MSI Pro Z890-S Wifi DDR5 Intel Motherboard (White)

The MSI Pro Z890-S WiFi is an ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z890 chipset, designed for Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors in the LGA 1851 socket. Its silver-white aesthetic is purpose-built for white PC builds, making it a strong visual and functional foundation for creative workstations and professional rigs alike. Connectivity is a clear priority on this board. It ships with Intel Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), supporting tri-band operation across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands with MU-MIMO TX/RX and channel widths up to 320 MHz, reaching speeds up to 5.8 Gbps. Bluetooth 5.4 with MLO and 4K-QAM is also included. Wired networking is handled by a Realtek 8125D 2.5 Gbps LAN controller for reliable, high-throughput connections. Storage options are comprehensive: three M.2 slots are available, with M.2_1 drawing directly from the CPU and supporting PCIe 5.0 x4 speeds. M.2_2 and M.2_3 are chipset-connected at PCIe 4.0 x4, with M.2_3 also offering SATA mode. Four SATA 6 Gbps ports round out the storage array. All M.2 slots accept 2280, 2260, and 2242 form factors, and M.2 Shield Frozr thermal covers are included. Memory support spans four DDR5 UDIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 256 GB. JEDEC speeds run from 4800 to 6400 MT/s, while XMP 3.0 overclocking reaches up to 8600+ MT/s in single-rank single-DIMM-per-channel configurations. CUDIMM support is included. The board carries a 12+1+1+1 digital power phase design with dual CPU power connectors and a supplemental PCIe power connector (8-pin), enabling it to sustain high-end processor loads. Thermal management includes an extended VRM heatsink, M.2 Shield Frozr covers, a chipset heatsink, and 7 W/mK MOSFET thermal pads. Display output includes HDMI 2.1 (4K 60 Hz), DisplayPort 1.4 (4K 60 Hz), and a Thunderbolt 4 Type-C port supporting DisplayPort 2.1 with UHBR20 up to 4K 120 Hz or 8K 60 Hz. USB connectivity covers USB 20 Gbps (Type-C, front and rear), multiple USB 5 Gbps Type-A ports, and four USB 2.0 front-panel headers. Audio is delivered via Realtek ALC897 in a 7.1-channel HD configuration.
