This is a decent motherboard and lives up to the price tag, but there are some odd decisions here and there that i just can't really explain. Also it has some excellent design choices. Maybe this is the AM5 board for you? Our Son chose it for his new build, so lets hope it serves its purpose well.

Hey, there is a V2 version of this motherboard, specifically named: Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2 Wi-Fi Is it any different to this one except for higher RAM speeds and a slight design change? Also, is the sound out of the rear port that bad? If I plug in a set of stereo 160-dollar Edifier speakers, will I notice a difference in sound quality or clarity compared to a better Asus Motherboard?

@mikesunboxing Месяц назад

This is a hard one to call the version 2 doesn't seem to add very much value that I can see in terms of sound I would say it is acceptable and unless you are a audio file there's a very good chance you will be very happy with the same quality and volume

I have this mobo and its very solid, zero issues. My advice is don't buy 4 sticks of ram for any AM5, only buy two. I decided to go 64GB (2x32) for futureproofing so I would never have to deal with potential future ram upgrade issues. Grab DDR5-6000 AMD CL30 EXPO for near guaranteed zero issues.

@mikesunboxing 2 месяца назад

seems to the same thing with all motherboards on AM5 4 sticks is basically impossible to get working at anything close to XMP speeds

@eggsdooley 2 месяца назад

Yeh mine is great and it is running a very busy flight simulator set up with both PCIe slots working fine (sound card, 10gbps ethernet adaptor). I’ve got two x 10 port powered usb hubs with all my peripherals and everything runs super smooth. The only thing I’ve had a problem with just recently is some fans struggling to hold their level of rpm sometimes. I may just have reached the limit of what it can do. Mind you, each header is 2A and has 3x .55A fans plugged in. That has got me thinking that maybe I need a higher end mobo. I don’t really know anything about it though. Also - mine is comfortably supporting 2x32 GB 6400mhz without any issues.

Nice review , seems a nice board not that i would ever buy a board with built in wifi myself , but i am curious as to why people dont like spinny disks lol ? personally i do have an nvme drive but for my back ups i have 2 1tb seagate drives , purely becuase (as i beieve) the spinny disks use a LOT less power than nvme drives do and as i use the back ups every week or so i figured that the less electric they use the better , love your channel btw

@mikesunboxing 2 месяца назад

thanks for the kind words! I think the stigma with HDD is that there is a latency when they spin up and seeking and transferring data is somewhat slower. For gamers the latency loading a texture or map can be annoying and in some cases lead to losing the game. For data storage and backups a HDD still is a perfect choice for its larger £ per TB and longevity

@dalebowley Месяц назад

Today I ordered this mobo, to upgrade into a new custom build from the previous ga-870a-ud3. The new styling will be a treat to learn from, as far as the latest in ssd tech from the old sata drives. The old mobo lasted 14 years.

@markod7662 2 месяца назад

As an owner of a B350 motherboard i was relieved to see i have a pci-e x 4 which i needed for the wifi card. Same size are also sound cards and video cards. Good question really what the long pci-e slots could be for. I guess they were cheap so they used them.

I already built 3 X670 Aorus Elite AX builds as they were the cheapest open box options. I just ordered this exact board for $100 open box last night. I found a brand new 7800X3D for $220 locally so I will have a extra 7600X that I plan to install in this B650 board to replace my daughters 5800X/X570S system.

@45eno 5 дней назад

Just tested the board with a single stick of ram and 7600x. It posted with a mid year 2023 bios. It’s revision 1.2 and I updated to May 2024 bios without issue. It came with Asus WiFi antennas and non factory cpu cooler brackets which I don’t use. Was able to 20% off for this so only spent $80 plus tax.

@danmar007 2 месяца назад

Reviewers always warn us about the cooler being able to clear the RAM, but I had to return the Noctua D15 because the motherboard shroud got in the way! The fact that it made the RAM slots a pain to access is a minor issue. 🙂 Because of this, my build, which has been gestating for months, is still not in production. Although I did manage to install Windows on it. When I returned the D15, I got a U12S, but it was obviously a used unit. There were slightly bent fins and when I flipped the fan the right way round it was covered in what looked like thermal paste. No wonder it was on the wrong way. As if that would catch anyone off guard. The rubber iso pads were also quite dirty. Most frustrating build ever. I'm starting to get a bad feeling about all of this. 👿

@@mikesunboxing I fully agree with you now. Yet, almost everyone making lists of best air coolers has it at or near the top. I should have known given its humongous size that it might be a problem. And the fans are ugly. Although it doesn't look as large as the one you installed in Collin's PC? 🙂

I think it's not exactly accurate to describe the B650 boards as mid range. They are mid range in price only. For a gamer, they are top-of-the-line. The X670 boards are directed at an entirely different user OR at a gamer who does not understand that the X670 has nothing to make for a better gaming experience.
