today's review is brought to you by coffee job of any type because I gotta be honest with you I'm I'm totally dragging but today and now without coffee there'd be no review so what that's it hold on let me get a drink coffee anyways hopefully it'll wake me up pull one more drink hold on now today we're gonna bring you a motherboard and that's perfect for those people in New York those guys those tough guys and I'm saying because we're gonna bring you the tough
gaming x5 70 plus Wi-Fi motherboard that's right x5 70 for me Zeus coming to market at 199 dollars so with that said though let's jump in let's check out the motherboard and let me get a drink of coffee and I'll see you in a second so first off for you diehards out there here is the box itself so we'll take a look at the front of the box right here now spin it around real quick take a look at the back of the box I think excite in there something I can't really talk about the boxes
who only cares it's the Box now this is motherboard I have to say for its price I think that it's a pretty decent motherboard as we go through it and see the features you guys will see it there are some strange things about this motherboard and we'll go through that as we go so starting off I see this right here so we're at the bat we see the nice Wi-Fi antenna this is actually a pretty nice intent all in all - it's not really you know anything cheap it's so let me get it out of here rip the
bag open hearings get it out of here for you guys and check it out but this is actually a pretty decent antenna yeah it's actually stuck in your it's got a point on it all right there we go I got to point out it's a it's pretty nice you know comes with the little bottom stand you can make it balanced and sit somewhere so that's pretty nice it'll sit right on top your PC so you can connect anywhere up that's pretty nice I like that exist does a good job on that then we have the motherboard and there you have all the features alright we're done with that no I'm just
kidding we'll get back to the motherboard in a second and we got this little box right here this little cardboard little thingy here go ahead and take that out we'll just go ahead and throw that at the cameraman no he's shaking his head alright so maybe we'll skip that part today no violence peace out my brothers and sisters have checked no violence here in TECA tomorrow today so we get the manual you guys all know what this is tells you all the good fun facts about
the motherboard so there's that we get some cool case bad stickers these are pretty nice-looking not bad at all now this is weird though now there's only ah okay there are two SATA cables actually in here 2 2 2 2 so that's you know enough for a couple of drives beat them you know pleasure probably might be using em too and you may not need that many more than that but a lot of the boards come with more so there's that get the rear i/o plate please make sure that you put this in your case before you put your motherboard and I don't know why people are still
doing this but it just cracks me up and they did it they're like hey man what happened it's like I'm yeah there's a reason they put that in there it's not just for good looks you get a little CD rare um this has a Zeus's greatest hits on it lots of good songs on here like we rock and roll our video card is better than your card no it's gonna have like all of the different software like the AI suite there's gonna be all kinds of different software and stuff beyond drivers like you'll
have overclocking stuff stuff for your audio there'll be all kinds of custom software stuff that goes along with this including the aura lighting and all that type of stuff so a lot of that stuff will be right here on the CD now we've got a coupon for 20% off all cable mod cables so with this little coupon right here you can get 20% off which is pretty nice I'm not gonna show you the back but guess what the coupon code is and some sneaky person out there would steal it and
use that 20% and you know what maybe you don't want to use it maybe alright so we also got a certificate of reliability you know what if only when I got a girlfriend make game with one of these cuz I've like every chick that I was going out with camera and they'd be like right on I know Jake's gonna be cool but no you date and then they become a nightmare because I'm talking about for anyone right they're mean no offense whatsoever maybe yes men should come with one of these as well I should get one for myself that could be a real chick pleaser all right
there we go sit that down last but not least we have got the little screws that put on the m2 header so we got that right there so that's all of the stuff that actually comes inside of the box some of your stuff so let me get it all out of the way and we can move on and move away from this and talk about the motherboard itself which is what I'm sure most people are here for pardon me now let's talk about the board now this particular board remember I said it's board so it's a very entry level board into the new AM platform AMD's platform excuse me
now the motherboard itself is actually a pretty nice motherboard it's kind of sparse with everything that's going on with it but it's also pretty easily laid out as well the CPU this you can use you can use all the third generation or second generation rise in CPUs but depending on which CPU you're actually using will have some effects on some of the other features on the motherboard and as we go around the motherboard you'll see what we're talking about so
plenty of space around the CPU I honestly wish that all of these capacitors though if there was a way to push them over a little bit more and they could be covered by the shroud I think that would have been a little bit cooler but as it's okay I think could have been a little bit better now as far as power connectors go on the top you're gonna see an 8 a 4 pin and then obviously your 24-pin power is going to be over you know next to the memory where it's usually always at now at the top of the board there's gonna be two CPU fans then right next that you're going to see
the first of the or lighting connections now this is for any kind of strip lighting or lighting that you want to use and as we go around you're gonna see a little nother white connector now this white connector is actually an addressable RGB so you can use this for all kinds of different things strip lights or whatever and the ORA ones they're actually more I think for using the case lights there's a few around the motherboard now as far as the memory goes if you're using a second generation rise in CPU 2666 is the standard clock and 3600 is the highest you can go on overclocking but if using a third generation CPU you can go all the way up to forty four
