MSI MEG Z690 UNIFY – El Chapuzas Informatico

by

In the upper we find the new LGA 1700 that supports processors Intel Alder Lake of 12th Generation , being slightly elongated in the previous generation. Around it, we have a powerful VRM of 19 + 2 phases of 105A controlled by the so-called Digital Smart Power Stage . These in turn take power from two 8-pin ATX connectors , very necessary for the high consumption of the new Intel Core i9-12900K . Equally necessary is the large aluminum heatsink that covers the VRM, connected both areas with a heatpipe .

by

Choosing a relatively cheap Z690 board with DDR4 memory would allow you to save a few dollars at the moment – especially if you use RAM from an older computer. The most attractive model from Intel’s stable at the moment seems to be the Core i5-12600K, which even with DDR4 should impress with its capabilities. When you put down a few pennies, after a while you can simply replace the board with a model that supports DDR5.
