I recently did a build for my friend with a z690 Unify, 13900k. Was a great board, and this looks even better. Can't wait to see performance 😍 Keep up the content 👌
@@juice7661 If I had to guess, based on the absolutely infinitesimal evidence this thread contains, I would estimate Allan's age to be a minimum of 20% in excess of your own.
@@auturgicflosculator2183 I wish! I'm now closer to the grave than ever before. I'm actually at the hospital right now recovering from a colorectal surgery to treat my colon cancer and let me tell ya its not looking great.
It's really nice to see a board that doesn't skimp on either USB-A *OR* USB-C at the back. The amount of boards I see where there's less USB-A to make room for USB-C is rediculous, especially when most devices still use USB-A. 8x USB-A and 4x USB-C makes me a happy boy, I can't lie.
Part of that is because they have 2 cpu attached thunderbolt 4 ports now so they kinda have to provide that at minimum. Also technically means they got another 2 pcie gen 5 lanes
Thank you, MSI for not adding more RGB. Too many grown men are in love with colored lights It's just obnoxious what they turned men into, programmed to love RGB and wanting more of it, people are now wanting more and more of it. I love solid colors, and I turn off all RGB, and truly appreciated a look of something professional looking, not something that looks piercing bright at the side of me and causing eye glare. Beautiful board, and MSI knocked it out of the park, especially considering you can turn off that RGB in BIOS, for a solid board.
I can understand not appreciating distracting glare. LED light with lots of blue or white is painful AF for me. Even natural light hurts my eyes. I wear sunglasses at night, and even then, headlamps and streetlights and fluorescent bulbs and LED screens everywhere in public will cause still me severely debilitating discomfort after prolonged exposure. On the other hand, deep red light causes me zero pain and doesn't affect my already rather poor night vision. Various colour schemes can have an effect on mood. Would you insult "grown men" for having paintings or posters on their walls, or for preferring the sight of rolling hills and trees over smoggy, grey-brown cityscapes? Perhaps you would be happy in a grey cubicle for the rest of your natural life, and that's okay. Insulting others for liking things that you don't like seems like a rather immature stance, however.
I'm aiming at this one. Taichi OCF is $600 and that's too much, if Unify-X costs more than $500 I'll just go with Taichi Lite, but I really want this one.
So far of the overclocking boards debuted for Z890, I think I like the ASRock Taichi OCF the most. The feature set on the board is great. The price isn't too bad either. Though I'm still not sure if I wanna go for traditional DIMM's or CAMM2. CUDIMM is launching, but it's unclear yet as to how it will compare to CAMM2. I think was GSkill that showed off a CUDIMM Intel system at Computex running at like 10600MHz..
I was about to complain that all these boards look great with those covers, but in order to replace the CMOS battery you have to remove the GPU, which is even more annoying when you have them water-cooled. But where's the battery on this one?
4:50 for PCIe 8 pin power. Take a guess what would it be for? To stabilize CPU/GPU pairing for INTEL ARC? X870 boards also this even that 9800X3D and 9950X3D maybe are coming next year. That's what comes to mind now that the "REBAR will be on steroids".
Unify x even tho probably lower tier parts seeing it's lower high end instead of flagship but msi has this best bios by far outta them ALL. So much less menus
Great board but, ready for ai-pc, whahahaha please MSI, stop the bullshit. It `s a good product, no need to add ai on the box. Ive got the Amd Msi B550 Unify board and I love it. Also the price was really good (€290) So I hope Msi does come with a B850 Unify board because they skipped the B650 version.
I remember this board, I was considering either this or Gigabyte Aorus Master Z690, went for Aorus, but Unify was up there for me, if Gigabyte didn't work out I would get Unify-X, it went out of stock before I could buy it. Gigabyte's board did very well as well. Both looked very sharp and professional

Nobody does a better job at showing details better than, TOM
He never even tested the oc capabilities of the board.
@@juice7661 DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN "SHOW" AND "TEST" , DO TELL. ALSO, I, MAY BE WRONG, BUT ARENT TESTS RESULTS, STILL UNDER ENBARGO

this mb and MSI GODLIKE are the best gaming mainboards in this Intel cpu generation.
wish they made one of these for AM5
Why? Overclocking is dead, bro.
@@basshead. Expert manual OC is more effective than any major tech company's automated solution.

This is the one board that isn’t up for preorder on various online retailers….def wondering what the price will be
Will you review any Asrock boards?
Very Nice!
When is this coming out? It’s not available for pre order or listed anywhere?
@@auturgicflosculator2183 not in USA it’s not
@@auturgicflosculator2183 can u give me a link
Haven't even watched the video yet, I'm just driving up the engagement.
#respect
Where's the MSI z890 QVL already?
Does this have an iGPU lane? I really want quicksync on a 2 dimm board.
Yes it does you can tell by the amount of + in the vrns. They used to not be powered but they are this tjms
Unify vs tachyon vs apex vs taichi oc..
What will be the best?
the cheapest one
@@EmaDZee i guess all will have asynchronous eclk and all other overclocking features
@@EmaDZeeso the unifyx forsure
Unify x even tho probably lower tier parts seeing it's lower high end instead of flagship but msi has this best bios by far outta them ALL. So much less menus
@@Frozoken asrock taichi oc is the best overclocking mobo
6 sata ports? IM IN
MicroATX pcie slots, sold at EATX prices. No thanks.
Best z890 in da world mf
its missing a ram cooling fan bracket
Great board but, ready for ai-pc, whahahaha please MSI, stop the bullshit.
It `s a good product, no need to add ai on the box.
Ive got the Amd Msi B550 Unify board and I love it.
Also the price was really good (€290) So I hope Msi does come with a B850 Unify board because they skipped the B650 version.
B860 has no overclocking tho
should be around the 499$ range. Last gen Z690 was and its just not worth more then that. Great board though

Way too expensive 😂😂