hundred on the overclock standard memory is still 2666 though just like if using a second generation so that's that's pretty much how things go as far as the memory goes now right down here you're gonna see two more fan connectors now one of these fan connectors is actually going to be on at all times actually one thing I didn't say is all the fan connectors on here you know they do the Q connect so that you can control all the fans through their app this particular one though for the pump it's going to stay on all the time because obviously the
pump some people may you know think of that sucks that you can adjust it to make it quieter but there's also a danger there because if you turn on your pump and you turn it to low it's a chance you could overheat your CPU or your video card or whatever you're doing and you can blow it up you know and the next step we also see one more chasse C's fan and then there's a connector right here in the middle this connection is part of the trusted platform module and has to do with different securities on your motherboard I'm not really sure how many people
are actually going to use that particular connection because it's use the store keys passwords and stuff like that how many people are actually going to use it though honestly I really don't know now there's also 2 m2 slots on this particular motherboard and like I said depending on which CPU depends on how they perform if you have the third generation rise in CPU then both of them are going to be running at PCIe 4.0 at the 4x mode if you're running however the second generation then they're going to be 3x at a 4x mode so not much probably a bit different
than speed but obviously there's going to be something there or you know they wouldn't have it now once again we see a fan down here you know cooling connections on the motherboard a lot of people like make fun of that's under like why are we doing this at all you know I don't know it looks cool how much it really does for the motherboard you only know that when you get a No clocking if it does something and locks up if you don't have it going so next up we have the different PCI slots now once again it depends on which CPU using this particular slot will be
PCIe 4.0 if you're using a risin third generation CPU and this will be pcie 3.0 all the others will PEEP will be PCIe these will be the PCI PCI a 4.0 1 X slots there's a few of those as well now if you have a second generation CPU then this becomes PCIe 16x and this becomes PCIe and then it only becomes 4x so there the differences between those things another thing that you guys might find strange about these PCI ports is that they do support crossfire X but check this out they do not support SLI at all I don't know if this is just the kick and video in the nuts or if it's
just something weird where AMD saying hey we're only gonna really give the best support to our GPUs but there you have it if you want to use two cards they're gonna have to be 2 AMD cards now the audio on here is real tech it's the S 1200 a it's 8 channel audio has very nice though NIT chicon connectors right here excuse me to cheat on you check on capacitors trying to remember everything in my head and the audio is well segregated away from the rest of the motherboard now if you don't know what that means the signal-to-noise ratio there's a lot of
noise sometimes from electronic interference and when you segregate the audio away from the rest of the components it makes sure that your audio has a much clearer and cleaner snout you don't get that same audio interference now as far as SATA connections go there are a total of 8 6 gigabit SATA connections on this motherboard now we see 4 over here these are an angle these are very easy for clean up your case wires and everything as it's mounted inside of your case you can wrap those around doing great cable management but we also see 4 more also
located down here at the bottom of the motherboard now also down at the motherboard there are a couple connections you have a connection right here this is working up a wire for doing your reset and all that stuff but then you have all of your case connections that are all located right here and then we see it the last of the or lighting connections right here now beyond that there are a few more comp orts there is one more fan put one more fan port here another fan
port there there's a comm port there and that's pretty much everything that has to do with the motherboard itself other than the i/o so let's jump around to the to the rear i/o now for those people out there who want to use an AP on this motherboard which means it's gonna come you know with the onboard graphics on it you'll be able to use the connections on this motherboard because they actually have a display port and an HDMI connection so no matter what kind of connection you have there's there's one here now on another board we looked at it actually had
a DVI connector and that's kind of cool I don't really know useful it is but it's still there so this particular motherboard actually has six USB 3.0 connections it has real tech standard land we have Intel Wireless LAN you also get bluetooth 5.0 connectivity so that's cool so that means you could actually stream from your phone onto your motherboard listen to your music and do stuff like that if you so choose I think that's actually something that's kind of cool you guys can see all the audio connections are right here there's also a USB type-c connection let's see here
USB type-c right here and you get a standard little ps2 port so if you have an old keyboard or mouse and you really love using it you can use that with this motherboard so that's pretty much the motherboard like I said there are a lot of other features as far as the software goes they have their tough stuff that's in there they have their AI suite all there or lighting stuff all that stuff comes with a Zeus there overclocking tools and stuff like that are also pretty decent and
like I said this particular motherboard so you do get quite a lot of features plus you get the name a Zeus which you know they have a lot of good support and all that stuff so like usual we will have a link down below where you guys can check this motherboard out maybe purchase one for yourself I'm still waiting for my cpu I don't know what that goes up I mean waiting and waiting wait right even buy one but now they're like on eBay people are trying to
extort you for a hundred bucks so I'm waiting to what I can get my CPU and bring you all the reviews but I have the board's we're checking them out .
