Just buy a USB hub!! Why buy motherboard just to get more USB ports?

For high workload devices ie HDD connect to motherboard, but for keyboard, mouse, joysticks etc use a hub. Work out how big a hub you need.

X870 is just B650E with USB4, that's why I mentioned USB4.

X870E is just X670E with USB4.

AMD X870E vs X870 vs X670E vs X670 vs B650E vs B650

AMD has announced their latest generation of motherboard chipsets. How do the X870 and X870E compare to the X670 and B650 chipsets?

They also tend to have:
- WIFI7 instead of 6/6E.
- Higher max memory support (though the old boards can have their BIOS updated for this too).

why?

Also convience, a desk mounted hub is far easier to use than reaching around the back of PC for every time you plug into back area.

Unless you have a USB 5.25" front bay which connects to internal USB headers

I have a four port USB3, cost about £15. That's enough where regular discconected items are used,in front of the monitor.

ok with spdif I use that myself but soundbars have hdmi, so if you use hdmi instead that solves issue, and GPU have multiple hdmi out

Dont work with gpu , already tried

You would have to ask us next month, reviews should be out by then.

Your 7700 is a perfectly good gaming CPU for almost any graphics card though.

Does your monitor have any usb ports?

I run my mouse, keyboard etc plugged into my monitor, then a single usb-c into my motherboard for example.

Sylar2k20 · 11 Oct 2024 at 13:29

For MB i order it MSI X870E CARBON WIFI

For cpu 9700x , 9900X or upcoming 9800X3D?

For gaming, there's barely any difference (a few %, on average) between the CPU you have and the 9700X/9900X.

The 9800X3D, we can't say yet.

In TPU's review of the 9700X, the gaming number was the same between the 7700 and 9700X, the 7700X was slightly higher. The Blender number was 2 degrees colder on the 9700X (59.1), compared to the 7700 (61.7).

Each to their own but you're really wasting money for no reason here.

If you don't have a 4090 and you've spent €700 on a x870/9700x for the sake of some USB ports and 2 degrees you are beyond helping.

Its the correct socket motherboard if that's what you mean but they are pre order so no one has used them yet.

Cutting edge can sometimes have issues on release and need firmware updates to fix bugs; you might be able to find reviews on youtube etc if they sent samples out but no one on here will have used them.

You might also want to change your RAM to something faster / XMP3 someone else might be able to advise.

Do they ship with a CPU cooler, otherwise thats something else to add to the shopping list?

£300 for a mobo plus £380 for a cpu because you want more USB ports and SPDIF does seem a bit steep if you are otherwise happy with your current setup.

A PCIE USB card and external sound card might be another option, or even an old fashoined USB drive bay if it will fit in your case; but I think you have the upgrade itch and just want something shiny which is fine if its what you want its your money at the end of the day.

If you do go with it maybe post some benches / a review as you will be one of the first on the new socket.
