AMD has delivered a winner in their latest Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU as it smashes the competition at gaming. That makes our search for the best AM5 motherboards a matter of urgency and today we are reviewing the MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk which is priced under £300 including VAT. Naturally the features include PCI Express Gen 5 and USB4 but MSI has also removed something that causes pain to a few of you, as this motherboard has no on-board RGB lighting whatsoever. Read more here: mhttps://www.kitguru.net/components/motherboard/leo-waldock/msi-mag-x870-tomahawk-review/ Buy for £280 from Scan here: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/msi-mag-x870-tomahawk-wifi-amd-x870-am5-ddr5-pcie-50-4x-m2-5g-wifi7-usb-40-usb-32-aplusc-a.

Good DIY features for installing PCIe and M.2 hardware. 5Gbit Ethernet and WiFi 7. VRM is plenty strong enough for your Zen 4 or Zen 5 CPU. Cons: Fourth M.2 slot is effectively only for show.

Two years on from the launch of Intel's Alchemist discrete GPUs, the next generation has arrived in the form of the Battlemage series, and today we can present our review of the Intel Arc B580. Hitting the market at $249, Intel claims that the B580 is 10% faster than the Nvidia RTX 4060, while also offering superior cost per frame, alongside a larger 12GB framebuffer. It certainly sounds good on paper, but there's plenty more to the story...
