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.
MSI EZ Antenna makes the process effortless by simply attaching fasteners to the motherboard without rotation.
EZ Conn header (JAF_2)
MSI's EZ Conn header(JAF_2) allows users to easily connect MSI EZ series fans (7 pin) or MSI liquid cooling (11 pin). If you don't have the above products, we also provide a 1 to 3 EZ Conn-Cable, enabling you to connect ARGB light, system fan and USB device.
Once connected to the internet, MSI Driver Utility Installer will detect and present suitable drivers and utilities automatically, you can download and install with just a few clicks.
Onboard LEDs will indicate the source of the problem so you know exactly where to look to get up and running again.
Displays the error code for troubleshooting. Also functions as temperature monitor!A host of features inject artificial intelligence into key aspects of your computing experience to make smarter, real-time optimizations. The MSI Center offers a clean, minimal interface to customize and manage your PC settings. The AI Engine, for example, automatically adjusts settings based on the applications you're using, ensuring seamless performance.
16+1+1+1 DRPS POWER DESIGN
Unleash and sustain the maximum performance with a flagship VRM design built with a total of 16+1+1+1 digital power phases. Combining dual power connectors and 90A Smart Power Stage, PRO Z890-A WIFI is ready for the challenge of high-end processors.
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, PRO Z890-A WIFI is ready to deliver the world-class memory performance.
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.
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
Cooling Wizard serves as a comprehensive solution for managing fan settings across all MSI products. It ensures superior cooling performance and noise reduction for your gaming PC, offering compatibility with PWM/DC fans and pumps, customizable options, and intuitive temperature monitoring for optimal operation with one click.
Frozr AI Cooling targets CPU and GPU temperatures. The AI system detects CPU and GPU temperatures and automatically adjusts the fan duty of system fans to ensure optimal performance.
MSI fan headers automatically detect fans running in DC or PWM mode for optimal tuning of fan speeds and silence. Hysteresis also makes your fans spin up fluently to make sure your system stays silent, no matter what.
HIGH-BANDWIDTH AND LOW-LATENCY NETWORK
MSI's premium network solution provides incredible data transfer speed for demanding users.
THE NEXT GEN WI-FI SOLUTION – WI-FI 7
Wi-Fi 7 is the latest wireless solution that takes a huge leap forward with multiple improvements to meet the traffic demand brought and the growing number of wireless devices.
AI LAN Manager
MSI AI LAN Manager automatically classifies and prioritizes the latency-sensitive applications for online games, giving you the best online gaming experience with low latency.
FAST AND FUTURE-READY STORAGE
MSI PRO series motherboards support all the latest storage standards, which allows users to connect any ultra-fast storage device. Start games faster, load levels faster and have a real advantage over your enemies.
PCIe supplemental power
The exclusive Supplemental PCIe Power connector provides dedicated power for the high-power demands of GPUs used in AI computing and gaming, ensuring stable, efficient, and sustained performance.
