Question Advice on motherboard for new AM5 build - Should I take chance on ASUS?

[batou1122]

Hi. I'm putting together a new gaming AM5 build with a 7800x3D CPU and 4090 GPU. The only thing I am really stuck on is which motherboard to choose.

I like the features on the ASUS B650E-E Gaming mobo and if it were not for the issues ASUS has had recently, it would be a no-brainer. I like having the Q code display and I have an old Klipsch surround speaker set I like that requires rear and sub outs which limits my options. The other mobo that has a similar feature set I am looking at is the X670E MSI Carbon. I'd appreciate any recommendations particularly from anyone with experience with either of these mobos. Unfortunately, ASRock and Gigabyte mobos dont have the audio outputs I need. I guess I could go with them and add a sound card. Is this a reasonable option?

Thanks in advance.

If the Asus mobo's audio capability suites your need, I think it's a good choice.

I've got a 3800X on an Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming and a 7950X on an Asus Prime X670-P Prime WiFi. Both boards are working fine.
