Socket AM4 Platform

The MSI MEG X570S ACE MAX is an ATX motherboard built around the AMD X570 chipset for Socket AM4 processors. It accepts Ryzen 5000 Series, 5000 G-Series, 4000 G-Series, 3000 Series, 3000 G-Series, 2000 Series and 2000 G-Series desktop CPUs. Enthusiasts and content creators gain a feature-rich foundation for high-core-count workloads. The board targets users who need extensive connectivity and premium audio in a standard form factor.

128GB DDR4 Headroom

Four memory slots support dual-channel DDR4 up to 5300 MHz when overclocked, with a maximum capacity of 128 GB. Everyday productivity and gaming run comfortably at standard speeds, while memory-intensive tasks such as virtualization or large media timelines benefit from the full 128 GB ceiling. Bandwidth scales with Ryzen 5000 Series and 3000 Series processors to enable PCIe 4.0 on the primary x16 slots and three M.2 connectors. Older CPUs limit those links to PCIe 3.0, reducing storage and GPU throughput.

Bundled Essentials Only

The retail package supplies the motherboard, a metal battery, three SATA cables and a chassis I/O back panel. No additional accessories, software suites or mounting hardware are included. Builders must source CPU coolers, case standoffs, fan headers and any required adapters separately. The minimal bundle keeps the focus on the board’s native 2.5 Gbps LAN, 7.1-channel audio with ESS DAC and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20 Gbps Type-C connectivity.

Questions about this item

Will my Ryzen 3000 series CPU work with the X570 chipset on this board?

The board supports Ryzen 3000 series desktop processors in the AM4 socket and the X570 chipset enables PCIe 4.0 on those CPUs.

How can I verify the 7.1-channel audio is active after building the system?

Open Windows Sound settings, select the Realtek ALC4082 device and confirm 7.1 appears in the spatial sound or speaker configuration tab.

Does the box include the I/O shield and SATA cables, or do I need to buy them separately?

The package contains the motherboard, metal battery, three SATA cables and the chassis I/O back panel, so no separate shield or cables are required.
