B850M-X [WiFi] quick review.

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have to concur on the audio situation. I recently put together a new build with the B650M-HDV/M.2 (which is an extremely similar board that also uses ALC897) and a 9800x3d. I'm very happy with the board, but the audio quality difference is stark. The audio chipset wasn't something I was really thinking about, but once I got back into Windows and started testing things out I immediately noticed how much worse the audio was compared to my previous build (on an old X99 motherboard with ALC1150). That's with  earbuds.  

Despite that, though, I'm satisfied with my B650M-HDV/M2 and will be recommending the B850M-X to people.
