About the MSI MEG Z790 ACE MAX

Unleash the power of gaming with MEG Z790 ACE MAX. Boasting premium aesthetics featuring a sleek black finish and silver embellishments, this E-ATX gaming motherboard takes Intel's 14th Gen and 13th Gen Core processors to new heights. With exceptional hardware support and durability, it thrives in extreme settings, pushing boundaries in processor overclocking, DDR5 memory, and graphics card (GPU) performance. Elevate your gaming experience with MEG Z790 ACE MAX.

The MEG series is revealed as a legend that represents the ultimate elegance in gaming.

With the determination of transcending current gaming products, the flagship models push the limits of what an extreme gaming series can be.

TOOL-FREE M.2 INSTALLATION

Industrial first Magnetic with patented Screwless M.2 Shield Frozr & EZ M.2 Clip provide the easiest way for M.2 Installation.

Stacked Fin Array Design

  • Stacked fin array design enlarges up to 50% heat dissipation, provides the maximum surface of heat dissipation.

Aluminum Cover

  • Fully aluminum IO cover and extended heatsink design provide the maximum surface of heat dissipation.

Direct Touch Cross Heat-pipe

  • The U-shape dual heat-pipe connect three MOS heatsinks to enlarge the surface of heat dissipation.

Double-sided M.2 Shield Frozr

  • Double-sided M.2 thermal solution keep M.2 SSDs safe while preventing throttling, making them run cooler and faster.

Aluminum Backplate

  • The aluminum baseplate cool down the MOSFET temperature with dedicated thermal pads.

7W/mK Thermal Pad

  • High quality 7W/mK MOSFET thermal pads and extra choke thermal pads ensure all cores running in high performcance.

Enlarged PCH Heatsink

  • MSI replaced the PCH fan with enlarged heatsink design to reduce dust and noise as well as maintain high heat dissipation efficiency.

LIGHTNING GEN 5 PCI-E

Doubling over the previous generation, the bandwidth of a x16 interface can reach 128GB/s.

SMT PCIE 5.0 SLOT

The advanced SMT(Surface Mount Technology) PCIE slot diminish interference and electrical noise, fully support the PCI-E 5.0 signal.

REINFORCED, HEAVY SOLDERED CONNECTIONS

Secure to the motherboard with extra solder points and support the weight of heavy graphics cards.

  • HIGH QUALITY AUDIO CAPACITORS
  • A high fidelity sound experience with exceptional acoustics and realism for studio level headphones is ensured.

THE ISOLATED ANALOGY STRUCTURE FOR AUDIO CONNECTORS

To provide clear voice, MSI develops a unique structure - Isolated Analogy Structure. The external metal framework of the audio connectors is separated from the internal layout, which ensures the sound quality crisp.
