Which X870E motherboard?

[$anch3z]

Asrock Nova,paired with 9800x3d and latest bios.
Been rock solid with no issues.

Also running this, no issues at all

Some of the upcoming Gigabyte boards should do what you want; 4 NMVE drives, no primary PCI-E bandwidth reduction, option to have the second gen 5 drive run at Gen 5x2, or disable the USB4 and get full 5x4.

MSI's X870E Edge TI is meant to do the same thing, but has some issues with the primary drive dropping speed; so I disregarded it for my own build.

I have the asus Crosshair X870E so far it's been a great board not had any problems with it considering it's my first Amd board I've had for years.

I am interested in the Asrock Nova, could the members who have this board please tell me what memory they are using, i don't want any issues.
Thanks

Had no problems at all, runs at the timings on the box

Wow, quick reply.
Cheers $anch3z

I should have mentioned, it will be a ryzen 7 9700x cpu.

 

[$anch3z]

I went with the 9800x3d, there a compatibility chart on asrock site for the nova

 

[OldNavy]

So you have a ryzen also? I saw on the link you gave me it mentioned intel so i assumed that's what you had.

Yes Ryzen cpu, pretty sure than ram appears in the compatibility chart at asrock for this board

Just when i was getting enough confidence in the Asrock Nova, i asked chatgpt if there were any issues and it reported a lot of boot issues, long boot times and usb connection issues.
Sigh!

I wouldn't rely on chat gpt too much. It told me the 9070 XT didn't exist months after it had launched until I told it to search for it. Also the Edifier MR3 didn't have Bluetooth when in fact it does have Bluetooth. I could go on with it's errors. And also those were probably early bios problems so probably resolved now. Do a bit of research always before purchasing a new motherboard.

 

[OldNavy]

Jimbo,
So far the vast majority of comments are positive.

Might want to hold off buying a new motherboard, refresh season is just around the corner, and ASrock are the first to put there new releases up on there website, but Asus, Gigabyte and MSI are sure to follow soon.

X870E Taichi OCF looks to be interesting and aimed at Asus and there Extreme motherboards.

I've managed to frighten myself out of every board i look at, i can manage to find issues with all of them. This was easier before the internet was around!

This is very useful for cross referencing, and was linked to me a few months back:

Excellent, thank you Alexrose1uk

I have the asus Crosshair and a 9950x3d it's the first amd board I've had in years and was worried about changing from intel but I have to be honest I'm loving the board as I've had no problems with it so far.
