The motherboard manufacturers have all seen what Nvidia got away with and decided they're going to do that too.

Finding a half decent motherboard with the I/O and features you want while not breaking the bank has never been so hard istg

I remember back in 2018, you'd be able to get a really nice motherboard with future-proofed (for lack of a better term) features for $200 or less. PC gaming is starting to become a hobby for the rich.

The trend with mobos, over the last bunch of years, is that the install guide went from being a book explaining every feature to a pamphlet that basically says, "Any questions go to our website." Hmm I'm building a computer so getting on the internet to look up a solution for an install problem is kinda a bit difficult with computer parts spread all over my floor at that moment.. Thanks.. :)

“I’m not mad, just disappointed” one of the most devastating things a kid can hear from their parents.

I paid $180 for my B 550 when it launched. That is double of what I paid for my board 6 to 7 years ago. Back when Jay started the channel and ran AMD. He would recommend $60 - $70 boards and I bought $80 for some extras. Now $80 gets you the box and installation guide.

The real irony here is that if there weren’t thousands of content creators hyping up PC building, parts, frame rates, etc the manufacturers wouldn’t have the customer base to be able to get away with what they’re doing.

I’m annoyed that back motherboards all had LED post code display. Now motherboards can have RGB yet they might not even even have a light to help determine errors.

The thing i told people when buying a motherboard. Pick a CPU and a compatible chipset and get the CHEAPEST motherboard. Unless you need some special feature, the $100 motherboard is going to be near identical to the $400 motherboard.

@joshdillon9637

The thing I want to see them get back to is simplicity. I'm not looking at my PC when I'm using it, I'm looking at the monitor. Why in the heck do people want them lit up like it's Christmas? Give me components that are affordable and efficient. Take all the "fluff" out of it. I need a PC that does what it is built to do. It doesn't need to win fashion shows.

I remember buying an entry level motherboard just a few years ago for 70 bucks. It doesn't have a whole lot of features, especially no gimmicky ones, but it does the job. Enough connectivity, 2 M.2 slots. No RGB headers, though, but who cares.

@kchaney56

I have been doing this for 30 years and to hear someone else say what I have been thinking is so refreshing. Thank you

Current AM5 motherboards have fewer PCIe slots, fewer SATA ports, and fewer audio jacks (sometimes only 2 or 3!). The improved aesthetics were nice for a bit but it's time to get back to the basics - connectivity!

Reminds me in particular of a lot of what's going on in the new car market, all the way from base models up.

My latest build is now 3 years old but I still remember the agony of comparing boards and their features.

I miss when boards standard for the current time was affordable and usually ranged around $80-$140

Frustrating for me these days is that it's hard to find motherboards with enough PCIe slots, as all the lanes have gone off to distant places like M.2 and Thunderbolt controllers. Finding a board with 2 16x slots is rare enough, most of the time the second full length slot is only 8x electrically. I know it's more of a niche use case, but some of us like to add stuff to our computers other than GPUs (high end networking, RAID controllers, etc.)

@sammcj2000 Жыл бұрын

Honestly the biggest thing I noticed when getting a new AM5 board was that hardly any boards offer enough full length - or even x4 PCIe slots and instead offer completely useless x1 slots.

Definitely agree , I've seen a sharp rise in Motherboards with there being nothing to cover the basic build for people.. most people want a home computer to do their average daily work plus something they can play their favourite computer game in the evening.. The cost of building a basic system here in Australia with a suitable GPU for 1080P gaming is approaching the $1200 AUD .
