AM4 Mobo collection – Bullzoids push overclocking to the extreme.
Here’s a rephrased version of your notes:
The content covers various motherboards from 2019, focusing on performance and features. The speaker discussed technical details quickly, so multiple listings were needed. Files sometimes changed formats—OpenOffice saved as Word instead of MS Word. I tried to organize related info together and kept track of prices and specs. The second half of the notes was a bit confusing, especially since the speaker is known for overclocking tips.
I checked if the changes need adjustment and gathered supporting details. My opinion is still positive overall, though some suggestions were unclear. Updated on Dec 11, 2019, but some overlaps remain. The main focus was on ASRock, MSI, and other brands.
All TB3 boards are from ASRock except for others. Prices ranged widely, and many specs were skipped due to time constraints. I tried to note key points like BIOS updates, VRM quality, and memory support.
The Taichi and Phantom Gaming models stood out for their performance and features. Some boards had better VRMs or more PCIe lanes, while others lacked advanced features. Overall, the recommendations were mixed but useful for decision-making.
I can't watch all of his videos since he talks for hours on one motherboard per clip. I hope he can provide concise summaries instead. I’m confused because most viewers seem to just want a quick recap—like, can it run the 3950X well or not? And what about overclocking? I don’t need the full technical details.
I understand your perspective on this situation. I’m not very good at estimating ages, but I rewatched the video again and gathered more details. The main issue is that he frequently changes his mind, which makes it hard to follow. If he had planned his content in advance and documented it, it would have been much clearer. Even a simple list created with PCPartPicker and presented using Word could help. I think the 1.25x speed on other platforms is exaggerated given how quickly Bullzoid talks; his thoughts are organized enough, but maturity should lead to a more natural flow. I’ll prepare another copy of my handwritten notes. The price range you mentioned fits well: around $100 for a solid M.2, $150 as a target, and $200 if you’re willing to pay more. Just keep it cool when organizing all the information into a spreadsheet—include specs, bios, clear CMOS details, and anything else relevant.
Mainly he focuses on three areas: VRM OC capabilities and other aspects like audio and LAN. The VRM is made up of three main sections—Vcore power stages/mosfets, the number of controllers and double layers, and heatsinks for lower voltage parts such as SOC. Power stages usually have higher amp ratings, though that isn't always the case. Buildzoid discusses their efficiencies during PCB analysis. The controller manages the power stages and balances current, while the double layers essentially double the output with a slight delay. Heatsinks are responsible for dissipating heat. Other VRMs tend to be less relevant (like SOC or DDR). OC features include clear CMOS, troubleshooting LEDs, and flashback information from BIOS updates—most of which should be obvious. BZ often wanders off topic and talks excessively.
18:21 Gigabyte X570 ITX Aorus Pro Wi-Fi works well with 12 or 16 core CPUs. It’s a solid board, but you might want to look into Strix if you consider the VRM is 33% more powerful. Strix includes a fan built into the VRM, similar to what’s found in the Aorus Pro Wi-Fi. Overall, it’s a strong option, though the heatsink performance on Aorus Pro Wi-Fi isn’t great according to some reviews. There’s an index linked in the comments section for reference. I’ll check if it’s on my list—some Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi items are grouped together.
I watched the video once more. There was some mix-up in the final outro about his preference for TUF versus the actual product shown. His mouse cursor hovered over an ASUS TUF X470-Plus Gaming listed at $133, but it was far away in the past. He mentioned avoiding that item and noted the price as ~$44.50. Later he corrected himself and said ASUS TUF Gaming Plus costs around $165. I mostly understood his words but had trouble with a few details. The end also gave a nice look at the boards he likes.