Asus they are stripped from any non essentials which would you know make it more prone to failure at a very simple and focused layout and designed to do one thing and one thing only game game game this is meant to be the last ending component in your computer it should outlive anything else hence the 5 years warranty the only problem I have with it is that it's either a very good motherboard or really really bad one my only negative review of an asus
motherboard was a tough one so yeah lots of expectations and interrogations on this one today we're reviewing its x5 70 version the tough gaming x5 70 plus that's not goofy as in any other x5 70 powered motherboard you have to kind of PCI mode on it with a risin 2000 series CPU you would be running as a classic pcie 3.0 standard with a risin 3000 series you will effectively unlock the PCIe 4.0 standard doubling the available bandwidth of your motherboard and I will be noting it on your screen during the review process for your greatest comfort starting with
the obvious art of X 570 gaming plus comes with a six layers ATX PCB it has an AM 4 socket which can boost support rise in 2000 and risin 3000 series that last one features up to 16 physical core so unsurprisingly this is reflected in our X 572 vrm which is nothing like I've seen so far on any tough motherboard weather 12 plus 250 ms faces configuration and because this is a tough motherboard muff set and capacitors are military graded and that that's somewhat
of it's not only a marketing stunt it's actually a real grade and that means that they have a 5000 hours life span which is about two and a half more what we have on general motherboards but all in for all this is more amps that you'll ever need to overclock any kind of processors even for 16 physical core now our faces are cooled by rather thick and dense hit things and frankly talking since we have so many faces this is a lot of surface to dissipate up to 105 watts of heat so you should never never ever ever worry about thermals rattling even in an overclocking
configuration now our ram wise our board can support up to 128 gigabytes of ddr4 ram overclockable who is horizon 2000 series up to 3.6 gigahertz always a Rison 3000 series up to four point four gigahertz that is almost 1,000 megahertz more than its predecessor the top gaming x47 c+ and this is one of those places where using arisin 3000 CPU processor really makes a world of difference in terms of performances now staying in the memory this board
can support up to two and dot to solicit drive sticks with the risin 2000 series they can swap up to 32 gigabit per second and with a risin 3000 up to an incredible 64 gigabit per second yet another place where having horizon 3000 CPU and therefore unlocking PCIe 4 will make a well of difference into your day-to-day gaming performance is what have you but with this kind of speeds obviously you are facing certain overheating and thermal throttling that is why we have a rather large and heavy thermal padded heat shield placed right here and indeed if you are
planning to boot from an end to solid-state drives this is exactly where I would place it now a little word on our chipset so X 570 chipset uses twice more wattage than our previous AMD chip sets meaning 11 what and that is a lot of heat and it is with that surprised to see that manufacturers have decided to add a blower to our chipset to keep it cool at any moment but fear not even at full speed it is barely detectable sound wise especially once you place it behind
your tempered glass now staying in the storage section our board can support up to 8 3.0 SATA plugs which have been aging with us on all our board for the past century and frankly talking and I'm talking to all manufacturers out there I am tired of SATA 3.0 I know that SATA 4.0 has been scrapped off and we're not gonna see much of that but I would love to see another standard something will give us more than 6 gigabit per second export wise we have 5 PCIe slots 3 single slots single speed and 16 slots with different speeds now note that coupled with
Rison 2000 series those slots will have the bandwidth of a PCH 3 point so one gigabyte per second for a lane if you couple it with Verizon 3000 series it becomes PCIe 4.0 standard hence 2 gigabyte per second per Lane and that's important because obviously the x5 70 motherboards are the very first wants to feature piece a 4.0 but this is not one instance where you will see a lot of performance increase because our video cards are still two bottleneck and surpass the available bandwidth of the PC a third generation so you were not going to see any gaming
performance change in this particular instance is great future proofing but for today it's not gonna add you a lot of gaming performance game going back to the board note that only the first one from the CPU can deliver up to 16 line speeds making it the unique candidate for your GPU for optimal performances enhance the metallic reinforcements our second 16 PCIe slot can run up to four line speed but here I will allow myself a little critic since this is a PCIe 4.0
motherboard and coupled again with Verizon 3000 we have enough bandwidth to optimally run a second video card in crossfire and another Radeon video card and in that in that optic I would have loved to see a second metallic reinforcement because even though this board was designed at a single GPU with a piece a 4.0 it in effect becomes a duel or multi-gpu motherboard so something that manufacturers should keep in mind for future release something I'd like to see change I why starting from the left we have a mouse keyboard ps/2
connector for 3.2 first-generation us be able to transfer up to five gigabit per second 3 3.2 second generation us be able to transfer that up to 10 gigabit per second including a Type C and here another critic I have noticed that they painted it in blue and place it right under the 3.2 first generation the five gigabit plugs which is a bit confusing to me but fine carrying on we have to display outputs a surge protector Gigabit LAN and finally our eight channel audio which is one of the very few to be able to properly convey a clear mic recording thanks to its
tough gaming audio cover which did an awesome job at keeping any kind of static interference away from my recording I think this is the only board who does that well despite the fact that it's one of the cheapest board ahem reviewing so big kudos to Asus for this and logically moving to our port front connectors who have two second-generation USB front panel connectors as well as a single 3.2 first-generation front panel connector and an older small critic here I would have loved to see a 3.2 second-generation type-c front panel connector here I know it's not one
of those essentials but given the bandwidth ability of the X 570 chipset and the fact that we have only one 3.2 first generation front panel connector we used to have two in the previous generation I would have loved to see it anyways now cooling why is the top gaming x5 70-plus manages to have a very respectable 6 pwm fans one of which will support an all-in-one water pump but nothing more and again this is not an enthusiast board this is the first time builder so not a board which will easily support a custom water cooling configuration so no dedicated
