MSI MEG Z890 Ace

This Motherboard looks so good. It perfectly fit my build aesthetic and now I have a high performing and good looking PC build. It really helps me get every last bit of performance out of my 285k processor. It has literally every feature you can think of and has so much I/O which is all super fast like no low speed usb 2.0 ports here. I really like the bios interface and how easy it is to navigate. It has made my processor stable and works incredibly well. The only downside is it is on the pricier side of msi motherboards but if you want a do it all no compromise motherboard for the latest intel chips you can't go wrong with this one. I really like MSI and tend to gravitate to their products and this one is no different. Works excellently with my new MSI Vanguard 5090 GPU. Can't wait for new games to come out this year.

Great motherboard. I like that it has enough usb plugs on the motherboard for my case. My last motherboard was a MEG Unify while I like the SSD Hetasinks they don’t seem to actually press the thermal pad down onto the ssd that well as is the case here with this MEG ACE Z890. Not a huge problem I just installed a thicker thermal pad. I purchased as a used like new deal which did not come without its own problems but Amazon was good about making it right and I ended up cleaning the thermal paste off that was everywhere on the cpu socket and around it as well as tightening screws to the snap on ssd heatsink and fixing a bent usb pin but in the end it worked perfectly.

I think heatsink is not install properly in factory packout. The motherboard heatsink already felt off inside the electrostatic bag, and causing scratches on one of the connector, and a bit damage on thermal pad as shown in the picture. Hopefully, the motherboard still function ok, need to test it later with other components in place. 5/20 - tested, board works ok, great motherboard

This Z890 motherboard from MSI is fantastic for the new 200 series processors from Intel. The construction is top notch, 8-layer, server grade components throughout. From the overbuilt vrm power stages to the reinforcement of the pcie slots this motherboard is a sight to behold. While this motherboard isn't cheap $649 on Amazon, I think it's construction more than justifies the higher price. I think the additional pcie lanes are great as you can now use a gen 5 nvme in slot m.1 without cutting into the Gpu lanes, x16 to x8 and cutting its output in half. Great job MSI..!

As advertised, quick delivery, happy buyer! The board itself is extremely well put together, well documented and works fantastic.
