High Performance MSI Z390-A PRO Motherboard for Intel 8th and 9th Gen with M.2 USB 3.1 Gen 2 DDR4 HDMI DP CFX Dual Gigabit LAN ATX Z390 Gaming Review

In February 2022, I took this board for the i5 9600K processor in order to overclock to 5 GHz, with which this motherboard coped with a bang. After a short googling and watching YouTube, I drove this percentage across all cores, first to 4.8, and then to 5 GHz, after which I decided to lower the frequency to 4.9 due to the fact that although Noctua NH D15 costs, 2x140mm screws for blowing and 3x140mm for blowing, but at idle the temperature is around 43-44 degrees. I note that the fans are…

Bought for 7500. for a system with an i5 9600KF processor and Crucial Ballistix Sport LT Red 3200MHz BLS2K16G4D32AESE 2x16Gb KIT memory. The processor operates at a frequency of 4700 MHz at 1.34 V (I don’t advise you to drive the processor on this motherboard above 4700, let alone fry it with Linx), the memory was overclocked to 3900 MHz CL16 (with the Anta777 extreme test). All timings for Micron E-DIE 3000-3200 MHz can be taken from my screen, memory voltage 1.42 V, IO / SA 1.23 V each (if it

Universal board. Through the official MSI software, you can easily overclock the CPU and RAM and customize the RGB backlight to your taste. You won't find equals for your money. Pros: Price, quality, ease of BIOS, there are many inputs for RGB and CBO pump connection. Metal PCI connector Some cons: Instructions and inscriptions on the board are as minimalistic as possible, as if they were created really for PRO users

at first I wanted to take a more expensive one, more beautiful, then I changed my mind, I took this one with the money saved, I bought an M2 NVME drive

Good motherboard, but again not cheap. Some pros: A new chipset, all the necessary connectors, a reinforced video card slot, a large heatsink on the power circuit. Has some cons: The radiator interfered with the installation of additional cooling on the case, but this is nonsense.

Thecompany msi and Intel decided tocome to an agreement and not release drivers for server Windows, so that they would buy servers, and not about motherboards for gamers. But by googling I found a solution, but it won’t work without dancing with a tambourine. Here is the link dude ? p=1075 or here is a foreign source . Work/2022/06/19/installing-intel-i211-i217v-i218v-i219v-drivers-windows-server-2022-eufi-boot/ Well, or put 10 and use it, well, not when you no longer buy a motherboard from…

An excellent motherboard that deserves a positive rating in the "price-quality" rating, everything you need is) excellent, it drives, launched the system after the old Asus motherboard without reinstalling the OS, technology stepped forward 👍👍😄 very happy about it, everything works with a bang, 9600kf percent overclocked to 4.5 so as not to , the temperature in games is 57-60 👍 Good mom, nothing more

The task was to assemble the optimal assembly for games without highlights and other jokes. Strictly, ascetically, effectively. Eventually: Overclocked 9600k to 5.0 without problems and overheating for a constant. Set the processor higher at your own peril and risk, because the feeder is still not designed for top stones. I dispersed ballistics from 3000c15 to 4000c16, this is almost space for such dice. In general, if there are no ambitions to set overclocker records, but give a little down…

Analogues for the price have 4-5 power phases, which is probably not enough for a future upgrade, but I could be wrong. So far, I have installed the i3-9100F, but when the processors of this line become cheaper, I will install the i7-9700KF or i9-9900KF, this motherboard is unlikely to be able to drive these stones to space, but I hope it will master moderate overclocking. And even if overclocking, for example, the i9-9900KF, is not overpowered, then at least I will set the RAM timings and this

Not a bad solid mother, inexpensive and sufficient for almost all gaming tasks. I don’t know how the overclocking and warming up of the VRM will be with older processors like 8700K, 9700K, 9900K . but 9600kf mosfets calmly keep the temperature up to 65-70 degrees in stress tests. In games, everything is lower. Memory quietly drives up to 4266 MHz, as in my case, this will be absolutely enough for games. For all sorts of overclocking records - the mother will not work, for this there are other,

A very suitable budget option. Suitable for IT people. In terms of economy and richness of many functionalities, a very affordable and good solution for home or work in a small office. Has some pros: Affordable price. Based on the results of work for 2 years, the technical parameters of the offhand board correspond to the declared ones. Cons below: Due to the short supply of technical documentation (product passport) by the store, I was not able to use one of the modules on the board, which…

Very attractive design, especially with the Zalman Z9 Neo White case and HyperX memory, the whole PC in white and black colors looks expensive and luxurious. Glowing streaks around the perimeter of the mat. Circuit boards as well as glowing white bulbs bring your PC to life from the inside out. Excellent model, fully justifies its price. Has pros: Excellent packaging, a good installation manual in various languages, everything is extremely simple and accessible, even for those who will assemble

Being old fashioned, all my system disks are partitioned in MBR format for legacy BIOS compatibility. Therefore, UEFI mode cannot be used and CSM must be enabled. Well I was very disappointed to find that IGP cannot be used when CSM is selected. I've never encountered this limitation before, so I checked out other vendors' manuals. It appears to be brand specific for this chipset - this is unacceptable. This might seem like an odd configuration for a gaming motherboard, but I like to use…

Excellent motherboard for the price. It has a solid build and good specs/functionality. It's not cheap by any means, but it's available. Let's get the obvious out of the way. I had the same missing M2 bolt issue as everyone else. I ordered a set of M2 screws from Revain for $8.52, which I shouldn't have done, but a few extra M2 screws wouldn't hurt. I think he had maybe 2 SATA cables. As for the motherboard, the installation went very smoothly. During installation, I added an NVMe drive…

I had a very bad experience with this purchase for a number of reasons. First, this motherboard came in a box that freely fit in a large box. No bubble wrap, nothing. Second, the user manual that came with this motherboard is useless as it doesn't tell you anything specific. It doesn't even look like it was written specifically for this board. Finally, after installing the motherboard, my computer would not boot. I've read about a lot of strange issues with this board including "only works with

I finally upgraded my computer with this motherboard and core i7 processor. I mainly use this for remote work so it's more than I need, but I'll probably be using this configuration for 8-10 years - it gives me the flexibility for technology changes that will inevitably happen. I have found that the CPU power cables are difficult to connect once the CPU cooler is attached. I would have liked another USB 2.0 connection, but I was able to set it up with 4 USB ports on the front. I'm not using the

had it not been for the fact that mine came without the M2 screw that comes with the rack. The rack piece came screwed on, but the small screw that fits into this rack (thus securing the nano SSD in place) didn't hold. Now I'm stuck trying to find a place to buy a replacement screw instead of fully assembling my new computer. Update: I ended up finding 3 sets of M2 screws so I could continue building the computer. Now I'm stuck on the fact that the computer only boots when I put 1 RAM stick in…

MSI is back on track! Keep in mind that the "PRO" part of this model isn't always beginner-friendly, although MSI tech support is happy to help you with your build. I would say that this motherboard has so many overclocking features that using it without an unlocked processor (model K) would be a waste. All 1-3 star ratings are for people who either don't read the instructions or don't want to call MSI support if they don't know what they did wrong. I paired this with an i7 9700K, G.Skill…
