Why this 'GAMING' Motherboard gets CREATORS Excited?! | feat. MSI MEG x570s ACE MAX

[@theTechNotice]

Who needs 6x M.2 slots on your motherboard? I do, but I'd also like 16x for my GPU...🤔

[@chrisbullock6477]

hopefully its cheaper and easier to find than the ASUS PROART....I've been seriously looking at getting the updated GIGABYTE Aorus X570S Master, because of its great cooling and power control, plus three m.2. Just a really quality build motherboard

[@Lucas-ck1po]

Hey, noob here: Why would you need 6 m.2? so you can have bigger storage? can you operate them in raid? does it make it faster? whats the deal with that? And what does it change them being pcie 4.0? what does that do?

[@reaperreaper5098]

@@Lucas-ck1po Yes, more M.2 ports is largely for more storage You can operate them in RAID RAID can greatly improve speeds, depending on which RAID variant you use (RAID 1 will not speed anything up, it just writes the same data to multiple drives) PCIe 4.0 allows newer SSDs to have faster sustained read/write speeds, but it's pretty much irrelevant for most gaming and casual use.

[@XlegendsX71]

im using this board now, I ran into an issue though over the last couple days. it seems the boards sharing of the wifi and the pciex1 slot is a horror. dont plan on using an external sound card or any other card for that matter while using 3 m2 drives and 2 sata drives with your 16x pcie gpu. the board seems like it cant handle the bandwith. random restarts, studders, artifacts on just even your desktop, its horrible. im so disappointed. I want my meg ace back so bad. my x570 meg ace ran all my drives while still being able to run the wifi ect. now im stuck with grabage onboard sound with nahimic and its trash. my creative card put that to shame. dont bother with this board. grab the x570 meg ace. 3 m2 slots with 4 sata is more than enough, you wont need more than that. but you can use it all at the same time.

[@XlegendsX71]

Well I'll give an update on the board now that it's been running for a little while inside the bias there is four or five settings on the chipset the M2 slots PCI Express slots selecting between gen 1 2 3 4 if you don't go in and change each option to run that specific piece of hardware then you have all kinds of problems I did manage to get my sound card to work but I had to fork up the Wi-Fi because it won't do both I managed to get three hard drives and three and two drives one of my M2 drives is a PCI Express 4 * 4 and it was sucking up so much resources that I had to actually take it out and put it in an external sleeve and run it off the USBC to get basically almost full speed out of it The thermals I'm not having any issues at all with the thermals the board runs nice and cool I am using an older PCI Express 3.0 video card I'm running three serial ATA 6 GB per second drives I'm running three and two drives two of them PCI Express 4 * 4 and one of them is a PCI Express 3 and I seem to be able to run all of it with no problems but I do noticed a couple of quirks in the bias that when you first turn the machine on I get a d6 display on the debugging LED and sometimes it'll sit on that and I'll have to shut the power supply off and then return the power supply on and then boot the machine up and sometimes it goes right by it but why it does that is beyond me it's got something to do with the detection of the PCI Express Jen's whether it's detecting gen 3 or 4 or 2 whatever the case may be I'm able to game on it fully it did bring out the best in my 980 TI card which I'm using an EVGA 980 TI classified card with a custom bias in it the card is a bee still I don't have to upgrade every game I play from war zone to New world all these games I run maximum settings at 2560 x 1440p my monitor is an MSI mag 321 c q r 144 HZ freesync monitor the board seems to be running I would say 95% I think most of my issues is the fact that my video card is older and it doesn't like the fact that it doesn't have a PCI Express 4.0 PCI Express card I am going to eventually buy a 7900 XTX card because I believe it is kind of time for one other than that I hated the board at first but now I don't mind the board it's it's running good and it's pretty solid the components on the board is nice the PCB is beautiful you can see the quality of the components I mean I've trusted MSI for Jesus 20 years I choose them over an Asus product because I've had bad bad things happen to me with Jesus boards from memory slots melting to PCI Express slots ripping off the board random stuff like that I am not happy with so I won't purchase Asus products as far as motherboards. But as far as this board goes MSI didn't have a megase to give me back when I already made my megase and I figured the ace Max was an upgraded version of the board which I was wrong in some ways it is but in most ways it isn't if I had my choice I would give it back to them MSI offered me a $310 check in place of my megase which I refused because I paid $399 for my magazines which I would have had to add $90 to replace it which I think would have been wrong cuz I paid for in the beginning so after a month of battling with them having my bored in RMA I told them to just send me the ace Max and they actually didn't have that board to send me so they actually went on Amazon purchase the board and sent it to me which I was grateful for they told me I was the one in a million customers that they actually did that for because they will not purchase a product for a customer and send it to them but they had no choice because I purchased their product. According to MSI because their boards are so high-end or at least on the high end side of the boards the god like the mega Ace etc boards on the high end side they only make 100 replacement boards for rma's which to me is off the hook because you're selling millions of these boards to every country in the world and I don't believe only a hundred of them will either be defective or break somewhere down the line within the warranty that they only made 100 replacement boards that's pretty confident in the defect ratio or you know the products that in the middle of you know the warranty timeline which is 3 years that they would only make 100 replacement boards so if you are remain your bored after x amount of time chances are they've already gone through the hundred boards and don't have a board to replace your board with if it fails or burns out while it's on the warranty so now you have to wait for MSI to get a hold of these boards and refurbish them to send them back out to the company to send it back out to the people who run into issues with either failed boards or defective boards etc it's a horrible policy I don't believe in it I think they should make 10,000 boards to be replaced with defective boards and you know boards that fail down the line within the warranty 100 boards just doesn't sound right to me but according to them that's what they said they only make a hundred replacement boards now I've had to RMA my make a twice both times I've waited a long time for the board to come in the first time the board came physically broken the overclocked genie knob was broke right off the board the second time the board was Dead on arrival both times in between I've waited over three weeks for the board to be replaced the final time was they just didn't have a board to replace my board with so that's how I ended up with this ace max I'm sorry if there's any typos I'm actually speaking to my phone and we all know they're not smart as they call them smartphones I hope my post helps people I'm not knocking MSI in any way possible because I love MSI I love their products I've been a faithful customer of them for 20 years I will always buy their products when it comes to motherboards and video cards I only buy the the top of the line boards in this case I didn't buy a godlike board because I don't believe in paying $1,200 for a motherboard so I'll go with a $400 ace Max or meg ace

