MSI MEG X570 ACe Wifi DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The MSI MEG X570 ACE WiFi is a full-sized ATX motherboard built on the AMD X570 chipset, designed for AMD Socket AM4 processors including 2nd and 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen and Ryzen with Radeon Vega Graphics desktop CPUs. Measuring 12 x 9.6 inches (30.5 x 24.4 cm), it fits standard ATX enclosures secured via 9 mounting holes. At the heart of its connectivity is the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 module, which supports 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands at up to 160 MHz channel width, delivering up to 2.4 Gbps theoretical throughput. Bluetooth 5 is included. Wired networking is handled by a dual-LAN configuration: one Intel WGI211AT Gigabit LAN controller and one Realtek RTL8125 2.5 Gbps LAN controller. Memory support spans four DDR4 DIMM slots accommodating up to 128 GB in dual-channel configuration. JEDEC-validated speeds include 1866, 2133, 2400, and 2666 MHz. Both non-ECC UDIMM and ECC UDIMM (operating in non-ECC mode) unbuffered modules are supported. Storage options are generous: three M.2 slots (Key M) are provided — one directly from the processor supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 on 3rd Gen Ryzen or PCIe 3.0 x4 on 2nd Gen Ryzen, and two from the X570 chipset supporting PCIe 4.0/3.0 x4 as well as SATA 6 Gb/s. Additionally, four SATA 6 Gb/s ports are available, with RAID 0, 1, and 10 support through the X570 chipset. Expansion slots consist of two PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16 slots, one PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16 slot wired at x4, and two PCIe 4.0/3.0 x1 slots. Multi-GPU configurations are supported with 2-Way NVIDIA SLI and 3-Way AMD CrossFire. USB connectivity is comprehensive: the board provides USB 3.2 Gen2 (10 Gbps), USB 3.2 Gen1, and USB 2.0 ports both on the rear panel and via internal headers. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC1220 codec delivering 7.1-channel High Definition Audio with optical S/PDIF output. RGB lighting is supported through one 4-pin RGB LED connector, two 3-pin RAINBOW LED connectors, and one 3-pin Corsair connector. Six fan headers including one dedicated water-pump connector give full thermal control flexibility. A Debug Code LED and four EZ Debug LEDs aid troubleshooting. The board carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
