Setting up our MSI X570 Ace Test Bench — Former Member Exclusive
60NOTE: This used to be a member exclusive video, hence the "Exclusive" in the thumbnail. I thought about making a new thumbnail, but meh... this way you know which videos were released as exclusive videos after they finally get made public.

It is worth noting this was not filmed anywhere near this date, it would have been filmed back in 2019 when Zen 2 launched, as you can see from the 3700X in the footage. It just never got used and... why not!

Thank you so much for your support! - This is an edited version of the setup of our X570 Test bench featuring the MSI MEG Ace X570 motherboard.
We still use this board to this day to test Zen 2 and Zen 3 CPUs, it has a Noctua NH-U12A cooler on it at the moment, an EVGA 1,000 watt G5 PSU, and some updated SSDs for newer, larger games. We also replaced this RAM kit with a 32GB (8GBx4 TridentZ NEO RGB DDR4-3600 CL16) kit that we use for most testing, unless the CPU doesn't like it, in which case we have other kits we use.
A few of the Zen 2 CPUs can be fussy with this RAM, and the Ryzen 5 5500 was unstable with it, we used 16GBx2 DDR4-3600 CL18 for that.
The test bench itself is long since retired, it is a Lian Li PC-T70 - no one has one for sale, we have 4 of them thankfully, 2 for Intel and 2 for AMD.
