MSI MEG Z490 GODLIKE Motherboard E-ATX - Supports Intel Core 10th Gen Processors, LGA 1200 - Memory Boost (DDR4-5000MHz/OC), 3x PCIe 3.0 x16, USB 3.2 Gen2, 3 x M.2, 2.5G LAN, Wi-Fi 6

I upgraded my motherboard earlier this year and after 7 months use I thought it was time to give it a brief review........ It is superb and a massive upgrade over my previous (inferior) MB. I opted for the MSI Meg Ace after watching/reading many reviews and I have to say this doesn't disappoint. My rig is so much smoother, faster and it just performs so much better and it even looks the part what with the inclusive RGB lighting.It has three m.2 slots which is great - I'm only using one slot currently but it offers future protection so as to not have to buy another MB due to a lack of slots.And to top it off it comes with a 3 year warranty (I believe).

This board is amazing. It runs my cpu at higher frequency with less voltage than the strix board I had to return. It also runs my ram 4266mhz at the moment, had it running 4400mhz and the board could do more but get errors in memtest, due to the ram. The asus wouldn't boot past 4000mhz. Looks nice and build quality is outstanding. Highly recommended.

I didn't realise just how much of an effect this would have on my pc's performance.After owning for a couple of months:Pros:- Packaged very well. Comes with everything you'd need cable wise.- Clearly of great build quality. It's a solid & well thought out piece of kit.- CPU temp led light at the bottom is fantastic to check temps quickly.Cons:-None so far.

The motherboard is more than grait but when the delivery was made i discovered what i was afraid of. When i received the product it had signs of opening,(the original box was not put on another cartboard box like they usually use ) after a closer look, after opening the box, i found marks of finger prints all over the motherboard (see pictures), the protective film from the IO shield was inside the box, not it was suposed to be, a mark of bending of the cooler sink on the top of the motherboard

As advertised!One of my furlough projects was to build my first true gaming pc. After a lot of searching, a friend of mine recommended this board.I have been running it for over 3 weeks now and I have no complaints. Easy to install and configure. Love the RGB lighting on the board and the additional RGB fans make it look even better.Perfect for gaming! Great value for money! Highly recommend.

If you want to waste your money and constantly run into the problem this motherboard is for you. Very disappointed ☹️ I build my pc in April and since then constantly having an issue with it. Started with no hard drive found, problem with ddr4 even though works without any issues, then processor not detectable, if you tried to check settings in bios after closing without making any changes it’ll disable like cooling system without asking for your permission and my final one won’t boot to bios after last update and won’t run Windows either. Checked all components and all working properly (nvidia Rtx 3080ti, g.skill z royal 4000Mhz Cl15, 3x1T ssd Samsung evo 980 pro). Oh don’t forget about extra future build into this motherboard which doesn’t work from day one like OC_FS1: OC Fail Save Button and OC_RT1: OC Retry Button. I could write more about failure of this product but it’s pointless

I bought this at an excellently reduced price from Amazon, these high end MSI boards are my personal favourite. Highly recommended at the price point I got it at.

Best 10900K motherboard for overclock, 1440A juice madness for extreme OC, bumped and ready even at default with 4.9Ghz all core minimum.Easily taken my 10900K to 5.2ghz daily 24/7.Nice and good looking mobo, good job MSI.
