I was waiting for your honest review. I own the non-X Master and for the price I think it will be my last LGA 1700 board as it does everything I need it to do. Thank you.
-
I just picked this board up for 443, has better specs then the strix board I was looking at
-
I had a really bad day. I would never have thought that a PC motherboard review could cheer me up. Channel subscribed!

One thing you forgot the mention, the additional X at the end of the product name is actually adding performance, especially if you pair it up with a RX 7900XTX , to 4× the performance :p And happy end of the year! Can't wait to see the crazy motherboard reviews you'll come up with in 2024!

The only motherboards for high speed rams are: Apex or Tachyon. Aorus Elite X will do everything that Master does, meaning around 6933-7000mhz with 2x16 or 2x24. 6800mhz for sure. 7200mhz if you are lucky with good cpu imc and A-die kit and tuning volts. Master is only good for those who seek looks and rgb in vrm heatsink some extra usb slots (but who needs so many) and 10G lan port (but who has 10G router). Elite X is the obvious pick.

Merry late Christmas and a healthy start into the new year, Laurent.

Actually, Master X is a full-fledged competitor to Asus Hero, and not the fucking MSI Carbon or Asus Strix E. There is a bias towards Gigabyte.

dis moi elle est bien cette carte mère car j hésite avec la asus dark heroe z790 ? désolé je comprend pas tout l anglais
-
I’m new to your channel. However I appreciate your thoroughness. I am the same with my reviews. Cheers my creator brother!

yea i have that mb and the lan port dose not want to work at all. and no matter what i do it just wont even be seen by win 11.

Compared to the ProArt CReator Z790? For Pshop and LightRoom users, non gamer? They are the same price at sale, and the only significant + I see on the ProArt is the BackIO having TBolt4, but less USB options. The ProArt tops out at 128gb mem, though the Masterx may not do the promised numbers as you state. I have to say, this is the first I have seen your channel, and I first was shaking my head, BUT, then you did amazing explanations with the perfect diagrams, Excellent. I would say you need to specify and carve out a niche of your video time to Creators! Would be valuable! So, which MOBO for the i7 14700K? Master X or ProArt ? I looked through your videos, and WOW...Not ONE non game-centric mobo...well, 3 years back there was one. Pretty surprising no review on the ProArt.

I have this motherboard for about 3 months and i notice that my i91400kf tends to overclock itself and i have to tune it down to be able to play cod without crashing. Any explanations on why thags happening?
-
Which aquarium case should I put it in?
-
Thanks!
-
really confused because all the retailers list it as atx but the box says e-atx? Will this fit in a smaller case?

Question: What if I put thermal pad between that power phases and that metal m.2 heatspreader ? Downside of m.2 don't need to be cooled so I would remove bottom pad from m.2, it would only have pad on upper heatspreader and I would personally only put pad on controller of m.2. What do you think about that idea ?
-
I was hoping it would be an alternative to DARK HERO, but it's not either

Nice ❤

good

Will there be an 890 chipset upcoming? 990?
