ASRock B650 Steel Legend WiFi coming out soon.

 

[Nelly]

MSI B650M PROJECT ZERO, already on sale in the USA! All the connectors are on the back of the motherboard for a wireless view.

Project Zero looks nice, but I wouldnt buy non-e chipset - one of AM5 selling points is longetivity, so why are they restricting pcie 5 for gpu, if we will have pcie 5 gpus in a year?

I saw the MSI X670E GAMING PLUS WIFI on sale as from December, I'll add it to the original post anyway. Seems to be around £40 cheaper than the MSI MAG X670E TOMAHAWK WIFI.

Gigabyte B650E AORUS ELITE X AX ICE being released soon. Also an X670E AORUS PRO X, although no additional info on that. Added both to the original post.

Gigabyte had announced previously, back in October 2023, the upcoming release of the B650 AORUS ELITE AX ICE and Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX ICE, these now seem to have hit retail inventory in the UK recently.

Biostar announced the following motherboards for release between April and November last year, although I doubt we will see these on sale in the UK.

That MSI B650 Project Zero looks great. mATX with Wifi 6e and BT5.3 with no visible connectors and which are routed better through the back of the system? Yes, please.

I still want Thunderbolt on an AMD system though.

Don't care about PCi-e gen 5.

The tomahawk looks like a half decent mobo. Shame about the audio codex on it though!

ALC1200 is good enough. Anyone who is an audiophile is using external dac anyway/optical connection. Most gamers now use wireless/usb headsets. Audio codecs dont matter anymore.

Anyone seen if we’re getting the Steel Legend here in the UK? Looks like a good board and everything I’m looking for in a board. Hopefully below £250, can’t believe I’m saying that though!

I cant remember the last time i used onboard sound... external dac or soundcard for the win.

Yeah tbf, I usually use optical and that's rare. Normally headphones

But still has the GPU connection wires on the front

Looks like Asus may do away with even them wires

 

[Blackwhite]

Does anybody use BIOSTAR mobo? I have quite bad experience with this brand from the past

I don't even think there is a distributor for Biostar motherboards in the UK anymore, can't see anything for sale either.

Its a good idea, but then you loose the ability to vertically mount the GPU as there are no 8 pin power connectors on the GPU and you have to buy ASUS parts, if you brought maybe an ASUS GPU and a Gigabyte motherboard, that extra power connector may fowl on a chipset heatsink or some other component.

I looked at the steel legend but only two sata ports was a no no for me as i regularly use four sata drives. Got it down to the MSI b650 edge and the rog strix 650e-f board which one is on sale when I have the cash I'll likely buy.

The new B650 steel legend Wi-Fi, the non -E version has 4 SATA ports now. But obviously it’s just B650 now and not -E

Is there a go-to budget/midrange board? Not been on AMD since barron core think im going to jump ship this time around
