Unleash the potential of your PC with the MPG Z490 Edge Gaming Motherboard from MSI. Be ready to game in style whilst experiencing MSI’s exclusive premium features including core boost technology, 6-layer PCB, digital PWM and PCI-e steel armour. With a built-in USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, MSI pushes the limits in connectivity as well as performance.
You’ll achieve maximum performance with the MSI MPG Z490’s combined 8+4 connectors along and premium layout design. The 6-layer PCB takes this a step further, delivering first-rate results and stability without compromise thanks to an increased thermal resistance and current-carrying capacity.
In addition to controlled pump fan support, an all-metal extended heatsink enables superior heat dissipation to ensure added stability for high-end processors running at full speed. Heat transfer is even boosted by the 7W/mk thermal pad, providing improved heat transfer. The MPG Z490’S M.2 Shield Frozr boasts a strengthened built-in thermal solution that not only keeps M.2 SSDs safe, but it also prevents them from throttling and makes them run faster.
The MPG Z490 is equipped with the latest in connectivity features to offer high-end data transmission to its users. Lightning speeds are made possible with the built-in USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port, supporting 20 Gbps transmission speeds that are 4x faster than that of the previous generation. The board’s DDR4 boost employs a fully isolated circuit that delivers pure data signals for excellent gaming and overclocking performance. What’s more, the added 2.5 LAN and Intel Wi-Fi 6 promotes excellence in network experience along with flawless connection speeds up to 2400Mbps.
After years of experience, the MPG Z490 is the result of countless high-performance designs by MSI’s R&D. Manufactured with long-lasting durability in mind, this board incorporates a wide selection of high quality components to ensure reliability even under the most extreme conditions.
With 4xDIMM slots, the MPG Z490 wields the true power of DDR4 RAM. Combining a lower latency and higher memory frequency, improvement on performance is assured. Fitting MSI’s reputation for high performance motherboards, the MPG Z490 lets you overwhelm any challenge for gamers, PC enthusiasts or prosumers .