water pump this is not surprising and I wouldn't want to see it there anyways troubleshooting wise we do have an easy debugger to guide us through a failed boot sequence which is always a good idea and I'm happy to see it especially knowing that it's not always available on tough motherboards but given as more or the beefier vrm and beef your processors he might have it is indeed a crucial and an important feature to have and talking of essential what gamer could ever survive with its daily ration of RGB ominous I ask you starting with one nested
addressable RGB right onto the PCB and in addition three more RGB connectors to here and one addressable connector right there now that's two more RGB connectors than available on the previous stuff x4 70 gaming + sourcing stuff gaming x4 70 you get what I mean obviously if you ever find yourself lost in a dark forest well I do hope that you had your tough motherboard with you to light you way out now in conclusion well first let me note what a jump what an improvement the tough gaming x5 70 plus is in contrast of its previous model or iteration the tough gaming x4 70 plus not in terms of name I'm not a fan of the name but in terms of
motherboard there is a lot to talk about first VR my eyes were jumping from 6 to 14 faces we're going from 64 gigabyte 128 gigabyte of ddr4 Ram we have gained an easy Dibakar we have more RGB connectors and obviously with the x5 70 comes a PCI 4.0 which will give us higher clocks on the RAM and and faster reads on our MDOT - solid-state drive but the top gaming x5 and if you follow me you know I'm not a tough fan but coupled with x5 70
chipset it's surprisingly good gaming board it's a very balanced one which prioritize a simpler layout and an extremely reliable one all under the mark I do have a couple of critics I would have loved to see the second metallic reinforcement on the second PCI a 16 slot I would have loved to see a type-c front panel connector but those are almost details in front of the evolution aces as managed to do from the x4 70 tough to the x5 70 tough so I'll put it this way if you're a first-time builder or a budget gamer shame on you for not buying this board not all tough combat good trust me .
the NZXT h5 10 elite review the the 600 X overclocking review and soon to be the ran review that I'm going to review soon which is DX PG so let's run some of the basic specs before I give my opinion when it comes to the CPU support it supports both second and generation processors it can do some overclocking which I'll explain a little bit now when it comes for the realms of power here it can support up to 128 gigs in capacity with speeds up to four thousand
four hundred megahertz on a generation Rison ECC Ram is also supported now when it comes to storage there are several options first of all is the two PCI a 4x4 nvme or MDOT two lanes right here and there's a total of eight SATA ports so this Batra here is aimed towards content creation and content management as well now when it comes to power delivery he uses a chocolate to vrm setup and is powered by a 8 and 14 on the top on the motherboard right here
so this motherboard is meant for overclocking in fact we already 3600 X on for clocking video previously now when it comes to PCIe support there's total of two lanes right here the users PCI for x16 and two lanes that uses PCI for x1 only the first PCIe slot right here has this Omega right here meant to hold your GPU to prevent some sagging in fact when it comes to terminal cut and active cooling there's three of them there's an active cooling on the x5 70
chipset right here there's also cooling on the V RMS or here true it's thick passive heat sinks right here there's also a single em - tamuka on the bottom right here I wish they included another one on top that would be nice looking when it comes to fan heaters there's a total six of them two of them is located on the top right two of them is located below the CPU around the left side and two of them is located directly below the motherboard I wish they include a total of eight fan headers that will give us some flexibility where two of them can be located somewhere
on the right middle side where you can actually cable manage easily so some of my PC bills I require to use some extension cables to actually do some cable management easily I wish it was included the extra two for convenience sake when it comes to i/o certainly the i/o shoe is not pre installed I wish it was it has a display port HDMI port rj45 LAN port the ps2 port there's a total of four USB 3.2 gen one type a parts there's a total of three USB 3.1 gen2 two of which are type-a and one of which is type see the Wi-Fi header and there's a total of six audio ports right
here now when it comes to LED support there's a total of three hitters two of which at a typical child volts type which is located on the top right and the bottom right right here now when it comes to the 5 volts addressable LED 1 or RGB is actually located on the top right right here now I wish the include that maybe one or two more where it's positioned below maybe the a i/o palm right here and one more on the motherboard below somewhere right here because most products now are leading towards the 5 volt a RGB type of heater rather than the typical 4 pin
traveled here right here in fact most of the arrows in the market right now are using 5 volt base RGB when comparing with one generation order the x4 70 bought the differences between the two is not so significant just minut however most of the functions like PCI 4 is not so stable or lockout based on BIOS for this 2 generation processor so if you are doing a lot of work related to PCI 4 especially high rate and high right content creation 4k / rs-422 like that definitely you
want to go with the latest and the best so using this motherboard right here is enjoyable especially for PCB oh I can go near mute of full blackout bill I wish all the orange accent here was gray or black they would look fully amazing 16 now aside from that overclocking on this boat right here is enjoyable it's very flexible and easy especially you can check on my 3600 ex rising overclocking and under vaulting video previously that just uploaded but I use this
motherboard for a particular reason for content creation we are used up to six SATA ports right here to do a lot of backup in archival form I done projects that I have done and completed aside from that I actually use up to two SATA ports for encoding reasons on particular project where I have one project on one SSD and media encoder were encoded to a proxy or a different format that's easy to edit in Adobe Premiere itself so would I recommend this board here
definitely for the price is much more affordable compared to the alternative series and it's good for a starter board for overclocking as well as content creation .

