MAG X670E TOMAHAWK : No, no, no. 

Absolutely. A second fully powered x16 slot on the other hand? Am I missing something or isn't dual GPU practically obsolete?

​@@finneoganI've read that it can be good for certain production workloads but not for gaming unless a game is built to use 2(which 99% aren't). Certain rendering programs seem to get a massive boost from dual gpu set ups

​@@finneogandual GTX 1080ti was legendary still is but Mostly not now . However if it's a workstation yeah makes sense put three w7800 there

Not to match a capture card, or 2 more USB-C ports if you need them.

Thats what im currently building right now. Mahalo

6400 MT with 1:1? wasnt 6000MT max for 1:1?

Not since AGESA/BIOS updates.@@thedarkangelpt

what ram sticks did you use? im trying to find the best ram that utilizes expo. im hearing that it doesnt boot with intel compatible sticks?

I'm using an XMP kit so I can't make recommendations on that, but any higher speed low CAS latency kit should be be Hynix m or a die and do well once MB is updated.@@vinny2shots

If its solid, what could be better ? Just to know what to look at when buying one. 😊

I'm also looking to buy one, I just got a 7800x3d and am looking for the best motherboard.

You dont need the Bios reset Button just remove the battery for few secs

Hello, Is this board still serving well? The way you have the m.2 in the first slot and then another in the expansion slot. Does this reduce the x16 gpu to x8? This confuses me

The GPU is on a PCIx5 slot, and has it's own lanes, as well as the main m.2 drive. My second m.2 drive is on a PCIx4 slot with an adaptor. All three have a direct path to the CPU. The other m.2 slots run off the chipsets, and share lanes with USB, ETHERNET, etc. You can download the manual and it shows all the lanes for the motherboard. Yes, the board runs perfect.@@carnagelan

check the block diagrams. He says this Tomahawk is messy, but in reality when you check the block diagrams then this is clean and the TUF is messy

I think the slow booting seems to be a 670e "issue". I have another one from Asus ROG and it also takes longer as I used to it.

LoL i'm in the same situation, on 1 hand i don't want my cpu to blow up after 3 months using a asus board, but now i find this yt vid..

Filming the carbon and I had to refresh the bios to get somewhat of a stable boot. Hard to believe it's going to be like this for all X670E powered boards!

@@Laurentschoice if you are talking about the booting. I don't know if every 670e has it. But I read quite often in customer reviews for different boards take some time. Just took the time and my board needed 45 seconds to boot the bios

I just got this a few days ago and booting helped by turning BOTH "Memory context restore" and power down enable" in dram settings this improved load times. Latest BIOS to date.

YOO! thanks for dropping by!

Did you just join ? Really appreciated MARKO. Let me know your twitter and insta handlers! You just made my day!!!!!!!! (and please use these sweet emojis as much as you can :) )

@@Laurentschoice Just joined correct. Only have Facebook to remind me of my friends' birthdays :D

WORD

AM5 is a new playform, Z790 is just refreshed Z690 so no comparison really, and Intels CPUs are insane in terms of power usage anyway, i9-13900KS pulls 400+ watts in multi thread LMAO

Four M.2 slots are not overkill at all - if you want or need fast storage, the fourth slot is potentially saving you a lot of money, because you can use more smaller drives instead of the much more expensive large capacity ones. As for the lack of shield for the fourth, an adequate aftermarket heatsink costs you 10$.

i been having the same issue do you got a fix ?

@@silobruh5377 I send it back and got the gigabyte x607 elite. Sorry, I cant help.

Says he don't know why there's the extra 2 pcie ports. The reason. Pcie wifi card and pcie sound card. Onboard wifi blows dick and onboard sound blows a really nasty dick. Onboard sound makes games sound so damn retro, it's like having the sound from Duke nukes. Do not skip on ur wifi card even with onboard wifi, and DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT SKIP OUT on a dedicated sound card. Even if you use a dac for audio, you absolutely want something like the AE-9 to feed your dac with very high quality sound. You'll hear them footsteps much better and high fidelity of high quality music as well. Even youtube sounds better. And no hiss whatsoever

@@metabang03 it’s exactly what I have, a 4 chassis HiFi DAC from Musical Fidelity connected using the SPDIF output.

Thanks for the kind words :) I thought I did compare the board to a Strix of some sort during the review and explained why it did not do so well against it :)

I have the Tomahawk. It's really got 0 issues, you have all you would ever need and it's pretty damn easy to troubleshoot (and if you can't just reflash bios with the button). Connectivity is not a problem...when are ever going to connect more than 4 or 5 things at a time, if that? And if you were and cared about connection speed you probably need a 1000$ tier board...certainly not entry-mid range. Also you really don't need to go up to the Carbon for OC, mostly because the cooling and the VRM config is already overkill for any 3D chip, now or in 4 years. Either you get a major upgrade like the ACE board or you get a "budget" one like the Pro or Tomahawk (if you want the PCIE 5 stuff), i really don't see the point of what is essentially a slightly upwards sidegrade. Also, to be brutally honest, any x670e mobo will be obscenely outdated by the time PCIE 5.0 makes a real difference, i.e. on GPUs. Current gen GPUs aren't even close to maxing out PCIE 4 bandwidths, and you shouldn't expect to see any real use for PCIE 5 (except for ssds, which shouldn't be a concern unless you're a professional music producer or a pro video editor) for at least 3 or 4 generations. That being said, if you want RBG and a cleaner looking board, sure get the Carbon.

