MSI MEG Z890 UNIFY-X LGA 1851 ATX Motherboard

The MSI MEG Z890 UNIFY-X is an ATX motherboard created for builders who want a strong, flexible platform for Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors. By combining the LGA 1851 socket with the Intel Z890 chipset, it gives gamers, content creators, and AI enthusiasts the headroom to push performance while running Windows 11.

Two DDR5 DIMM slots accept up to 128 GB of memory at 9600 MT/s, so large game worlds, complex timelines, and machine-learning datasets load quickly and stay responsive. Storage options are equally broad. Six M.2 connectors let you mix ultra-fast PCIe 5.0 drives with everyday PCIe 4.0 or SATA modules, and six SATA III ports keep existing hard drives and optical devices in play.

For add-in cards, the board supplies two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots that handle the latest graphics cards or dedicated accelerators, plus additional PCIe 4.0 slots for capture cards or high-speed networking. Dual Thunderbolt 4 ports open 40 Gb/s lanes to external SSDs, docks, and displays.

Networking is covered by onboard Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and a 5 GbE LAN port, giving you reliable options whether you prefer wireless freedom or wired stability. A front-panel USB-C header delivers 20 Gb/s to compatible cases, and hardware controls such as the Tuning Controller, BIOS Flashback, and Clear CMOS buttons make overclocking and recovery simple, even on an open test bench.

If you need a motherboard that balances cutting-edge connectivity, generous storage support, and enthusiast-friendly tuning in a standard ATX layout, the MEG Z890 UNIFY-X is ready for the build.
