welcome my creative friends this over here is asus proad b550 creator motherboard and this is asus x570 pro art crater motherboard so the thing is the x570 motherboard is about 100 pounds dollars something like that more expensive than the b550 version but the question for me is and maybe for you is is it worth the money over the b550 and should you get the b550 instead of the x570 like which one is the most bang for buck both of them create those motherboards well let's compare them to and then figure out which one is the right one for you [Music] by the way i've got in-depth videos of like both of these motherboards on the channel so if you want to check them out feel free to check them out and also the links for these are in the description below the main thing for you to understand and keep in mind while we're doing this is that keep the price difference in mind this x 570 version on the right over here is 100 pounds dollar something like that more expensive than that one i've checked the prices like different times and whenever the price difference whatever it was i can see it being like about 100 difference so the similarities for these balls are that they're very similar design that's the same we have a m4 socket for the ryzen the processors four dim slots for up to 128 gigabytes of ram same power connectors and both of them have two thunderbolt 4 parts on these boards so let's have a look at these differences now i'm gonna put the base model as the x570 over here and then the b550 is like the comparison one of the main difference that you're gonna see straight away from this is that the x570 version has three m.2 slots so there's two underneath this heatsink and then one on the top over here and both of these are pci or all of them are pcie 4.0 capable whereas on the b550 we have one pci 4.0 drive and then one pci 3.0 m.2 slot so big win here on the x570 another thing you might see is that both of these boards have the same amount of pcie slots over here like the by 16 slots like two on the top over there for like reinforced metal as well for your two graphics cards and then one on the bottom over here and then on the b550 we have actually two more extra buy one pcie slots over here for your like wi-fi and bluetooth or 10 gigabit lan or something like that which the x570 doesn't have but it doesn't necessarily need them you'll see in a moment before we're going to flip the motherboard over and check the i o let's have a look at some of the other differences in terms of connectors over here both of these have front panel usb c connector whereas the x570 front usbc connector is 10 gigabits in bandwidth rated whereas on the b550 it's only five on the x570 we have six sata ports whereas on the b550 we have only four sata parts in terms of the pwm fan connectors or pump headers we have the same amount on both of these boards which is seven but the x570s has one extra connector over here on the bottom which is the water pump plus connector which is three ampere rated a bit more powerful pump and it can actually support a little bit more powerful pump than the b550 so if someone's doing water cooling or something like that this water pump part over here might be essential for you so three amperes and 36 watts rated now let's move on to the back io of both of these motherboards first thing that i just noticed right now is that the pcb of the x570 is actually a little bit thinner than the b550 one the b550 board feels a bit more rigid than the x570 bot just like a weird thing i just noticed but looking on the back of this x570 bot we have wi-fi 6e and bluetooth 5.0 you know antennas which we don't have on the b550 board then the similar thing for both of these boards is that you've got like your five point audio and four usb ports that are 10 gigabits rated in speed which are these turquoise ports so these are all 10 gigabits in speed and type a ports and then on the x570 board we also have these blue usb ports which are five gigabits in rated speed whereas on the b550 board we have only two usb 2.0 ports on the top over there which are ten times slower than these blue parts which are 5 gigabits in speed both of them have the same hdmi out and dp in ports and the x570 port over here has 2.5 g and 10 gigabit lan ports whereas on the b550 both of the lan ports are 2.5 gigabits rated speed which is a massive massive thing for this x570 board now looking on the back you can actually see that there's something that the b550 has that the x570 doesn't have it has spdif out which is optical output for the audio which the x570 doesn't have and also it has this ps2 connector for some of the older keyboards and mice or something like that so if this port is necessary for you obviously it doesn't have that on the x570 bot and then the usb-c ports both of these are exactly the same thunderbolt 4 compatible rated up to two 4k displays or one 8k display can be actually come out from these as well so video signal and data transfer comes out from there okay differences aside let's have a look at how much do these differences actually cost so one of the main differences is obviously one more md2 slot and faster slot we have the wi-fi 6e and bluetooth antennas over here as well as the 10 gigabit ports inside so let's say three differences how much do these differences cost you know if we bought them separately let's say you buy this b550 board and you want to add those later how much is this going to cost you so the wi-fi antennas wi-fi 6e and bluetooth 5 they cost about 50 quid or a little bit more then the 10 gigabit lan port that's inside this x570s that costs another hundred so we're at 150 and the extra and the two slot over here i'm not sure how much that will you know cost you but let's add extra like 20 or something like that on there so we are about 170 pounds more expensive ports or 175 pounds worth of more stuff on the x570 board than the b550 now when we go minus those actual prices right now you can see that actually the x570 seems to be the more bang for buck for your money just because if you buy the b550 you're later on gonna pay much more than extra hundred dollars as you can see you're gonna be extra 170 so it could be like up to 70 percent more expensive when we just look at the upgrade path for both of these bots you know 100 270 if that makes sense so if you're asking me which one should i be getting then my advice for you is if you're looking for a build like right now and you're not really thinking about upgrade path and you're not interested really like upgrading it and you're thinking you know what i'm gonna upgrade like everything in a few years time then i would go with a b550 bot like if you don't need anything extra that you're going to upgrade go with the b550 board because you're going to get your everything's going to run exactly the same maybe you're going to run out of m.2 storage if you need a bit more of that you can buy an extra card of that or something like that but if you're thinking a little bit of an upgrade path or if you're thinking about you know what i'm going to expand my business i'm going to get a nas in a little bit of a time and i'm going to get a better router i'm gonna use the wi-fi 6e i need the bluetooth actually and if you need all those features then the x517 makes a ton of sense because it just packs a lot of features that actually in the end work out cheaper for you which is fantastic and i love it a lot so the big brother x570 seems like a more expensive bot but it makes a ton of sense so hopefully this helped you to decide which one is the right one for you thanks guys for watching likes if you enjoyed this video subs if you like to see more and i'm gonna leave those bots in the description below see you next time bye
