MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS
 |
 |
One of MSI's overclocker motherboards for AMD Ryzen processors based on the top 2019 AMD X570 chipset. It is a full-size ATX board from the MSI Performance Gaming overclocker family. Fully compatible with 2nd and 3rd generation Ryzen 3/5/7/9 processors (with Matisse, Pinnacle Ridge cores) and APUs with Radeon Vega (Picasso) video core, with Ryzen 3000 CPU support guaranteed on stock UEFI BIOS (out of the box) .
It differs from the top models of the previous generation based on the X470 chipset by supporting the high-speed PCI-Express 4.0 system interface, which allows you to radically speed up data transfer from NVMe SSDs. The MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS motherboard is positioned as a high-end product designed for premium overclocking and gaming configurations. Equipped with a reinforced 10-phase (8+2) processor power subsystem with aluminium heatsinks. It will be of interest to fans of reasonable overclocking, who can get a significant increase in performance through the use of non-standard modes and manual equipment tuning techniques. Effortlessly handles two M.2 SSDs (PCI-E 4x) and up to six SATA3 devices simultaneously.
New middle class
The MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus is one of the most affordable full size ATX motherboards based on the AMD X570 chipset. And this is not a “gray mouse” at all, but a beautiful and functional motherboard with Mystic Light RGB backlight synchronization. At the moment, only the X570 chipset is guaranteed (without flashing the BIOS) to support Ryzen 3000-series processors and devices with a PCI-E 4.0 bus, and also allows you to overclock RAM over 3733 MHz.
No overheating!
And the X570 chipset turned out to be hotter than the previous X470, which forced motherboard manufacturers to resort to active cooling. Fortunately, the MPG X570 Gaming Plus has a proprietary MSI Torx fan with double ball bearings, which runs almost silently and will last for many years. The MPG X570 Gaming Plus power circuit is equipped with large metal heatsinks, which allow you to experiment with CPU overclocking to your heart's content.
Fourth version
Another M.2 Shield Frozr heatsink is designed to cool the SSD. If classic SSDs with a PCI-E 3.0 bus can somehow do without a heatsink, then the latest PCI-E 4.0 (with a theoretical speed of up to 64 GB / s) definitely need a cooler. The graphics card connector of the MPG X570 Gaming Plus is also a PCI-E 4.0 version (required for the Radeon RX5700 and 5700XT), and even reinforced with metal so that a heavy graphics card does not accidentally break it.
A bunch of video cards
A second graphics card connector is also provided, which allows you to create a bundle of AMD CrossFire, but not NVIDIA SLI. However, both NVIDIA and AMD have almost completely abandoned support for bundles for their new series of video cards, which makes the technology of little relevance. But there is only one built-in video output — HDMI. However, it is unlikely that many will assemble a PC with such a functional motherboard and a frankly low-cost Ryzen 3400G / 3200G processor with an integrated Vega graphics core.
