All in all the MSI Z590 MEG Ace combines the very best of the Z590 platform in terms of performance and connectivity and does so without costing as much as you might expect for such a fully featured motherboard. There has been a climb in motherboard pricing recently, so to get all this for a penny under £440 is very attractive and wins the MSI Z590 MEG Ace our OC3D Performance Award.
With outstanding lighting, great performance and comfortable through longer sessions all wrapped up in a very affordable price tag the MSI Clutch GM30 wins our OC3D Gamers Choice Award.
First off, beautiful design, it looks amazing in almost any case and has great overclocking performance with 10th gen intel processors, 2 nvme ssd slots is another benefit, lots of upgradability to mostly any part of the board.
This is one beast of a motherboard,,,,, Really happy with my purchase.