@@justsam100 What about the issues the reviewer was speaking of, have you encountered any? Just asking, because I was really looking forward to getting this motherboard. Is he just an Asus fanboy looking at minute bugs/glitches and blowing them out of proportion? I understand with all the recent bios updates to fix the VSOC overheating has thrown a wrench into ALL the motherboards having issues and maybe what he's saying could be the aftermath of the fix? Again, just asking you from experiencing this motherboard. Thanks.

@@arielis78 I think he raises a few good points (mostly about the chipset being underutilized), but honestly it's mostly nitpicking; for 90% of users anything he mentions will never make a difference. The actual issues i encountered, which he completely missed, were with EXPO and other memory related settings, but i suppos that's a mix of the chipset and expo technology being quite new and the fact that amd had to focus solely on the voltage issue for a while, so it's mostly AGESA being shit rather than the board or manufactures BIOS. I think both of these will get more stable in a few months. Another thing is that the wifi adapters is good, but it has pretty weak signal reception (or maybe my adaptor is particularly shit) compared to other boards i own...not a deal breaker unless you have a huge home. That being said you can still get the rated RAM speeds for your sticks with manual oc (you can copy the expo setting, disable expo and then input them yourself). Other than that I have really no bad thing to say about this product. My 7800x3d chip scored 18300 in R23 with PBO and -30 all core curve optimizer, which is exactly the same as you would see on a 1000$ mobo. You could even manually OC your 3d chip to get higher boost clocks and lower W use, but i doubt that's worth your time. Ran OCCT for stability test, 0 crashes in 6 hours so it's pretty damn stable. Flashed the bios once, when cpu wasn't installed yet and never again.

@@arielis78 Having said all that, go with your guts, don't let me or any tech guy on yt tell you what you should or shouldn't like or buy. Get a motherboard that is technically sound, from a quality manufacturer and has the feature set (and the looks) that you need, that's gonna be the best purchase for you.

@@justsam100 what bios version are you using?

Hi, do you still want to build a PC?

Very good Mobo... It if was in a vaccum.. and priced lower. :)

x670e for shure

I'm getting a tomahawk because it's $50 cheaper in my region besides that I think MSI is the best considering gigabyte in Asus have issues ASUS has a voltage issue and gigabyte has privacy issues

It's the same except basically on usb 2.0

Share the video ! It does not perform as well as the others :). I need minutes watched on this one! (Sorry for being direct ) !

Thx for the kind words! Just reviewed the z790 carbon and saw a rock solid BIOS. Not sure if they fix this one though. :)

@@Laurentschoice fingers crossed it's ok hahahahaha keep up the great work mate! I could watch you present all day hahaha

They fixed it on the Carbon... but if ur in tomahawk budget I'd go TUF x670

Thanks for the reply and I will keep looking to you for advice@@Laurentschoice

Bios freeze seems to be a common msi bug. X570 tomahawk was freezing in bios setup, and it all started presumably after I installed a pcie wifi module (ax210 because onboard ax200 drivers are buggy af, not msi fault though). Resolved with a bios update

У меня bios зависал в первый день работы, на второй день всё само вылечилось, это была самая первая версия bios. Потом поставил 1.3 , всё так же хорошо работает.

No worries Vincent :)

You bet I am !

@Laurent's Choice awesome! Can't wait too hear your thoughts on it. Got it during the whole asus and other boards killing chips debacle and at the time it was $50 off so I just said why not.

Ordered and paid for

I have it and have zero issues with it. Booted without bios update and xmp profile worked at 6000mghz. Runs my 5 7600 at 5.35 on all cores at 1.18v. Only complaint is the bios is old as shit when it comes to the layout.

@divzed3737 no issues at all. I have everything in a fractal torrent case I have it setup so I cannot hear my fans run. Hottest cpu gets is 55c under prime 95 torture test. Only time I can hear my pc run is if the gpu fans are maxed out and I have my headset off.

Only your eyes matter to me ;)

and that's how its done bros!!! Look at the MARKO smashing it DA BUTTON!!!!!!

With recent Asus RMA fiasco, no thanks for Asus.

what did u do bro i am still thinking....

@alierdemyuksel6516 microcenters a bit far. But you can order for pickup from their website. I got a MPG X670E Carbon for half price open box. Got lucky. Tried to register it and it had a new warranty from factory still. Also got extended from microcenter. No problems so far. And it's a level of board I didn't think I could afford.

@@shalifi7774 damn bro thx for answering me i was thinking on da x670e carbon with 2nd hand its really good thx

Thank you for mentioning this, I just bought the board because I found it cheap and I was getting a bit scared.

They are like 5 years old, lmao

Its hard to jump back on chipset :) I do get it though. Ur right. But it would be difficult for the current viewers to connect with it :)

@@MakeSh00t AMDs current APUs also don't support PCIE 4.0..........u can pair the B450 tomahawk max with R7 5700g, and later in the future u can add a A750 or any budget gpu too.

@@Laurentschoice i get it....but there are some very good B450 mobos that are worth mentioning....like the Msi B450 tomahawk max/carbon max wifi....these are worth reviewing. Where i live.... people frequently pair 3600X/5600X with them....and the demand is quite high as well.

wait for the MSI trollers, they'll tare me apart.

i think the Asus board has the crappy intel i225-V NIC, i would avoid that at all cost, over 25 years in IT, that NIC has got to be the worst and most troublesome, many revisions to fix it's basic issues, many driver fixes, i lost count over the years, problems fixed yet, nope....any realtek NIC is far better and safer choice.

@@Laurentschoice doubt there is such a thing. But you totally missed the crappy network part on this board.

I'm the professional help 😎

@@Laurentschoice Then we are doomed!

Now bend over and give me two coughs!

😄😄😄😄

@@Laurentschoice u look and sound like the type that would enjoy that but i have to decline thanks. Mental hospital is waiting for ur arrival lmfao.
