Hi i am looking for high end board i dont like msi so please dont include them,
i want to have at least 4 or more memory slots, to be future proof maximum pci express version 5 to be future proof and ultra stable...
i will play games and work on it...
i like asus, gigabyte,
as rock.
i am currently divided between x870e vs x670e? I dont see much difference between them i dont care much about rgb or wifi i am using lan cable... some people told me that 870e is faster in terms of cpu and memory compared to 670e?
my budget is limited to 500-600euro max. why i need to buy also cooler, gpu and much more things .... i already have memory which is 64gb corsair for intel, it was better deal but i plan to use it with the motherboard on amd expo somehow?
 
The Asrock X870E Nova Wifi is highly regarded for having optimized lane usage. You can run three gen4 m.2 drives and one gen5x4 and one gen3 (which does cost you the bottom pcie slot)

It has 5gbe and a backplate and is usually around $400ish.

I like it.
 
i consider , x670e aorus master gigabyte, x870e aorus master gigabyte, and asus hero x870e ? which one to go , x670e is the cheapest others are pricey.

Gigabyte X670E Aorus Master is a nice board, and if it's it a way better price I'd go for that. I'd personally get an Asrock X870E Nova WiFi or X870E Taichi Lite if the price difference wasn't much more.

Edit: you don't need to worry about EXPO RAM or not. That DDR5 kit will work fine.
 
how about biostar x870e they are cheap are they any good high end and better value and price? i dont like much as rock, price is good for asrock and msi but some issues...

Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 64GB (2x32GB) 6400MHz xmp this is the memory i got.​

 
I chose the X870E Asus Crosshair Hero mostly due to looks. No regrets. Using three NVMe drives and still have full x16 on the primary PCIe slot. There's also a SAS port you can use to connect another NVMe. Too bad it doesn't support native SAS spinning disks, snagged a bunch of 12TB drives from my job's data center when they decommed an array. It's PCIe only. Was looking at the Asrock Taichi but the EATX format turned me off. Wouldn't fit/look right in the Montech king 95 case I'm using.

My buddy bought the Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite. Anything in the bottom NVMe slots cuts the primary PCIe slot down to x8. Not a huge performance penalty, but still. Sucks. Otherwise works well for him.
 
I used an ASRock X870E Nova for my 78003XD build. Sold it to my bro-in-law and did a 9800X3D build last weekend. I got a little spooked by some complaints about ASRock boards frying 9800/9950 CPUs, so went with an MSI X870E Edge TI. Both are excellent boards that cost about $350.
 
Is asrock taichi or taichi lite better than x870e nova or?
The Nova is considered the better "value" because it offers everything the Taichi/Taichi Lite at a lower price. I think the Taichi boards are E-ATX vs ATX for the Nova.

Do some searches on Biostar reputation and quality. Takeaway: mixed results, low end stuff.
