Review ASRock B650E PG Riptide Wi-Fi Review: Impressive Gaming Performance

[Admin]

The B650E PG Riptide is a higher-end budget offering that gives you good looks, great gaming performance, plenty of USB ports (including a front panel 20 Gbps Type-C), and quality networking. At $239.99, it's a good price, but similar alternatives cost a bit less.

I'm not sure why the review gave a negative mark for the "highest price amongst peers". One of the key selling points of this board is that it has both PCIe 5.0 M.2 AND x16 slots - it is the cheapest board on the market to do so. While both are currently of dubious benefit, I'd say it means that those boards probably aren't it's peers, and all of the boards which offer those features are MUCH higher priced.

Being as I own this board.... I can't trust this review at all because it appears Joe has copy-pasted 95% of it, including ALL the product images and graphs, from the b760m Intel board of the same name! It'a showing features and ports thst simply dont exist on AM5... I had to make a forum account just to call this out because it's bad journalism and straight ridiculous.

Impressive how he managed to make a 13900K work with a B650E chipset 🙂 (look at the testbench spec)

A bit too much "clipboard inheritance" it seems, just like #3 mentions.

I own this board as well, and I picked it, as it is indeed the sweet spot between price and functionality. It is perfect for gaming with PCIe 5.0 and you skip the absolute abundance of connectors that every other MoBo has. No gamers need a gazillion USB ports.

Considering what you get the price is absolutely the best in class for a gamer!

Why are all the charts wrong? There is no Asrock B650E in any of the charts in the review article, also no other B650 or B650E board, just B760m and and Z790 which are not even AMD boards. Please update the proper charts for the test.

Wrong images and wrong info. How is this so-called "review" allowed to remain? Is the reviewer not looking at what he's posting? Does nobody check their work here? I used to think highly of this website. No more.