today's review is brought to you by coffee job of any type because I gotta be honest with you I'm I'm totally dragging but today and now without coffee there'd be no review so what that's it hold on let me get a drink coffee anyways hopefully it'll wake me up pull one more drink hold on now today we're gonna bring you a motherboard and that's perfect for those people in New York those guys those tough guys and I'm saying because we're gonna bring you the tough
gaming x5 70 plus Wi-Fi motherboard that's right x5 70 for me Zeus coming to market at 199 dollars so with that said though let's jump in let's check out the motherboard and let me get a drink of coffee and I'll see you in a second so first off for you diehards out there here is the box itself so we'll take a look at the front of the box right here now spin it around real quick take a look at the back of the box I think excite in there something I can't really talk about the boxes
who only cares it's the Box now this is motherboard I have to say for its price I think that it's a pretty decent motherboard as we go through it and see the features you guys will see it there are some strange things about this motherboard and we'll go through that as we go so starting off I see this right here so we're at the bat we see the nice Wi-Fi antenna this is actually a pretty nice intent all in all - it's not really you know anything cheap it's so let me get it out of here rip the
bag open hearings get it out of here for you guys and check it out but this is actually a pretty decent antenna yeah it's actually stuck in your it's got a point on it all right there we go I got to point out it's a it's pretty nice you know comes with the little bottom stand you can make it balanced and sit somewhere so that's pretty nice it'll sit right on top your PC so you can connect anywhere up that's pretty nice I like that exist does a good job on that then we have the motherboard and there you have all the features alright we're done with that no I'm just
kidding we'll get back to the motherboard in a second and we got this little box right here this little cardboard little thingy here go ahead and take that out we'll just go ahead and throw that at the cameraman no he's shaking his head alright so maybe we'll skip that part today no violence peace out my brothers and sisters have checked no violence here in TECA tomorrow today so we get the manual you guys all know what this is tells you all the good fun facts about
the motherboard so there's that we get some cool case bad stickers these are pretty nice-looking not bad at all now this is weird though now there's only ah okay there are two SATA cables actually in here 2 2 2 2 so that's you know enough for a couple of drives beat them you know pleasure probably might be using em too and you may not need that many more than that but a lot of the boards come with more so there's that get the rear i/o plate please make sure that you put this in your case before you put your motherboard and I don't know why people are still
doing this but it just cracks me up and they did it they're like hey man what happened it's like I'm yeah there's a reason they put that in there it's not just for good looks you get a little CD rare um this has a Zeus's greatest hits on it lots of good songs on here like we rock and roll our video card is better than your card no it's gonna have like all of the different software like the AI suite there's gonna be all kinds of different software and stuff beyond drivers like you'll
have overclocking stuff stuff for your audio there'll be all kinds of custom software stuff that goes along with this including the aura lighting and all that type of stuff so a lot of that stuff will be right here on the CD now we've got a coupon for 20% off all cable mod cables so with this little coupon right here you can get 20% off which is pretty nice I'm not gonna show you the back but guess what the coupon code is and some sneaky person out there would steal it and
use that 20% and you know what maybe you don't want to use it maybe alright so we also got a certificate of reliability you know what if only when I got a girlfriend make game with one of these cuz I've like every chick that I was going out with camera and they'd be like right on I know Jake's gonna be cool but no you date and then they become a nightmare because I'm talking about for anyone right they're mean no offense whatsoever maybe yes men should come with one of these as well I should get one for myself that could be a real chick pleaser all right
there we go sit that down last but not least we have got the little screws that put on the m2 header so we got that right there so that's all of the stuff that actually comes inside of the box some of your stuff so let me get it all out of the way and we can move on and move away from this and talk about the motherboard itself which is what I'm sure most people are here for pardon me now let's talk about the board now this particular board remember I said it's board so it's a very entry level board into the new AM platform AMD's platform excuse me
now the motherboard itself is actually a pretty nice motherboard it's kind of sparse with everything that's going on with it but it's also pretty easily laid out as well the CPU this you can use you can use all the third generation or second generation rise in CPUs but depending on which CPU you're actually using will have some effects on some of the other features on the motherboard and as we go around the motherboard you'll see what we're talking about so
plenty of space around the CPU I honestly wish that all of these capacitors though if there was a way to push them over a little bit more and they could be covered by the shroud I think that would have been a little bit cooler but as it's okay I think could have been a little bit better now as far as power connectors go on the top you're gonna see an 8 a 4 pin and then obviously your 24-pin power is going to be over you know next to the memory where it's usually always at now at the top of the board there's gonna be two CPU fans then right next that you're going to see
the first of the or lighting connections now this is for any kind of strip lighting or lighting that you want to use and as we go around you're gonna see a little nother white connector now this white connector is actually an addressable RGB so you can use this for all kinds of different things strip lights or whatever and the ORA ones they're actually more I think for using the case lights there's a few around the motherboard now as far as the memory goes if you're using a second generation rise in CPU 2666 is the standard clock and 3600 is the highest you can go on overclocking but if using a third generation CPU you can go all the way up to forty four
