The X570S ACE MAX is an amazing motherboard. This motherboard is sturdy and has no problem handling any CPUs on the AM4 platform. With the X570 chipset, the motherboard can handle multiple M.2 storage drives at Gen 4 while also providing considerable lanes for powerful GPUs. The motherboard comes with a dragon-shaped cutout with RGB, giving a smooth shiny look to the overall finish. The black and gold colors may not appeal to everyone, but the performance makes up for it. Unlike the regular ACE, this board removes the chipset fan and replaces it with a beefier heatsink. MSI addressed the issue of the lack of SATA ports by adding back 2, making it 6 again. However, this change affects PCIe lane allocation. The motherboard also disables the built-in WiFi if the other slot is filled due to bandwidth constraints. It includes useful features such as Clear CMOS, BIOS Flashback, Power and Reset Switches, and built-in WiFi. Additionally, the motherboard comes with an extra M.2 slot, but be warned that when all 4 slots are full, the bottom PCIe slot will be unusable.
The MSI X570S Meg Ace MAX has its positives and negatives.
I give the MSI X570S Meg Ace MAX a 4/5.
