will you choose? This is my first PC build R 7800X3D / Asus TUF RX 7800XT OC I would like to OC the processor and graphics card with AI tweek.
X670 will support around 2 max 3 Gens. They already said 2025 will be finished or 2024...dont remember anymore but that means 7000 and 2 years later the next gen and than kts over
6400MT/s memory support is kinda low comparing to Asrock, MSI and Gigabyte X670. btw at 6:55, the orange M.2 slot at the bottom right is conneted to the CPU socket, not the chipset.
Wait… are you saying there is a TB connector on it…. I think you are overstating this… I think that is just the connector to get the PCIE Thunderbolt expansion card hooked up… (still like that! Have one on my Strix Board!)
well yes :) that's what i assume viewers would understand :). I apologize if I was not clear enough about that, i'll make sure to clarify on the next reviews :)
Q LED will come forsure soon also to Tuf because of the insane Price of X mainboards. At least to the X Mainboards. Maybe 1 or 2 Mainboard gens and than they add it. They need new ideas for their MBs so they will do it one day.
glad I made a good choice, i will be getting mine for my 7700x in a few days. going back to Ryzen cpu's after a couple years away. but I enjoyed the 1600x 2600x and 3600x in the past.
I am interested in the version without Wi-Fi (TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS) ask if it has the bios version that allows temperature control of the Ryzen 9 7950X. Thank you.
Aren't the Prime Pro Wifi and TUF Gaming x670e identical boards? everything seems exactly the same, except the prime pro has a metal brace for the graphics card, and is 50 bucks more expensive. Tuf is the best value for x670e easily.
Hey Laurent, if you're open to requests I have a couple of Z690 mobos I would be ecstatic to see you review: the EVGA Z690 Classified, and the GIGABYTE Z690 Gaming X DDR4. If you could do either or both of those reviews I would be eternally grateful. Merci!

Hi Laurent, a question. If you would have to choose between this TUF and the Asus Prime X670E-Pro WiFi? As far as I can see they are almost identical. But the Prime having an additional M2 heatsink. Button for releasing the GPU and clear CMOS and Power button on the board. However, it also has 1 ARGB header less, and the VRM coolers seem to be smaller/less efficient. Can't find anywhere if it has 8 PCB layers or not like the TUF. I am planning to pair it with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
Which did you buy?
@@diegorz5612 I was set to buy the Prime Pro, when I bumbed into a good second hand deal for a 2 months old Asus Strix B650E-F. Also a great motherboard.
their RTX 3000 TUF coller design is the best out there, separate heatsinks for vrm and memory plus the gpu die itself and all aluminium shroud. Cools like a strix at a much smaller size
Agreed. And I could see some gradual improvement in that domain in the past 2 years. Tangible and smart improvement on their passive cooling components.
By the way, I always love reading you comments Jake. You seem to know your stuff. Good to have you on the channel :)
Thank you so much for the amazing review, I hope you can answer my simple question, should I pick this one or Asus B650E-E for AMD 7800X3D, both are the same price now!
Oh for sure. Go to the Strix B650E-E!!
@Laurentschoice bless you bro! Gonna order it!
why?@@Laurentschoice
Hey man just wondering, is it possible to do reviews for mini itx boards? Like the x670e itx from asus? I feel like only atx boards just get talked about.
Because full atx boards have the most features
I keep getting a yellow dram led, swaped out the MB, ram 2x, power supply. what should I try next?
This was the m/b I bought when I got my 7700x - no regrets, although I agree, until I realised I had to flash it before doing anything it did upset me! However, the flashing process was so easy. Also the BIOS is easy to use and the thermal management is in my opinon great - a couple of high flow case fans, and an AIO and you're laughing!
Mate what cooler you went for and Power supply?
@@coolissimo69 hi mate. Corsair RM1000e for the PSU and Corsair h150i elite. Idle or just low use steady around 35C. Under sustained load gets to around 80c (gaming,).
@@lehoff Thanks for the answer. Isn't 1000 W , over the top? And the Corsair h150i elite is the 360 mm ?
@@coolissimo69 yes 1000w is overkill but I've had it a while and it only draws what it needs ultimately. Yes 360mm radiator 👍
@@lehoff my case wont fit that radiator what is your case?
The chipset on this board gets extremely hot. on my ASUS TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WiFi motherboard, the chipset temperature according to HWiNFO without forced cooling in an open state (without a case) reaches 80 degrees Celsius at an ambient temperature of 26 degrees Celsius (without any overclocking operations and when the system is idle). With 140mm Bi Quiet forced air, the temperature never drops below 53 degrees Celsius. This is epic fail!!!
Which mobo do you recommend for 7950x?
@@gugueta5 This is my first purchase of a platform on Ryzen and the last (after the discovery that the chipset consumes 7+7 watts and gets so hot), now only Intel, so I can’t advise anything. but if you still want to, then I would take a closer look at the msi x670e carbon wifi, because the chipset heatsink seems more massive and even if it also gets hot there due to the fact that the chipsets are located together and not under the video card, you can organize the airflow yourself (on Asus this is impossible because the video card blocks everything)
Mine is at 60c. Thermaltake View 71 case.
