The best motherboard for AMD? The price is over PLN 5,600
Motherboards that EVGA designed for the AMD AM5 socket have come to light. It looks like phenomenal platforms are on the way once again.
In September 2022 we have lost one of the best manufacturers of proprietary graphics card models on the market. That's when EVGA officially withdrew from cooperation with NVIDIAemphasizing that it is not interested in establishing cooperation with the Greens' competitors, i.e. AMD and Intel.
Even though it's a prototype, it works great with RAM
However, the Americans reassured that they were not going anywhere – they still wanted to offer power supplies, processor coolers, peripherals and motherboards. Unfortunately, a lot began to change quite quickly, and the most visible were worse warranty conditions and the departure of a large number of employees. EVGA is just a shadow of its former self.
If anyone was hoping that they would hit the market soon EVGA motherboards for the AMD AM5 socket then we don't have good news. It is true that Americans were often “late” with their platforms, but they were always exceptionally refined. But now all prototypes went on sale in China.
Jiacheng Liu he boasted on the X platform that he bought five copies on Xianyu, the Chinese equivalent of Allegro EVGA X670E Classified. Four of them in the “bare PCB” version and one more advanced one, with heat sinks.
As usual, it's about format E-ATX90° inverted socket and RAM slots and powerful, 14-phase power supply section. Angled power connectors are used here and are available to the user two reinforced PCI Express x16 slotstwo PCI Express x4, three M.2 connectors and eight SATA III ports.
The described motherboards run on software version 0.00, dated August 2022, which still uses AGESA 1.0.0.2. Still, we're talking about CPU performance AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and good DDR5 RAM support – training of 6000 MHz CL32 modules lasted only 30 seconds. Of course there are still a lot of imperfections here such as fan RPM control or ARGB LED not working.
Jiacheng Liu paid $620 (approx. PLN 2,539) for the “bare” versions of EVGA X670E Classified and as much as $1,378 (approx. PLN 5,639) for a better-equipped model. This is a lot, but it should be remembered that we are talking about essentially a collector's item from a once leading manufacturer of computer equipment.
