Socket LGA 1151 Z390 ATX Motherboard

The MSI MPG Z390 GAMING PLUS is an ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z390 chipset for LGA 1151 processors. It supports 9th and 8th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs. Dual-channel DDR4 memory runs up to 4400MHz with a maximum capacity of 64GB. The board provides two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, four PCIe 3.0 x1 slots and an M.2 E-key slot for Intel CNVi wireless modules.

Gaming builders needing multi-GPU space

This board suits builders who want two full-length graphics cards and plenty of high-speed USB ports. It offers two USB 3.1 Gen2 ports (one Type-A, one Type-C) on the rear I/O plus six USB 3.1 Gen1 ports. The Realtek ALC892 codec delivers 7.1-channel audio and the Intel I219-V controller handles Gigabit networking. Buyers needing more than one M.2 storage slot or a smaller form factor should consider other models.

Sustained load on VRM and chipset heatsinks

Under prolonged heavy workloads the voltage regulator and chipset heatsinks dissipate heat without active cooling. The 10-layer PCB construction helps spread thermal load across the board. PCIe 3.0 signalling remains stable during extended gaming or rendering sessions. The included SATA cable and rear I/O shield are the only accessories supplied in the minimal packaging.

Questions about this item

Do I need a CPU with an LGA 1151 socket to use this motherboard?

Yes, the board accepts Intel Core 9000 Series, 8th Gen Core, Pentium Gold or Celeron processors that fit the LGA 1151 socket.

Will my existing DDR4 memory run at its rated speed on the Z390 chipset?

The board supports dual-channel DDR4 up to 4400 MHz, so compatible modules will operate at their rated frequency when installed.

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

Open the Realtek audio control panel in Windows and confirm 7.1 speaker configuration is selected and all channels produce sound during the test.
