Enhanced Design
Providing you with enhanced performance, the MSI MEG Z790 ACE MAX utilizes several features and electrical designs to optimize your gaming experience with the 24+1+2 Dual Rail Power System across the 8 PCB layers which utilize IT-170 server-grade materials with 2 oz. thickened copper.
Cooling Performance
Stacked fin array design, aluminum covering, direct-touch cross heat pipes, double-sided M.2 Shield Frozr, aluminum backplate, enlarged PCH heat sink, and 7W/mK thermal pad all work together to ensure your system remains cool under heavy loads. You also get dedicated internal cooling headers designed for fan and liquid coolers.
Built for Performance
The GAMING PLUS’ PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is backed by proprietary Lightning Gen 4 technology, giving you up to 128 GB/s bandwidth, driving up graphical performance. Integrated Xtreme Memory Profile (XMP) overclocks your memory and ensures proper electrical throughput for greater RAM speeds.
DIY Friendly
Whether you are a seasoned or a brand-new builder, the MEG Z790 ACE MAX offers several enhancements that are useful to everyone. EZ M.2 Clip makes securing your SSDs quick, easy, and screw-free. Driver Utility Installer keeps your firmware up to date, preventing potential software issues. You also have several other conveniences such as the EZ debug LEDs, Keep Out Zone, XL Clip, and a Pre-installed I/O shield.
Software Enhancements
Various ingrained systems allow you to fully optimize your gaming experience. MSI Center is a one-stop-shop platform for most of your needs. You can customize your settings with Profile Setting, Fan Center, System Diagnosis, Hardware Monitoring, User Scenario, and True Color settings. You also have various BIOS settings that can be adjusted with EZ-Mode or Advanced Mode along with Resizable Bar, adding even more optimization options for your system.
Reliable Design
MSI PCI Express Steel Armor slots are secured to the motherboard with extra solder points to support the weight of heavy graphics cards. When every advantage in games counts, Steel Armor also shields the point of contact from electromagnetic interference. The advanced Surface Mount Technology (SMT) welding process reduces the defect rate of slot solder joints, electromagnetism, and interference. Combining with exclusive Memory Boost technology allows MSI motherboards to deliver the clean and pure high-frequency DDR5 signal
Enhanced Audio
Ensure your audio is top-notch with an array of high-definition processors, audio capacitors, and jacks designed to deliver immersive audio suitable for your games and media. Isolated audio signal splits channels to prevent crosstalk for an even clearer sound. Protect your ears as you plug and unplug your headset with De-Pop Protection.
Mystic Light
Mystic Light allows you to customize your lighting colors and effects to add personality to your system thought the A-RAINBOW V2 header. Ambient Link allows you to synchronize lighting themes with compatible lighting devices outside the case such as wall-mounted lighting panels.