[@DeadCell79]

This mother board looks great. it wasnt out yet when i got my prebuild from PC Specialist. so i settled with the ASUS x570-F. there was Asus X570 Crosshair option but the price would have effected my budget. and this was during the first locdown during the pandemic so natrually everything went up. if my MB ever needs reaplcing im geting this. i want that extra M.2 storage lol

[@MK-xc9to]

i like the M2 expander card , 16 x 4.0 for a Graphicscard gives you n o benefit currently . Maybe , m a y b e this will change with the upcoming RDNA3 chiplet behemoth from AMD with its 15 000 shader cores ( basically 2 graphics card in one which act as one card ) . i need one PCIe slot for my 10 GBit Lan card , so i would be restricted to 4 x M2 . I would like to see the option in the UEFI to run M2 on only 2 Lanes , because cheap big QLC M2 dont really need 4 Lanes , if they are used as Data Storage , they are not fast . Currently i use a B450 ( Asus B450 Gaming - F ) which allows me to split 8 GPU Lanes to 4x ( 3.0) M.2 and 4x 10 Gbit Lan card , i use 3 M.2 , one over the chipset with 4x Pcie 2.0 Lane ( a QLC ) , works fine , the max speed is limited to 2 GB but the max speed of the QLC is only 2,5 GB anyway . The second thing i like with the B450 Gaming -F , it seems to support Bifurcation on the graphics card slot = four M.2 in the 1 st PCIe Slot = perfect replacement for the B350 in my NAS if i buy a new MoBo for my main Computer , my NAS dont need a GPU .

[@ConstructionKronies]

For me as a creator I wish I could find a board that has no wifi/bluetooth, or rgb. M.2s are great but still too expensive so it would be better to have more type c ports instead for external drives. I need a board that is built for encoding and live streaming that dedicates resources to performance over things like rgb or wireless connections. I never use wireless always hard wired for max performance. Its a shame we have to pay for these things we don't need.

[@jimbrannan5825]

I'll be glad when motherboards get to the point where if there is something on the board, it is yours, using it won't steal away something on the board just because you used it. As it is now you if use an M.2 you lose a Sata port or two, or a PCIe slot. It's very misleading plus it's difficult to figure out what you really have at your disposal. I don't know why they put M.2 sockets when they can just give you a card to put in a slot. If you use a socket, it make sthe slot useles so it's the same thing.

[@andyknight4829]

Why purchase this motherboard when you could get a MSI Z690 Pro, Tomahawk or Edge DDR4 board and save yourself $100?
