Foreword

Borrowing of the technologies is a common practice among manufacturers of components and peripherals.

 

Samsung created new monitors with SVA-panels.

Asus took a chance and bought the technology increasing its range of gaming monitors widely.


One of the new monitors is the 31.5-inch ROG Strix XG32VQ standard WQHD with a scan rate of 144 Hz. What can be said about it?

Introduction

  For the work of  Coffee Lake processors you need new motherboards. Despite the accelerated launch of chips with an increased number of cores, the motherboard manufacturers managed to prepare for the start of 8 Core processors sales, which is better than Intel. Today we have a review of the model MSI Z370 GAMING PRO CARBON AC.


 

MSI has already managed to release a lot of motherboards based on the Intel Z370. One of the first models is the given motherboard. In connection with the release of six-core processors, one of the main issues was the temperature regime of VRM and the willingness of cards to overclock. However, the key feature of this model is the extended work with backlighting. There is support not just for RGB LED tapes (four-contact areas for connection are used), but also for more intelligent ones with addressing (there are already three contacts for them). There are two nests for each type.
