      Yep pretty much zero performance difference. They're the same mobos, current mobos will stay the same price until sold out and new gen mobos will just be more expensive. Don't hold if you get a good deal, in my opinion.

      The new mobos won't be better value they'll just be more expensive.

      Biggest upgrade is the feature set- boards with the E chipsets have guaranteed USB4/TB3.

    They are the same chipsets (AMD/Asmedia Prom 21) just positioned differently and USB4 compulsory for X870/E.

    https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/chipsets/am5.html

    The new boards might have increased PBC layer count for better ddr5 speeds, but then they'll also be more expensive, and testing has proven going over 6000 / 6400 desyncs the various on chip buses and overall gives a negligible uplift, if any at all.

    It should be noted generally, there are very few AM5 consumer boards that offer proper 8x/8x bifurcation, and all the rest are far more expensive. This feature are for those that want to run say an HBA, M.2 RAID card, or two GPUs. Most of those who need this option will already have researched and know they do.

      My x670e gigabyte aorus master has 8 layers, they won't go higher than that.

        Agreed, the only way you'll get support for better for ram is on a board with a single ram slot per channel and 8 layers, or CAMM2, if and whenever that becomes mainstream

          @Elusivity: I havnt built my rig yet and will populate only 2 ram slots with 2 fake rgb ram sticks when corsair eventually make them for ddr5.

      It might still be worthwhile to wait for X870E because the board might have 1 more change: WiFi7. Improved DDR5 support could also be handy. I have seen an youTube video showing Zen5 CPUs do benefit from faster DDR5 with tight timings (more so than Zen4).

      Getting a high end board does mean you generally want to use x8 x8 (and likely x8 (x4 x4) bifurcation). It's a pity cost effective boards tend to do x16 x4 setup because quite a lot of them does allow x8 x4 x4 or x4 x4 x4 x4 bifurcation on that x16 slot. My cost effective AM4 and AM5 boards support them, it is just a x16 to x8 x8 splitter is messy and expensive (and I don't think PCIe gen 5 version exists due to the need to use SMD rather than through-hole).

      On the USB4 side, this one uses JHL8540, guessing X870E version could use ASM4242.

        Does anyone really need wifi 7. My WiFi 6e is more than twice as fast as my gigabit fibre nbn connection so really who cares about wifi 7 at the moment.

    Thanks for the heads up, better off using topcashback with biggest discount vouchers then. I always forget about topcashback, edited original post to mention them.

  TightLikeThisx on 18/08/2024 - 10:29

  Side question but when bumping up the number of items to claim a discount does the item have to be physical?

  Can you order an eBook with this motherboard and still get the discount?

    If it's one of the listed items on the linked discount page it shouldn't matter, but typically these kind of sales are to try to get rid of overstock in one or more warehouses so ebooks probably won't show up on the qualifying items page: https://www.amazon.com.au/promotion/psp/A3IKJEZJWNMSOQ/

  how much of a performance difference is this making over a $300 board?

  • 

    Elusivity on 18/08/2024 - 13:36

    This is more of a workstation / creator focused board than an overclocking gaming board.

    Doubtful if there is any extra performance, it's a board with an excellent feature set for those that need it, e.g. 8x/8x bifurcation (two 16x slots running at 8x instead of the usual 16x/4x you get in most boards), usb 4, 10gig ethernet, 4 m.2 slots, etc.

    If your use case is like most of the market and only need a few usb 2/3 ports, 1-2 m.2 slots and a single 16x slot for a gpu then you're better off saving the money and getting a board with less features and spending the money on other things, like a better gpu, new monitor, more ram (if less than 24gb), more storage or anything else in life.

    It's a prosumer board as it has 10Gbps LAN, USB4, USB 3.2 gen 2x2, multiple PCIe gen 5 slots. It also has a top notch VRM (though it is kind of an overkill). 10Gbps LAN is something you currently prefer to be onboard (because if it is not, you need to use a PCIe x8 slot to get an add-on card and cheaper ones do have quite a lot of OS compatibility issues).

    For serious video content creators, 10Gbps LAN, USB4 and 4 or more m.2 slots are important features because they do need to transfer a large number of data quickly.

    its not about performance, its about features
