Guys,i found this, must be must have for Ryzen 7000

only if you really suck at applying thermal paste or want to use something conductive.

Not at all, I see it as an extra level of cleanliness. I hate thermal paste getting on anything other than the ihs and block. This takes care of that nicely.

droid99 · Dec 1, 2022

As i understand that Guard sponge stays after applying paste with CPU cooler? No need to take it off before installing cooler? Am i right?

@maxfly I think what ox is implying is conductive thermal paste, ie liquid metal, so it doesnt get on the SMD's near the IHS

Guys, im still struggling to pick right mobo, what to pick? last element in my build

both mobos looks very nice, X670E doesn't have only POST CODE feature

The B650E, so you dont run into any backorder in-stock issues. Whats the rest of the specs tho?

droid99 · Dec 3, 2022

Thank you,

rest specs:

7600X till 3D cache
ram - CMH32GX5M2D6000Z36K
cooler - deepcool as 500 plus
gpu - msi rtx 3080 suprim
psu - fractal ion 860w platinum
case - phanteks evolv x + 6x m25 drgb fans from phanteks

If youre already planning on going 3d v cache. why not wait to get your mobo and peice it together then?

They are extremely similar boards.... The b650 stix e at least from what I can find isn't very clear how it is splitting lanes to the m.2 drives 3 of them are connected to the cpu with most boards setup like this if you use more than two it drops the GPU to X8 so I would lean towards the x670 strix A being the better board even without a post code because you can use 3 M.2 slots before dropping your gpu lanes to X8.

I've got already 7600X just for now, idk when 3D cache will be available to be honest. So im prepared for upgrade for any time.

@oxrufiioxo you can check detailed review there

He doesn't mention how the lanes are being split from the CPU to the 3 M.2 sockets attached to the CPU if using more than 1 drops the GPU down to X8 lanes this board would be crossed off my list I can't find online how they are split so you may need to message asus. If you never plan on using more than 2 m.2 drives 1 CPU/1 chipset its a non issue. The Strix A board can for sure handle 3 drives before dropping the gpu down to X8 1 CPU/2 chipset.

You will definitely not be able to populate all 4 on the B650E board without dropping the GPU to X8 because the CPU only has 24 lanes and that would take up 12 of them. The x670e Strix A depending on how the PCIe lanes are split up likely can use all 4 without this issue.

Might not be too limiting. I mean by the time gen5 drives roll around, should be big enough in capacity to compensate.

@droid99
Ahhh I see. I was about to do the same thing but im waiting just due to having a stronger chip. I can afford to wait it out some.

Both boards are excellent but I'm just trying to make sure the OP does as much research as possible and isn't surprised down the line if he/she populates all the M.2 sockets and notices his gpu dropping down to X8.

droid99 · Dec 3, 2022

I could have max just 2x fast m.2, ( i don't need more SSD) i was thinking which one to get. Both are extremely good mobos.

I bought also Lian li strimer V2 24pin extension RGB, to make more lights.

droid99 · Dec 10, 2022

Guys, finally i have everything i guess. Thank you again for your effort and help. I will post final build ofc.

Mobo weigh pretty much - 4-5kg, although box looks a small. Fans also weigh a bit.

eidairaman1 · Dec 10, 2022

Too bad there isnt a oem chip out for the 7000 line because this 5800 oem (now sold as a retail 5700X) is a kickass part lol.

Np with this, i doubt 3D cache version will be as OEM and i can accept it.

JrRacinFan · Dec 11, 2022

@droid99 seeing all the am5 builds makes me want to just get the platform just to have an early switch. My wallet's screaming at me tho " Dont hurt me please!"
lol

droid99 · Dec 11, 2022

Guys, everything works. But fans are too loud during restart or turning on PC.
Maybe i did something wrong.

Also and Expo mode seems not satble, i couldnt install windows 11.

I turned off AMD Expo and finally could install without problems.

Update. I turned off expo mode.

Installed windows, installed new AMD chipset driver.

Then i could turn on Expo mode again. Everything seems. stable now.

I have another problem with fans. It's just to loud.

Pretty normal during boot for fans to briefly run at max RPM. I use a corsair commander pro on both my systems to get around this not sure if other controllers would also work.

you can set custom fan curves in the BIOS

droid99 · Dec 12, 2022

Guys, i guess i did mistake with case hub.

I will do everything again after work, afternoon.

That white header should be connected with only 1x PWM fan and rest 5 fans to hub

Space Lynx · Dec 12, 2022

I am not using my case hub, I plugged everything into the mobo so I can control the fan curves through BIOS.

maybe my fan hub would let me do that too, I don't know.
