Hi mortont1210, welcome to my channel. Thank you for sharing. Yup this board is a steal for it's build and price. It's a very mature board.

@@KleoYan Thanks for the response. I received my NVIDIA 4080 Super about two weeks ago. I need to install the GPU bracket that came with the motherboard.

@@mortont1210 then you are in good hands. the GPU brackets that comes with this motherboard is very sturdy.

What? How did you pick this up for $259? I couldn't find it for under $329 anywhere and that's what I had to pay. Waiting for it to arrive right now.

@@MyJman37 hi welcome to my channel. At the very begining, this board was not so popular and everyone is sceptic about ASRock as compared to ASUS. however more and more good feedbacks, comments and recommendation of this board, therefore the price raises. My friend got this board when it was not popular, that's why the price is cheaper.

Hi Frank B., welcome to my channel and thank you for all your kinds words. All the best with your build 😉

Hi Blb Hansel, welcome to my channel. Wow! Greatly appreciated your kind words and to share your feedback with us. I got to agree ASRock keeps improving, they seems to pay lots of attention not only on looks but the way they have engineered these boards. Though there are some hit and miss but these does not compromise the performance. My friend have been using this board right after I build a system and return back to him. Till now he is enjoying it 😂. Once again thank you 😉

How are you liking the Nova? Gonna get the i7-14thgen (kicking around i9, but I'm just gaming) and I keep coming back to this Mobo...but man there's so many options!!

@@JayKoe-uv5kyhi and welcome to my channel. I just love this board as it has the bells and whistles of what I needed. The m.2 slots, able to compile large content videos in a short time as such. Temperature is rather low and am using a 14700k on this board.

@@JayKoe-uv5ky Hi! I really love this ASRock Nova Motherboard! I have NO issues with it. It has all the features I wanted, and looks great too (with tasteful RGB lighting). I have previously used boards from Asus, Gigabyte and, most recently, EVGA. In fact, when I recently moved my custom, water-cooled PC to a new case, I switched out my EVGA board for this Nova board. To be honest, I never really needed the EVGA board, and lack of support going forward was a bummer. I have watch several of Kleo Yan's videos on different ASRock motherboards to gain a better understanding of the UEFI features (the features are very consistent). He does a really good job explaining everything, which is helpful since this is my first experience with ASRock. I have watched this particular video multiple times in order to dial in the BIOS. In fact, now that it is more familiar, I really like the ASRock UEFI - it's well thought out and easy to use. For example, I was easily able to set my radiator fan curves based on the coolant temperature using the T1 sensor header. I have my case fans set to ramp on the internal case temperatures using the T2 and T3 headers - easy! Currently, I have an I9-13900K sitting with restricted power limits (due to the recent instability reports, but not experienced by me personally). I also have the CPU undervolted by 100 mV (as recommended in the video). The rest of my base system features an AMD 7900XTX (water-cooled), and 64 GB of G-Skill memory (running with the standard XMP profile). It runs cool and rock-steady. I have not had a single crash, even under heavy benchmark runs and during game play. As mentioned, there are plenty of M.2 slots, which is great! No complaints - in my opinion, the Nova is a full-feature board at a great price point!

Hello Janos Antal, welcome to my channel. You won’t cover the second PCIe slot if you place a RTX 4090. As for m.2. I mentioned that if you plug the very first slot with a GEN 5 m.2. Your GPU that is plug to the 1st PCI-e slot will not run at x16 speed. Instead it will run at x8. And if you have only GEN 4 m.2, you are advisable to plug them at slot 2 to 6. You will not have any issues to plug m.2 without any heatsink to all the slots. The amour shield will seat nicely.

Hi David RegaL, welcome back. If it's based on the actual structure and measurements of the Lancool III case which I have reviewed a year ago. I have mentioned on my Lancool III content, the height clearance is at 45mm (motherboard rear I/O + motherboard standoff height). This Nova board rear I/O is at 45mm, and if you mount it, it will exceed. I strongly do not suggest this. Don't get yourself stuck in a situation where you got the case + 420 Liquid AIO and you can't use it.

@@KleoYan Thank you! I guess I have to go with a full tower build, it's a bit sad that Lancool III won't allow to adjust the motherboard further down inorder to not disturb the Arctic 420mm aio..

Hi Lau Lauth welcome to my channel, which LCD fans do you intend to use?I will need to be sure before providing any instructions. thank you!

@@KleoYan i think im going for a lian li TL /TL LCD fan build, 7 of them will be simple TL and placed like this: 3 top 3 bottom and 1 rear, and the 3 last will be TL LCD on the right side of the case.

Hi Wayne Hughes, welcome back. You are absolutely right. I was wondering too, why both motherboards does not have a Bios Flashback button? also for Nova, no clear cmos button which is weird too. Other than that the price point for Nova is attractive if it's at SGD $439, due to the cooling and such. But now as i've checked, newegg is selling Nova at SGD$484 and riptide at $406. If that's the case and if I am building a new rig, I will just go with riptide. Consider my friend lucky to get it at SGD $439 for the Nova, it's a steal.

@@KleoYanIf get from Newegg, what’s the warranty like?

