ASUS TUF Gaming K5 Review
|
 While the keyboard may arrive at a fraction of the cost, ASUS claims that the K5 offers uncompromising performance and durability. We find “Mech-Brane” key switches, with a feel designed to mimic the more expensive mechanical boards on the market without the associated expense, there’s also 24-key rollover to ensure all keypresses are registered, 1000Hz polling rate, RGB backlighting and a built-in wrist rest for optimal comfort.

ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming
|
|
"Over the past 10 years, I have looked at a lot of ASUS and ROG branded motherboards including the Striker II and Blitz motherboards from 2008 up to this motherboard the ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming. One constant in that 11-year time span is that the ROG based boards have always been geared to the performance enthusiast and gamer. ASUS software and hardware tools have only improved with expanded functionality and performance results. The STRIX Z390-E Gaming does not stray from the tenets that made the ROG series what it is today."

For this season’s Intel Z390 chipset the Designare doubles down on Thunderbolt 3 – bringing in two USB-C ports on the Rear IO, as well as a plethora of other features including DisplayPort 1.4 Input. Another significant inclusion is CPU attached PCI Express, which allows SSD add-in cards to completely bypass the chipset controller and utilise greater throughput directly from the CPU.

But arguably the big money – and the most important battle – is at the highest end of the market. This is where EPYC comes in, and industrial-strength motherboards like the Gigabyte MZ01-CE0 (rev. 1.0) on test here.

MSI MEG Z390 ACE Motherboard Review
|
|
In this review I’ll be showing you the MSI MEG Z390 ACE. This board shares many of the design cues found on the X399 Creation but is built on the Intel Z390 chipset for LGA 115x 8000 and 9000 series processors. Position wise, it is one step down from the MEG Z390 Godlike and really designed to do more than just game

MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC.
|
|
"After taking some time to delve into what MSI has to offer with the MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC, I found that to get the most out of the latest Intel 10-core beast you do not need to step up to the king of the hill $500 board. Now what you may give up other than $300 or more are features that you may or may not use. For most users, the price point of the MSI MPG Gaming Edge AC is a great compromise between performance and all-out feature set. Performance-wise, this board from MSI did well by comparison to another Z390-based board and a Z370 board. The metrics, for the most part, were close in just about every test. That's a given at this point. So what separates the boards are feature set and what the intended use case will be."
