NZXT N7 Z590 – Windows Central

by

The core specification list has largely gone unaltered. There’s still support for 10th and 11th Gen processors, as well as four DDR4 DIMM slots that can hold up to 128GB RAM with speeds of up to 4266MHz. There are two M.2 slots, four SATA ports, two full-size PCIe x16 expansion slots, and a further three PCIe x1 slots.

Just like the N7 Z490, there’s even a pre-installed Wi-Fi M.2 card, which can later be upgraded if you want faster wireless, and it’s now Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6E. Other than that, you can expect to see a few more USB 3.x ports on the rear I/O, as well as a few more layers to the PCB, allowing for more complex circuitry for all the additional functionality.

NZXT N7 Z590 – Tom’s Hardware

by

Performance-wise, the N7 Z590 did well overall. Its results traded punches with the other boards in most tests. Like the Steel Legend it’s modeled from, this board follows Intel specifications, and in a couple of tests (Handbrake, Cinebench/POV-Ray single thread), the times/scores were lower than the others. To bypass that, simply adjust the power limits up, as the other boards do from the factory. The N7 board set our DDR4 3600 sticks at 1:1 with the memory controller, and we saw solid results in our memory bandwidth and latency tests.

NZXT N7 Z590 – TweakTown

by

NZXT has had solid success with these platforms, perhaps more than most give them credit for; starting with Z390, we are now in the 3rd generation of the Intel platform solution, and the Z590 motherboard is a solid entry.

That said, it’s only the second Z590 motherboard we have had in house that doesn’t support Thunderbolt at all. NZXT looks to make that up by outfitting this solution with a host of USB connectivity. They certainly didn’t disappoint in that regard; they also didn’t skimp on networking bringing over the RTL8125BG and AX210 from the N7 B550 from earlier in the year.

NZXT N7 Z590 – Overclocking

by

This new card remains of course in the spirit of “NZXT” with a variation in black or white associated with its armor which conceals a large part of the PCB. Before starting this article, you should keep in mind that this card is designed to be ideally located in a full NZXT configuration . As you will be able to discover during our test, the motherboard has many connectors implanted within the PCB and compatible with the other components offered by the brand. The design is also conceived in the spirit of NZXT and will be a good basis for those who decide to go through the modding box .

ASUS ProArt B550-CREATOR – GreenTech_Reviews

by

ASUS ProArt B550-Creator is the second representative of the ProArt series among motherboards. The first one appeared last year and was designed to use 10th generation Intel Core processors (and already supports 11th generation). If in the case of Intel, the manufacturer made some compromises, but the heroine of this material uses the functionality of the processor and chipset to the maximum. Yes, this is an “average” AMD B550 chipset, but there are plenty of slots, ports and connectors to build a high-performance workstation for almost any task that does not require a lot of processor configuration. What came of this and are there any restrictions – we read right now.

ASUS ROG STRIX B560-I GAMING WIFI – itndaily

by

The heart of the ASUS ROG Strix B560-I Gaming WIFI motherboard is the Intel B560 chipset, which is compatible with 11th Gen Intel Core (Socket LGA 1200) and PCIe 4.0. However, the main feature of the chipset is the ability to overclock the RAM . Now, to unleash the potential of high-frequency modules, it is not necessary to purchase a top-end platform based on the Z590.

ASUS ROG Strix B560-I Gaming WIFI is the perfect base for a compact gaming system or multimedia center. And all because the kit includes a smart Wi-Fi adapter that forms a reinforced concrete connection at home, in addition, the device has a lot of the most diverse “sockets” and demanded interfaces. Let’s talk about them in more detail.

GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS PRO AX – KitGuru

by

We applaud Gigabyte for using a VRM that is high quality and practically bulletproof, however we wish they had given more consideration to the overall package. While we would like to see Wi-Fi 6e, POST code debug and micro buttons we understand those features would add extra cost. On the other hand it would surely cost nothing to give the BIOS an overhaul and ditch those anonymous Auto settings that tell the user practically nothing about the inner workings of this enthusiast motherboard.

GIGABYTE B560M AORUS ELITE – eTeknix

by

The B560M AORUS ELITE is an affordable way to be able to use Intel’s latest 11th Gen CPUs. Offering great performance at an affordable price while not diminishing on quality and design. The M-ATX form factor is going to allow for slightly smaller builds overall vs ATX but it still has dual PCIe x16 slots and two M.2 slots as well. While it may only have a single Gen4 slot of each, this should be enough for most current users wanting to make the leap to the latest Intel platform. Overall the smaller M-ATX form factor hasn’t missed out on much that the bigger boards would have, and performance is still on point as well.

MSI MAG Z590 TORPEDO – HardwareBBQ

by

The MSI MAG Z590 TORPEDO is made for the LGA 1200 Intel Core i5/ Core i7/ and Core i9 11th generation Rocket Lake-S processors, depending on the pricing against the currently dominating AMD Ryzen platform. Motherboard combos play a vital role in decision making with the CPUs. This is not an exception. While you do not get the WiFi option in this, you do get PCIe 4.0 lane support with the 11th gen CPU, Type A on the rear and front- and a decent amount of USB ports.

MSI X570S TOMAHAWK MAX & X570S TORPEDO MAX Pictured

by

Starting off with the MSI X570S Tomahawk Max, we are looking at a slightly refreshed design scheme with the major change being the passive cooled X570 PCH. The motherboard still carries the same number of I/O and heatsinks but one thing that might have seen another slight update is the CPU power delivery. We don’t have exact information at the moment but it does look like it has been modified just a slight bit to provide better-overclocking support on AMD’s Ryzen 5000 Desktop line of processors.
