MSI MEG Z590 ACE Review
VRM Temperatures & Power Consumption »Overclocking
The MSI MEG Z590 ACE showed a good amount of headroom when overclocking. I was able to achieve 5.3 GHz at 1.38 V core voltage. Overclocking is largely limited by temperature because the 10-core Intel Core i9-10900K will overpower any ambient cooling solution. Depending on settings, the system will either crash or severely drop frequency.
The MSI MEG Z590 ACE was great for memory overclocking as well, reaching 4000 MHz stable at XMP timings and voltages on my Trident Z Neo kit. MSI has utilized their tabbed memory traces from the last generation to great effect.
