January 7, 2022 by Stephen

MSI MAG B660M Mortar WiFi DDR4 is a low-cost mATX motherboard based on the Intel B660 chipset, focused on building a mid-sized system, but without the special restrictions, as would be the case with a mini-ITX board. The heroine of this material offers us the possibility of assembling a gaming or working system from high-performance components, but taking into account the limitation in the form of the lack of overclocking of the processor (there are practically no limitations in memory) and a somewhat smaller (relative to ATX solutions) set of slots and interfaces.

The difference is the upgrade of PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 memory, and today’s review is the MPG Z690 Edge Ti WIFI DDR4 motherboard from MSI. The product line is positioned at high-end performance. From the name, it can be seen that it supports WIFI and DDR4 memory, but there is no choice. DDR5 memory is not necessarily a bad thing, at least in terms of price, and now DDR4 may be a better choice for non-flagship motherboards. As for other configurations, let’s take a look.

This motherboard is intended for use with 12th generation Intel Alder Lake-S processors. Indeed, we are here on a new LGA 1700 socket and only this generation is compatible. Thus, we can for example place an i9-12900K , i7-12700K or even the i5-12600K to quote the references with unlocked coefficient, but this motherboard will be more suitable for non-K CPUs like the i5-12400or why not the i9-12900. Although the B660 chipset does not allow CPU overclocking, memory OC is still possible. As for several generations in the mainstream sector, this motherboard is able to manage 128 GB of memory at most, but this is done here in DDR5.

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z690 APEX – GreenTech_Reviews

January 4, 2022 by Stephen

One of the key features of ASUS motherboards (any series based on the Intel Z690 chipset) is the presence of holes for mounting cooling systems that are compatible not only with LGA1700, but also with LGA1200 / 115x. But you need to be careful – the height of the new processor is different from the previous one, so not all cooling systems can be installed with the proper pressure level.
