This Insane Motherboard isn't even the flagship - MSI MEG Z890 ACE

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

$659 US! Now can we say 'Shut up Meg'?

[@B8con8tor]

Its crazy how a few years ago the Ace boards were so much less

[@Drewkungfoo]

Yis 🤣

[@DarkHadoe]

Good one lol

[@Kapono5150]

I love the way he says “SATAH”

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

I think I'll just stick to my $10 X470 Strix board.

[@Koeras16]

You managed to get X470 strix for 10 dollars ? well that awesome.

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

@@Koeras16 Yea. Found it at the scrapyard. It works. Bought a 5800X3D for it.

[@Dante_S550_Turbo]

All these mobo manufacturers better start humbling themselves. Asrock Taichi is $300-$400 & the Taichi boards have been getting some of the highest stable overclocks the past few generations. Asus is trying to sell their board for $999 it probably won't even compete with the Taichi.

[@IcyyX_]

​@@Dante_S550_Turbo what do you think would perform the best taichi or msi meg godlike with 4x 24gb 8200mhz ram with all ssds slots populated and all pcie slots populated which mobo would be more stable

[@Dante_S550_Turbo]

@@IcyyX_ nothing with 4x memory modules is going to run well, that's why some high end mobos don't even give you 4 slots. We have a limited amount of pci lanes you can't fully populate any of these motherboards and have a gpu at 16x, and your nvme's at 4x. Go 2 sticks intel fast as you can get, amd 6400mhz. I did 2 build upgrades with arguably the best configs on the market right now i'll dm you pc part picker links if it lets me. the ram is a lil under 8200 because the 8200mhz has loose timings.

[@Demonoid1990]

I'm kinda interested in the ASRock Taichi and Taichi OCF. Though I have seen a few articles popping up recently of Gigabyte getting ready to release their Z890 Tachyon Ice motherboard with CAMM2. I'd like to wait and see some comparison reviews between CU-DIMM and CAMM2 performance before I make a decision on a board. Especially considering the costs of them these days.

[@GingerJ73]

Wish MSI had that love for AMD nowadays! That is an awesome looking mobo. Looking forward to the reviews. Cheers

[@AnticipatedHedgehog]

Nice to see 10 gigabit native on the board. I'm surprised it's taken this long to have it standard on a board.

[@Ed-sh8jt]

Back in 2019 I purchased a MSI MEG X570 ACE Motherboard for $342 US dollars. Still running very good with AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D not sure this upgrade to Z890 justifies the $>600 dollars price plus new CPU and new ram costs.

[@fourwheelerjock]

Wish the X870e got a ace variant also. Was wanting to buy a ace but had to settle for. Carbon wifi

[@bryanbowen4193]

@@fourwheelerjock carbon is an excellent board

[@Davethreshold]

So: One more day for testing? They go on sale in one more!❤

[@sir1junior]

I have the X670e Ace for AM5 and love it.

[@sonnenschein1758]

I will never pay that much for a mainboard, that I have to replace after 2 or 3 years...

[@0-B1]

You replace that often why ? I buy high end when I move platform then stick with that until next socket type

[@sonnenschein1758]

@@0-B1 I see but what's about this? Bought an MSI X570 Unify (300 bucks) with an 3900x and 64 Gigs of Corsair Vengeance RAM in 2020 and now (after only 4 Years!) one of the RAM sticks died. Now a have to decide either to buy quite expensive DDR 4 Ram and a 5950X (which is the max this excellent board could handle) and live with these limitations or move to an AM5 or Z890 platform. The x570 Unify would work for another 1000 years, but it simply isn't possible to add a modern CPU... It now would be an easier decision if I'd bought a cheaper board instead...

[@Gimpy17]

Ddr4 is cheaper than ddr5. Snag an 5800x3d or a 5950x depending on your needs. Youll get another 2 years of use before i would move to am5 and a x3d chip. ​@@sonnenschein1758

[@TheTastefulThickness]

Why are you replacing motherboards?

[@interceptor001]

Better "value" than the hero. But the Aorus Master gives it a run for its money. If it only had a backplate. Will you also take a look at the z890 Aorus Master?

[@control4050]

The backplate is a must for heavy GPUs

[@qazinazifullah5851]

Great overview

[@STUDY84]

In Norway, this motherboard costs, today, 1616 USD or 17 689 Nok Incl. Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU Tray or 914USD without cpu

[@KelvinKMS]

I am happy with my MSI Z690 ACE which was on sale for $229. At least this MSI Z890 MB come with 10Gb/s Ethernet port ~

[@OneTrue_Jonny]

I just purchased the X870e Aorus master and spending $500 was already insane. But this pricing on the MeG is ridiculous.

[@Russy76]

Silly question, but how do you get the boards to light up outside of the case?

