The Ultimate Z590 Motherboard Guide

BIOSTAR

BIOSTAR only have three boards ready for the launch, but it seems they’re all pretty high-end choices. Perhaps they’ll have some more budget-focused models later, but I guess Z490 still fills that void. The Valkyrie Ver. 5.0 is their flagship, and it looks phenomenal with its mixture of RGB LED lighting and pastel cream and pink highlights. It’s just a bit whacky and different, and I think that’s what’ll make it sell. One of the biggest features is the greatly improved VRM configuration, which comes with two tiny active fans. There’s a full metal backplate and a mighty 22-phase power design.

If you think that looks good, you’ll love its little sibling, the Z590I Valkyrie. There aren’t many mini-ITX boards this launch, and this one still comes with a huge VRM heatsink, a single active fan, and a 10-phase power design. Not bad for a small motherboard, but it certainly keeps the slick aesthetics of the ATX model.

BIOSTAR seem to have listened to feedback, too, as they’ve dropped the cheap-looking design on their RACING board. The Z590GTA Ver. 5.0 still features the dual fan design like the bigger board, but it has a 14-phase design, 20K solid caps and a kick-ass heat sink and RGB design. Good work BIOSTAR, you’ve really stepped up for this generation.
