Description
EZ PCIe Release
An easy-to-access physical button release mechanism that can help remove any PCIe card with a single tap, making it much easier to upgrade to a new GPU or other compatible device, streamlining the entire process and enhancing user experience.
The Pre-Installed I/O Shield offers a streamlined and hassle-free installation experience by eliminating the need to manually fit the I/O shield during motherboard setup. With its built-in design, it ensures proper alignment and a secure fit, providing both protection and convenience while enhancing the overall durability of your build.
MSI motherboards circuitry ensure the case standoff keep out zones are pure and clean. Moreover, the protective paint is printed around each screw hole to prevent parts from being scratched or damaged to the motherboard.
24+2+1+1 DRPS POWER DESIGN
Unleash and sustain the maximum performance with a flagship VRM design built with a total of direct 24+2+1+1 digital power phases. Combining dual power connectors and 110A Smart Power Stage, MEG Z890 ACE is ready for the challenge of high-end processors.
OC Engine is a precision clock generator for extreme overclocking, allowing users to adjust base clock (BCLK) frequencies independently for enhanced CPU performance. It ensures stability while pushing system limits, making it ideal for overclocking enthusiasts aiming to maximize performance and achieve new records with safety and control.
OPTIMIZED PCB SOLUTION
The PCB design has been optimized for higher bandwidth and faster transfer speeds, which is also beneficial for reliable circuit transmission.
DDR5 MEMORY SUPPORT WITH HIGH PERFORMANCE
A huge step of DDR performance enhancement with the latest DDR5 memory. Combines with dedicated SMT welding process and MSI Memory Boost technology, MEG Z890 ACE is ready to deliver the world class memory performance.
The metal backplate cools down your motherboard, while the dedicated sunken design strengthens the memory slot area to prevent PCB bending and to protect surrounding components.
Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS)
Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are safety devices used to protect against excessive voltage. All motherboard models of MSI are equipped with TVS. When the voltage abnormally rises, the TVS switches from a high-resistance state to a low-resistance state, diverting the excessive voltage to ground. This helps prevent circuit damage caused by high voltage.
solid pin design
The 4-pin, 8-pin, and 24-pin power connectors of MSI motherboards are all designed with solid pins. The solid pin design allows for a more stable transmission of 12V power to the CPU, even when handling high current loads.
Anti-corrosive Stainless Steel IO Shield
An extra layer of sponge materials along with corrosive resistance IO Shield to help improve static electricity and reduce electromagnetic radiation noise from the system as well as much more durable compare to traditional IO Shields.
Over Current Protection
MSI motherboards prioritize safety with the embedded Overcurrent Protection (OCP), ensuring crucial components such as the USB ports, DDR memory, PWM IC, and CPU are shielded from excessive current. This proactive defense mechanism curtails the risk of damage or malfunction due to power surges, promoting long-term system stability. This commitment to safeguarding your hardware underscores MSI's dedication to producing motherboards that prioritize durability and stability.
The Grounding Structure of Power Phases
The grounding structure of power phases is the MSI's exclusive design. This patented design enables to suppress the electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by the power phases and helps to efficiently conduct heat to the copper plane with grounding properties.
9W/mK MOSFET Thermal Pad
MSI MEG series motherboards are equipped with a 9W/mK MOSFET thermal pad to achieve the highest cooling performance. Compared to the previous generation's 7W/mK thermal pad, the average temperature is reduced by approximately 2.5°C.
DIY 2.0 – INTEGRATING WITH THE SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT
Connect and synchronize with MSI coolers and cases with strategically positioned pin-header locations including a dedicated pump-fan header.
Combo Fan Header
The MSI Combo Fan Header is a versatile component, functioning as both a pump and or fan header. The header will automatically detects whether it is either pump or PWM/DC fan, with it's distinctive gray color ensuring easy identification
