bill its coverage of copy text 2019 is brought to you by fantex Coolermaster gigabyte enter max team group NZXT and Corsair to learn more about our sponsors click on the links below ok naturally we're gonna check out X 570 boards from all the vendors we can and here we have MS is offering so we're gonna start off with their sort of entry level or I should say mid-range boards first these are gonna obviously be the most affordable just giving you the essential features that most gamers are gonna want none of the features that you probably don't need that you're gonna definitely have to pay extra for so for service we have the MGP X 570 gaming edge Wi-Fi and next to that is the MP GX 570 gaming Pro carbon Wi-Fi and these are going to be very similarly priced with just some of my new differences between the two you can see this one actually has black and red accents so if you're planning to go for a distinctively red color scheme there might be an option here we have a bit more color neutral design obviously the aesthetics are going to be the probably the biggest difference between these two boards each board also has one nvme PCIe gen3 m2 SSD slot which is nice to have if you kind of look here that you could actually see the i/o cover is is relatively large it's a heatsink and it looks to be all metallic it's all aluminum so it's actually functionally cooling down some of the VRM you can see it extends well beyond just the the actual vrm portion here just to get more surface area and additional heat dissipation X 570 is prone to getting much hotter than X 470 after all that's why we have active cooling fans as well I'm gonna talk more about these fans in just a little bit as we scale up to the higher quality boards or the more expensive boards I should say bump in one step up we have the MP GX 570 gaming Pro carbon Wi-Fi this is of course I got some carbon-fiber inlays right there very very sporty looking you can see that we actually have 2 m2 slots on this guy again both of them PCIe 10-4 chipset fan and you can see the heatsink configuration across this whole area of the board is a bit more substantial and robust than some of the cheaper options can't forget our GB got it got a lot of RGB here we have the Meg x5 78 this thing is pretty beautiful especially if you're trying to go for a black and gold theme system here you can see we actually get to eight pin EPS 12 volt connectors for our CPU which is going to be awesome if you're dropping in a higher four count CPU into this board which is really what it's targeted for with AMD's announcement though they're gonna be going up to 12 and potentially even 16 cores on rising 3,000 CPUs you're gonna want more power delivery cleaner power the VRMs are a bit more beefed up actually significantly beefed up on these boards compared to the ones we just looked at so if you're going for Hyper eight core rise in 3000 CPUs this board is going to be very well suited for the job we also get one two three PCI a Gen 4 M two slots I believe this board also includes a PCIe card that will give you two more m dot u slots so giving you a total of five drives and I believe you can raid those together to get some really insane numbers that we've seen earlier you can see we also have Wi-Fi six onboard I spies flashback and clear CMOS buttons on the back are very handy feature to have few other features we were familiar with seeing on high-end mmsi boards like surface mount power reset a handy little overclocking knob if you don't want to fiddle around too much of the BIOS and we have a troubleshooting debug LED as well this isn't even the highest end board that they have here though if you come over here we have the M eg or the Meg god like this this is where it's at okay this is this is if you're dropping in a sixteen core you want absolutely zero compromise the BRM setup is a fourteen plus four plus one power phase delivery absolutely insane like the ACE motherboard we have three M two slots here also comes included with that that PCIe Gen four PCI Express card that I was mentioning earlier the m2 expander that's what the card looks like right there this board also comes with a 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN card slots right into your board which is super great for networking purposes additionally I think there's a one gigabit and five gigabit port already pre-built into them into the board as well so still really nice transfer speeds there there's an LCD screen here they didn't really mention that too much but I would imagine it's configurable maybe you can put something a bit more useful on there like system Diagnostics thermal voltage and is this a mirror this is just a mirror you know in case you need to get ready for a party or something no this is probably some kind of flashy RGB oh yeah there's there's always you be on there it's just an RGB thing you can also see the cooling solution on the here is a bit more beefed up there's actually a heat pipe running from the chipset itself to the rest of the BRM so you're actually getting active cooling on these areas of the board as well because of the fan now I told you I'd circle back to these fans no obviously having fans on the chipset is not ideal because at some point the fans are destined to fail however MSI is taken some precautions to make their fans allegedly better than the competition by introducing things like double ball bearings so you're gonna get buzz Jillian hours of lifespan here they actually be much more reliable and have much more longevity than the competition propeller blade technology which is gonna aid in cooling as well as noise there's also a zero frozer technology that they built into the into the fans so under a certain power load the fans are going to spin up at all you can see it's actually not spinning up at all right now but that's because the more it's not powered on really and then there's also a tuning pin control this is going to be software based as well so depending on the load the fan will ramp up and down seamlessly so that it's not too distracting but also providing adequate cooling regardless of the task at hand and then I'd say potentially the best for last year we have the prestige X 570 creation a little bit difficult to see with all this backlighting but this board is incredibly over engineered we have a 14 + 2 phase power design that's of course 14 for the CPU and 2 for the ddr4 just beautiful board it has a lot of nice silver and black accents that we're used to you can also see that we have the same key by heat pipe design that we saw in the godlike that's going straight from the exercise 70 chipset all the way to the rest of the vrm so you're actually getting that same active cooling from that fan completely across the board which is a very nice implementation we have one to three full-size PCIe gen and it also looks like we have I believe there's two empty slots here that are again PCIe gen for this probably includes I would assume that it includes the same expansion cards all that we do get a dual LAN with a 10 10 gigabit attending via ethernet which is very nice the other thing I noticed here is that there's actually dual USB 3.0 headers 20 pin which is really nice I like the fact that they're right next to each other and they're both right angle that's going to help clean up cable management quite significantly of course no word on pricing yet for any of these boards although we can expect all of them to become a on the day of launch for Rison 3000 so just around the corner you guys let me know which boards your favorite I personally am really into the ACE and the godlike I think those are the ones I would reach out for first assuming that my wallet would what sustain that choice but you guys let me know what your preference is down below
