January 3, 2022 by Stephen

We will end our tour of Asus motherboards from the “ROG Maximus Z690” series with the ultimate version, the Extreme Glacial model. If last week, we offered you the test of the ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme, this “Glacial” model also benefits from a full water block designed by the company EK. This waterblock will be responsible for keeping your CPU, the power supply stage, your SSD as well as the chipset cool . This model will therefore use the excellent PCB as well as the many connectors of the Extreme version while optimizing the cooling of the various components. A collaboration between

BIOSTAR Z690 VALKYRIE – El Chapuzas Informatico

We extract the Biostar Z690 Valkyrie from all its packaging and we find ourselves before a motherboard with a conventional design in terms of the PCB, but with oversized and aggressively designed heatsinks for the VRM and the M.2 that facilitate their cooling. It is true that this aesthetic is not usually the most successful in these parts, but for color tastes.

ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING WIFI II – i2Hard

December 29, 2021 by Stephen

The use of the hot AMD X570 chipset in motherboards for the AMD AM4 platform is reflected in their overall design, in which manufacturers use active cooling of the chipset. However, now on the market you can find motherboards based on the updated AMD X570S chipset (the name still uses AMD X570), which has lower power consumption and for which, as a result, the use of passive cooling systems is sufficient. These include the ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING WIFI II motherboard, which, as the name suggests, is part of the ROG STRIX gaming series and offers users very good features.

MSI MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR4 – NewEsc

But leaving aside the non-enlightenment. The most interesting thing about this board is possibly the type of memory it uses, I am talking about the well-known DDR4 memory. For this, the Tomahawk has 4 slots that support up to 128Gb in total and that support speeds of up to 5200MHz with overclock . Although, as you already know, depending on the memory that is installed, this speed can be very different.

MSI MEG X570S Ace Max, belongs to MSI’s flagship series motherboard. What is more interesting is that it is positioned in MSI’s X570S series, but its essence is the X570 chipset. The most obvious difference is that the X570S series chipset uses a fanless The heat dissipation scheme eliminates the problem of noise generation and dust accumulation of the fan. As for other parameter configurations, let us take a look at it next.

Even if the availability of the WLAN version (Z690 Steel Legend WiFi 6E) doesn’t look good at the moment, the manufacturer ASRock has included two variants in its range. But even the non-WLAN edition costs around 300 euros. For this purchase price, in addition to further PCIe slots, there is also one PCIe 5.0 x16, three M.2 M-Key interfaces, eight SATA 6 GBit/s sockets and of course a 2.5 GBit/s LAN Port. For the eye, the ATX motherboard also includes RGB LED lighting in three places, which form ASRock’s Polychrome RGB feature.

The motherboard is based on a black 10-layer mini-ITX PCB. In the design, elements of black and gray are mainly used, except that on the rear panel you can see other colors in the design of the I / O ports. Even with a cursory examination, it is easy to identify the differences from its predecessor – a different arrangement of some ports, an updated design of radiators and a completely different “sandwich” in the chipset area.

MSI MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR4 – 3DNews

The cost of MSI MAG Z690 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 in Russian stores is 25 thousand rubles, and the version with DDR5 memory support is only one thousand rubles more expensive. This is a low price level for motherboards based on the Intel Z690 chipset. Yes, there are models that cost 16-17 thousand rubles each, but their capabilities, to put it mildly, are rather modest.

For sound, it is managed by the Realtek ALC4080 7.1 high-definition codec, with jack detection, S/PDIF optical output and premium Japanese capacitors. Other aspects are the flash bios button or the reset button that allows us to reboot the board, although they are undoubtedly a better option for external connections.
