Gigabyte x570 ultra is cheaper
Than the master
But has most of its features

thanks so either the unify or ultra

I don't know if Gigabyte have any cashback offers, but MSI are running a cashback promo at the minute. So you can get 60 quid off if you buy the Unify and the 3900X at the same time. Even without the offer, the Unify is a really solid board.

@PAULRYAN52

I'm in the same boat, stuck trying to decide which board to get, I really like the look of the Unify but I'm also thinking that as I'm using the Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black cooler that the Aorus Master would be worth getting due to having a strong backplate to help with the heavy weight of the Noctua?

I went for the ultra
After a good bit of reading up
Though features were my priority
Wasn't worried about the looks
Of the board
Some people obviously Aesthetics
Of the board might matter too

Edit
The msi meg ace was one of the
Others I had as a contender
Think that's 1 step above unify?
Think 3rd M2 slot was one reason
The ultra came out on top
Over the ace?
Though at this time in the A. M.
I might be totally wrong lol
Think the ace was better looking though

The Unify and Ace are pretty much the same board bar a couple of differences. The Ace has dual LAN and RGB whereas the Unify has a single LAN and no RGB (Which is a plus in my book). There might be a few other minor differences.

The VRM setup is pretty much the same. If you watch someone like Buildzoid (Actually Hardcore Overclocking) on Youtube it gets a really good rating from him. Pretty much makes the Ace irrelevant.

I actually prefer the Black stealth look of the Unify over the Ace, but of course everyone has different tastes when it comes to colour scheme and RGB.

Stay away from the Ace. I had 2 of them and both had to be RMA. The QC on them is beyond terrible. Ended up trading for a Master.
