Pro Z890 is Fast and Powerful!
Upgraded my old PC recently and put in this motherboard with an Ultra 7 processor. WOW, this Pro Z890 has everything! Fast speeds, 4 M2 slots, more than enough PCI-E slots, USB ports forever and more. Installation was a breeze (I am not a novice) and setup was simple. The BIOS can be setup for extreme performance and this thing flys! Highly recommend for anyone looking to move to the newest generation of intel processors!

MSI won me over today
After upgrading from my Asus Z690-A Prime, I decided to try the MSI Z890-A WiFi for its modern features and compatibility with Intel's latest processors. As someone accustomed to Asus boards, I was initially hesitant, but MSI has won me over with its exceptional build quality and intuitive BIOS interface. Navigating the menus is straightforward and efficient, making overclocking and system tweaks a seamless experience. The integrated WiFi 7 support is a welcome addition. I transferred my existing DDR5 RAM modules directly, and they booted without issues. Pairing it with the new Intel Core 7 265k was straightforward; after a quick BIOS update, enabling the Intel 200S series optimizations delivered a noticeable performance boost. Overall, the MSI Z890-A WiFi has exceeded my expectations for a high-end board, offering ample connectivity, and future-proofing for next-gen components. It's a solid choice for enthusiasts seeking reliability and ease.

Board will not save CMOS settings, worthless
This Wonky board is just sad. BIOS has been flashed and cleared in multiple ways, it's weak factory KTS CMOS battery was replaced with a new Panasonic. Every time the machine is restarted all saved CMOS settings were reset and cleared then it dumps me right into the BIOS without booting the machine. EVERY TIME. This nightmare board was replaced with an ROG Strix. Problem solved.
