Searching for new X670 motherboard ideas.
I currently own a Gigabyte X670 Elite AX Rev 1.0 motherboard and have faced some problems since purchase. After months of working with Gigabyte, I’m tired of their issues and looking for alternatives that others have used successfully without many problems. I need at least three M.2 slots, plenty of USB ports, and preferably a BIOS flashback button.
The ASRock X670E Pro RS offers solid features like 4 M.2 slots and USB ports, though it lacks the extensive port count of some competitors. It includes a BIOS flashback button. Despite being an 'E' model, its price matches a high-end Plus board from a few years back. Compared to older models, ASRock’s design has improved significantly, avoiding the overvoltage problems seen with X3D CPUs on ASUS and Gigabyte. Your current setup might have similar concerns—please check if you share the same issues. I also own an AORUS B650 Elite AX, so it’s worth noting whether you face comparable challenges down the line.
Don't worry about the bad appearance? The B650 Livemixer suits every setup and is super affordable. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ckhFf7/...-livemixer If you're okay with it, the B650 Aorus Elite from @ImWilly is a solid pick, and the B650 Edge by MSI is another option. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wkFbt6/...-edge-wifi For those needing faster USB speeds beyond basic connectivity, the B650 PROART CREATOR by Asus is a great choice. 5 3.2 Gen 2.
