MSI MPG X570S CARBON MAX WIFI – Hexus

Here is the £290 MSI MPG X570S Carbon Max WiFi. No surprises in learning it has similarities to the X570 Gaming Pro Carbon WiFi, but credit where it’s due, MSI has changed the aesthetic and a number of key features in this transition.

Chief amongst these improvements is greater heatsink coverage, that lack of chipset fan, and RGB lighting across two sections. LEDs beneath the Carbon name on the southbridge heatsink are clearly visible, which isn’t ideal. MSI has done a much better job on the three-sliver lighting on top of the main VRM heatsink as the LEDs are hidden away.

ASUS ProArt X570-CREATOR WIFI & GIGABYTE X570S AORUS MASTER- KitGuru

Focusing on the ASUS ProArt X570-Creator WiFi, this motherboard has a really unique position on X570 by offering genuine prosumer features such as Thunderbolt 4, 10GbE networking, and advanced security capabilities.

There are some downsides such as slightly questionable PCIe bandwidth allocations and less preferential fan splitter capabilities on heavily cooled systems. But this board will certainly appeal to WFH or freelancing prosumer types, especially with that 24/7 tested operation giving significant peace of mind.

GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE – GreenTech_Reviews

Z590 Aorus Xtreme Waterforce is the flagship of the Z590 Aorus motherboard series, which differs from the “simple” version of Xtreme by the presence of a water block in the package. Yes, not a simple water block, but a candy bar – it removes heat not only from the processor, but also from its power subsystem, as well as all M.2 drives and the chipset. In addition, the boards are strikingly different in appearance, which is the merit of this very water block. The Xtreme Waterforce is about 1.5 times more expensive than the Xtreme. Is there anything to overpay for? Definitely! And it’s not only the presence of a waterblock in the kit. But all this is already further in the text.