hundred on the overclock standard memory is still 2666 though just like if using a second generation so that's that's pretty much how things go as far as the memory goes now right down here you're gonna see two more fan connectors now one of these fan connectors is actually going to be on at all times actually one thing I didn't say is all the fan connectors on here you know they do the Q connect so that you can control all the fans through their app this particular one though for the pump it's going to stay on all the time because obviously the
pump some people may you know think of that sucks that you can adjust it to make it quieter but there's also a danger there because if you turn on your pump and you turn it to low it's a chance you could overheat your CPU or your video card or whatever you're doing and you can blow it up you know and the next step we also see one more chasse C's fan and then there's a connector right here in the middle this connection is part of the trusted platform module and has to do with different securities on your motherboard I'm not really sure how many people
are actually going to use that particular connection because it's use the store keys passwords and stuff like that how many people are actually going to use it though honestly I really don't know now there's also 2 m2 slots on this particular motherboard and like I said depending on which CPU depends on how they perform if you have the third generation rise in CPU then both of them are going to be running at PCIe 4.0 at the 4x mode if you're running however the second generation then they're going to be 3x at a 4x mode so not much probably a bit different
than speed but obviously there's going to be something there or you know they wouldn't have it now once again we see a fan down here you know cooling connections on the motherboard a lot of people like make fun of that's under like why are we doing this at all you know I don't know it looks cool how much it really does for the motherboard you only know that when you get a No clocking if it does something and locks up if you don't have it going so next up we have the different PCI slots now once again it depends on which CPU using this particular slot will be
PCIe 4.0 if you're using a risin third generation CPU and this will be pcie 3.0 all the others will PEEP will be PCIe these will be the PCI PCI a 4.0 1 X slots there's a few of those as well now if you have a second generation CPU then this becomes PCIe 16x and this becomes PCIe and then it only becomes 4x so there the differences between those things another thing that you guys might find strange about these PCI ports is that they do support crossfire X but check this out they do not support SLI at all I don't know if this is just the kick and video in the nuts or if it's
just something weird where AMD saying hey we're only gonna really give the best support to our GPUs but there you have it if you want to use two cards they're gonna have to be 2 AMD cards now the audio on here is real tech it's the S 1200 a it's 8 channel audio has very nice though NIT chicon connectors right here excuse me to cheat on you check on capacitors trying to remember everything in my head and the audio is well segregated away from the rest of the motherboard now if you don't know what that means the signal-to-noise ratio there's a lot of
noise sometimes from electronic interference and when you segregate the audio away from the rest of the components it makes sure that your audio has a much clearer and cleaner snout you don't get that same audio interference now as far as SATA connections go there are a total of 8 6 gigabit SATA connections on this motherboard now we see 4 over here these are an angle these are very easy for clean up your case wires and everything as it's mounted inside of your case you can wrap those around doing great cable management but we also see 4 more also
located down here at the bottom of the motherboard now also down at the motherboard there are a couple connections you have a connection right here this is working up a wire for doing your reset and all that stuff but then you have all of your case connections that are all located right here and then we see it the last of the or lighting connections right here now beyond that there are a few more comp orts there is one more fan put one more fan port here another fan
port there there's a comm port there and that's pretty much everything that has to do with the motherboard itself other than the i/o so let's jump around to the to the rear i/o now for those people out there who want to use an AP on this motherboard which means it's gonna come you know with the onboard graphics on it you'll be able to use the connections on this motherboard because they actually have a display port and an HDMI connection so no matter what kind of connection you have there's there's one here now on another board we looked at it actually had
a DVI connector and that's kind of cool I don't really know useful it is but it's still there so this particular motherboard actually has six USB 3.0 connections it has real tech standard land we have Intel Wireless LAN you also get bluetooth 5.0 connectivity so that's cool so that means you could actually stream from your phone onto your motherboard listen to your music and do stuff like that if you so choose I think that's actually something that's kind of cool you guys can see all the audio connections are right here there's also a USB type-c connection let's see here
USB type-c right here and you get a standard little ps2 port so if you have an old keyboard or mouse and you really love using it you can use that with this motherboard so that's pretty much the motherboard like I said there are a lot of other features as far as the software goes they have their tough stuff that's in there they have their AI suite all there or lighting stuff all that stuff comes with a Zeus there overclocking tools and stuff like that are also pretty decent and
like I said this particular motherboard so you do get quite a lot of features plus you get the name a Zeus which you know they have a lot of good support and all that stuff so like usual we will have a link down below where you guys can check this motherboard out maybe purchase one for yourself I'm still waiting for my cpu I don't know what that goes up I mean waiting and waiting wait right even buy one but now they're like on eBay people are trying to
extort you for a hundred bucks so I'm waiting to what I can get my CPU and bring you all the reviews but I have the board's we're checking them out .
