The Z590 TORPEDO is going to have most of the features users will want from the new 11th Gen processors when paired with the Z590 chipset. There are three M.2 slots of which one is PCIe 4.0, support for DDR4 RAM up to 128GB and 5,333MHz when overclocked, HDMI 2.0 and much, much more. When it comes to performance, don’t let that lower than most price tags fool you, the Z590 TORPEDO is ready to compete with the big boys and it does!

We see the same colour scheme on the MEG Z590 ACE as we did on the MSI MEG Z490 ACE. The same black and gold aesthetic with a slightly different style language is used here. The packaging holds no punches in screaming out about PCIe Gen 4.0. The RGB elements have been toned down comparatively. We have a new RGB dragon logo on the rear I/O shroud and another one tacked onto the PCH heatsink. That being said, all the connectors for the different RGB ecosystems are all present so no matter which RGB ecosystem you go with, you should be able to make it work without any trouble.

This MSI MEG Z590 ACE board features 16 + 2 phase 90A Renesas ISL99390B power supplies (VRM) with an ISL69269 controller with eight layers of PCB. The socket is supplied with 8 + 8 pins and is reinforced to allow a more stable current. We have three PCIe 3.0 x16 slots and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots. Of course we find compatibility with the 2-Way SLI from NVIDIA and 3-Way Crossfire for AMD. We also have four M.2 SSD slots, all pre-fitted with a heat sink.

This MSI MEG Z590 ACE is built around Intel’s new chipset , the Z590. It is part of the “MSI MEG” series which represents the top of the range of the brand. This motherboard retains the LGA-1200 socket from the Z490 chipset which will allow you to reuse your cooling system if you wish to upgrade your configuration. As a reminder, the LGA-1200 socket is different from the LGA-1151 since we go from 1151 pin to 1200 pin at the socket.

We peek at the all-new MSI MEG Z590 ACE motherboard; this socket LGA1200 and Z590 chipset-based product offers an updated infrastructure for your Comet Lake (10th gen) or Rocket Lake (11th gen) Intel processor. We’ll check it out with the Core i9 11900K, bringing PCIe Gen 4.0 to the platform as well. All Comet Lake and Rocket Lake generation processors are supported on this board; it’s about performance and aesthetics. Dual 8-pin connectors feed the CPU, and for VRM design, this motherboard has 18+2+1 phases backed by 90A power stages. MSI applies a familiar dark shielded design.

As previously mentioned, the MSI MPG Z590 Carbon EK X is based on the MSI MPG Z590 Gaming Carbon WiFi model with an EKWB monoblock. No other modifications have been made to the laminate – the layout of the elements is identical in both cases. Although it is theoretically only average among designs using the Intel Z590 chipset, it turns out to be really well-equipped with, among others, on board.

Coming in at £311/$355 at the time of writing this, the MSI MPG Z590 Gaming Carbon WIFI has quite a lot to offer for the price. As with most PC components, motherboard prices are creeping up these days. While this isn’t the cheapest Z590 board, it offers plenty of bang for the buck and has some additional features that others don’t. Looking at similarly priced boards from competitors, this one has a couple of extra features that aren’t seen on all making the cost just that much more bearable.

MSI has spared no expense when it comes to the quality and design of this board. As for quality, the Z590 ACE has plenty of heatsinks, M.2 shields and cooling solutions so you can push all your hardware to its absolute limits. Design-wise, we have a ridiculous amount of features incorporated into the board, again, allow users to push everything as far as they physically can. MSI’s MEG ACE boards are only a small step down from their Godlike range but feature a lot of the same great quality and design.

The MSI Performance Gaming line, or “MPG” for short, from MSI is generally pitched as the middle ground between the no-holds-barred MEG line and more value-oriented MAG line. The MSI MPG Z590 Carbon EK X is an exception. Developed in partnership with and distributed by EKWB, the MSI MPG Z590 Carbon EK X features a monoblock for CPU and VRM cooling as well as all the tools you need to integrate it into your custom water-cooling build.
The MSI MPG Z590 Carbon EK X features a 16-phase Vcore VRM on a 6-layer PCB. There is also 2.5 Gb/s LAN and built-in WiFi 6E, as well as three M.2 slot heatsinks and even a physical RGB LED off switch. EK is including a leak test kit with the MSI MPG Z590 Carbon EK X, so you can build with confidence.

The MSI Enthusiast Gaming, or MEG for short, line of motherboards represents the best of the best MSI has to offer. Last year’s Z490 MEG line offered some of the best overclocking available on an Intel platform. Memory overclocking was particularly noteworthy due to such innovations as MSI’s tabbed memory trace layout. Those same innovations return on MSI’s new Z590 lineup with even more refinement. The MSI MEG Z590 ACE features a massive 19-phase VRM with top of the line 90 A power stages and a robust VRM cooling solution, four M.2 slots, Thunderbolt 4, and a plethora of overclocking features. The MSI MEG Z590 ACE has a premium spec sheet, let’s see if there is premium performance to match!
