Hi, I've seen some people on Reddit having issues with getting the system to post with varying degrees of success. Either they couldn't get the system to post with EXPO but were able to otherwise and some were unable to post at all. As I'm looking for a board myself and it seems like every manufacturer has one issue or the other with the 600 chipset, I'm unsure which board to get. How has your experience been?
No GPU's will need Gen 5 PCI-e Slots for a very very long time. Even the Top end 4090 Cards dont even use 45% of Gen 4 PCI-e X16 Bandwidth (actually most of the new cards from 3090+ are only PCI-e 4.0 x8) Not even RTX 5XXX Cards will use more than 50% of PCI-e 4.0 X16 Bandwidth, would need to run 2 cards on 1 slot with an Adapter to be able to come close to maxing out Gen 4 Bandwidth.
They couldn’t even bother to offer heatsinks for all the NVME. Those boards looks more and more like the 100ish budget but not barebone no heatsinks even for the VRMs. Just a side note, I was really apprehensive at the beginning of the video when you had the motherboard close to your monitor. I managed to give a nice scratch to an expensive monitor before, but that was while tilting the case trying to connect a nasty A-RGB connector.
I have this board and just noticed something strange and annoying. The M.2_1 and M.2_2 slots are connected to the CPU directly whereas the M.2_3 slot is connected to the chip; from my understanding this means that NVMEs in slots 1 and 2 will run faster than NVMEs in slots 1 and 3. However, the thermal frozr shield is on the M.2_1 (fast) and M.2_3 (slower), instead of the M.2_1 and M.2_2 slots, why? Is this to allow room for use of the second pcie slot?
Hello, i have installed the board and some pcie 3.0 game capture which is installed on my b650 Tomahawk. But i have an issue, before i upgrade into b650 Tomahawk, i have MSI B450 A PRO MAX whic is installed the same pcie game capture. In MSI B450 A PRO MAX, my game capture run at pcie bandwith x4/x4 thats mean the pcie_2 in motherboard run in x4 mode. But today, when i upgrade into B650 TOMAHAWK which is in spesification have PCIE 4.0 X4 yes, but when i install my pcie game capture, it only run in x2/x4 mode (x2 mode)... just take a look into my screenshot below. My Question is, how to get x4 mode bandwith in PCIE_2 lane, because i not install any M.2 slot.
There seems to be 2 interesting and not crazy expensive B650 boards, about same price : this MSI Tomahawk and the Aorus Elite A comparison/review of both would be welcome !
I love the tomahawk board, it's my 1st reccomendation if anyone asks for one and the best way to compare all the chipsets because it has them all almost. Great way to showcase how dog shit all the BX50 boards really are.
how is your mobo handling the 16 core cpu? is this b650 enough for 7950x or should i opt for x670? Note: I don't plan on overclocking. I'm planning a 16 core ryzen for 3d programs and productivity
Hi, I would like to ask about the boot time of the MSI B650 Tomahawk board. Is it true that every time I turn on the PC, I can get to Windows only in a minute? thank you
Its a very very difficult main board... alot of problems after i build my new pc.The bios system is sh*t cant boot correctly dont recognise the system parts i can tell more for it but its enough for now
The motherboard requires a 2x8 pin connection for the CPU. I'm asking because many motherboards work with a single 8pin. Can this motherboard also work with a single 8pin? If it is not, I'll get the gigabyte version that works with a single 8 pin.
It’s sad to say that motherboards these days are outrageously expensive. I truly don’t understand why? AMD completely missed the mark on this latest CPU release.
I still don't get the difference between B650 and X670 in AMD AM5 motherboards, The only thing I see is more high value lol. Absolutely nothing justifies buying the X670
Buy that good system Just Stop buying burgers / takeaway coffee everyday $10 x 5 = $50 or $20x5 = $100a week x 4 weeks = 400 month your New Awesome MB or ram kit in 2 months your New series13 i5 Cpu Make a sanwich cook your own burger its quicker better & cheaper long term .
This board looks like it should cost about $80-$100 that has barebones features. But what do you expect from the same companies that have been price gouging GPU's for the past few years now doing the same with motherboards.
Gidday from Thailand.. Just fumbled on yur channel flicking through YT on my tele as there's nothing to watch on Thai sat TV.. Like yur work.. Days of building a cheap PC are over by the look of things. Up to $1k for a CPU; $500 for a budget motherboard; $1500 for a graphics card, then a case, memory, PSU.. ouch.. Easily $5k & an empty wallet.. I used to build pc's for friends & work colleagues usually around $500-$800 for the good stuff.. I'd ask their budget and get the best gear I could find for them. My last build was an Intel system @ $1500, 3 years ago and last year an AMD AM4 system at $600 for my daughter.. How times have changed.. I won't be upgrading anytime soon unless parts fail..
@@GearSeekersI'm sorry sir, I'm not yelling I'm just asking from you that should I pair ryzen 9 7950x3d with this motherboard or with b650e pg riptide wifi or with gigabyte b650 aorus elite ax ?pls tell sir this is my humble request to you pls sir
I went with the tomahawk clearly but I was considering the Tuf gaming, ultimately it was the extra sata ports which pushed me over to the MSI board. From what I read the Asus board loses 2 sata ports when using the bottom NVME drive slot, which is a big deal for me, 2.5 inch storage has always been dirt cheap. So over the years I've collected a few 4tb SSD's for the price of 1-2tb NVME drives. I honestly love the motherboard, CPU overclocks like a champ on it, and I was able to get absurdly good ram timings on the board as well.
Sad but msi mag b650 tomahawk wi fi is full of problems. Most of them are VRM , RAM - CPU voltage problems. Just sell and buy another motherboard from other brand..
I bought one back then, still have it, still using it. Truth be told, I quickly regretted buying that thing, crazy overrated : ATX board with a SINGLE M.2 slot (what?!!!!), useless overbuilt VRMs for budget CPUs, cheap-looking VRM heatsink, garbage-tier RGB lighting*, no ARGB header whatsoever... The B550 boards were far superior in comparison. Later bought an MSI B550M PRO VDH for much cheaper : far superior board overall. *extremely limited color selection, harsh lighting, no BIOS control i.e. MSI bloatware required
i love the tomahawk mobo but the fact its missing the 3rd m.2 shield heatsink is cheap and they numbered them is even worse... so, if you were able to get get an extra heatsink and it would look ugly unless it had "3" on it... pretty disappointing, cheap and ugly if you as me... specially with that asking price you think it would for sure come with that 3rd heatsink... X570 mobo's are cheaper and come with the 3rd heatsink... 🤨😑😶🙄🤔 GTFO MSI with you new high pricing!!!
yes, yes i am... lol 1st world problems eh but to be honest this is selling for $380cnd(plus tax at the moment)... so if i'm paying $400 bucks for a mobo that should be half the price(b550)... then yes, something like that actually matters to me... even the x570 tomahawk is cheaper...just saying...
@@_clemens_ at 400 bucks I would rant also that this board has ONLY 3 M2 slots even before complaining about the lack of one of the M2 heatsinks. Poor value compared to the old B550 Tomahawk (which unfortunately sported only 2 M2 slots, both with heatsink, tho) that was a very solid and complete choice when it came out years ago.
@@stamosreal no it doesn’t. You can very much still build AM4 at a budget like the OP said. There’s no rush to build on a new platform right now when prices are they way they are right now.
I like your videos but it doesn't help with how actually good it is as it doesn't show you actually trying it out and seeing how stable it is, how the bios is, how stable after oc etc.