Asus they are stripped from any non essentials which would you know make it more prone to failure at a very simple and focused layout and designed to do one thing and one thing only game game game this is meant to be the last ending component in your computer it should outlive anything else hence the 5 years warranty the only problem I have with it is that it's either a very good motherboard or really really bad one my only negative review of an asus
motherboard was a tough one so yeah lots of expectations and interrogations on this one today we're reviewing its x5 70 version the tough gaming x5 70 plus that's not goofy as in any other x5 70 powered motherboard you have to kind of PCI mode on it with a risin 2000 series CPU you would be running as a classic pcie 3.0 standard with a risin 3000 series you will effectively unlock the PCIe 4.0 standard doubling the available bandwidth of your motherboard and I will be noting it on your screen during the review process for your greatest comfort starting with
the obvious art of X 570 gaming plus comes with a six layers ATX PCB it has an AM 4 socket which can boost support rise in 2000 and risin 3000 series that last one features up to 16 physical core so unsurprisingly this is reflected in our X 572 vrm which is nothing like I've seen so far on any tough motherboard weather 12 plus 250 ms faces configuration and because this is a tough motherboard muff set and capacitors are military graded and that that's somewhat
of it's not only a marketing stunt it's actually a real grade and that means that they have a 5000 hours life span which is about two and a half more what we have on general motherboards but all in for all this is more amps that you'll ever need to overclock any kind of processors even for 16 physical core now our faces are cooled by rather thick and dense hit things and frankly talking since we have so many faces this is a lot of surface to dissipate up to 105 watts of heat so you should never never ever ever worry about thermals rattling even in an overclocking
configuration now our ram wise our board can support up to 128 gigabytes of ddr4 ram overclockable who is horizon 2000 series up to 3.6 gigahertz always a Rison 3000 series up to four point four gigahertz that is almost 1,000 megahertz more than its predecessor the top gaming x47 c+ and this is one of those places where using arisin 3000 CPU processor really makes a world of difference in terms of performances now staying in the memory this board
can support up to two and dot to solicit drive sticks with the risin 2000 series they can swap up to 32 gigabit per second and with a risin 3000 up to an incredible 64 gigabit per second yet another place where having horizon 3000 CPU and therefore unlocking PCIe 4 will make a well of difference into your day-to-day gaming performance is what have you but with this kind of speeds obviously you are facing certain overheating and thermal throttling that is why we have a rather large and heavy thermal padded heat shield placed right here and indeed if you are
planning to boot from an end to solid-state drives this is exactly where I would place it now a little word on our chipset so X 570 chipset uses twice more wattage than our previous AMD chip sets meaning 11 what and that is a lot of heat and it is with that surprised to see that manufacturers have decided to add a blower to our chipset to keep it cool at any moment but fear not even at full speed it is barely detectable sound wise especially once you place it behind
your tempered glass now staying in the storage section our board can support up to 8 3.0 SATA plugs which have been aging with us on all our board for the past century and frankly talking and I'm talking to all manufacturers out there I am tired of SATA 3.0 I know that SATA 4.0 has been scrapped off and we're not gonna see much of that but I would love to see another standard something will give us more than 6 gigabit per second export wise we have 5 PCIe slots 3 single slots single speed and 16 slots with different speeds now note that coupled with
Rison 2000 series those slots will have the bandwidth of a PCH 3 point so one gigabyte per second for a lane if you couple it with Verizon 3000 series it becomes PCIe 4.0 standard hence 2 gigabyte per second per Lane and that's important because obviously the x5 70 motherboards are the very first wants to feature piece a 4.0 but this is not one instance where you will see a lot of performance increase because our video cards are still two bottleneck and surpass the available bandwidth of the PC a third generation so you were not going to see any gaming
performance change in this particular instance is great future proofing but for today it's not gonna add you a lot of gaming performance game going back to the board note that only the first one from the CPU can deliver up to 16 line speeds making it the unique candidate for your GPU for optimal performances enhance the metallic reinforcements our second 16 PCIe slot can run up to four line speed but here I will allow myself a little critic since this is a PCIe 4.0
motherboard and coupled again with Verizon 3000 we have enough bandwidth to optimally run a second video card in crossfire and another Radeon video card and in that in that optic I would have loved to see a second metallic reinforcement because even though this board was designed at a single GPU with a piece a 4.0 it in effect becomes a duel or multi-gpu motherboard so something that manufacturers should keep in mind for future release something I'd like to see change I why starting from the left we have a mouse keyboard ps/2
connector for 3.2 first-generation us be able to transfer up to five gigabit per second 3 3.2 second generation us be able to transfer that up to 10 gigabit per second including a Type C and here another critic I have noticed that they painted it in blue and place it right under the 3.2 first generation the five gigabit plugs which is a bit confusing to me but fine carrying on we have to display outputs a surge protector Gigabit LAN and finally our eight channel audio which is one of the very few to be able to properly convey a clear mic recording thanks to its
tough gaming audio cover which did an awesome job at keeping any kind of static interference away from my recording I think this is the only board who does that well despite the fact that it's one of the cheapest board ahem reviewing so big kudos to Asus for this and logically moving to our port front connectors who have two second-generation USB front panel connectors as well as a single 3.2 first-generation front panel connector and an older small critic here I would have loved to see a 3.2 second-generation type-c front panel connector here I know it's not one
of those essentials but given the bandwidth ability of the X 570 chipset and the fact that we have only one 3.2 first generation front panel connector we used to have two in the previous generation I would have loved to see it anyways now cooling why is the top gaming x5 70-plus manages to have a very respectable 6 pwm fans one of which will support an all-in-one water pump but nothing more and again this is not an enthusiast board this is the first time builder so not a board which will easily support a custom water cooling configuration so no dedicated
