Review on 💻 MSI MEG Z490 ACE ATX Gaming Motherboard - 10th Gen Intel Core, LGA 1200 Socket, SLI/CF Support, Triple M.2 Slots, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Wi-Fi 6, Mystic Light RGB by Evan Zurlo

I'm writing this so I don't miss my original one star rating. (Revane looks through it. I hope it gets thrown away.) I like this mobo. It replaced MSI Platinum 4 years ago and it's great. I especially like its weight: the Platinum was the first motherboard I used for the project that felt really solid, not a 5 1/4 inch floppy. The Z490 ACE follows this tradition down to the smallest detail. Little did I know that SATA ports 2, 5, and 6 would not be available when using M.2 slots 1 and 2, respectively. I had a WD 2TB Blue SSD connected to SATA 2 and it kept getting a Genie error on boot. I thought I had bad pay. This resulted in a $700 error, which I won't list here. !I just looked at the installation guide and it's right there in black and white. This board is awesome and even better for the price. I would highly recommend it.