@@HLchwa hi and welcome to my channel. You might want to check at newegg, what's their warranty policy. If it's by ASRock themselves, you will need to file up an rma with ASRock and depending on which country you are from. If you do not have any answers from newegg, you might want to read the info here. www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?cat=RMA

Does your friend Jonathan have any info since he bought the board from Newegg? Also, any idea when this board will retail in Singapore?

@@HLchwa he mentioned to me, this is not the first time he have gotten ASRock boards from Newegg. All is needed is to send in a RMA request tw.asrock.com/events/tsd.asp , ASRock will then provide info to you and you will need to send your board to for RMA. As for local availability, let me check with TD.

Hi Srivatsav V, welcome to my channel. 1) it's incorrect .. it should be only 1700 and not lga 1851, my bad. and 2) if you install a m.2 gen 4 on the gen 5 m.2 slot, your GPU will work at 8X not 16X. As for GPU if it's at 5.0 on the PCI-E 5.0 slot, it will run at 16X and if you have place both PCIE-5.0 and Gen 5 m.2 slots, then your GPU Gen 5 will run only on 8x not 16x.

how about the others pcie m2 slots ? i can put m2 gen4 in slot 2,3,4,5 and my graphic card will work x16 ?@@KleoYan

Hi rvfalk, welcome to my channel. It greatly depends what are your needs. If you require thunderbolt port, then go for the TaiChi Lite, more M.2 slots, then go for this Nova. Both these do not have 60w fast charging. I personally will grab this nova over the Taichi as the cooling is far better than Taichi also if the price is cheaper at your end. Nova will be the way to go.

@KleoYan Thank you so much!

@@rvfalk you are more welcome. All the best with your build too. btw, if you want to save more and just for gaming purposes, I would look at the ASRock Z790 Riptide Wifi 7, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNGJdZSUy8y8qqc.html . It has the capability too, just that there are some features are not present compared to the Nova

Hi Sergey, by default you can just plug a gen 14th processor but I would advise to update the bios to the latest before installing windows. Thats my normal practice 😉

It was very important for me to know that this board will accept the i9 14900K processor if it is installed in the board without updating the BIOS, the question is just now which processor to buy, either i9-13900K or i9-14900K, of course I want to take the latter, but there were doubts that the board would not support it will see, that’s why I was interested in you, your opinion was very important to me since you already have experience with this board and processors in terms of their compatibility

@@sergey5138 Hi, this is a refresh z790 board which comes with the 14th Gen bios, therefore it will be by default accepting 14th Gen processor.

Hi Crimson, welcome to my channel. Don't mind me asking, which washer mode are you referring to? if it's just like the ASRock X570 Taichi mod which I have done. There is no need too as the backplate comes with the thermal pads between the back of the VRM and the backplate. As for the chipset, it runs cool.

@@KleoYan the washer mod is to put 1mm washers underneath the socket retention bracket in order not to bend the cpu and keep it cooler. It offers the same function as the contact frame you installed in the other nova board you showed in the video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gcp0Z5Wj2rCYqnk.html

Hi Always Respawn, welcome to my channel. It greatly depends on your budget. Since you have type out the processor and GPU. below are some choices which you can pick. Those are the PC parts which I have tested. Motherboard 1) ASRock X670E Steel Legend www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X670E%20Steel%20Legend/index.asp 2) MSI X670E Tomahawk www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-X670E-TOMAHAWK-WIFI/Overview 3) Asus TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/tuf-gaming/tuf-gaming-x670e-plus/ Rams I will stick to EXPO profile with good timing with latency of CL30 and at 6000mhz bus speed. Rams Non RGB but with good timings. 1) G.SKILL Flare X5 Series (AMD Expo) 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR5 6000 CL30-38-38-96 www.gskill.com/product/165/396/1673491242/F5-6000J3038F16GX2-FX5 2) G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO Series (AMD Expo) 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR5 6000 CL30-38-38-96 www.gskill.com/product/165/393/1661410171/F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5N Rams with RGB and with good timings 1) G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO RGB Series (AMD Expo) 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR5 6000 CL30-40-40-96 www.gskill.com/product/165/390/1665020865/F5-2) For M.2 Storage you wont go wrong with Seagate Firecuda (for their high endurance and TBW) or Western Digital. I will not go for Samsung as they have poor endurance rate. My top list as follow 1) Seagate Firecuda 530 for OS boot and application 2) Seagae Firecuda 520 for storage only 1) Western Digital SN850X for OS boot and application 2) Western Digital SN850 or SN770 for storage Curcial P5 for OS boot, application and storage. In general these are cheaper and does it's job. if you going for SSD, I will just stick to Curcial MX500 or BX500 PSU I will grab 1000watts 80plus Gold or 80Plus Platinium and with PCI-E 5.0 ATX 3.0 ready. Also their cables are mostly flat which is easy for cable management. I wouldn't go for sleeve cables. 1) Hydro PTM X PRO ATX3.0(PCIe5.0) 1000W 80Plus Platinium www.fsplifestyle.com/en/product/HydroPTMXPRO1000W_GEN5.html 2) Hydro G PRO ATX3.0(PCIe5.0) 1000W 80Plus Gold www.fsplifestyle.com/en/product/HYDROGPRO1000W_GEN5.html 3) Seasonic VERTEX GX seasonic.com/vertex-gx
