| Revew | Motherboard MSI PRO Z890-A WIFIThe MSI PRO Z890-A WIFI is an ATX motherboard with the Intel Z890 chipset and LGA1851 socket for Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors. It takes up to 256GB of DDR5 in four slots, runs memory at 9200+ MT/s with overclocking, supports CUDIMM modules and offers four M.2 slots, one of them PCIe 5.0, plus a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for the graphics card. The board comes in a silver design that fits both white and black builds, with two 40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 ports, Realtek 5Gbps LAN and Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4. A 16+1+1+1 power design, a 6-layer PCB and extended heatsinks keep it stable with high-end processors. 
Key features- Thunderbolt 4 and display - Two rear 40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 ports with DisplayPort 2.1, plus HDMI 2.1 with 4K 120Hz support.
- 5G LAN and Wi-Fi 7 - Realtek 8126 5Gbps LAN and Intel Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4, with the EZ Antenna for quick installation.
- Four M.2 slots - One PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot and three PCIe 4.0 x4 slots, with EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II and EZ M.2 Clip II for screwless installation.
- Stable power - 16+1+1+1 digital power design, two 8-pin CPU connectors, supplemental PCIe power and a 6-layer PCB with 2oz thickened copper.
- Easy building - Pre-installed I/O shield, EZ PCIe Release button for the graphics card, EZ Conn header and an EZ Digi-Debug LED that shows error codes.
- Fast USB - Front USB-C 20Gbps header with 27W fast charging, and 10Gbps and 5Gbps USB ports on the rear panel.
