So there you have it. I think it’s clear to see that X670E as a whole is a great success. They all perform about the same, in your normal benchmarking and game tests, but then when it actually matters, they all get a big check mark for having decent features, and those all-important VRM temperatures.
You’re probably now wondering what one to go for based on my own findings and what one I’d choose, as it’s still a tough one. If you want to go small form factor, you have to choose the ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-I Gaming WiFi as it’s the only ITX board on the market so ASUS kind of has that one cornered. That aside, I think it’s clear to see that every board has its place depending on the budget you have and features, but it’s hard to ignore the likes of the AORUS MASTER which for the money, is an amazing product, though of course, if you want more, and money is no object, either of the ASUS Extreme or AORUS Xtreme boards will be amazing but will cost you a pretty penny, but I don’t feel like you’re getting ripped off. Mass amounts of Gen 5 M.2 support, great quality products. It’s not all smoke and mirrors. You really are getting something for your money, and the same can be said of the MSI ACE too, which certainly has the award for being the most unique looking if that’s what you’re after, while also utilising an interesting design when looking at the M.2 placement and that expansion card for more drives.
I will be as bold to say that I think this is the first chipset launch, at least in a very long time where I don’t really have anything bad to say. Every brand featured has really stepped up their game for X670E and it shows, while I would have liked to have had a larger stack of boards available to me, as I mentioned, that just wasn’t possible, as the likes of ASRock didn’t even bother to get back to us so their loss I guess. Luckily, the boards we did have, I want to say are probably the most popular out there and the ones that you guys and girls are probably eyeing up anyway so hopefully this video has given you food for thought. It took us long enough to test and get all this data into one place, and yes, we will have the same coming up for B650, Z790 and B760 so make sure you’re subscribed for that.
