[Guru3D] MSI MEG X570 Unify review
I have one. Probably one of the best X570 mobos.
More on reddit.comHow's the MSI X570 unify motherboard?
I don't understand how this MB "Supports 2nd and 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen / Ryzen with Radeon Vega Graphics and 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen with Radeon Graphics Desktop Processors for AM4 socket" but has no video ports on board. Somebody kindly explain to me, what good integrated graphics are if the MB has no video ports of its own?
Do all 3 M.2 slots support Gen 4 NVME drives?
Does anyone else have experience with Sabrent Rocket drives on the Unify mobo? I see two reviews. One person says that it worked, the other said the drive wasn't recognized.

So intro time, I wanted to update my PC for my 5950x before all the production moves over to AM5 and the only way to get parts is from scalpers. Thus I am here.
The setup:
5950x
The mobo I'm looking at is the MEG X570S UNIFY-X MAX (which only has 2 ram slots and I currently have a 4x8 set up on my older gigabyte board).
So in the RAM QVL for 5xxx aka my 5000s non apu cpu almost all the ram on the QVL is either out of production or old and replaced by newer models. What isn't out of production or replaced is out of stock.
For example this kit KF436C18RBK2/64 is "compatible" according to Kingston but there is no mention of it on the QVL for the MSI mobo (MEG X570S UNIFY-X MAX)
Ideally, I want something I can buy throw in turn on A-XMP and call it a day. But it seems that most ryzen 5000s or their mobos simply don't work with the XMP timings. I can do it manually but I did that for my old 1800x system and honestly I don't want the hassle.
The question/suggestion:
Does anyone know a RAM kit for this mobo (MEG X570S UNIFY-X MAX) and my current cpu (5950x) combo that will work with A-XMP?
- Speed: 3600 is ideal but I can live with 3200
- Size: 64gb (x2 32gb) kits is ideal but I can live with 32gb (x2 16gb)
- I'm fine with either c16 or c18
