MSI MEG X570S UNIFY-X MAX – Hardware Mag

by

In addition to various features for overclocking, the motherboard can also come up with fast interfaces. In addition to a 2.5 GbE interface, this also includes USB 3.2 Gen2x2 (Type-C) with a whopping 20 Gbps and several USB 3.2 Gen2 ports (Type-A) with up to 10 Gbps. A total of six PCIe Gen4 ports with Shield Frozr Heatsinks allow a rich mass storage equipment and the best possible cooling of high-end SSDs for lasting high performance. When it comes to cooling, the Unify-X Max pursues a coherent overall concept, because the PCH (“Platform Controller Hub”) of the X570S chipset also dispenses with active cooling and relies on a large-area heat sink.

MSI MEG X570S ACE MAX – NewEsc

by

Unlike its sister with the Z690 chipset, it maintains the ATX dimensions of 305 x 204 mm , with black being the color chosen for the PCB and gray serigraphy. We have well elaborated changes in the shield of the external connections and in the chipset as well as in the heatsinks for M2. The heatsinks for the VRM are kept in black, which is the base color of all the heatsinks and trims. To give it more color we also have obliquely brushed gray. Behind we also have some small heatsinks for the VRM with thermal pads.

by

The ProArt X570-Creator WiFi comes with a few accessories. You get a big bundle of black SATA cables as well as a short DisplayPort cable to use with the board DisplayPort input to go from your GPU to the board for Thunderbolt 4 support. You get a front panel connection helper that lets you wire everything out in the open then plug it all in at once and M.2 screws and rubber pads. The ProArt X570-Creator WiFi comes with a full user guide and a DVD with the software and drivers installed on it as well as a card with a QR code to guide you through installing the Asus Control Center software.

MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE – PCWorld

by

The X570 Godlike does have a chipset fan behind a grill, which can be RPM controlled. It’s positioned lower on the motherboard, so thick graphics cards are less likely to obstruct the airflow. Below it you’ll also find physical buttons for reset and power, which look great and are highly functional design elements.

ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII EXTREME – TechPowerUp

by

The ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme features a powerful 18+2 VRM solution with 20 Texas Instruments power stages rated for 90 A. The jaw-dropping specifications do not stop there, either. Built upon ASUS’s excellent BIOS, the included EZ mode provides an optimal, stress-free experience for configuring the system. The Crosshair VIII Extreme also offers great connectivity with not only WiFi 6E and 10 Gb/s Ethernet, but Thunderbolt 4, and five M.2 slots round out this list. There is just too much to list in a single paragraph. ASUS has even outdone themselves and placed a 2″ LiveDash OLED screen on the motherboard.

ASUS ProArt B660-CREATOR D4 – Guru3D

by

The B660 board is equipped with an LGA 1700 socket and can support the entire line of Intel’s Alder Lake Desktop CPUs. It can house the unlocked lineup all the way up to the Core i9-12900K; however, a preferable option will be to outfit this board with the non-K series processors that launched alongside the B660 series. The ASUS ProArt B660-Creator D4 features an 8-pin + 4-pin connector for powering the CPU socket and is powered by a 12+1 phase digital power supply solution (CPU-only) comprising of 50A SIC654phases paired with a PWM-Controller: ASP2100 / RT3628AE. The motherboard features dark heatsinks above the power supply, providing adequate cooling for the electrical components beneath.

ASRock X570S PG Riptide – TweakTown

by

The X570S PG Riptide offers support for Ryzen 3000,4000 and 5000 series CPUs all on the AM4 socket. Memory support includes DDR4, 2133MHz to 5000MHz across four slots at a max capacity of 128GB. CPU power design is 10-phase 50A, Dr Mos; plenty for overclocking the likes of the 5600X and possibly 5800X as well.

For connectivity, we have one PCIe 4.0 slot shielded at the top, followed by two additional slots coming off the chipset at Gen4 as well. Storage connectivity includes six SATA III connections and two Hyper M.2 slots for Gen4 NVMe drives. Audio has had corners cut with the ALC897 being deployed on this motherboard. However, LAN has been upgraded to the Killer E3100G platform with 2.5Gbe capability.

MSI MEG X570S ACE MAX – TweakTown

by

A few of the key ingredients in this refreshed motherboard come in the form of its thermal capabilities. This includes an enlarged chipset heat sink, full thermal armor for the m.2 slots, and improved heat pipe design for the VRMs. While discussing increased cooling for the VRM, we should also note the new 16+2 power design, an all-digital direct design that uses 90A smart power stages.

On the hardware front, the MEG ACE Max is an AM4 socket, X570 chipset design. This offers a wide range of compatibility with 3000,4000 and 5000 series CPUs. Memory is supported from 2133MHz through 5400 MHz, DDR4, with four slots available.

EVGA X570 DARK – Overclocking

by

Before going into detail about the X570 DARK, let’s take a look back at the “DARK” series. It was in 2013 that EVGA offered the first model, the X79 DARK, which put EVGA back on the right track after disappointing models and above all that lacked follow-up in terms of BIOS. This series will be spearheaded and designed largely by Vince, aka KingPiN, and TiN. Since 2013, EVGA regularly offers unique models that are part of this series. The latest is the EVGA Z690 DARK.
