Review: MSI MEG X570 Unify

In this review, we look at the MSI MEG X570 Unify. Priced at $280 MSI delivers an all dark X570 motherboard that has been loaded with features like 2.5 Gbit LAN and AX WIFI, and looks that make this board seem like Batman's toolbelt.

Read the review here.

Have this board have 2 actually liked mine so much I replaced my Wifes Gigabyte, awesome board and your right about the chipset fan only ever seen it run once and that was with a closed case and a 3090 throwing heat at it on a vertical mount, I do have RGB but at least its only on the things I want.

One point though on the MSI boards 1 8 pin does the CPU the other does the PCI slots etc so its best to have both plugged in
The one thing I dislike is the USB C connection on the bottom of the board case front panel leads are not long enough to get to it unless you run across the case rather than route the cable properly makes it messy

Where you get that info about 8pin powering PCI-e?
If it's from Actually Hardcore Overclocking then he already debunked it with a note for himself not to ever measure resistance with PSU connected (8PIN got connected with PCI-e power pins through PSU itself, not traces onboard.)

I personally don't like this board, it ugly, PCH cooler looks like cheaply made plastic, only 4 sata, and stupid PCI-e lanes configuration, prefer 8x/8x/4x(gen3 from PCH)

checked the manual and once again MSI would be my only choice they seem to be the only brand where the design engineer actually understand that bandwith sharing and the placement of M.2 and pcie slot matters

M.1 top slot the worst one above the superheated gpu backplate, the one you should never use : CPU bandwith and you don't want to use cpu bandwith for an M.2 anyway
M.2 mid slot a meh choice as it will get heat from an aircooled gpu too : PCH bandwith
M.3 bottom slot the coolest one especially if you have a modern/smarter case design (bottom fans and a separate compartment for the psu giving you a real bottom->top airflow) : PCH bandwith
PCIE 4.0 x1 slot above the bottom full pcie slot that you can never use because it's too low on the motherboard, it's the perfect place for a soundcard or other low bandwith cards

doesnt sound right to me, that 1 8 pin powers the pcie slots, dont think iv experienced that before...

you can get usbc extension cable for the front panel too.

Yes you can but not to replace the oe slot looked as hard as I could and I could not see a straight forward male to female extension only type C to socket to add to a case, mines all moulded into place and cannot be replaced

As for the 8 pin it was indeed the video from the buildzoid guy so perhaps its an error, damn shame as I sweated ages getting the cables in on my case as the fans and rads dont leave much room up top!
