Najee's Experience

The X570 ACE 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 an infinity mirror 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. The board uses a chipset fan, which can be loud when powering on the system. Fortunately, the fan is quiet during normal use as the board keeps its cool. It also includes useful features such as Clear CMOS, BIOS Flashback, Power and Reset Switches, and built-in WiFi. Another downside is the lack of SATA ports for HDD and SSDs. This is not a problem if you want to max out the M.2 storage, as the chipset only allows for 4 SATA ports if 3 M.2 slots are populated. A feature that is not recommended for use is the OC dial, which can cause issues by giving the CPU random overclocks.