[@GhaliumHD]

you gotta tell me what track that was during the mini cine portion man

[@bryanbowen4193]

I'm either getting this or the carbon x870e coming from an am4 hero

[@rmorenberg]

As always great video

[@rednath7734]

Went straight to the pricing category lmao. Yeah nah I'm skipping on that one lmaon

[@LegoFerrari]

i swear price to performance ace mobos are great got the z790 one for 448,57 usd recently brand new

[@Rushil69420]

Is it possible to run the PCIE 5.0x8 slot as PCIE 4.0x16? I know the speeds are equivalent but is there a riser cable or software that could make it work?

[@trueneutral3092]

I was loyal to the MSI MEG Ace Brand/Model, until now. I'm out at that price.

[@cbrunnem6102]

@trueneutral3092 this is what happens when: return culture ramps hard, wages ramp hard, inflation ramps hard, etc.

[@Koeras16]

Well you can still be "loyal" to the product as it is while not really supporting them because of the outrageous price. At least for this generation.

[@ryanspencer6778]

@@trueneutral3092 in fairness, this might be the only one that somewhat justifies its price. The connectivity isn't far from HEDT. It's still stupidly expensive, but at least they aren't charging more for a lot less like Asus are.

[@Koeras16]

I wonder what type of consumer they are targeting....selling few units but at extremely high margin ? is that there tactic with that type of product ?

[@KMKKM007]

No AMD version. Wonder what happen to MSI-AMD

[@fourwheelerjock]

What i am wondering also.... I wanted to get a ACE but had to settle for a carbon wifi

[@AdamChalmers]

Looks beautiful but I just never understood the point of paying a lot of money for a motherboard. I bought the cheapest x570 board when I built my PC, and I've never needed to upgrade it. I've upgraded my RAM, CPU and GPU, but I've never needed to upgrade the motherboard. I just don't see the point spending money on these high-end hobos!

[@calebrio02]

I hate that manufacturers do better looking mobos for Intel than AMD. At least make them similar

[@fgtv.cucsuc2699]

im waiting for x870 godlike

[@fourwheelerjock]

I wish I could afford a Godlike lol. But I ain't paying 1200$ for a board. I wanted to get a ace in that 600-700$ range but they didn't make one for x870e. So I had to settle for a carbon wifi

[@zlibz4582]

n oram fan cooling bracket ?

[@B8con8tor]

For the money the Z890 Tomahawk is the way to go and if your more serious the carbon. Motherboards pricing is way out of hand. The ace is $930 Canadian.

[@antoniocampos1151]

Crazy how expensive it became... I know inflation is a thing but come on :S

[@Devastator0]

$1200AUD?!?!?!? Bloody hell...yep, that's a big miss for me.

All the motherboard companies really need to reduce the size of their logos and place it somewhere out the the way. Aorus is the only okay one

[@michaelmanning4158]

my lord motherboard manufacturers masters of gimmicks idc the m.2 is toolless or anything else RGB is lame mechanicism for PCIe slot is dumb and the prices are stupid for a 8-layer pcb board with capacitors and a chipset etc no microATX boards from MSI this just sucks this is supposed to be a power efficient CPU MSI??

Looks like an awesome board. But not at that price

"These new CPU have more PCIe lanes"? No, they don't. Anyways, Thunderbolt 5 is missing from this board.

$1200 ....... omfg. .Where do you sell a kidney

[@Timbershield]

Apple pricing hitting motherboards now

[@smamas114]

New mobos are quite expensive

[@paulboyce8537]

AUD$1200. 8 pin extra power to PCIe 5.0 PCIe 5.0 direct lane to CPU CUDIMM for 10000 speeds No Hyper-Threading Technology More powerful E Cores, overclockable. To me all this looks like tailor made for INTEL ARC Battlemage. If the full combo 285K (AUD$900)/CUDIMM RAM (AUD$650)/Battlemage (AUD$850)/MSI MEG Z890 ACE (AUD$1200) beats 5080 then it starts to make some sense. Still very expensive. 5080 is predicted to be AUD$1800-2250 just the card. Full system you might save. But it has to beat 5080.

[@thefluxlife]

argh, I feel like Intel always get better boards compared to AMD counterparts.

[@frankwong9486]

Don't spend too much on Intel board as they only support 1-2 generation Not like AMD 😂

[@KelvinKMS]

But you don't usually upgrade CPU too.

[@frankwong9486]

@@KelvinKMS it depends on uplift , still remember those intel 775 socket and you still able to slap a core 2 on a old board ( although official supported fsb speed limited ) And AMD am4 socket comes across zen1 to zen3 with x3d , that's massive jump I still having my 3900x retired as home lab and it was upgraded from 1700/2700x/3700x using same B350 board Example like AMD this generation "zen5%" which is not worth upgrading. I will keep my 7950x until 10950x
