Z890 ATX motherboard for Intel Core Ultra Series 2

The MSI Z890 GAMING PLUS WIFI6E is an ATX board built around the Intel Z890 chipset and LGA 1851 socket. It supports Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2) and dual-channel DDR5 memory with Memory Boost up to 9200+ MT/s when overclocked. A 14+1+1+1 Duet Rail power system with 55A DrMOS and dual 8-pin CPU connectors delivers stable power for demanding workloads.

Suits builders who want PCIe 5.0 graphics

This board fits users who need a single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for a graphics card and one CPU-attached M.2 Gen5 slot for the fastest storage. Two additional chipset M.2 slots run at PCIe 4.0 x4. Intel Killer 5G LAN and Wi-Fi 6E handle high-speed networking. Systems requiring ECC memory or more than one full-length PCIe 5.0 slot should look at a different platform.

DDR5 9200 MT/s headroom.

Dual-channel DDR5 scales to 9200+ MT/s OC for memory-intensive tasks. The primary M.2_1 slot supports 2280 and 2260 drives at PCIe 5.0 x4, while M.2_2 adds 22110 support at PCIe 4.0. Rear I/O includes one USB 10Gbps Type-C and one USB 10Gbps Type-A for fast peripherals. Bandwidth limits appear when populating multiple high-speed chipset devices simultaneously.
