Gigabyte, stay away from ASUS X670 boards.

ASUS is absolute garbage these days, even Asrock is better now.

Unless you want to plug in 2 GPUs, Asus ROG STRIX B650E-F is more than enough.

What will be the usage for this PC?
It has oddly weak GPU for such an expensive build.

For gaming. My 980 TI was already barely holding so I needed to get decent GPU for normal price. Will get new GPU once I complete this build.

Don't most if not all Gigabyte boards suffer from coil whine these days?

It's up to you, man. A $109 Asrock B650 motherboard will provide the same performance as a $1000 one. More RGB just takes away from your GPU budget, similar to unnecessary storage. You can easily reinstall games when needed; there's no good reason to keep 1000 games if it means a cheaper GPU. Similarly, opting for an expensive case and cooling, when a Peerless Assassin for $40 in an $80 case will do the same job.

It's up to you, man. I kind of understand because I've also overspent on parts that don’t give any extra performance.

ASUS messed it up hard but currently they are I think the only company that cover EXPO/XMP under warranty.
Asrock is owned by the same parent company. Gigabyte is not great. MSI is not perfect as well.

that more likely is the power supply i never heard a motherboard produce coil whine so that would be a new if it is the cause

I was considering Gigabyte mobo but people were giving bad reviews on amazon because of that. I also didn’t know it’s possible.

Reviews are not always reliability, so you would have to do research on motherboards you considering buying one of those.

Reviews are just one piece of bigger research I’ve done.
I went with a mobo with clear cmos, bios flashback, error code display, GPU release button and good audio.

I'm sorry, but I do not recommend reading reviews on Amazon, Newegg, etc. The negative reviews usually are from building errors.

I understand that. I bought a motherboard that I believe is the best in its price bracket, even though it has more bad reviews than the mentioned Gigabyte one. Not all bad reviews are wrong. Some may give some interesting info.

[Julien, cut it out.]

The chipsets on these two boards differ. X670E and X670. The two chipsets only differ in the bandwidth of the PCIe GPU lanes, but you should be made aware of it.

I have an Aorus Master X670E and other than it having a dead CMOS battery right out of the sealed package I have no issues. Been using Aorus boards zince Z390 without issue. I thought about going ASUS but then quickly realized how bad their quality has become, especially for AM5. Yikes.
