The MSI Z890 GAMING PLUS WiFi6E Isn’t A MAG Board?
It Is A Decent Deal To Build An Intel System With
MSI recently moved their GAMING PLUS line into the MAG family of boards, but apparently only for AMD systems. The Z890 GAMING PLUS WiFi6E does not bear the MSI Arsenal Gaming logo or boot screen, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a capable board. The board has four NVMe slots, one PCIe 5.0 x4 and three PCIe 4.0 x4, all with heatspreaders. The four PCIe slots include a Gen5 x 16, two Gen4 x 4 and a wee Gen4 x 1 so you will be able to fit more cards than you need inside your system.
The back panel includes everything from a USB-C 10Gb/s port to a legacy PS/2 port as well as a 5GB Intel Killer NIC if you don’t want to use the RealTek 6E WiFi. Check out more on the $200 Z890 GAMING PLUS WiFi6E at The FPS Review.
This tier is lacking fancy RGBs and has fewer of the DIY connectors of the higher-tier options. The MSI Z890 GAMING PLUS WiFi6E is offered on the MSI-US store for $199 and carries a three-year warranty.
