MSI MPG Z690 EDGE WIFI DDR4 – Overclockers

May 21, 2022February 11, 2022 by Stephen

The DDR4 version of the MPG Z690 EDGE supports the twelfth generation Intel processors using the LGA 1700 socket. The board boasts an 18-phase (16+1+1) VRMS to handle the power requirements of the flagship 24-thread Intel Core i9-12900K. To cool the VRM, MSI uses two large milled aluminum heat sinks connected with a heat pipe. We have 7 W/mK thermal pads on the MOSFETs and the chokes to ensure good contact and heat dissipation. Also helping with heat dissipation is a 6-layer PCB made from IT-170 server-grade PCB material and 2 oz thickened copper.

ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI – Tom’s Hardware

February 10, 2022 by Stephen

Asus’ ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WIFI hails from the upper mid-range segment of Z690 motherboards. And yes, what constitutes mid-range these days is quite a bit higher than it used to be. Priced at $469.99, the Z690-E Gaming WIFI isn’t cheap, but it’s one of the least expensive Z690 boards with an integrated PCIe 5.0 M.2 socket. But the Z690-E Gaming is more than just the M.2 socket. It has capable power delivery, a whopping 12 rear USB ports, the latest Realtek audio codec, and an appearance fit for any build theme.

February 10, 2022 by Stephen

In terms of connectivity, high-end motherboard means we are spoiled. Indeed, on the rear connector we can count on the presence of two Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports (40 Gbps) supporting 27 W fast charging technology for mobile devices. We also have two PCIe 5.0 slots in x16 and a third in PCIe 4.0. You can also find a real Type-A USB 3.0 port directly on the motherboard PCB and a non-angled SATA port away from the others on the edge of the card. We have on this Taichi three slots for SSD in M.2 format and all have a heat sink to avoid Thermal Throttling . On the other hand, be careful,no PCIe Gen5 for SSDs , we will be satisfied here with PCIe Gen4.

MSI MEG Z690 UNIFY-X – Overclocking

February 10, 2022 by Stephen

The “Unify” series was launched at the end of 2019 with the excellent MEG X570 Unify that we had the chance to test exclusively. The idea of MSI, with this new series, was to offer a card that goes to the essentials, leaving aside the RGB backlighting, in order to focus mainly on overclocking . Subsequently, it is the test of the MEG B550 Unify that we also had the opportunity to offer you.

We have an ATX motherboard. Its dimensions do not differ from the classic ones and are 305 x 244 mm. The external design is simple and is not remembered by anything, except for the cutout on the right edge. The board itself is dark brown, there are almost no prints, the heatsinks are black and almost without any inscriptions. Only the chipset heatsink says Tomahawk.

MSI MAG Z690 TORPEDO EK X – Professional Review

May 21, 2022February 9, 2022 by Stephen

And the truth is that it makes sense, because it is even cheaper than a high-end Z690, with a 70A 16+1+1 phase VRM that allows you to overclock a 12900K without problems. Given the results of the CARBON EK X, it will be the best opportunity to get the most out of the Alder Lake K series. We also have support for DDR5, 4 M.2 slots, 3 PCIe and USB Gen2x2 . Better or worse option than the Carbon EK X? We will see.
