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 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. 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 pin at the socket.

March 30, 2021 by Stephen

Gigabyte has gone with a 10-layer PCB which is more than you will find on most motherboards, especially mini-ITX ones. Combine this with the 90A Phases, plenty of thermal reducing options and you’ve got yourself a worthy ITX board. We all know AORUS is aimed more at the premium side of things and they surely have not let us down. Trying to fit everything you want on an ITX board is a feat all of its own, but to do that and keep with the high-quality components really shows the lengths Gigabyte went through when designing the Z590I AORUS ULTRA.
