MSI has rolled out its latest AMD AM5 motherboards, the enthusiast-grade MEG X870E Unify-X MAX & several B850 MAG series products.
MSI Brings High-End Memory Overclocking To AMD Ryzen CPUs With MEG X870E Unify-X MAX Motherboard
The MSI MEG X870E Unify-X MAX is the first Unify motherboard designed for the AMD AM5 socket. We tested the Z890 variant of this motherboard, and it was a phenomenal experience, offering some of the fastest DDR5 overclocking capabilities. Now, the Unify-X is coming to AMD Ryzen CPUs.
As per the details, the MSI MEG X870E Unify-X MAX motherboard features a powerful VRM design and provides power to the AM5 socket through dual 8-pin connectors. The board features two DDR5 slots & supports up to 128 GB capacities with speeds north of 10,000 MT/s (OC+). Expansion slots on the board include four PCIe slots, of which two are x4, and two are x16 (2 x Gen5 x 16 - 8x/8x).
There are at least four M.2 slots on the motherboard, all of which are cooled by large Frozr heatsinks, and the whole assembly features easy DIY accessibility with an EZ PCIe release mechanism and toolless M.2 SSD installation. There are also two SATA III ports, a DEBUG LED, Power On/Off buttons, and an additional 8-pin + 6-pin connector setup to feed the motherboard more power when it's fully loaded and prepped for overclocking.
Other highlights of the motherboard include a Tuning Controller, which lets users adjust OC parameters and also the BCLK. The motherboard, being a "MAX" series product, supports full BCLK adjustments, and the VRMs come with an advanced Direct Touch Cross heatpipe solution with 9W/mk thermal pads. Overall, the Unify-X looks great with its solid silver and black aesthetics, and should be setting some records soon.
MSI Also Rolling Out New B850 MAX Series Motherboards
MSI is also rolling out its latest B850 MAX series motherboards, which include the MAG B850 Gaming Plus MAX WIFI, MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX WIFI II, and the MAG B850M Mortar MAX WIFI. These come with a 64 MB BIOS upgrade, latest Wi-Fi 7 + 5G LAN networking solutions, all of the EZ DIY features that you can find on high-end designs, plus there's also an integrated OC Engine, enabling BCLK OC. These boards are set to hit retail at very attractive price ranges, so stay tuned for more information.
