LGA 1151 Intel Z390 ATX motherboard

The MSI Z390-A PRO fits 9th Generation Intel Core, Pentium and Celeron processors in an LGA 1151 socket. It is built for system builders who want a standard ATX board with the Z390 chipset. Dual-channel DDR4 memory support and a full set of rear I/O make it a practical foundation for everyday workstations or gaming rigs.

128 GB DDR4 4400 MHz capacity

Four DIMM slots accept up to 128 GB of dual-channel DDR4 memory at speeds up to 4400 MHz. That headroom handles heavy multitasking and large content-creation projects without paging. The two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots and four x1 slots give room for a graphics card plus add-in cards, while the single M.2 E-key slot is limited to an Intel CNVi wireless module only.

Realtek ALC892 audio and Intel I219-V LAN

The onboard Realtek ALC892 codec delivers 7.1 channel audio through standard analogue jacks. A single Intel I219-V controller provides a wired Gigabit Ethernet connection. Rear USB includes two USB 3.1 Gen2 ports — one Type-A and one Type-C — plus two USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A ports; four more Gen1 ports are available via internal headers. Six SATA III ports support RAID arrays for storage redundancy or speed.

Questions about this item

Will the 4400 MHz DDR4 memory standard work with the slower DDR4 modules I already have?

The board supports dual-channel DDR4 up to 4400 MHz and will run existing DDR4 DIMMs at their rated speeds.

How can I confirm the Realtek ALC892 7.1 channel audio is functioning after assembly?

Play a multichannel test file in Windows Sound settings and verify output from all eight channels.

Does the package include the Wi-Fi antenna or must I buy it separately?

The box contains the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and the rear I/O shield; a Wi-Fi antenna is only supplied if the board has a built-in wireless module.
