Zahrievanie CPU
Extremely robust power delivery, 10-gigabit ethernet, a huge number of USB ports and more – that’s what comes with one of the most feature-packed LGA 1851 platform motherboards, the MSI MEG Z890 Ace. This is mirrored, of course, by the remarkably high price tag. Such a wealth of features comes at a price, and it’s all about whether you see a potential in it that you can appreciate. Be that as it may, MSI has packed it really properly.
CPU temperature w/o power limits
Disclaimer: The temperatures of the Core i9-12900K, the Core i9-13900K and the Core Ultra 7 265K are incomparable. With the Intel Raptor Lake (Core i9-13900K) and Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 7 265K) CPUs we use a metal backplate, while with Alder Lake (Core i9-12900K), the Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora 360 cooler has a plastic backplate. The latter has lower pressure and the heat transfer intensity is worse, as our tests show.
