March 2021 – Motherboard Review

ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-E GAMING WIFI – eTeknix

March 31, 2021 by Stephen

I have absolutely no qualms about the quality or design of the Z590-E. ASUS has been at this a long time as we all know the ROG and STRIX branding brings a certain expectation of quality and design with it. With a 6-Layer PCB design, 14+2 Power Stages and a built-in Digi+ VRM, ASUS have covered your power and overclocking needs effectively. As we saw, there are also FAN/AIO/PUMP 4pin headers on this board meaning ASUS have you covered for whichever type of CPU cooling you want to go with.

GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS PRO AX – eTeknix

March 31, 2021 by Stephen

For our 3rd Gigabyte AORUS Z590 motherboard review, we have their PRO AX variant. This motherboard is going to be chock-full of features and will come at a more reasonable price compared to some. Now, we already know the AORUS line of products brings both performance and quality to the table and from what we have seen with their Z590 boards so far, they are staying true to this. Offering the best of both worlds is always important so it will be interesting to see if Gigabyte can keep this going with their Z590 AORUS PRO AX.

GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS XTREME – MadBoxPC

March 31, 2021 by Stephen

As part of GIGABYTE’s most powerful motherboards in their AORUS series, the electrical system is a point that takes much of the dedication in this specimen. With a 20 + 1 configuration in its digital power phases and that also each one with 100A DrMOS achieves a high stability base for extreme scenarios, especially for overclockers with low 0 cooling, thus it also distributes the load in more phases which decreases temperature.

The beauty benefits from a worked dress, reinforced mechanics and muscular equipment. The bundle offers several “extras” and the equipment meets demanding needs, in particular on the network and cooling side. On this point, we find for example Thermal Ractive Armor, a nanocarbon base and three Thermal Guard II.
The beautiful offers customization options through RGB zones or a multifunction reset button. We offer you a complete test of this reference equipped with Intel’s latest showcase, the Core i9-11900K. Is it up to its 899 €?

GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS TACHYON – Overclocking

March 31, 2021 by Stephen

This new “Tachyon” is perhaps the basis of a new series of motherboards dedicated to overclocking in the AORUS range. To be sure, we will have to reach a new chipset to see if we find this name again. This AORUS Tachyon is built around Intel’s new chipset , the Z590. 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 pinat the socket level .

ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-E GAMING WIFI – GreenTech Reviews

March 31, 2021 by Stephen

ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-E Gaming WiFi is a mid-range motherboard (Intel Z590-based variants) based on top-notch components and an impressive array of useful features. It has an advanced power subsystem (like the Maximus XIII Hero) with an active cooling system (if you install the complete fan yourself), which allows you not to worry about overheating when the processor is running, even when overclocked. Compared to its predecessor, the novelty received not just a visual update and a couple of new functions, but radically differs on all fronts – we have much more various slots, ports and interfaces at our disposal, and some of them are characterized by at least twice the speed of work.

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO – Xtreme Hardware

March 31, 2021 by Stephen

The ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO is the beginning of the climb to even more complete and sophisticated models as well as, alas, expensive. The ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO really offers many features and allows a 360-degree use. To name a few features, it comes with 4 slots for M.2 SSDs,2 PCI-Express x16 slots now and finally 4.0 to counter AMD albeit late, 3 ARGB headers, a 14 + 2 phase power section with a dissipation entrusted to heavy but refined aluminum heatsinks. In short, the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO is a motherboard to discover without doing too much talk then Let’s Go.

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO – GreenTech Reviews

The scope of delivery is not very large, but you can find everything you need and even more in it. A set of new branded stickers, a metal sticker, a disc with drivers and software, a user manual, a card with information about the ROG series, four SATA cables, two adapters for RGB tapes of different types, an adapter for simplifying the connection of cables for the front panel of the case, a fabric logo keychain and metal holder for a video card. An external antenna with an updated design for the pre-installed Intel Wi-Fi 6E module is located in a separate box.

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII APEX – Overclocking

March 31, 2021 by Stephen

Let’s start the owner’s tour with the radiators of which there are four! First, the three radiators located on the top of the motherboard and which surrounds the socket. The two most imposing cover the supply floor. These two radiators are connected by a heat pipe.
A third, smaller, and also connected via a heat pipe is responsible for keeping the dedicated power supply stage for VCCSA / VCCIO cool. We are here on a completely passive system. The radiator bearing the name APEX is composed of two parts and hides under the upper part a slot for an M2 PCIe 4.0 type SSD.

MSI MEG Z590 ACE – Overclocking

March 31, 2021 by Stephen

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.
