ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII EXTREME – GreenTech_Reviews

August 10, 2021 by Stephen

ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Extreme is the flagship of the Maximus XIII series among, so to speak, classic motherboards. There is also a version of Glacial , which differs not only in design (it is made in white), but in the cooling system – its design uses a full-coverage water block, a cooling processor, its power subsystem, a network controller and an SSD-drive, as well as a chipset. And from its predecessor in the face of ROG Maximus XII Extreme, the novelty differs in general in everything, since the requirements of the 11th generation Intel Core processors are radically different from those of the 10th generation. What does the manufacturer offer us and what can be done about it? Let’s find out now!

MSI MPG Z590 GAMING CARBON WIFI – Hardware-Journal

August 3, 2021 by Stephen

The Gaming Carbon has been the top model in the MPG series from MSI for some time. It doesn’t matter which socket or chipset is on the board. The MSI MPG Z590 Gaming Carbon WiFi can also be understood in the same way. For gamers, it should have everything they need and offer slightly upscale features. This time the board has got a twin, so to speak – the MSI MPG Z590 Gaming Force dispenses with the WLAN adapter and is more colorful, but otherwise designed and equipped identically ( see Intel Z590 overview ). The most recent version of the carbon motherboard has reduced its playful character a little, but not completely discarded it.

The AORUS line from Gigabyte spans a broad range of products: laptops, peripherals, and core components. Across the enthusiast spectrum, the AORUS name denotes Gigabyte’s gaming-focused products, with the AORUS motherboard range featuring a consistent naming scheme that includes the Pro, Elite, Ultra, Master, and Extreme motherboards.

An ample helping of USB ports as well as 2.5 Gb/s Ethernet and four M.2 slots promote superior connectivity, while Gigabyte’s signature AORUS styling provides an attractive, neutral platform to build on. The Gigabyte Z590 AORUS Pro AX is promising on paper, so let’s see how it performs in practice!

BIOSTAR Z590I VALKYRIE – Hardware-Journal

July 17, 2021 by Stephen

With the Biostar Z590I Valkyrie , the manufacturer is not only introducing a new series of mainboards, but has also been offering a mini-ITX mainboard with an Intel socket for a long time. When it comes to equipment, you go a slightly different way than usual and actually rely on newer connections and standards. In some points, however, you notice the austerity course a little. The following test clarifies where this shows and what the small board can do.

MSI MPG B560I GAMING EDGE WIFI – Hexus

July 15, 2021 by Stephen

The primary M.2 has a decent, chunky heatsink and is connected to the CPU’s lanes, meaning there’s PCIe 4.0 x4 connectivity for 11th Gen Core chips. A second, uncooled, resides on the back and interfaces with the chipset at PCIe 3.0 x4 speeds. We find it unnecessary to have four SATA ports on a mini-ITX board; two ought to be sacrificed for a third M.2.
Moving on around, it’s a shame that MSI uses the older ALC897 audio codec. Rival Asus ROG Strix B560-I Gaming includes ALC1220 and 20Gbps USB on its price-comparable board.

NZXT N7 Z590 – KitGuru

July 12, 2021 by Stephen

On the face of it this sounds like a reasonable approach but things are not entirely straightforward. For example, the NZXT N7 Z590 supports a full range of RGB headers, however the motherboard itself does not include any integrated RGB. That is a minor matter but the alarm bells start to ring when the aesthetics have been prioritised over performance and good engineering practice. This is particularly true of the plastic covers over the two M.2 slots that act as insulators, rather than heat sinks.

BIOSTAR Z590I VALKYRIE – FunkyKit

July 9, 2021 by Stephen

We don’t often get the chance to review BIOSTAR motherboards, so when the Z590I Valkyrie showed up, we were super excited. This motherboard uses Intel’s latest Z590 chipset and is compatible with all Intel 11th Gen Rocket Lake-S processors. We are hoping that this motherboard will be special, because of its exceptional design and multiple unique features. I hope that this review will answer the question on whether the Z590I Valkyrie from Biostar is a great motherboard, and will it find a home in your next gaming PC?
