ASUS TUF GAMING H670-PRO WIFI D4 – GreenTech_Reviews

by

TUF motherboard designs vary from model to model. In our case, this is a black and gray color scheme with rare yellow accents. It is based on a 6-layer black printed circuit board. Unlike the previous model (TUF Gaming H570-Pro), many changes are immediately visible regarding the number of expansion slots, the power subsystem and its cooling system, and, of course, the processor socket itself. The slots for RAM modules remain the same, since the board is only compatible with DDR4 modules.

by

Like many other products of the ROG series, the appearance of the board is good, however, a little later it turns out that a lot of plastic was used in the design. Of the curiosities, the button to open the latch of the PCI-E x16 slot, as well as the Velcro clamp in the chipset area, which is designed to help in cable management, will definitely make you pay attention. The textolite is partially hidden behind the M.2 cooling radiators.

ASUS PRIME Z690-P – Overclockers Russia

by

I have already reviewed one inexpensive model from ASUS, namely the Prime Z690-A, but not everyone appreciated that this is a budget device. Only when affordable boards based on the Intel H610 chipset and models like the Maximus Z690 Extreme Glacial began to appear in retail did many come to their senses and realize that prices had risen and the Ryzen 5 3600 was no longer on the shelves for 10,000 rubles.

ASRock Z690 Taichi – HardwareCooking

by

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.

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 TORPEDO EK X – Professional Review

by

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.

At first glance, it looks like a simple low-priced motherboard, including a small heat sink around the power supply. However, the configuration is a total of 9 phases of digital circuits that combine premium chokes, etc., and can be said to another topic is that it has powerful network functions such as support for 2.5 Gigabit LAN and Wi-Fi 6.
