In this review, we look at the MSI Z490 UNIFY. The new series targeted in a high-end solution. Interesting to see that this is an RGB-less all-black design. Priced at 299 USD, it comes with AX WIFI and has that a 2.5 Gbps ethernet jack and a 16-phase power design.

Most of the actual sale for gamer is like that right now... RGB overdose a bit like cold cathode overdose in it's time.

a kind user already warned me about the 2.5Gbe problem but this review hammered in my brain the fact that
Intel released a broken chipset that require a hardware change (so a new motherboard) and that those fixed motherboards will come out when the new Intel cpu come out
so.....this gen is already dead there's no reason to buy it >< the next gen will have (wasn't planned) new motherboards because of that
"hey want to buy a 800$ motherboard that will never work properly ?" "uh no thanks"
I guess not everyone cares about 2.5Gbe but where fiber optic is available 2.5Gb is coming in the near future
thanks for the review

edit: @ScottishPickle will probably appear on their website in a few days
