Things We Like
PCI-E 5.0 support: For X670E motherboards, PCI-E 5.0 is somewhat of a standard inclusion, but the amount of slots available varies in each design. By no means does this design from Gigabyte include a ridiculous amount of PCI-E 5.0 support, but it does provide more than enough for gamers to experience high-quality gaming, whilst still leaving plenty of room for upgrades to future components as soon as they release.
Strong connectivity: In conjunction with the wide array of PCI-E slots featured on this design, the Gigabyte AORUS Master also contains plenty of connectivity options on the rear IO.

Introduction
Next up is another option from ASUS, but from their TUF range of boards. This is again, another motherboard that we’ve taken a look at in more detail, and this is a worthwhile option for the more price-conscious buyer. ASUS’s TUF motherboard have always offered a fine balance between features and aesthetic. Consumers will notice that this particular board is more exposed and bare in terms of aesthetic, but what it lacks in design it makes up for in features. I’d say overall, the TUF Gaming aesthetic looks great, and the industrial theme looks awesome.
Features wise, the TUF Gaming X670-E Plus comes with integrated WiFi 6E allowing consumers to keep cable management to a minimum, but 2.5 Gigabit LAN is an option for those that prefer a more stable and wired connection. This board does have less PCI-E 5.0 compatibility with a singular slot for GPUs and SSDs, but this still offers some upgradeability for the future. USB ports are still very strong overall, offering less compared to other boards, but still providing a mass of high speed options to choose from.

Things We Like
Great value: It’s hard to consider any motherboard with a X670E chipset a budget option, but this board is probably the closest you can get. As the cheapest option on this list, the TUF Gaming X670E-Plus is hindered slightly by the reduced price point, but manages to keep up with the more expensive alternatives. Becuase of this, it is a great choice for more money-conscious PC gaming enthusiasts.
ATX form factor: As well as being the cheapest option in this roundup, this motherboard is the smallest thanks to its ATX design. This is going to be a major advantage for a lot of gamers, as ATX motherboards are the easiest designs to find a compatible PC case for. As a result, those upgrading their PC will be more likely to be able to use their pre-existing case, and new builders will have greater range of cases to choose from.

AMD Ryzen ‘X3D’ Processors – What Are They?
The introduction of AMD’s 3D V-Cache did not see fruition until the earlier half of 2022. Although many enthusiasts might have heard about this technology in theory, the 5800X3D was the first mainstream desktop processor to integrate this cache successfully, making this CPU the king of gaming performance.
But what is the 3D V-Cache? Effectively AMD have created an extra layer of L3 cache which can hold more instructions for the CPU, resulting in less data being pulled from RAM. This significantly increases processing speeds, because the CPU can process all of these instructions much quicker by having more storage, which in turn will improve framerates, and load times. At the time, the 5800X3D was one of the only CPUs that offered comparative performance to Intel’s top-end Core i9 12900K, which was mind-blowing considering the specs of this CPU.
When applying this technology to the Ryzen 7000 range, we could see some massive gains and benefits in performance. The biggest caveat to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is that the temperature limitations on the V-Cache meant that it had a lower clock speed. This means that while strong in gaming, its performance did not follow suit in productivity applications when compared to other options. However, with the strong metrics that we’ve already seen from the Ryzen 9 7950X, it is highly possible this CPU could be a big hitter in games and workstation applications.
This doesn’t mean that you should pick up one of the new Ryzen 3D SKUs straight away, because we don’t know what this CPU has to offer as of yet. There is a possibility that they might not be great value, but if the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is anything to go by, we could see some incredible metrics. It is likely the Ryzen 7 7800X3D will be the big hitter in gaming performance, so we recommend keeping your eyes peeled when April rolls around.
Why X670E Motherboards?
Although AMD has some very strong offerings when it comes to their new chipsets, X670E motherboards will be the go-to option for a high-end and even mid-range builds. The X670E chipset makes no compromises or sacrifices when it comes to features, and thus, these boards will have all of the new slots, and ports that arrived with the AM5 platform. Arguably, we could’ve picked the B650E chipset too, but I imagine the majority of consumers who are looking to buy a Ryzen 9 7950X3D are probably planning on building a kitted out system with ‘all the things’!
A small point I’d like to make though, is that we’ve avoided picking boards that have significantly higher VRM counts. This is due to the fact that the 3D SKUs do not have an unlocked core multiplier. Which essentially means you can’t overclock the CPU. Although there are some boards on this list that are definitely more capable of overclocking, keep in mind that only RAM overclocking will be possible.
