THE REVELATION OF LEGEND The MEG series is revealed as a legend that represents the ultimate elegance in gaming. With the determination of transcending current gaming products, the flagship models push the limits of what an extreme gaming series can be. Stacked Fin Array Design Stacked fin array design enlarges up to 50% heat dissipation, provides the maximum surface of heat dissipation. Direct Touch Cross Heat-pipe The U-shape dual heat-pipe connect three MOS heatsinks to enlarge the surface of heat dissipation. Double-sided M.2 Shield Frozr Double-sided M.2 thermal solution keep M.2 SSDs safe while preventing throttling, making them run cooler and faster Aluminum Backplate The aluminum baseplate cool down the MOSFET temperature with dedicated thermal pads. 7W/mK Thermal Pad High quality 7W/mK MOSFET thermal pads and extra choke thermal pads ensure all cores running in high performance. Enlarged PCH Heatsink MSI replaced the PCH fan with enlarged heatsink design to reduce dust and noise as well as maintain high heat dissipation efficiency. DIY 2.0 – INTEGRATING WITH THE SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT Connect and synchronize with MSI coolers and cases with strategically positioned pin-header locations including a dedicated pump-fan header. MSI motherboards let you manage speeds and temperatures for all your system and CPU fans in BIOS and software with a simplified graphical interface. You can also set up to 4 temperature targets, which will adjust the fan speeds automatica Detecting CPU & GPU temperatures and automatically adjusting fan duty of system fans to a proper value by adopting MSI AI ENGINE. MSI fan headers automatically detect fans running in DC or PWM mode for optimal tuning of fan speeds and silence. Hysteresis also makes your fans spin up fluently to make sure your system stays silent, no matter what. DUAL PUMP FAN HEADER FOR OPTIMIZED WATER COOLING Designed to support the most popular All-In-One & customized water cooling solutions on the market, MEG Z790 ACE features the exclusive dual pump PIN headers to fit multiple water cooling solutions demands. The dedicated pump PIN header supports up to 3 amp, giving you full control of the water pump speed. A clearly marked ‘keep-out-zone’ allows for easy, safe installation and a perfect fit. LIGHTNING GEN 5 PCI-E Doubling over the previous generation, the bandwidth of a x16 interface can reach 128GB/s. SMT PCIE 5.0 SLOT The advanced SMT(Surface Mount Technology) PCIE slot diminish interference and electrical noise, fully support the PCI-E 5.0 signal. REINFORCED, HEAVY SOLDERED CONNECTIONS Secure to the motherboard with extra solder points and support the weight of heavy graphics cards.
