GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS XTREME – GreenTech_Reviews

by

The motherboard is made on the basis of an 8-layer black PCB in the E-ATX format (30.5 x 27.1 cm), so it is not possible to install it in every “standard case”, taking into account the connectors going to the side (in particular, the 24-pin one). But this is not a problem, because the assembled system is unlikely to be compact – no one will save on the case anymore. This board, after all, belongs to the “maximum possible for enthusiasts” class, not under the table. The design is dominated by black and gray colors with mirrored elements.

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII EXTREME GLACIAL – GreenTech_Reviews

by

ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Extreme Glacial is the flagship of the Maximus XIII series of motherboards, which differs from the “simple” Extreme version by the presence of a water block in the package. Yes, not a simple water block, but a monoblock – it removes heat not only from the processor, but also from its power subsystem, as well as the M.2 chipset drive. In addition, the boards differ in appearance and to some extent in the component base and placement of some elements.

GIGABYTE AMD X570S Board Shows Up in CPU-Z

by

Courtesy of Tum_Apisak, we have the first CPU-Z Validator report of a GIGBAYTE motherboard based off of the AMD X570S.

Details on this yet-to-be-announced X570S chipset are still extremely sparse, but some hope the “S” is for silent. In other words, an X570 on a better process with lower power output and reduced thermals. Check back for more reports as they roll in on AMD’s X570S.

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO – Pokde

by

ASUS offers quite significant improvements with the ROG Maximus XIII Hero to justify the significant price increase over its predecessor. The beefier VRMs, increased number of high speed ports and Thunderbolt 4 are definitely worth the extra cost if you can utilize them. However it does definitely jack up the entry point into the Republic of Gamers, which was already quite high previously.
