He has a bit of reputation,check out reddit threads. He is not some paid reviewer & all the mobos he test,he buy it using his own money. Afterwards he sells them to recover some of his cost but as his testing results in voiding of warranty so he can only sell it at cheap rates even if it is only a few days old mobo. Because of this he is unable to test all mobos & only select a very few mobos for actual testing(hence the lots of eyeballing because why would anyone spend money on something if the first impression itself is not good).
Check this youtube video from above reddit thread,it also confirm buildzoid theoretical evaluation of B450 mobos.
And Asus ROG Strix B450F gaming is somewhat higher than their "TUF" series.You can see for yourself by searching for individual reviews of VRM temps of various mobos mentioned in buildzoid video & you will find they more or less confirm his predictions.
Another video from same reddit thread praising MSI B450 Tomahawk(buildzoid praised only MSI mobos this & gaming pro ac if I remember correctly).
P.S. It is not like TUF is a bad mobo but it is a bad choice for anything above 4 cores or 4cores apu(2200/2400G) especially if you are planning on OC.
Don't wanna have the discussion there and confuse OP with bit off topic discussion, so hijacked here. I hope you don't mind. And I hope this will be a healthy discussion and won't turn into fight
Yeah, I get that. He has some good amount subscribers. And he is too technical.
He commented that he has to spend from his own pockets to buy the products he reviews, and he don't wanna buy every single one of 'em esp. when it's not paying.
Yeah, Steve's test results pretty much aligned with Buildzoids views. And none of ASUS and Gigabyte made it to Steve's top 5.
I couldn't watch the whole of the second video (Level1), I kinda felt sleepy even in the day time. It's too long. I would prefer reading reviews instead of watching looong videos. Yes, buildzoid was happy only with MSI Carbon's VRM but not okay with it's BIOS. He hasn't wholeheartedly said one single B450 is good in all the areas.
Going by buildzoid, MSI/Asrock has better VRM in their B series boards but not so good wrt BIOS. Not everyone of us can afford Crosshair Hero. I have read reviews where ASUS B series board overclocking 2600x to 4-4.1 and to use @ stock it's pretty much okay to go with any decent B series board even Octa core.
