Gigabyte X470 Aorus Gaming Ultra is what i just ordered the other day. Hope it work outs for me.

Thanks Paul i bought the same MB 2 months back the extra 4pin helps when i am over clocked at 4.2 but it is not needed for every day use.

Dude your voice is insane for commentary, rare shit for sure. Very impressive indeed :D.
(You did however sound clearer when you were speaking with the video. Not quite sure why)

Nice video…. I had a doubt to ask you sir…
My pc specs
Amd 2700x
Msi x470 gaming plus
450W PSU corsair
Gtx 1060 6gb zotac
Antec df500 rgb cabinet
The main doubt I have is I currently have a ram stick of 8gb running at 2933mhz it’s zion blaze
But since I need to keep the rgb vibes… I want to switch it to Tridentz RGB 8gb 3200mhz CL16 ram… Will it be compatible? I don’t see that ram in QVL list on msi mobo
So will it run at 3200mhz if I buy it? Plz.. Help me with this
Thank you☺ so much for your time

nice timing also 😉 lucky you

Jesus, you look like a freaking Skyrim hero.

So is better or nah

MSI make the claim of 11 phase design. How’d they get that number? are they including the memory power phase too now (they don’t break it down in the details)?
This is a point to be highly critical of and the manufacturers need to be heavily criticised for the false phases their marketing includes. Indignant is the word that comes to mind and is what should be directed at manufacturers rather than words to the wise to consumers. You didn’t admonish the deception, you go on and say it’s really all ok.

It’s hard enough getting the nitty gritty on tech specs to base decisions on without having to decipher the misleading claims on what many use as one of the primary considerations for choosing a motherboard.

We won’t see differentiation of true phase designs for expanded choice, especially on second tier boards like the B450’s until manufacturers are forced to stop using misleading specs and get away with phakses as phases. Who wouldn’t like a 6 phase B350, it’d certainly influence my decision. If a board has phakses but claims real, I will drop it from consideration unless it has something really special that I must have that’s not offered on other boards.

Using a standard 40A per phase metric:
You can’t tell me that you’d prefer a 4(2)+2 as fake 8+2 design over a real 6+2 design or a 3(2)+2 as fake 6+2 over a real 4+2 design, even though the theoretical maximum power draw might be higher in the fake design (assuming no power bottleneck elsewhere in the design like 2 chokes but only 1 set of mosfets per phase) given that as you get into higher power draws voltages tend to become less stable, which additional real phases help offset.

So please when reviewing these boards, check the manufacturers claims and berate them if they are feeding the punters bullshit on their phase claims. We won’t get choice until people get pissed off enough and that starts with the reviewers.

Please note that fake phases are fine so long as the manufacturer makes it clear that it’s a double component design on a lower actual phase count, then they can be commended.

11:30 lol! Paul should do a dramatic reading of 21 Savage’s Bank Account

£120 is quite a lot to call it “budget”.
No comparison with X370 or B350?
Are there any real benefits over a comparable X370?
XFR2 seems to be working on X370 with updated BIOSes.

F7 the elite ways xD tnx

Good info but I was watching your eyebrows the whole time

As it was said to me, MSI and ASUS is like comparing “You’re comparing Lexus to Mercedes at this point.” Thanks for the video, I’ll be going with this guy. My build is almost complete.

Does it have SLI support? PCPartPicker says it does but I can’t find any word on it elsewhere.

Got mine and the ethernet port doesn’t even work lol

Thoughts on the b450 version of this board?

I found this at micro center for 100 bucks.

Great review and indepth benchmarking!
