Intel Z590 – Page 10 – Motherboard Review

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII EXTREME GLACIAL – HKEPC

May 6, 2021 by Stephen

ROG Maximus XIII Extreme Glacial water-cooled board is on the scene. The hardware specifications are exactly the same as those of Extreme. It also has the best peripheral functions and connectivity. It has also added the ROG Ultrablock full-covered water-cooling in cooperation with EKWB, which can simultaneously power the CPU and VRM. The PCH chip, 10G Ethernet chip, and M.2 SSD provide heat dissipation. The system can maintain low temperature operation even under high load. For players who like self-assembled water cooling and pursue the ultimate performance, this motherboard is absolutely impeccable.

MSI MPG Z590 CARBON EK X – eTeknix

May 6, 2021 by Stephen

The MSI MPG Z590 CARBON EK X has a lot more to offer feature-wise than just the amazing EK CPU Block that it comes with! Being on the latest Intel Chipset, Z590, the CARBON EK X can also offer support for things like WiFi 6e, PCIe Gen4 and much more. Unfortunately, as with all of the Z590 boards we have seen, the PCIe Gen4 only works when using an 11th Gen CPU. It would have been nice to see some Gen 4 slots run off the chipset, but Intel seems to have given this a miss this time around.

GIGABYTE Z590 VISION G – FunkyKit

May 4, 2021 by Stephen

We are back this time with a Z590 motherboard! This one is also from Gigabyte and if you remember from the last review of the Z490 AORUS Master I was really excited to be able to try both motherboards with the new Intel i9 11900K processor. I faced a few challenges with the Z490. Most of that challenge was the RAM. I was struggling to get anything to run over 4000MHz. I hoped that it was the chipset and not a weak Memory controller on the processor. That is one of the first things I am going to try when I get this motherboard up and running. Because I can’t be sure either way until I try this new i9 on a Z590 chipset. So until then we will continue with all the details of the Z590 VISION G we have before us.

Ok, well there is also a flexible pre-installed I/O Shield, Metal backplate, XXL VRM Heatsink with active cooling, and even a GPU support brace. With such an impressive resume, it should perform well, so let’s go find out how it does!

ASRock Z590 PG Velocita – Tom’s Hardware

May 3, 2021 by Stephen

The Z590 PG Velocita is an iterative update, just like most other Z590-based motherboards. The latest version uses a Killer-based 2.5 GbE and Wi-Fi 6E network stack, adds a front panel USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port, premium Realtek audio codec (though it is last generation’s flagship), three M.2 sockets and more. We’ll dig into these details and other features below. But first, here are the full specs from ASRock.

GIGABYTE Z590 VISION G – Tom’s Hardware

April 30, 2021 by Stephen

Gigabyte’s Z590 Vision G has all the parts you expect from a mid-range motherboard. Features are plentiful, from its unique appearance and distinctive VRM heatsink design to the high-end audio solution. We find an Intel-based 2.5 GbE LAN on the networking side, while on the storage front, there’s an astounding four M.2 sockets (three PCIe 4.0 x4), along with the standard six SATA ports. On the audio side, the Vision G uses the latest premium Realtek ALC4080 codec, supporting DTS:X Ultra.

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII EXTREME GLACIAL – Overclocking

April 29, 2021 by Stephen

It is flawless. Asus has succeeded with this ROG Maximus XIII Extreme Glacial in bringing together in a single motherboard all that is necessary to meet the expectations of players but also overclockers. The association with EK once again works wonders with a superb water block responsible for keeping all the components cool. The price is justified, it is for us the price of the exclusivity of what is best at Asus.
