How Much Does Your Motherboard Affect Performance?

Thanks for the shout-out 😬💪🏼

I really loved how Brian the electrician earned so much cred to have his own boss theme song and recurring gigs at LTT..

this sponsor/video theme combination is great, you can easily advertise without it changing what the video tries to bring across👏

The geek in me loves these videos. I only recently got into gaming pcs after being a console pleb for all my life(cost was my excuse). Now I've undertook the task of building my daughter her own rig because she deserves it, never gave me any problems, got good grades, graduated with honors, etc.. In the past I was too poor to have considered this but always wished I could. I appreciate these videos because they are teaching me about stuff I had no clue how they work or what is just hype. Thank you Anthony and Alex and Linus for sure for showing me I don't just have to throw all the money at it to have a great system.

TLDR: As long as the VRM isn't thermal throttling, it doesn't really matter.

One of the most Canadian things ever is Anthony talking about miles per hour, but using a kilometers per hour speedometer limit, and the graphic also using a kph set up.

This is actually really informative. I really only knew about the difference in I/O and ports so it’s good to know some of the lower end ones do come with other limitations.

I have to say that the results are quite surprising - Your time and effort in conducting these tests are greatly appreciated. Once again - a stellar presentation by Anthony without the unnecessary child-like hyper-excitement. Professional job. Thanks, Anthony.

An AMD version of the same tests would be greatly appreciated especially if we are going to get new ryzen 6000 boards

I've been wondering this for years, and if anyone were to be trusted, it's Anthony!

I would like to see the same tests on the AM4 platform. I've seen cheap A520 boards perform the same as expensive X570 boards on an R9 5950X. And introducing some extra airflow to the VRM's could also make a big difference.

I love how you start these Anthony, it's such a cool touch. And your delivery on these informative videos is fantastic. Keep these videos coming!

When buying a new motherboard the best things to question are: 1) Does it have all the ports and internal connections I need? 2) Can it handle the power requirements for the CPU's I want to use (including what you might upgrade to)? 3) Does it fit into the case that I want to use? If the answer to all of these is yes, it's just a question of balancing ease of use features, visuals and overall perceived quality against the cost.

I remember a time when Expensive boards cost about $100...

Woah! You guys should do more board reviews in the future, that's some real awesome results. And please let Anthony do it!

Surprisingly had a pretty noticable improvement in Overclocking potential with a new ASUS ROG Strix Motherboard after my more budget level MSI Board failed. Now my 3000mhz RAM that was previously only stable at 2866mhz can run at even 3200mhz and my Ryzen 5 2600 went from stable at 3.7GHz at 1.3V to 3.8GHz at 1.3V making my overall experience just a bit smoother.

Just gotta love this dude. He's so freaking relaxing to listen and watch to. Anthony could easily narrate documentaries about stoves for 10 hours and I'd watch it.

"out of factory performance" proceeds to set the power limit to 4000W Yes factory, indeed

I would love to see more board comparisons in the future for a given CPU

This is exactly what I wanted form a video about motherboards <3 Comparing, benchmarking, sharing your suggestion, reliable source as LTT, doing it in default settings and not overexplainin too much. 10/10 video that will help me buy the motherboard soon.
