  • One of the things about your reviews (that you are probably not aware of) is that when something is not so great, you don't go on a rant about it but suggest how it could be better. Very positive and refreshing considering other reviewers out there who pounce on any negativity and hammer down on it.
  • @ronm6585
    Thank you. I have the MSI MAG Z690 Tomahawk since last year and so far it has been flawless.
  • @hontam7118
    I've mostly used msi Tomahawks and Mortars in my builds. Never the fanciest, but always the best value. I do wish it had a few more quality of life inclusions, like the GPU release latch/button.
  • @ceuser3555
    Thanks for comparing with the competitors as well.
  • @johnreese4496
    Very much liked your videos on Z690, great comparison of the 3 competitors.
  • Thank you for this excellent, high quality review of higher-end motherboards. I agree with your conclusions that if a person already has an LGA 1700 board, there isn't a need to upgrade either the boards or the processor to one of these. I do think your motherboard reviews help me feel much more prepared when the time comes for a new build. I would be willing to invest in a board you have reviewed. That is more adventurous for me than my previous efforts where I tried to stay with one vendor as much as possible. Thank you again for all your work and all that your team does. I would like to praise the consistently excellent videography and the well thought out arrangement of the set (the stage or set you conduct the filming on.) You must have a professional videographer on your team.

    ASUS ProArt Z790, with its 10 gigabit LAN port, offers superior bang for buck for those who value performance over RGB candy.
  • @shirke01
    My favorite MSI MEG Z790 Ace Max
  • @gameotic1
    The second one is "MSI MPG Z790 EDGE TI MAX WIFI"
  • @dianaalyssa8726
    I BIOS updated my Z690s but it's nice to know what features exist.
  • @Gajbotron
    E baš OVAJ video sam čekao, hvala! 😊
  • @toddwerther188
    I went with the Tomahawk (non-max) specifically due to the back panel
  • I know manufacturing costs have risen, but I feel for these motherboard prices, I’d be at least expecting more PCI-E 5.0 m.2, the quick release GPU and m.2 latches, post code displays on all these motherboard models. I agree that the Edge Ti Wifi Max motherboard is waaaay over overpriced for what’s being offered over the Tomahawk Wifi Max!
  • @outlet6989
    Hi Nada. You do such a great job reviewing PCs and components for me. After watching one of your videos, my wife asked if you could start a new channel reviewing appliances. Wow, that's a real compliment.
  • Nice videoo! Thanks for this review, Nada! That Ace Max mb is insane ^^
  • @Ukyo82
    I buy this MSI tomahawk for my 14900k build is good mention something i didnt see also before i buy it no read small "letters" upper m.2 slot gen 5 is barely unuseabe because is cut main PCI slot for GPU make it x8 cut of 8 lines doesnt matter what gen nvme you put there. I put my nvme there and not see is cut by later open cpuz which was pretty awkward using RTX 4080 on x8 this is writed on MSI site but need read small letters.....so this slot can count for no existing..... unless use some low end card like 4060, using also nvme slot 3 cut of 2 sata ports make it 6 available not 8
  • @DATRecords604
    will you review MSI MPG Z790 CARBON MAX anytime soon?
  • @horacinis
    Great detailed content. Thank you 😊
  • @user-gs8ed9qb3n
    tomahawk max has very bad fixator for m2 the rubber band at the bottom does not allow the drive to be installed properly
