MSI MEG Z890 ACE WIFI 7 ATX Motherboard (LGA 1851)
Take your gaming and content creation experiences to a new level by including the MSI MEG Z890 ACE LGA 1851 ATX Motherboard in your computer build. Supporting Intel Core Ultra series 2 desktop processors with the LGA 1851 socket, gamers and enthusiasts can outfit this motherboard to smoothly handle extremely demanding applications and AI workloads. Designed to simplify builds, MSI's EZ technology makes it easy to install one M.2 PCIe 5.0 and four PCIe 4.0 SSDs to store your games library, applications, and important files. Four SATA III connectors are available alongside four DDR5 DIMM slots. Two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and one PCIe 4.0 x4 slot allow you to install powerful graphics cards and other compatible expansions. The rear panel features two Thunderbolt 4 ports that can transfer up to 40 Gb/s with compatible devices or connect a USB-C compatible 8K display. It's also loaded with two USB-C and 11 USB-A ports that support 10 Gb/s devices. An internal header allows you to connect a front panel 20 Gb/s USB-C port. Built-in Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support, along with a 10 Gb/s Ethernet port, provides you with connections to compatible network devices for smooth 8K video streaming and low-latency online games.
Ultra Power
Unleash maximum CPU performance with a 24+1+2+1 Duet Rail Power System (DRPS), a 110A Smart Power Stage, and OC Engine.
EZ M.2 Clip II
MSI's EZ M.2 CLIP II makes SSD installation seamless. Insert the SSD into the M.2 slot and press it down to lock it in place with the clip. Flicking the clip outward lets you remove the SSD. Use the EZ M.2 Clip II remover tool to detach or reposition the clip on the motherboard.
Wi-Fi 7
Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) introduces higher speeds, wider channels, improved efficiency, and reduced latency over Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), with maximum speeds of up to 5.8 Gb/s. Utilizing 320 MHz on the 6 GHz band ensures reliability during simultaneous transmissions at max speeds and the 4096 QAM boosts peak transmission rates and network capacity. Multi-Link Operation enables devices to simultaneously send and receive data across several frequency bands and channels to meet traffic demands and the growing number of wireless devices.
