MEG Prospect 700R. New definition of high-end by MSI

Utility app

We’ve had cases with a display in our tests before, but MSI has taken its usability to a new level. The touchpad can still be used for control, but it also serves as an indicator for various useful things. Sure, the case sits pretty high at three hundred euros, but it’s not just about the extra cost of the display. The MEG Prospect 700R also justifies the price in other aspects. For example, the really precise build quality.

Utility app

Without the MSI Center utility app, the display won’t show you hardware info, current time or weather information. It can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s website, but when you choose an operating system, the only choice is the latest Windows 11. But it also works without difficulty on Windows 10, on which I tested it.

When viewing hardware information, you can select the clock speed and temperature of a processor and a graphics card
You have three display options for current time
The weather is updated every three hours, and you also need to have location tracking enabled in your operating system settings
MSI Center fully replaces your motherboard app for fan control
There are three default animations for the screensaver, but you can also add your own

MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi: Basis in above-standard features

Two network adapters, over twenty USB ports, a really powerful VRM… in short, a motherboard for those with more demands than usual. The X870E Carbon WiFi is also rich in connectivity thanks to the two chips that make up the chipset’s south bridge. Overall, this makes it a very well equipped motherboard for the AMD AM5 platform that is more expensive, but you still don’t have to pay a devastating amount for it.

Primarily though, this will now be about the Z890 Tomahawk, which in some places has some major changes from its last generation. Read more “LGA 1851 is here. MSI MAG Z890 Tomahawk WiFi tested” »

CUDIMM will work on AM5, MSI says, Ryzen 9000 or 8000 needed

Recently, we reported that the Intel LGA 1851 platform with Core Ultra 200 (“Arrow Lake”) processors will premiere certain memory innovation – CUDIMM modules that have an integrated clock driver (CKD) that enables operation at (hopefully) higher clock speeds. It was unclear for a while whether this would end up being an Intel exclusive feature, but now it looks like CUDIMMs will be usable on AM5 boards with Ryzen processors as well.
