I apologize, but there are three things I forgot to mention that are available on this motherboard (my apologies), including: 1) TPM 2.0 Header (14-1), 2) Thermal Sensor Header, 3) GPU Release Button (PCIe Slot 1) - Very Nice, since it vastly improves the ability to quickly remove the primary graphics card.

This is a superb video! I am in the process of returning a computer with this board to the company that built it for me (GPU, RAM and CPU problems that have nothing to do with this amazing motherboard), and am absolutely going to use this same board for my new computer. Question: there are lots of rumors about the four M.2 ports, specifically that using some of them will interfere with the GPU because of shared PCI bandwidth. Have you any information or thoughts about this? Or could you point me to any other resources? My inclination is to use the first two M.2 ports for a pair of drives in RAID 0 for my Operating System, a third for project files, and the fourth for cache/scratch disk.

The 4th M.2 however (M.2_1) conflicts with SATA Data forts 5 through 8. So if you put an M.2 in that slot, you lose half your SATA connectors.

That additional rubber spacer is only needed if your M.2 drive does not have chips (surface-mounted integrated circuits0 on the bottom of the circuit board (which is usually the case for Gen-4 devices). It provided a cushion for the board as the heat-sink presses down on the M.2 circuit board, so it does not bend in the middle. I should have provided a graphics of that when I mentioned it, so maybe I can make one when I actually do the build in the next few weeks. Along with actually showing if being done, since my M.2's do not have chips on the bottom of the circuit board. Then again, maybe I should make a Short video showing that - hmmmm.

I have seen that on Motherboards for quite a few years. My 'guess' is that it is possible for a case to the Power connector contained in a two-pin socked, or two separate one-pin sockets to give the installer the option of plugging it in either way. Although, the only ones I have ever seen are two one-pin sockets. Another possibility could be a three-pin socket, that some labelled vendor preferred using at one time, and nobody wanted to catch flack for not supporting that. As I said, my answer her is mostly hypothesis.

You should always check for BIOS updates. In fact, there was another one issued for this motherboard just a week ago, which I updated just yesterday while the board is still outside the case. Also, I do not believe you need an update for the 13th Gen CPU's, only the 14th. But it is not an update you need to get the system to boot, just some additional features that will be enabled. Also, this motherboard has the ability to boot without a working BIOS in it, since it can Flash the ROM directly following a simple procedure shown in the User manual toward the end. So, if you accidentally corrupt the BIOS, you will not have 'Bricked' the motherboard since you can easily recover with a USB stick, and visiting the ASUS Website to download the latest working version.

I have not seen a actual case of that, but I suppose with the right software at both ends of the connection (and maybe assisted with a controller in the middle), that could be possible. I do know (and have done something like) with the SATA data connections on a modern motherboard. By setting two exact drives (in my case being 2.5" SSDs) into a RAID 0 (which was handled by the motherboard and supported by some Intel S/W drivers), i was able to not only double the continuous capacity of data storage, but the actual throughput to the the motherboard and Windows doubled. I had heard that could be achieved, but did not believe it until I tried it. Here is a link to the video I made on this SATA improvement: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5hzrMd71K_eYXU.html

There is a general problem with 4-sticks when using DDR5. It is usually dependent on whether XMP is enabled or not, but sometimes when the speed of the DIMMs is higher than 4800. Not generally dependent on the specific Motherboard manufacturer of model. One thing to double-check is that you have the latest version of the BIOS installed. Also, this motherboard supports 48g DIMMs, so when you use two, you will get 96g. I've heard that has helped the problem go away for some who have tried that.

Your recommendations to use minimum 1000W PSU is BS. The motherboard manual clearly states to use 1000W+ PSU only if 2 or more high-end PCI Express x16 cards are in use. This scenario is very unlikely, because the MB has only 3x PCIe slots and one would not be able to use even 2x high-end GPUs in it at their full potential. Trying to use more than 1 GPU will lead to PCIe speed being reduced to 8x+8x and the 3rd PCIe is only 4x. The MB manual recommended minimum is just 350 W, which is far away from what you are suggesting. The manual also does not say anything about 850W recommendation, so not sure where you got it from. From the manual: "For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit (PSU) that complies with ATX 12V Specification 2.0 (or later version) and provides a minimum power of 350W." "If you want to use two or more high-end PCI Express x16 cards, use a PSU with 1000W power or above to ensure the system stability" You off course are welcome to use whatever you want. However, the text you show on the screen looks like a copy from the manual, which apparently is not the case and it is misleading. I made this post only because it mislead me at first and I had to do an investigation, which showed that requirements you come up with are an overkill and misleading.
@PE4Doers3 ай бұрын
Both the manual and I are estimating what the power draw might be. I use the rule of always trying to reach 50% of the maximum, which seems high sometimes, however if you look are the charts for any PC PSU 50% is where you reach peak efficiency. I've made more than one video about that specific topic on my Channel, and it is basic Electrical Engineering concept that has been tested against all magnetism based electrical component for at least 80 years.
@dkostasx3 ай бұрын
@@PE4DoersIf your claim that PSUs are most efficient at 50% of load and If your logic is to get a PSU which has 2x the power limit of what you will ever need as max, then you will always run your PSU very inefficiently, because you will always be running at very low load level and only reach max efficiency once the system is max loaded which will happen very rarely. Your calculations of what is max required power levels could also be incorrect, because such calculations are theoretical. The practical tests show that the actual load is usually smaller than what people think it will be based on theoretical calculations. For example, playing some games will not load the system to the max, because even though GPU may run using max power, the CPU most likely will not. Achieving the max load of the system would only be possible using very specialized workflows like running benchmarks, but not under normal PC use. In general, what you write about PSUs reaching their peak efficiency only at 50% is also not correct. Maybe it was the case some years ago, but not anymore, especially where most of PSUs these days are 80 plus rated and run very efficiency at most of the power levels. The efficiency curves are more or less flat through the most range varying just in 1-5%, at least for high quality PSUs. Such PSUs also reach near peak efficiency at as low as 100-200W load and keep running at that efficiency towards the max power level. So even though PSUs could reach the absolute peak efficiency somewhere in 40-60% load range, it does not mean much anymore, because efficiency is considered to be flat throughout ~20-90% power load because of how little the efficiency change in that range. Moreover, most quality PSUs can without any issues run efficiently to their maximum rated power level and have no problems delivering at least 10% over the rated power level. So if you get 1000W PSU, then you can easily run it up to ~1100W. So the power spikes are already covered by PSU's rating allowing it to go over to handle them and one does not have to overcompensate buying a more powerful PSU. There are videos in KZfaq where experts show how much power PCs are actually using and how people buy way too powerful PSUs just because of superstition. So unless you are overclocking CPU and GPU or use some crazy setup with multiple high-end GPSs, a quality Platinum rated 850W PSU is probably max what you will ever need with a significant safety margin on top.

There's not much I can do about helping there other than listing all of my undergrad electrical engineering text books.