water pump this is not surprising and I wouldn't want to see it there anyways troubleshooting wise we do have an easy debugger to guide us through a failed boot sequence which is always a good idea and I'm happy to see it especially knowing that it's not always available on tough motherboards but given as more or the beefier vrm and beef your processors he might have it is indeed a crucial and an important feature to have and talking of essential what gamer could ever survive with its daily ration of RGB ominous I ask you starting with one nested
addressable RGB right onto the PCB and in addition three more RGB connectors to here and one addressable connector right there now that's two more RGB connectors than available on the previous stuff x4 70 gaming + sourcing stuff gaming x4 70 you get what I mean obviously if you ever find yourself lost in a dark forest well I do hope that you had your tough motherboard with you to light you way out now in conclusion well first let me note what a jump what an improvement the tough gaming x5 70 plus is in contrast of its previous model or iteration the tough gaming x4 70 plus not in terms of name I'm not a fan of the name but in terms of
motherboard there is a lot to talk about first VR my eyes were jumping from 6 to 14 faces we're going from 64 gigabyte 128 gigabyte of ddr4 Ram we have gained an easy Dibakar we have more RGB connectors and obviously with the x5 70 comes a PCI 4.0 which will give us higher clocks on the RAM and and faster reads on our MDOT - solid-state drive but the top gaming x5 and if you follow me you know I'm not a tough fan but coupled with x5 70
chipset it's surprisingly good gaming board it's a very balanced one which prioritize a simpler layout and an extremely reliable one all under the mark I do have a couple of critics I would have loved to see the second metallic reinforcement on the second PCI a 16 slot I would have loved to see a type-c front panel connector but those are almost details in front of the evolution aces as managed to do from the x4 70 tough to the x5 70 tough so I'll put it this way if you're a first-time builder or a budget gamer shame on you for not buying this board not all tough combat good trust me .
ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) ATX Motherboard review
the NZXT h5 10 elite review the the 600 X overclocking review and soon to be the ran review that I'm going to review soon which is DX PG so let's run some of the basic specs before I give my opinion when it comes to the CPU support it supports both second and generation processors it can do some overclocking which I'll explain a little bit now when it comes for the realms of power here it can support up to 128 gigs in capacity with speeds up to four thousand
four hundred megahertz on a generation Rison ECC Ram is also supported now when it comes to storage there are several options first of all is the two PCI a 4x4 nvme or MDOT two lanes right here and there's a total of eight SATA ports so this Batra here is aimed towards content creation and content management as well now when it comes to power delivery he uses a chocolate to vrm setup and is powered by a 8 and 14 on the top on the motherboard right here
so this motherboard is meant for overclocking in fact we already 3600 X on for clocking video previously now when it comes to PCIe support there's total of two lanes right here the users PCI for x16 and two lanes that uses PCI for x1 only the first PCIe slot right here has this Omega right here meant to hold your GPU to prevent some sagging in fact when it comes to terminal cut and active cooling there's three of them there's an active cooling on the x5 70
chipset right here there's also cooling on the V RMS or here true it's thick passive heat sinks right here there's also a single em - tamuka on the bottom right here I wish they included another one on top that would be nice looking when it comes to fan heaters there's a total six of them two of them is located on the top right two of them is located below the CPU around the left side and two of them is located directly below the motherboard I wish they include a total of eight fan headers that will give us some flexibility where two of them can be located somewhere
on the right middle side where you can actually cable manage easily so some of my PC bills I require to use some extension cables to actually do some cable management easily I wish it was included the extra two for convenience sake when it comes to i/o certainly the i/o shoe is not pre installed I wish it was it has a display port HDMI port rj45 LAN port the ps2 port there's a total of four USB 3.2 gen one type a parts there's a total of three USB 3.1 gen2 two of which are type-a and one of which is type see the Wi-Fi header and there's a total of six audio ports right
here now when it comes to LED support there's a total of three hitters two of which at a typical child volts type which is located on the top right and the bottom right right here now when it comes to the 5 volts addressable LED 1 or RGB is actually located on the top right right here now I wish the include that maybe one or two more where it's positioned below maybe the a i/o palm right here and one more on the motherboard below somewhere right here because most products now are leading towards the 5 volt a RGB type of heater rather than the typical 4 pin
traveled here right here in fact most of the arrows in the market right now are using 5 volt base RGB when comparing with one generation order the x4 70 bought the differences between the two is not so significant just minut however most of the functions like PCI 4 is not so stable or lockout based on BIOS for this 2 generation processor so if you are doing a lot of work related to PCI 4 especially high rate and high right content creation 4k / rs-422 like that definitely you
want to go with the latest and the best so using this motherboard right here is enjoyable especially for PCB oh I can go near mute of full blackout bill I wish all the orange accent here was gray or black they would look fully amazing 16 now aside from that overclocking on this boat right here is enjoyable it's very flexible and easy especially you can check on my 3600 ex rising overclocking and under vaulting video previously that just uploaded but I use this
motherboard for a particular reason for content creation we are used up to six SATA ports right here to do a lot of backup in archival form I done projects that I have done and completed aside from that I actually use up to two SATA ports for encoding reasons on particular project where I have one project on one SSD and media encoder were encoded to a proxy or a different format that's easy to edit in Adobe Premiere itself so would I recommend this board here
definitely for the price is much more affordable compared to the alternative series and it's good for a starter board for overclocking as well as content creation .
