MSI MAG B560 TOMAHAWK WIFI – itndaily

June 14, 2021 by Stephen

What else do you need to know about the MSI MAG B560 Tomahawk WIFI? The device has a serious power subsystem (12 + 2 + 1) and two whole connectors (8 + 4-pin) for feeding the CPU. In our opinion, this is too much, because it is not possible to overclock any processor using this modification (this option is not supported by the chipset).
The MSI MAG B560 Tomahawk WIFI does not have hot buttons for turning on and restarting the PC, as well as the POST indicator. But on the other hand, the board has LEDs (CPU, DRAM, VGA and Boot), which help to identify a problem at the start, if any.

ASRock B550 TAICHI RAZER EDITION- i2Hard

June 8, 2021 by Stephen

In this review, we will tell you about an unusual board that was born thanks to the efforts of companies such as ASRock and Ryzer. We are talking about the ASRock B550 Taichi Razer Edition , which is intended for Ryzen 5000 series processors. We will test with an eight-core Ryzen 7 5800X and a set of G.Skill Trident Z Royal DDR4-4266 RAM. Let’s examine the overclocking abilities of the B550 Taichi Razer Edition in terms of overclocking the processor and RAM, as well as look at the RGB lighting and BIOS capabilities.

NZXT N7 Z590 – GameRevolution

June 7, 2021 by Stephen

Opening up the oversized NZXT N7 Z590 box immediately greeted me with the super clean black design. After reviewing both the N7 Z490 and N7 B550, you would think I’d no longer be surprised by the aesthetic, but once again I took a moment to appreciate the metal cover design. It’s also available in white, as usual, making it one of the best options for any all-white or Stormtrooper-style builds.

NZXT N7 B550 – PurePC

May 22, 2022June 6, 2021 by Stephen

Currently, NZXT uses the help of ASRock, one of the big four motherboard manufacturers, therefore the NZXT N7 B550 represents a kind of new opening, also with a view to the debut in the AMD sector. A characteristic feature of all NZXT models is a grille covering most of the laminate, usually available in two colors (black or white), although the manufacturer also had special editions, among others referring to the Fallout universe.

NZXT N7 Z590 – Windows Central

June 4, 2021 by Stephen

The core specification list has largely gone unaltered. There’s still support for 10th and 11th Gen processors, as well as four DDR4 DIMM slots that can hold up to 128GB RAM with speeds of up to 4266MHz. There are two M.2 slots, four SATA ports, two full-size PCIe x16 expansion slots, and a further three PCIe x1 slots.
Just like the N7 Z490, there’s even a pre-installed Wi-Fi M.2 card, which can later be upgraded if you want faster wireless, and it’s now Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6E. Other than that, you can expect to see a few more USB 3.x ports on the rear I/O, as well as a few more layers to the PCB, allowing for more complex circuitry for all the additional functionality.

NZXT N7 Z590 – Tom’s Hardware

June 4, 2021 by Stephen

Performance-wise, the N7 Z590 did well overall. Its results traded punches with the other boards in most tests. Like the Steel Legend it’s modeled from, this board follows Intel specifications, and in a couple of tests (Handbrake, Cinebench/POV-Ray single thread), the times/scores were lower than the others. To bypass that, simply adjust the power limits up, as the other boards do from the factory. The N7 board set our DDR4 3600 sticks at 1:1 with the memory controller, and we saw solid results in our memory bandwidth and latency tests.

NZXT N7 Z590 – TweakTown

June 4, 2021 by Stephen

NZXT has had solid success with these platforms, perhaps more than most give them credit for; starting with Z390, we are now in the 3rd generation of the Intel platform solution, and the Z590 motherboard is a solid entry.
That said, it’s only the second Z590 motherboard we have had in house that doesn’t support Thunderbolt at all. NZXT looks to make that up by outfitting this solution with a host of USB connectivity. They certainly didn’t disappoint in that regard; they also didn’t skimp on networking bringing over the RTL8125BG and AX210 from the N7 B550 from earlier in the year.

NZXT N7 Z590 – Overclocking

June 4, 2021 by Stephen

This new card remains of course in the spirit of “NZXT” with a variation in black or white associated with its armor which conceals a large part of the PCB. Before starting this article, you should keep in mind that this card is designed to be ideally located in a full NZXT configuration . As you will be able to discover during our test, the motherboard has many connectors implanted within the PCB and compatible with the other components offered by the brand. The design is also conceived in the spirit of NZXT and will be a good basis for those who decide to go through the modding box .

ASUS ProArt B550-CREATOR – GreenTech_Reviews

June 4, 2021 by Stephen

ASUS ProArt B550-Creator is the second representative of the ProArt series among motherboards. The first one appeared last year and was designed to use 10th generation Intel Core processors (and already supports 11th generation). If in the case of Intel, the manufacturer made some compromises, but the heroine of this material uses the functionality of the processor and chipset to the maximum. Yes, this is an “average” AMD B550 chipset, but there are plenty of slots, ports and connectors to build a high-performance workstation for almost any task that does not require a lot of processor configuration. What came of this and are there any restrictions – we read right now.
