MSI MEG Z690 UNIFY – ITHardware

by

In the visual sphere, MSI MEG Z690 UNIFY, like its predecessor, MEG Z590 UNIFY, is based on a subdued color palette with a dominant share of black and no LEDs (except for diagnostic ones). The lack of multi-colored illumination, present in almost every design, is the hallmark of this line and it is undoubtedly good that such products still appear – after all, not all are fans of RGB lighting. Moving on, the board invariably has a powerful and well-cooled power section, which this time is even more powerful, because instead of 16 phases with 90 A transistors, MSI applied 19 phases with MOSFETs with a load capacity of 105 A – all using Renesas components.

MSI MEG X570S ACE MAX – Professional Review

by

With the premiere of the Alder Lake platform, MSI still has time to launch real gems like this MSI MEG X570S ACE MAX . It is the best board optimized for Ryzen 5000 with permission from the GODLIKE, with important improvements such as its VRM of 16 + 9 phases of 90A , 4 integrated M.2 PCIe 4.0 slots along with an expansion card with two M.2 Additional features. The external appearance has been considerably refined, more elegant and with better heatsinks especially in the Chipset and VRM section without giving up lighting areas .

MSI MPG Z690 CARBON WIFI – MMORPG

by

The Z690 Carbon WiFi is one of MSI’s launch motherboards and comes equipped with a rich feature set, plenty of I/O, and enough connectivity for even thorough power users. What it won’t have is advanced support for extreme overclocking but at its midrange price of $399, that’s understandable, expected, and not something most users will attempt anyway. It features a sleek, RGB-enabled design that should work well in most PC cases.

MSI MAG Z590 TORPEDO – The FPS Review

by

This motherboard has three M.2 slots and six SATA 6Gb/s ports, for great storage expandability.  The M2_1 slot is connected directly to the CPU and is able to achieve PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe performance with 11th Gen Intel CPUs.  Otherwise, it will run at PCIe 3.0 with 10th Gen Intel CPUs.  The two other M.2 slots, M2_2 and M2_3 have their lanes pulling from the Z590 chipset and therefore only support up to PCIe 3.0 x4 no matter what.

MSI MPG Z690 CARBON WIFI – iXBT

by

The hero of this review is the MSI MPG Z690 Carbon WiFi . That is, a motherboard from the MPG (MSI Performance Gaming) family, which does not belong to the top (all flagships are in the MEG family), but is still a very powerful tool for a modern PC, having all the wide capabilities both in terms of a set of peripherals and software. nutritional opportunities.

MSI MEG Z690 UNIFY – eTeknix

by

It’s certainly well equipped and comes with a suite of features to get the best performance from the new range of CPUs. There’s a 19+2 Phase design with 105A Power Stage, combined with massive heatsinks and armoured hardware to ensure the best performance. There are five M.2 mounts, all supporting PCIe Gen 4, and some large double-sided Shield Frozr coolers for those too. There’s a pair of PCIe 5.0 slots too, giving you impressive future-proofing.

MSI MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR4 – eTeknix

by

While this is one of the more affordable Z690 gaming motherboards we’ve got in the office, it’s still pretty well equipped. It’s more on the high-end of the mid-range motherboards. Thankfully, that should be reflected with a reasonable price tag too. It’ll make good use of DDR4, support speeds of up to 5200 MHz. There’s a decent 16+1+1 Duet Rail Power Stage design, with PWM IC and a 70A Smart Power Stage. However, it’s the connectivity that looks even better, with PCIe Gen 5 and Gen 4 support, the latest USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, Audio Boost 5, 2.5 Gbps LAN and the ultra-fast Intel Wi-Fi 6.

The MSI MPG Z690 Carbon WiFi motherboard is here at last, and while I brought you a preview last week, today is the full review, with those oh-so-important performance figures! Of course, it’s a bigger deal than just a new motherboard, as this is the launch of the new Z690 motherboards, which feature the latest LGA1700 socket for the new 12th Gen Intel Core processors (Alder Lake). These new CPUs and the new Z6690 chipset bring a suite of new options too, such as the latest DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0, M.2 PCIe 4.0 storage, Thunderbolt 4, Intel WiFi 6 and more!

MSI MPG Z590 GAMING EDGE WIFI – Professional Review

by

Like the Carbon series, this MSI MPG Z590 Gaming Edge WiFi is one of the boards that knocks on the doors of the high-end range with a slightly more accessible price without giving up a striking aesthetic with RGB and a wide connectivity kit . In it we find 3 M.2 slots, one of them PCIe 4.0, Wi-Fi 6E , an ALC4080 sound card and a 20 Gbps USB Gen2x2 port. To support the more powerful Rocket Lake CPU and OC a good VRM of 14 + 1 + 1 phases of 75A in Double Rail has been equipped that works wonderfully.

MSI MEG Z690 UNIFY – TweakTown

by

With the MEG Unify, MSI has deployed a rather robust solution that is packed with high-end features that include PCIe Gen 5 on the top two PCIe Slots, USB 3.2 Gen2x2 both on the rear I/O and internally via header. It also manages to host four m.2 slots, dual 2.5Gbe, Wi-Fi 6e, and support for 128GB of 6600MHz+ memory.
