MSI MEG Z790 ACE MAX Wi-Fi 7 LGA 1700 E-ATX Motherboard

The MSI MEG Z790 ACE MAX is an E-ATX motherboard engineered for the Intel LGA 1700 socket, providing compatibility with 12th, 13th, and 14th Generation Core processors. Built on the Z790 chipset, it utilizes a power architecture supported by dual 8-pin EPS connectors to ensure stable power delivery for demanding CPUs. The board's memory subsystem consists of four DDR5 DIMM slots, allowing for dual-channel configurations up to 256 GB. It also supports overclocked memory speeds that can exceed 7800 MHz.

For storage and expansion, the board is equipped with five M.2 slots, one of which operates on the PCIe 5.0 x4 interface for compatible solid-state drives. It also features three PCIe x16 slots for graphics cards and other expansion hardware. Networking capabilities are extensive, with dual 2.5GbE LAN ports and an integrated Wi-Fi 7 module that includes Bluetooth 5.4. The rear I/O provides high-speed connectivity through multiple USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and integrated Thunderbolt 4, while audio is handled by a Realtek ALC4082 codec and an ESS ES9280AQ DAC.
