Great review, but given that the test rig is targeting high-end with the 3090....i see no 4k tests, as for the Msi product itself.... I`ve been running my Ryzen 5800x + Msi x570 UNIFY for over a year now and see no reason to change just yet, although i do have my gripes, well only 2 really, 1st the Unify features a Corsair rgb port which is fine and dandy but Msi`s lack of ability to properly support the integration of Corsair rgb in to Msi center is pretty poor, ranging from my fan led`s getting stuck mid cycle or my fan led`s turning off altogether, 2nd the pwm fan control is a joke, i see no ability in the bios to set all my system and cpu fans at the same speed...they have to be done independently although you can override in Msi center only to find the system has hitsy fits and randomly sets the fans at default....even with a custom fan curve for each fan the system will default randomly be it during a gaming session or just browsing the net, Ive only ever had 2 Msi boards...my first was a Z270 camo squad and my current x570....both had the erratic fan behavior , its not ideal when you have to alt-tab mid game to re-apply your custom fan curve, that being said... Both boards were great on a hardware level of features.

Am I missing something here? This seems more like a CPU review (this one to be precise, Core i5 12400 processor review - Introduction (guru3d.com)) than a motherboard review.
