MSI MEG Z890 ACE in Test: High class Brett with good lane flexibility

It’s end-of-life, and it won’t be long before Intel’s new Core-Ultra-200S processors make their performance stand out. If the first Z890 motherboard is shown in an example of the MEG Z890 ACE from MSI – and the platinum version is used first to perform a few steps and see the details. The MEG Z890 ACE is in the higher class and positions itself directly below the MEG Z890 GODLIKE, the Z890 Flaggschiff from MSI.

With around 700 Euro it is interesting to finance the postponed MEG Z890 ACE when Platine comes to the Wahl for Arrow Lake-S activities. With the Verauten LGA1851 base, it is of course compatible with the Core-Ultra-200 processors. Combination with the Ganze with the new Z890 chipsatz, which has replaced the CPU and RAM support. If the LGA1851 processor is on the Z890 chipset, 24 PCIe lanes are available, while the platform is sold on a maximum of 48 PCIe lanes. 20 The processor is compatible with the PCIe 5.0 Standard compliant version of the graphics card with x16 connection to a PCIe SSD with PCIe 5.0 x4 or Lane Sharing.

Can a man now be an MSI MEG Z890 ACE guy? The ATX board from the MSI Enthusiast Gaming series is a higher class base with many extras, bring the paper to a brachial VRM device with and can be equipped with onboard comfort. A highlight is the official installation of the new DDR5 CUDIMMs, which has a large clock driver available as an art version. If there is a problem, we can tell you that more special transactions are possible. For the MEG Z890 ACE version from MSI with a speed of 9,200 MT/s (DDR5-9200), a few things work. Demnach wollen will not help us to stretch and scissor on the Torture for a long time with the MSI MEG Z890 ACE that no longer exists.

The MSI MEG Z890 ACE is based on the classic ATX format, the circuit board is in black. Although the kitchen is generally black, but it is a golden color, it is an end at the end of the trail behind. If you pay attention, the M.2-Kühler is suitable for the ACE-Schriftzug to recognize that the RGB LEDs are reused. Other RGB LEDs illuminate the MSI Gaming dragons on the I/O panel cover.
