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.

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.

MSI MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI – Overclockers Russia

May 21, 2022February 10, 2022 by Stephen

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.

MSI MEG Z690I UNIFY – Chiphell

May 22, 2022February 5, 2022 by Stephen

Thanks to the good performance of the 12th-generation Intel Core processor, the demand for Z690 chipset motherboards has also increased, becoming one of the options for players to upgrade their hardware platforms in the near future. The MSI MEG Z690I Unify motherboard for evaluation this time belongs to MSI The MEG Unify series, the Mini-ITX motherboard, is positioned at the flagship level. The Unify series, as an “old acquaintance” in the evaluation on the site, will be different this time, let’s take a look at it next.

MSI MEG Z690 ACE – Overclockers Ukraine

May 21, 2022February 4, 2022 by Stephen

Pushing Alder Lake’s flagship processors to their limits will require more than just a bit of luck, you’ll also need efficient cooling and, of course, a high-end motherboard. A reinforced 22-phase power subsystem, a serious cooling system, readiness to work at low temperatures, as well as a huge body kit that the EATX form factor required for itself. And all this in MSI MEG Z690 Ace.

MSI MPG Z690 CARBON EK X – Hardwareluxx

May 22, 2022February 4, 2022 by Stephen

In close cooperation with EKWB, MSI has now included the MPG Z690 CARBON EK X in its range in addition to the MAG Z690 TORPEDO EK X, which is particularly suitable if the interested party has planned custom water cooling. However, the addition of the water cooler also increases the price again: MSI gave us a price of 699 euros as an RRP, in retail this is at least 660 euros a little below that. With the MSI MPG Z590 CARBON EK X (Hardwareluxx test) , we already had a problem with the predecessor, so we’re excited to see what the new edition has to offer.

MSI MAG B660M MORTAR WIFI DDR4 – PC Gamer

February 1, 2022 by Stephen

Everything that you would actually want from a solid, mainstream gaming PC is present and correct here. There’s a full, reinforced x16 PCIe 4.0 slot for the GPU, another full length slot running at x4, and then a final, short x1 PCIe 3.0 slot. Few of us overclock, so that’s not really a miss here, and few have more than one M.2 SSD either. The fact you get a pair of PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots for your drives (one from the chipset and one from your Alder Lake CPU) will be plenty for most users.

MSI MAG X570S TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI – itndaily

February 1, 2022 by Stephen

MSI MAG X570S Tomahawk Max WIFI is a top-end product, and by definition it cannot be cheap. Even despite the fact that the passive CO used here noticeably heats up, and there is nothing supernatural and original on the board (in relation to interfaces, functionality, etc.).
Not in favor of MSI MAG X570S Tomahawk Max WIFI and the fact that more and more budget motherboards are compatible with Ryzen 5000 processors, which means there are not so many reasons to choose a profile product in 2022.