(edit). I just ran Watch Dogs Legion and the chipset temps #1 61.9c max. #2 63.7 max.
(edit) I changed the minimum gpu fan speeds to 30%. Now @ 45.6 and 50.1.
7900x3d / Strix 4090 oc.
I'm not a fan of these temps on a PCH.
BTW, the TUF X670E WiFi is almost exactly the same board as the PRIME X670E (not the P), minus a couple of buttons (one of them is precisely a PCIe quick release).
It's absolutely true. The PCB is the same. The coloring and paint is different.
The components are about the same. The only difference will be the "TUF" treatment which implies more robust chokes , audio caps , and surge protection.
Very impressed someone notices. Inspecting hundred of boards makes it easy to see.... but when u buy a board every 2 years it's another story.
Kudos to you sir.. and ur weirdly Lazer sharp sense of observation.
Must have an hawk in the family.
This motherboard or the ROG STRIX X670E-E Gaming WiFi ? Also for the upcoming X3D processors? Would the surcharge for the more expensive be worth it or would it not matter?
Can we have dual GPU setup on this motherboard?
Bonjour Laurent,
If you have the choice between an Asus TUF Gaming X670E-Plus WiFi and Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi, which will you choose?
This is my first PC build
R 7800X3D / Asus TUF RX 7800XT OC
I would like to OC the processor and graphics card with AI tweek.
X670 will support around 2 max 3 Gens. They already said 2025 will be finished or 2024...dont remember anymore but that means 7000 and 2 years later the next gen and than kts over
would you recommend this over the aorus elite x670 for a ryzen 5 7600x im planning to overclock a tad bit?
Laurent, Hi and Gracias for all videos!
If you have the money to buy x670 e gaming wifi and Tuf x670, which would you buy?
I'd go for a Strix x670e-E
@@Laurentschoice thank you! Will try to get it that one! ❤️
6400MT/s memory support is kinda low comparing to Asrock, MSI and Gigabyte X670.
btw at 6:55, the orange M.2 slot at the bottom right is conneted to the CPU socket, not the chipset.
Is this board really enough to “seriously overclock” a 7950x? I see so many different reviewers saying it’s “unimpressive” and so on…..
Wait… are you saying there is a TB connector on it…. I think you are overstating this… I think that is just the connector to get the PCIE Thunderbolt expansion card hooked up… (still like that! Have one on my Strix Board!)
well yes :) that's what i assume viewers would understand :). I apologize if I was not clear enough about that, i'll make sure to clarify on the next reviews :)
Would you still recomended it today with these Asus BIOS failures?
USB 4 Standard will soon include the 3.2 version to make things simpler as i hear. so i guess like 4.1 4.2 or something like that
Q LED will come forsure soon also to Tuf because of the insane Price of X mainboards. At least to the X Mainboards. Maybe 1 or 2 Mainboard gens and than they add it. They need new ideas for their MBs so they will do it one day.
glad I made a good choice, i will be getting mine for my 7700x in a few days. going back to Ryzen cpu's after a couple years away. but I enjoyed the 1600x 2600x and 3600x in the past.
I am interested in the version without Wi-Fi (TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS) ask if it has the bios version that allows temperature control of the Ryzen 9 7950X.
Thank you.
Just a heads up, this board has some funky memory issues (like only taking 2 sticks out of 4 for some common memory)
Welcome to amd5. That’s a feature
What ram sticks are you using in this video??? On their website Corsair doesn’t have compatibility with the x670e for some reason so I’m confused.
where is the wifi module?
Under the main vrm extended block
Bonjour, Monsieur!
Most AMD optimized Rams are currently 6000 and below.
Aren't the Prime Pro Wifi and TUF Gaming x670e identical boards? everything seems exactly the same, except the prime pro has a metal brace for the graphics card, and is 50 bucks more expensive. Tuf is the best value for x670e easily.
They are very similar, but the TUF boards benefit from more robust VRM components.
Hey Laurent, if you're open to requests I have a couple of Z690 mobos I would be ecstatic to see you review: the EVGA Z690 Classified, and the GIGABYTE Z690 Gaming X DDR4. If you could do either or both of those reviews I would be eternally grateful. Merci!
Evga yes i could. Ill look into it
@@Laurentschoice awesome, I'll be looking forward to it!
How does this 1 compare to the b650e rog e wifi can't find why is pick this 1 over this
What about its little brother, the B650 plus WiFi? Is it worth it?
This one have better VRM and PCIe gen 5
@Laurent's Choice Please review MSI X670E ACE Motherboard.....!!!
Would this motherboard bottleneck with a amd 9 7900x and a RTX 4090FE?? I’m planning on building a set up like this
How many SSD can fit into the motherboard? 2x or 3x?
Wish it would've came with a dvd
