USB ports speed
The higher price of motherboards is one of the main topics around desktop PCs. Especially in the context of the AMD platform. However, if you decide to build your rig on DDR5 memory with the vision of a longer life expectancy, the B650 Tomahawk WiFi, in comparison to similarly equipped motherboards with Intel chipsets, is rather higher on the “price” scales and with a more attractive price/value ratio.

Hi hwcooling.net team, I would like to ask about the ALC4080 integrated sound card, I heard that many people have problems with it, such as crackling in the speakers or stuttering of the sound during videos and etc. Is this true or not? Can you advise me on this? Or would you rather buy the Asus TUF B650 Plus wifi? Thank you
We can answer a lot of questions, but the ones that require a proper analysis of the sound adapter are not part of it yet. Anyway, we are working on a test methodology, on the basis of which it will be possible to evaluate the characteristics of the audio. However, if difficulties are often discovered based on user experience, it is likely that there will be some issue. Whether the TUF Gaming B650-Plus is better/worse and on top of that without tests I also cannot judge. The only thing we can do is to compare the parameters… I’m sorry I didn’t give you much advice. :/
Is that mosfet temp your review mentions, something concerning? Paired with a 7800x3d, should there be issues down the road??
I tried to find more info about this, but only your website mentions this.
Hard to say. Who knows what (part of the processor) is being supplied through the voltage regulator at all. You probably can’t get this information from publicly available materials, although some more detailed VRM block diagrams should exist somewhere.
Anyway, this motherboard won’t have the slightest trouble with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor. It’s a relatively low-power processor, the Ryzen 9 7950X for tests has almost three times higher power draw. Of course, you still can not exclude that that what the controller is in charge of, just won’t require more intensive power supply with the R7 7800X3D…
