With the discharge of Intel’s 10th era desktop processors (Comet Lake-S) looming ever nearer, MSI has introduced a pair of recent Z490 fashions, the MSI MEG Z490 Unify and MSI MEG Z490I Unify. With a transparent deal with design, the MEG Z490 Unify and Z490I Unify each carry an all-black aesthetic with no built-in RGB LEDs with some thrilling options.
Starting with the MSI MEG Z490 Unify, it follows the ATX kind issue and has a wave of options. This features a solid-looking 16-phase energy supply with Intersil 90 An influence phases with are doubled and is managed by an ISL69269 PWM controller working in an 8+Zero configuration. Some of the primary options embody three PCIe 3.Zero x4 M.2 slots, three full-length PCIe 3.Zero slots working at x16, x8/x8, and x8/x8/+4, with two PCIe 3.Zero x1 slots. There are six SATA ports with assist for RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 arrays, whereas the board helps as much as 128 GB of DDR4-4800 throughout its 4 slots. On the rear panel loads of high-speed connectivity together with a single USB 3.2 G2 20 Gbps Type-C, and three USB 3.2 G2 10 Gbps Type-A ports, in addition to a Realtek ALC1220 HD codec handing the boards audio and a Realtek RTL8125BG 2.5 G Ethernet port, and connectors for the Intel AX201 Wi-Fi 6 wi-fi interface.
The smaller mini-ITX sized MSI MEG Z490I Unify incorporates a 10-layer PCB which is spectacular for a board of its dimension. It has a direct 8-phase energy supply with 90 An influence phases, and an Intersil ISL69269 PWN controller regulating the facility to the CPU. Looking on the options, it contains twin PCIe 3.Zero x4 M.2 slots, 4 SATA ports, and a single full-length PCIe 3.Zero x16 slot, which MSI is stating that it’s prepared for PCIe 4.0. The rear panel features a single Thunderbolt 3 Type-C enter, with a DisplayPort 1.Four and HDMI video output pairing, and advantages from a Realtek ALC1220 HD audio codec. For networking, there’s a single Realtek RTL8125BG 2.5 G Ethernet port, and connectors for the Intel AX201 Wi-Fi 6 wi-fi interface, which additionally has assist for BT 5.1 units.
It appears as if MSI take pleasure in success with its debut of the Unify collection on the X570 chipset, and has made the non-RGB themed vary a distinguished collection in its already stacked arsenal. MSI hasn’t formally said when each the MEG Z490 Unify and MEG Z490I Unify will hit retail cabinets, with a value of $270 for the mini-ITX mannequin, and $300 for the ATX.
